Nashville Adventures:)
So recently I was invited to road-trip down to Nashville to shoot photos for a friend's long boarding company. Craving adventure, I said yes and two weeks later sat down in a car with three people I had never met in person to road trip down to Nashville for a few days. I know what you're thinking: crazy. Haha crazy that I would get in a car of strangers. Honestly, I'm thinking the same thing, but I'm so glad I did it. Leading up to the roadtrip I was so nervous to spend so much time with people I've never hung out with, in such close quarters. I wondered what will they think of me? What if we don't vibe? What if they think I'm annoying or just plain weird? But I sucked it up and decided I'll do me and if they don't like it... well then they don't like it haha. To be honest, there's nothing I can do to control other peoples expectations of me, or other peoples views of me, I can only control my expectations of me- which more often then not are way to high with no room for grace... But that's where God''s grace always meets me... but anyways haha. no worries- that's for another post;)
Soo here's a little taste of our Nashville adventures:)

// All caffiened-up, we moved on to to more shooting:)
// After that, we went to a yummy sandwich shop:)
Side note: I love that every place we went to eat offered gluten-free options!! It was refreshing not to have to miss out of yummy food due to dietary restrictions:)
// And next is, surprise surprise! more shooting:) this was one of my favourite moments in Nashville, we went to an abandoned airfield, and just rode our boards around, and it was beautiful outside and we just took a moment to hang out and just be:)
// to finish the day we drove into the city, walked the strip, ate yummy burgers and headed back to the hotel:)
So there it is!! My road trip to Nashville in a nutshell... short and sweet:) sorry about the lack of photos! haha I promise to be better at taking photos on my next trip:)
On our way home we stopped into one of Steve's friend's home for brunch and her home was absolutely beautiful! I wont post it for privacy reasons but just imagine this color / decor palette: white walls, wooden furniture, and plants <3 <3 it was everything I want my home to look like haha but here's a little peak at the brunch set up and the yummy things:)(i couldn't eat the rolls:( but they're just so pretty to look at:))
Like I said earlier, I'm so glad and honoured that I got to come on this trip!! I honestly couldn't imagine Nashville without these incredible people. I only met them for the first time in the beginning of our crazy road trip, but over the course of two days we became family. Love them more than I understand and can't wait for more crazy fun times with these hooligans.
