Sister Twinning

Since I'm going away to school in a week, I needed updated sister photos!

There might be a good nine years in between us, but Amelia is such a great friend and we are super close. Maybe because our personalities are almost identical! But I'm going to miss this little rascal after I leave for college.

The Long Weekend

These people are my creative pack. We all met the first year of college and ended up having almost every class together as photography students. In these photos you can only find Matt, Shannon and one shot of Kim, because Sean and Brooke couldn't make it which was really unfortunate. But it was still a really good time regardless of everything that happened.
There were more shots, but the photos did not stand up to quality needs for the blog. But we did ALOT this past weekend: paddle boarding, sun bathing, beer fest, gables, grand bend tours, photo shoots and lots of driving.
I'm glad we were able to see each other at least once this summer and I can't wait to see these people everyday when school starts again this year!
Anyways, here's my long weekend through polaroid photos!

DIY // Flower Crown

Materials:

Fake flowers
Thread
Needle
Ribbon

To figure out how many flowers you will need, put the ribbon around your head and mark where you would like the flowers to begin and end. Then lay the ribbon down and place the flowers on top and spread them the way you would like.

With your needle and thread, sew the flower to the ribbon. I have a type of circular ribbon, almost like a rope. This was great because there was a texture to it where the needle went through the individual openings.

It's actually that simple and straight forward!

Since I only had this one shot with me and the crown on, I decided to include an image from a photo shoot I had and used it as a prop. Just so you have a better idea of what the flower crown actually looked like.

Boler Mountain - Tree Top Walk

This week my parents took my sister and I (and the boyfriends) to Boler Mountain for some tree top walking. We went through the beginner course. No problem. Then through the intermediate course. That was fine. Then came the advanced course. It was all great, until all of a sudden there were some crazy rope walls and I have absolutely no upper body strength. So you guessed it, my arms were super sore after that one. But all in all, it was a lot of fun to spend the afternoon outdoors trying something new!
