The grocery shopping experience.

This morning I was sitting with my roommates trying to come up with an idea for a photo adventure, but with it being cold and rainy there weren't a whole lot of options. Katie started talking about what she was going to be making for dinner and what she needed to get from the grocery store. I proceeded to come up with the ridiculous idea of going with her to Kroger and documenting her grocery shopping experience. Call me crazy, but sometimes you just gotta go along with the weird ideas that come to ya…

The beginnings of 2015

I have been living in Nashville for just over 6 months. One year ago I was here visiting friends, and when I arrived back in Wisconsin I knew that I was going to be moving south. This last half of the year has been full of dancing (SO much dancing!), delicious food and drink, developing relationships and community, laughter, and learning how to be patient and trust God with all things - two lessons I will surely be working on for the rest of my life.

I have big plans and goals now that I've settled into my new home and life here. I would like to continue to learn, grow and develop my photography. I want to explore more of the Tennessee countryside. I hope to write more letters, journal, and better my poem/song writing. I want to love the people around me better, and to take more opportunities to give or lend a helping hand.

The following are some photos I took last weekend. I decided I needed to be proactive with developing my photography and went out with my friend James to capture whatever I saw that was interesting, inspiring, and at times maybe even a little humorous.

Fresh air and a quiet place...

Having spent the last few years living in a cabin in the woods of Wisconsin, its been a bit strange moving to a place where I step outside my door and am not immediately surrounded by trees much older than I am, and all other kinds of wildlife - however, I adore my large backyard and the birds and crickets that chirp in the warmer months.
There's a park about 15-20 minutes from my Nashville home that I can easily drive to when I need some fresh air and a quiet place. The following are some photos I took on a hike there with my friend Hannah. We both moved to Nashville around the same time and share a love for the outdoors.

Katie Kay

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to do some head shots of this lovely girl. I helped her pick out her outfit and accessories, and we spent a bit of time outside capturing some images. Below are my favorites...
