Photo Friday – Balmy and Palmy

Last weekend, Chris and I took a quick trip to Florida so that I could see the new additions to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter within the Universal Studios theme park. I feel like we picked the hottest weekend of the year, and I was surprised that it was so warm in October! I thought it would be a little milder, but we had very sunny days all weekend with temperatures over 90 degrees. This photo was taken on our walk from the hotel to the park on a cloudless Sunday morning. (That’s not a dust speck toward the bottom – that’s the moon!) More photos from our Universal adventure soon!

Photo Friday – Good Gourds

Although my favorite season is definitely fall, the downside is that this time of year traditionally means the start of cold and flu season for most people. I’ve been very lucky to avoid the flu most years (I can’t remember having it since I was little – knock on wood), but I do tend to catch a bit of a cold once the school year starts. This year was one of those years and I was a bit under the weather the past few days, hence no post this past Monday. Oh, and in case it isn’t obvious, today’s found photo has to do with fall and not my germs. Happy fall!

Photo Friday – Passport Photos

One of the handiest things about being a photographer is being able to photograph your own passport photo. Well, okay – that doesn’t come up all that often, but I needed a new passport a few years ago so I set up a backdrop and took the photo myself. In the image below, I utilized a photobooth prop for a practice shot. Obviously I couldn’t submit this as a passport photo because it doesn’t meet the criteria – passport photos must be in full color!

Photo Friday – Happy Fall

My favorite season is here! Fall has always appealed to me for so many reasons – sweaters, boots, crisp cool air, everything apple, Halloween, football (I’m not a huge fan, but I love how much my dad and husband love it), and of course the leaves!

Photo Friday – Husband at the Harpa

I could have spent hours photographing the interior and exterior of the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik. I posted the vertical version of this image already, but I love both orientations and I also experimented with the saturation in this image. Plus the silhouette is of perhaps my most favorite subject so I can’t help but post the landscape version of this photo.
