April 11 - April 24, 2016

The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of amazing travel, sister visits, eating (a lot) and snapping photos. I missed my last week's post because I was in the midst of it all, but today I present you with TWO week's worth of photos. It started with a trip back home to Boston, which was absolutely amazing. I caught up with all of my dearest friends, hung out with family, got to take some head shots around the city and capture wedding photos for such a fun and beautiful couple. Perhaps best of all, I got to visit Dairy Twist for an ice cream cone (black raspberry and coffee twist soft serve with chocolate sprinkles) and was in Heaven.

From there, Matt and I headed back to Durham with my sister, Julie in tow. Julie and I got out of dodge and headed to the beach for a few days, which was both relaxing and somewhat productive. We explored Beaufort, ate the greasiest of beach foods and the most tasty desserts and wine, and thoroughly enjoyed the salty air and sunshine.

This past weekend Matt and I did a little adventure of our own through Hillsborough, where we stumbled upon Cate's Corner Farm - a perfect little farm on the side of the road where we picked our fill of delicious fresh strawberries. Next stop on the journey was an hour-long line at Maple View Farm for a bowl of ice cream (if you haven't figured it out already, ice cream is pretty much a staple of my life). The ice cream was amazing as always, however I like the line situation better in the dead of winter when we visited last. Duly noted for next time.

All that said, below is a small glimpse of all of that bopping around. Enjoy!

About the project:

If you take a look through my hard drives, you'll find folders and folders of photos, most of which never truly have had their time in the limelight. These photos are the result of some random moments that I caught while my camera happened to be close by, photowalks from around town, a beautiful instance where the sunlight hit a subject just right, but none of these times warranted a dedicated blog post or feature story on my website. Many of these photos I really like, but once they're snapped they sadly get lost in the digital abyss to be found months later when I sift through my earlier work just for fun.

To bring some of these lost images to the surface and make sure they get their time to be enjoyed by others, I'm embarking on a journey this year to share my weeks in photos with you all. Not only will this give me a platform to post the random beauty I see in the world during my day-to-day, but will also encourage me to once again bring my camera with me everywhere so I can be sure to catch those visions once I see them.

Get in touch!
