A season's beginning...

I've officially purchased the camera I have been saving up for and I couldn't be more delighted with its performance! Full frame is absolute HEAVEN! Below is the first set I ever shot with it featuring my beautiful beautiful best friend Meredith C Powell. Styling & Photography by me, duh! 

In other news, I haven't posted on here since February so here's the rundown of what has been going on! 

Victoria Moronta and I started a lifestyle blog in May called Victrix Valley and it is here where we have been posting all of our recent collaborations! Some of the bigger ones being Pura Vida Bracelets, Hello Hair, & Skinny Me Tea. 

I have officially transferred from FSU to Flagler College and have moved to St Augustine, FL. I'm super stoked to be living in this glorious town! God has been guiding me through the entire process and things couldn't have worked out better. I'm so excited to start the semester and to make some positive lifestyle changes! 

till next time,

Sunshine & Citrus

Orbs of Autumnal beauty, breathed to light

From blooms of May,

Rounded between the touch of lengthening night

And lessening day,

Flushed with the Summer fulness that the Spring

(Fair seer!) foretold,

The circle of three seasons compassing

In spheres of gold.

Model, styling, & retouching by: Tori Ray 

swimwear by: Peace of Paradise Creations 

Things I especially love right now:

Adventures, loyal friends, over-alls, leather, lipstick, high-waisted swimsuits, cat-eye sunglasses, Florida's warm winters, & American Flags! [and pizza, always pizza] 

Horray for this extra patriotic photo-shoot and this rare occurrence of me modeling. 

Thank you POPC for my beautiful hand-made swimsuit!

ps: Orange Groves may be pretty, but they smell like rotting citrus & here's an outtake Heather dared me to post of my "Little Mermaid on the rock" pose. For your viewing pleasure.
