You can always go, Downtown


apricot studios
Meet Rachel of Apricot Studios. This girl is an amazing photographer. Amazing. She’s also the girl who encouraged me to buy a camera and learn photography. I’ve bugged her multiple times with questions and she’s always so kind to answer and encourage me.
 
We thought it would be fun to have a little girls day out to play around with some photography. This was my first time shooting outside so I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the settings. But when you’re shooting 3 pretty girls, you’re bound to get some good pictures. 
 
We went to a few of the rundown areas Downtown and Rachel shared some of her knowledge with me, Maggi, and Mayci!)

I had so so so much fun yesterday! I’m thankful that Rachel was so helpful to us girls in our “photography club” as we snapped away all afternoon.
 
Love these 3 girls! So classy and gorgeous 😉

All you need is Love


Last week was a busy one.

Mayci took our family pictures. I only have a few on my phone, but here are some of my favorites.

She did a great job–even though she had to work with 4 children (3 of them would have rather been doing other things.)
Wednesday-Thursday was the Chick-fil-a opening in Sunset Hills. Molli was so very kind to offer to watch the kids so I could go. There ended up being about 27 Rockport members there in the freezing temperatures. (When we got there it was about 18 degrees) During the day it got up in the 40s, so it wasn’t bad. I don’t think I even got cold until right before bed.

Fox 2 hung out with us all morning, interviewing multiple people in our group (me included.) I have no clue if my interview even aired. But here’s Mayci, doing her live interview.

On Saturday, Maggi and Stef took me to see Rain: A Tribute to The Beatles at The Fox Theatre. It was fantastic! They sounded just like the Beatles and did all the same costume changes.

Let’s just pretend that this picture was taken many, many years ago with John Lennon.

We finished out the night by going to Baileys Range.

It was such a fun night! Thank you Maggi and Stef for such a fun time and the best company!
