I have always been fascinated by photography. I have spent countless hours studying photographs of people, while considering the angles, the lighting, and the editing the photographer used. I love the fact that photography has the amazing ability to transport us to a different time, or place with one single shot.
It was not until I started blogging that I decided to take photography more seriously. With camera in hand, I started experimenting with photographs of my apartment, of friends, and family. It was after experimenting in this way that I realized my passion for photography. I have no formal training or background in this field, but I realize that passion can open your eyes to the impossible, so not only did I invest in the proper equipment I also spent the necessary time to learn everything I could to enhance the skill it takes to be proficient with this passion.
I enjoy, and appreciate the opportunity to photograph bloggers, couples, influencers who make an impact in their profession, families, and also lifestyle type setting. I take an individual approach to each person I photograph. I make every effort to embrace and highlight the focus of what they are trying to convey to their audience with each session.
I look forward to working together and capturing the potential magnificence of your moments through my eyes and the lens of my camera.
This weekend is my bachelorette party! I am so excited to have all my friends in one place again and make long overdue memories! If you follow me on Instagram, I apologize ahead of time for any weird pictures that might make there way to my profile. #itwasntme #marfagettinMARYed #merdog
I hope everyone has a very happy and safe weekend! If you will be celebrating the holiday, happy Good Friday and happy happy Easter!
* I teamed up with Nordstrom Bridal and was able to try on dozens of beautiful wedding dresses and shoes! So fun. Check out the pictures.
* I am in an uphill battle to decorate zee fiances house before our wedding. His family and friends will be flying into Dallas from Switzerland to see his home and different attractions around the city before the wedding so I want to make sure his house is in tip top shape. One of the first things I did was the entryway. It isn’t complete but I gave you a sneak peek! Check it out here.
Again, I hope you all have a very safe and happy holiday weekend! This is my first time celebrating the holiday away from family but I will be with this lovely lady, probably wearing this comfy sweater, so I can’t complain too much! xo
I enjoyed an amazing meal last night with two of my favorite people, my bestie Amanda and her momma. Over the conversation we began to talk about travel, our favorite places, and how we like to explore. Each of us agreed that it was best to “put down the map and get wonderfully lost.”
When my fiance and I traveled to Paris a few years ago he asked what I wanted to do? He likes to be organized and plan out the trip, where I like to do “as the locals do.” I told him, “I want to get lost.” I wanted to walk the streets, eat at a random cafe, and lay in the parks admiring the beautiful architecture. But that is how I like to travel and everyone is different. I agree that having an idea of places to go and things to do is great, but for one day out of the trip you must “get lost.” If you never put the map down, you never “see” the city.
With all of that being said, I am anxiously awaiting my next destination. I believe it will be the honeymoon but I am always down for a random, off the cuff, weekend. Any takers?! 🙂
I must apologize as I was slacking this week on posting. Brice and I got a puppy and she has been taking over my life. I am finally getting into the routine of handling her and blogging so next week I should be back to normal schedule.
Monday’s post showed a great outfit that will transition from day to night. See Transition.
I also started a new, Wednesday, series called, Loving Right Now, where I will post pictures of food, products, art, and so on. The sky is the limit. Check out the first addition here.
Yesterday was a post on my first outfit in San Francisco. I loved the city and can’t wait to share more pictures next week!
Also, if you want more M.A.S. be sure to check out Glitters Gold where I was featured. Emily asked some really fun questions so I hope you head over there!
Lastly, after seeing these jeans on Sally of A Piece of Toast I am officially obsessed. They look so cute and I love how skinny they are! Did I mention they are under $25. STEAL! I am going to snag the Stone Blue and Sauerkraut for upcoming spring festivities. Perfect with high heels or ankle booties!
