![]() So much of my inspiration and ideas for photo shoot concepts come from my favorite childhood memories. Two of which are Beetle Juice and Japanimation. Beetle Juice is just so creeptastic and nothing is cuter than Japanese cartoons. So what better than a merger of the two ideas? My gorgeously rad model, Jessica, must have been reading my mind when shopping for her wardrobe. It was an awesome coincidence to discover she had bought a graphic tee with Japanese words! I know I say things went perfect a lot (I promise I'm not just tooting my own horn) but they that exactly how it went. Jessica worked the lens like a true pro. Literally asking how high when I asked her to jump! Big thanks to Jessica and Macy for giving up some of you Saturday to rock my lens!

![]() This summer Daniel and I decided to take a mini road trip to Hill Country for some cave adventures. Our first stop was Gorman Falls at the Colorado Bend State Park. It was an extremely hot three mile hike to the falls only to find out that the recent drought had dried up every last drop. Fortunately, hidden behind where the waterfall usually ran, there was a cave! It was such a welcomed relief from the hot July sun before our hike back. Next stop was Longhorn Caverns in Marble Falls. The guided tour took over an hour and a half and led us about a mile into the cave. Afterwards you can even purchase fossilized turtle poop! ![]() Next on our list was Enchanted Rock in Llano. By far our favorite sight on this trip. They say that the magnetism of this giant granite formation eases the soul and restores the spirit and I have to say we agree. It's a straight uphill climb if you take the summit trail. You climb over 400 feet in just under a half a mile. Doing this in the 100 degree weather should, by all logic, wear you out. Yet when you get the top and stop to enjoy the view, you find yourself breathing normally. We were immediately ready to keep going into the caves surrounding the rock. We spent three days here exploring the trails and we can't wait to go back. After the enchanted portion of our vacation we headed out to Jacob's Well in Wimberley. This cave has long been filled with water creating a gorgeous and chillingly cold swimming hole. I would love to strap on some scuba gear and explore! On the way back into town from Jacob's Well was an endearing little family farm store. Inside was flowers, cokes, and handmade cheeses. Along with this signing instructing visitors to please respect the honor system and pay for what you take. I love knowing there are people who still trust strangers to do the right thing. Last but not least was Hamilton Pool in Spicewood. Due to the drought this beautiful location was off limits beyond the perimeter walkways. I would have loved to see the waterfall when it's fully flowing though. Guess we will just have to go on vacation again soon!! |
