Happy happy Friday! How’s this week been for ya?
This week seems to have dragged on a bit (I blame it on the midterm I had on Thursday) and I am more than ready for some free-time to catch up on all things blogging and photography. I’m actually heading back to my hometown to spend some time with my parents, photograph a few sessions, go to Adam and Taylor’s pre-prom photo gathering, and am meeting up with a wedding photographer who I’ll be shooting with in the summer. ALSO. I’m probably going to spend all my time drop by Kyle’s parent’s home to play with Tucker. He’s turning into such a monster and I love him quite much <3.
Busy, but fun! That seems to be the theme to my life these last few months. Also, I know I have been pretty vague with all the things going on with me right now, but worry not! I have a big blog post coming up to explain what’s up.
Here are some of my current favs! If anyone feels the overwhelming urge to buy me something, don’t hold back- I’ve heard it’s always good to stick to your instincts 😉 .
12 Mile Long-Run of DEATH:
So this is the reason why I’m getting this post up this morning instead of last night like I had planned. This 12 miles was the longest run I’ve EVER done (my last longest one was a 10 miler) and it went pretty welll except for the last stretch of two miles or so. My body was so, SO done and my joints were absolutely killing me. Once we got home, I could hardly walk and had to pop 3 advil and a Nyquil so ensure that I’d be able to get at least some sleep. I’m feeling a lot better now, though, and am excited to taper down. Our running schedule for next week doesn’t have us doing any more than 6 and I’m prettttty excited about that, not gonna lie.
A big shoutout to Lana, Taylor, and Tom for helping me push through! Tom went on after us to finish the last 13.1 miles by himself. Just a casual half-marathon on a Thursday night 😉 .
Etsy Food Photography Finds
I want an endless supply of moolah $$ so I can buy ALL the things. And by all the things I mean food photography props! I’m trying to improve my photos and start trying for a more rustic shabby -barnyard-chic look (because that’s a thing, apparently, and I lurrrve it) and all the gorgeous props, plates, bowls, etc on Etsy are making me swoon a bit 😯 .
Cappuccino Mug Cup // French Vintage Digoin Earthenware // Large Black Walnut Cutting Board // Small Ceramic Heart Bowls // Large Wooden Cutting Board // Silver Galvanized Metal Bucket //Reclaimed Wood Pine Cake Stand // Reclaimed Wood Boxes
Ahhhh, want want want.
Keep.com
Total bad habit, but I have a tendency to scroll through the site as I’m lying in bed for a few minutes. So. Many. Cute. Finds.
Gold Stemless Wine Glasses (Set of 4)
Anddd last, but certainly not least, this Indoor S’more Maker because the world needs more things like this.
So that’s that! I’m also going back to my hometown tonight (after a nice dinner out with the boy) and I’m excited to spend some time at home.
Question: What’s something you’ve been loving lately?
woohoo! Great job on conquering those 12 miles! It’s the absolute worst when you can feel your joints aching though
Super cute wine glasses too!
That indoor s’mores maker is so cute! At a bonfire a couple months ago, it was so cold that we can inside and made s’mores under the oven broiler instead, but not everyone got to make their own s’mores that way, so this would’ve solved that problem
Awesome job on your 12 miler, especially when it got really tough! Are you planning on doing a post on your half marathon training thoughts? I’d love to hear more about how it’s going for you!
I’ve used that 105 a few times at weddings for ring shots and little details and it is divine!!! If I needed it ALL the time I’d justify the cost, whew it’s a pricey little guy! You will love it!!! And girl, you are going to rock at your half marathon, seriously, you’ve got this! It sounds like your training has been going well and you are going to be fully prepared for it!
Way to go girl on that 12 mile run!! It’s nice that you have some friends to train with. Ooh that macro lens would be fun. I’m dying to get a 50mm lens for my birfday this summer. Are you doing an internship with a wedding photographer?
