Friday Favorites

Hi friends! Happy Friday!

I have a productive day today that involves geting mentored by a professional photographer, going to an interview for an internship (more on this late, big life change to be announced), shopping with some of my housemates downtown, and photographing a graduation session on the beach. It’ going to be a fantastic day!

I’ve decided to make Friday a day where I can just share some of the things I’ve been loving. That way, things aren’t just food food food all the time and ya’ll can get a closer look into what I’ve been up to. Onwards!

Bagel Brother’s Banana Walnut Baked Bread

You guys. This stuff. AMAZING. My housemate, Sophia, used to always make their cinnamon bread in the morning and the good smells coming out of the toaster prompted me to go find my own loaf at the local Albertsons. They periodically sell out, though, so a few days ago I decided to try their banana walnut bread and it is out-of-this-world good! It’s not like the traditional banana bread where it’s more cake than bread, so it makes a more hearty breakfast treat without being all that terrible for you. I like to spread some cream cheese on a toasted slice and use my cinnamon sugar grinder to top it off (best Trader Joe’s purchase ever).

Studio Work

I’ve been doing tons and tons of practice in a local photographer’s studio for the last week and have been absolutely loving trying out a new style. While I think my heart is more in natural light, my mentor, Matt, is insanely talented at studio work (all photography in general, really) and he’s been helping me get a better grasp on artificial lights. I’ve been bringing in my housemates to use as model and we’ve all been having a blast!

Current Craves:

Because I think we could all use a little extra smile today :).

Hope you all have a great Friday and weekend? I’ll be popping in tomorrow with a yummy & nutritious drink recipe that will help you get into the springtime mood.
