I've finally decorated the storefront of the #studio! I haven't been diligent in keeping the windows decorate because the sun does a number on fading whatever I put out... But it really needed a splash of color and a little bit of TLC. Now I need to start cracking on what I'll put up next.... Hope to see you at the #HamAndYam festival tomorrow in #DowntownSmithfield, #NC!! @downtownsmithfield ❤️ #SimplyBlissStudio #LaurenBeasleyPhotography #VisitJOCO #photographystudio #photographer #capturinglife #makeportraits #havecamerawilltravel #JohnstonCountyNC #shopsmallnc #smallbusinessnc #shoplocal #shoplocalnc #ShopSmall #ilovewhatido #capturingchildhood #photographylife (at Simply Bliss Studio)

2 big events tmr in #DowntownSmithfield: Champions 5k & the #HamAndYam festival! I will be at the #5K in the morning and the #festival in the afternoon. More info posted on fb, see my website in the bio. I will have a limited amount of coupons on me (that don't normally see the light of day), but you have to say you saw it on social media. Be sure to ask as I will not be freely passing them out. Only for my awesome fans! Please come by #SimplyBlissStudio and check it out! I will be in and out, enjoying the festival, but I have crazy red/pink hair you can't miss. ❤️ #visitJOCO #JohnstonCountyNC #shopsmallnc #shoplocalnc #funrun #dogs #furryfriend #ruff #Smithfield #NC #NorthCarolina #makeportraits #bnw #blackandwhite #photographer #photographystudio #johnstonCo #capturinglife (at Historic Downtown Smithfield, NC)

I love being a #WeddingPhotographer!! And in doing so, often times, I wear many different hats: seamstress, boutonnière pinner, dress fluffer, and sometimes the ironer of the grooms shirt. 🙂 I'm a #photographer with several different #talents. 😎 #WhateverITtakes #dowork #capturinglife #MakePortraits #fun #weddingday #groom #NorthCarolina #NC #SimplyBlissStudio #DowntownSmithfield #visitJOCO #photographystudio #havecamerawilltravel #smile #ilovewhatido #iphone #inthemoment #BehindTheScenes #outtake #wedding (at Summerfield Farms)

I can relate to Eeyore. Random, yes? Well, Maci's book of choice for the next, well - however many nights it takes to finish the books - is "Winnie the Pooh". We're on the second book. There's quite some life lessons in the children's book. Maybe I'm reading between the lines... Back to Eeyore... I have a habit of retreating to my "corner of the woods", like Eeyore. It's comfortable... easy.
