Mixed Berry Tart with Ginger Beer & Whipped Chamomile Cream + a soda review!

Hello, friend. 

So I have a berry exciting post for you this week! I am finally able to share shots from my time photographing the Homer Soda Fest this year. I had such an amazing time trying all the sodas and capturing moments from the day’s events. Even through the raindrops, it turned out to be a beautiful day full of  great food and refreshing sodas. In that day of photographing, I learn a lot about festival photography and I now have a new found appreciate for that style of shooting. I hope to do more in the coming years. Are you ready to see to photos? Let’s dive in, shall we?

mini chocolate chip & chamomile tea cookie sandwiches + a new camera

Hello, friend.

So I haven’t posted for almost a month….yeahhh. Let me try and explain.

This post is roughly two (going on three) weeks in the making. I had an entire post written and queued up, but something about it felt unauthentic and I deleted it. So here I am, writing this post for the second time. Though why the almost month hiatus? School has been kind of a lot to handle and all of my efforts are being spent working on homework and papers (and concerns about the state’s lack of funding the university, but that's another story). Then to top it all off, I’ve been in a writer’s block state for the last few weeks. Just the perfect combo!

In other exciting news, I got a new camera! What?! I know right? Long time coming, but I finally had enough money saved to upgrade. Over seven months of late night shifts at the hotel plus doing client work for Clabber Girl and Aunt Millie’s allowed me to buy my camera. I couldn’t be happier about it. It’s a Canon EOS Rebel T5i (her name is Stella, and yes I named my camera) and I love her.
