GlobeHopper

GlobeHopper is yet another wonderful hole-in-the-wall coffee shop we have here in Richmond.
I've been quite on the coffee house discovering/visiting escapade this month (remember Urban Farmhouse?) and I'm loving finally visiting these awesome places that have been here for ages but I've just never gotten around to visiting. 
My friend and I went one afternoon and we got smoothies and a sandwich to split. 
Let me tell you, it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. And I'm not a huge sandwich person, so that's sayin somethin. If they have "The Dutch" when you go. Get it. That's all I have to say.
Also their homemade pickles were amazing. I should have asked if I could buy a whole jar... I mean really.

I've actually already been back since my first visit and I can't wait to go again. 
I just love discovering new favorite restaurants!

A Photoshoot

Today I wanted to share a fun photoshoot my friend Julie and I did with Meagan recently!
Meagan is very talented and I've been shooting some weddings with her this Summer which have been super fun and great learning experiences. 
We went to Main Street Station for this shoot and despite the rain and humidity making our perfectly curled hair go crazy, she managed to make us look pretty good. ;)

Enjoy the photos and be sure to check out her site!

Isn't Julie the cutest?
Seriously, I have the most adorable friends.

Dear Readers,
Gosh, I haven't done one of these in a while.

I am so super excited about selling some jewelry in your store! 
(More detailed post coming soon)

Dear Tomorrow's Craft Show,
I wish I was ready for you.

Dear Everyone Who Loves Knit Stuff,
Check out the shop! I have a few knits in there now and will put up some more in the upcoming colder months. But Fall is practically here. You know you need a new hat and/or cowl and/or scarf!
I do custom orders as well, so if you see something but want it in a different color just email or message me!

Dear Fall,
Hurry up.

Dear Everything Pumpkin Flavored,
Also hurry up.

Dear Chai Tea Lattes,
I'm glad I started drinking you again, even if that's not really weather appropriate.

Dear Costco,
If your machine could not be broken every time I take film to develop that would be super super awesome.

Dear Everyone,
I may or may not have listened to Justin Bieber's Christmas CD all the way through in the car the other day...
What?
I love Christmas.

Urban Farmhouse

Urban Farmhouse is one of several unique and fun coffee houses we have here in Richmond. I went for the first time last weekend and fell in love (I know I say that a lot, but really, it's true). It was the perfect after dinner spot to sit, have some cookies and soda and play dominoes. Not only that, but the cutest little band (who did a cover of a Marina & The Diamonds song! This instantly scores points with me...) was playing and the lead singer had the most beautiful voice. I really wish I had asked her if she had a website or something or what her name was at least!
Anyway, it's definitely a new favorite, if you have the chance to stop by you should.

Jessica & Jamison Wedding {Part 1}

It's been quite the Summer of weddings so far!
And this was definitely a beautiful one. Every detail, right down to the Kate Spade shoes, was just lovely. Jessica and Jamison were quite possibly one of the cutest couples ever. You can tell they are so very much in love. Which, of course, is always a plus when you're shooting a wedding. ;)
They also made most of the decorations themselves!
I feel like DIY weddings really do turn out the cutest.
This was my second wedding with this girl and we had a wonderful time as always.
But enough talking, onto the pictures!

Part 2 coming soon!



Street Style Saturday


So I mentioned some time ago, wanting to get back into taking street style photos (which you can read more about here, along with what I mean when I say street style), and I think I'm finally getting around to it.

I love capturing people in photographs.
In their various states, phases and situations.
It's one of the reasons I love photography in the first place.
And though I have a long way to go in mastering, or even coming close to being great at it, I figured I might as well share them with you all. 
Why not right?
Plus you guys are always great for feedback!
So let me know if you have any thoughts or any ideas on how to make these posts better in the future and more enjoyable to read. Would you want me to just post a bunch of photos by themselves or post the location or a comment about each photo?
Let me know!

 This is the start of what I hope will be a regular thing on the blog, at least for a little while.
Ladies and gentleman:

Street Style Saturday.
