29 and 12 Months, The Smokey Mountain Trip

Erik and his twin brother Taylor just turned 30... or the way Erik would prefer me to say it "29 and 12 months". And how does one

Adventure Blog: Family Camping Trip at Table Rock Mountain | Lunalee Photography

Well, it's far too cold to go camping, or even walk to the mailbox for that matter, so here's a story about our last camping trip... :) This trip happened just after Robert graduated from Marine Boot Camp at Parris Island. Going camping was one of the things Robert really wanted to do on his time off, so I am really glad we got to make this trip happen. We arrived at Table Rock in North Carolina (Linville Gorge) just before sunset. We picked our campsite and set up in t

My Little Brother, The Marine | Lunalee Photography Blog

Let me be honest, when my little brother Robert decided to drop his college scholarship and join the Marines, I wasn't exactly thrilled. He's a super smart kid and loves a challenge whether it's in school or in life. I guess it shouldn't of been such a surprise that he decided to join. Now that it's all said and done, I must say I'm one proud sister. For me, the toughest part about Robert being away in boot camp for 3 months was the limited communication through only ha

Chattooga River Camping Trip | Lunalee Photography Blog

I'm calling this blog, "A Series Of Unfortunate Camping Events". Last weekend, Erik and I took my brother Robert (20), my sister Amelia (18) and our family dog Scarlett (8 in people years) camping on the Chattooga River near Burrell's Ford Campground close to Clemson, SC. With Robert shipping off to Paris Island the week after and with the annual reign of fire happening (aka summer in Georgia), a weekend by the river sounded like a perfect way to relax. We had been told th

My First Camping Trip | Lunalee Photography Blog

I have a confession (holds breath) ... I'VE NEVER GONE CAMPING BEFORE! Pheww... There, I said it. Glad I got that off my chest. Yep, I'm a 26-year-old-grown-woman who loves the outdoors and adventures, but had never gone camping before. I'm not really sure how that happened (or didn't happen), but I guess that's how it goes when you're raised by a single mother and your family didn't really go on vacations. It wasn't like I was the only one in my family that hadn't g

How He Asked - Our Engagement Story | Lunalee Photography Blog | Grandfather Mountain | Atlanta Wedd

"What's been the best day of your life?" is a question I randomly asked Erik a few weeks ago. To be honest, neither of us could pin-point any particular day. There were several contenders, but nothing that stood alone as an obvious answer. That all changed for the both of us last week... Saturday May 21st, 2016: This amazing weekend actually started on Thursday night. Erik and I got all dressed up and headed to Midtown Atlanta for dinner at RA Sushi and then to Cafe Int

Time with Family | Lunalee Photography Blog

Spending time with my siblings is one of the things that I cherish most in life. Even with the age gaps (10 years between myself and John) and all of us growing up, they have always been my favorite people to hang out with, laugh with, go on adventures with, do photoshoots and make little movies. I know this has a great deal to do with the environment in which we grew up not always being the best... even still, it definitely brought us closer together. I am now an adult

SkyView Atlanta Adventure | Lunalee Photography Blog

I don't know how you spend your Saturdays, but last Saturday Erik and I spent 5 hours at a parking garage. We were on another photography adventure in search of the perfect urban photoshoot location ... And we struck gold in the most unsuspecting parking garage! Talk about views. We're so psyched that we found this place and can't wait to use it for future engagement sessions. FIN #PhotographyAdventure

Arabia Mountain Adventure | Lunalee Photography Blog

Fact #47: I'm gonna say something here that most Southerners will agree with: Right about now, we'd much prefer the mosquito-infested blazing heat over this bitter cold. I guess that's what growing up in the south does to you. Side Note: The only exception to this is Christmas or the very rare moments when enough snow sticks to go sledding! Since moving to the Atlanta area, Erik and I have loved getting to know our new surrounding and going on little photography adventures

Full Moon Christmas | Lunalee Photography Blog

Home for the holidays - This year Erik and I made our way back to South Carolina to spend Christmas with our families. We enjoyed quality time filled with opening presents, watching Christmas movies, playing board games, eating way too much food (as one does), but Christmas night was especially fun. According to some random articles I saw on Facebook, this Christmas hosted a rare full moon. Apparently, a full moon on Christmas usually only happens every 19 years, but this tim

Piedmont Park Adventure | Lunalee Photography Blog

Fact #137 - Mine and Erik's favorite thing to do in the whole wide world is take pictures. There is nothing we'd rather do more, whether it's for a client or just for ourselves... it's always exciting to us! This week, Erik and I took advantage of the wonderful, 70-degree-December weather to have an impromptu photoshoot in Piedmont Park. We've both lived in Atlanta for 7 months now, but this was the first time we'd been to the park together and really explore all of it's aw
