Adventures In Film: Chapter 6 | Summer Memories

October 17, 2017/ Kailee Trippett

Good Morning, friends! Today's post is another installment of the Adventures in Film series! I recently uploaded a post with my new Canon Elan IIe + Portra 400 + TheFINDLab! Those portraits were DA BOMB. Like, I fell in love with film 100%. This roll was probably my first roll of Portra 400 out of the pack. It was also in the Olympus auto camera from one of the first Adventures In Film posts! I think the quality of Kodak's finest grain film really shows up here, even in a camera that could be seen as....a really bad camera. LOL. I don't mean to hurt your feelings, camera. *pats the Olympus*

1st Anniversary Vacation To The Smoky Mountains | Part 3

August 05, 2017/ Kailee Trippett

Welcome to the 3rd and possibly final installation of our anniversary trip to the mountains! There are a lot of extra photos of Elk and random fishing-in-the-river shots, but this post holds my favorites. For the last part of our trip, we stayed with Joshua's grandparents in their cozy camper by Deep Creek. They are backed up right against the perfect rushing creek that we went fishing in. It was my heaven! Except for the fact that when we went fishing in the river, I cast all of G-Pa's lures up into the lush foliage of the riverbanks since I'm used to fishing down here in wide-open Florida! LOL. And if it wasn't in the trees, it was stuck in the river rocks at the bottom. Looks like I'll be visiting more often to practice my casting skills! :D

1st Anniversary Vacation To The Smoky Mountains | Part 2

August 02, 2017/ Kailee Trippett

Our cabin we stayed in was tucked away on the side of a mountain that was rich with foliage and life. Everything was SO GREEN. We would wake up in the mornings to a delightful temperature of high 60's and even though we visited places where the temperature rose to the high eighties (and possibly even 90 degrees somewhere in there), it never felt humid or choking. Of course, it seemed to the locals that we brought a lot of rain with us from Florida. LOL. This is the very same cabin and town we spent our honeymoon in last year and it was a joy to come back to it again! It is officially our special place. Last time, it was our first time up there and there was so much to see and do in the Smoky Mountains. This time, we could enjoy the cabin and town a bit more since we had done so much last time. We woke up late, ate breakfast, moseyed around the cabin for a bit, then spent most of the afternoon and evening out and about. These are a few snapshots of around the cabin we love so much!
