Photo Session // Shelly

As some of you may know, I purchased a Nikon D3400 for my birthday. I have been snapping pictures and doing little "photoshoots" with my sister lately. I love testing out different settings and seeing how my photos turn out. 

Today, I will be sharing some pictures I got from our latest photoshoot :) 

Also, make sure you check out my sister, Shelly's blog!! She will have all the information about her outfit and some other comments over there. So make sure you go check that out. 

I am totally in love with the way these pictures came out. I love Shelly's outfit and the gorgeous green trees!! 

I am hoping to start posting more like this and make parts of my blog a sort of "Digital Portfolio" to show you guys my photographs and give you some inspiration, too.

So, I hope you guys enjoyed this post. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

xoxo, Lily 

Summer Essentials Series // Flowy Pants

 So, in honor of the best season ever, I decided to start a series called "Summer Essentials." This will include clothing, beauty supplies, and maybe even food. I am excited to try it out. Let me know what you think. 

To start it off, I will be sharing the glorious idea of FLOWY PANTS. 

If you are unfamiliar with this concept, this is any pant that is, well, flowy. Anything that fits like pajama pants is fair game. 

These are crucial for Summer! 

You can easily slip flowy pants on after a day at the beach or use them as a coverup. 

My white flowy pants are from Marshall's. They are literally to die for because they are not see through and are super lightweight. Also, they have the CUTEST white rope belt around them. 

And that is how excited I am about these pants! 

(They are also great for jumping, cartwheels, and handstands)

I hope you guys enjoyed!! 

I had fun taking pictures in these uber comfy pants. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

A Stormy Scene

This is not a beauty/fashion post, but I guess we could put this under a lifestyle category. So, here we go. 

For my birthday, I purchased an incredible DSLR with the help of a generous donation from my family. 

I am so excited to take pictures of all of the places I go and the people I see. 

The other day my sister and I were testing out some different modes and we went to the bay. It was getting a little stormy so the waves were rough, which made for some beautiful pictures mixed with the cloudy, gray sky. 

Here are a few of the shots I got. 

I also took some pictures of my sister for her blog, which you can go check out here!

I am so excited to start posting more with some gorgeous pics off of my new camera. 

If you guys have any tips or tricks related to DSLRs please let me know. 

Thank you so much for stopping by. 

xoxo, Lily :)
