A short video I made with my go pro of Bonnaroo 2015 (Manchester, TN)

I went back to Havasupai for a second year in a row with a group of friends - some new, and some from last year's trip.  Amazing views as always! 

{All photos taken on Canon 5d Mark iii with a 50mm 1.4 and a 24-70 2.8 lens}

I went to Baltimore, MD and York, PA to check out The Preakness horse derby with two friends for the weekend! 

Charleston, SC is home to many beautiful plantations and gardens including Magnolia.  These gardens were more natural and romantic than the other gardens I have been to. 

I spent 5 days in the heart of Times Square with my cousin and uncle and did so many things that NYC has to offer!  Such a fun and exciting trip in a city that never sleeps. 

We checked out the Met, the Museum of National History, Central Park, Little Italy, SOHO, took a carriage ride at 1 am, took a helicopter ride around the city and statue of liberty, went to the top of the Empire State Building, and explored the many streets, restaurants, bars and shops.

Every year, the city of Savannah, GA fills with crowds of people from all over to celebrate st. Patrick's day out on the streets.   This year I spent the day there with 3 friends. 

 I participated as the model in a styled session at Middleton Place this weekend and stuck around for a few minutes afterwards to wander the gardens by myself.  Here are a few photos I took after my shoot!

There was a sandbar about a 35min speed boat ride out into the sea where the sand was raised so high you could stand and be about waist deep.  Apparently, fisherman used to come here to clean off their fish and overtime the stingrays started gathering here, waiting, eating, and hanging out with the fisherman.

This year I had Martin Luther King day off and I decided to spend it outdoors even though I had a to do list a mile long.  I had been wanting to check out Congaree National Forrest since I moved to Charleston in 2013, and I greatly miss the trees we have in the PNW.  So I grabbed my friend Ally and my camera for the day.

This weekend I checked out Cypress Gardens in Goose Creek, South Carolina with two friends.  Here are some shots! 
Photos are taken with a mix of Canon 5d mark iii w/ Sigma 24-70 lens, and a gopro.

My first timelapse video on my gopro ... hoping to get much better at this! 
This was taken at sullivan's island station 18 last weekend during our beach bonfire!

I just bought a Go Pro from Costco and while i was headed to Orlando, FL i figured what a great way to test it out!

These were not taken as photos - These are videos I made, and then took a snapshot on my computer screen.  There is no editing whatsoever on these photos. 

Here's a few videos I made on the rides! Don't mind the horrible filming  ;)

This October, 8 of us took a trip to Asheville, NC.  We stayed downtown in an awesome loft, explored the city, and drove / hiked around blue ridge parkway. 

To keep with the "lets stay weird" vibe we all love about Asheville, most of the shots in downtown Asheville are with a lensbaby - or as my friends call it "the toilet plunger lens that takes weird photos."

Here's a short little video I made on my iphone

Here are some photos I took at Folly beach (main pier and lighthouse) this weekend.

My parents came to visit Charleston for the first time and while they were here they took my roomate and I to Savannah, GA.  It was under a 2 hour drive and such an adorable city.  We even got to sit on a bench where Forrest Gump was filmed <3

On my visit to Omaha, NE I dropped and broke one of my favorite lenses (a 24-70mm f/2.8).  The damage seemed minimal so rather than replace it I decided to try V-Photo in Atlanta and explore the area while I was there.

V-Photo did an amazing job and fixed my lens at a price that completely made my day!

While in Atlanta I got to check out SweetWater Brewing, the Stadium and downtown bars, CNN, and some of the nightlife including Church and Mothers which were such a cool atmosphere!

I spent some time in Omaha, NE during August and got to spend the day at the #1 zoo in America!  Here are some of my favorites:

Is there really a better place to visit in August than Seattle... The Pacific Northwest.. Washington.. ?!?

I feel so lucky to have been able to go on this trip to Havasupai, in Arizona!  I had the best time with an amazing group of friends hanging out in Phoenix and making the hike to gorgeous Havasupai =)

Photos are taken with a combination of:
 - Canon 5D Mark iii (Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 + Canon 50mm f/1.4)
 - Olympus Tough Stylus (Waterproof)
 - HTC One

I was headed on my usual run around Lake Whitney {Johns Island, SC} and halfway through I saw a new addition to the ever abundant geese that live on this lake.  

What did I do? Run back home - grab my camera - and head back to lay in the grass and observe this little family until they eventually swam away for the night. 

Look closely and you can see the baby, swimming at the side of it's parent {on the right}.

Before on boarding the USS Yorktown {CV-10} in Charleston, SC I took some photos from outside of it, overlooking the beautiful Ravenel bridge.  Together, the photos show a mix of patriotism and nature.
