Here’s a little piece of what July looked like from the water!

Salty mornings before work. New faces in the lineup, familiar ones too. More time floating than checking the forecast. A month that reminded me of why I carry my camera into the ocean in the first place🌊

Praying that August is just as kind to us!

Came across a few rolls of Kodak Gold that had been sitting around since sometime in the ‘90s, and honestly had no idea what I’d get back when I loaded one up😅

Turns out, time was pretty kind to it!

A few of these frames ended up being some of my favorites. Little moments with good friends, passion project, long days in and out of the water, and the kind of summer that reminds you why you chose to live here.

Feeling incredibly grateful to call the Outer Banks, and the people in these photos, home🤍

Slow mornings in the Atlantic🌊

I’ve got so many more moments from this day to share😄 Summer has been full in the best way! Editing, culling, delivering galleries, and spending as much time in the water as I can.

I haven’t had much time to dig back through photos to post, but there’s so much waiting to be shared, and I’m excited to finally start showing it all🤍

Still thinking about this morning with Meredith🌞 The glow, the waves, and everything in between! One of my favorite sessions this summer🫶🏼

Chasing light more than waves lately. I’ve been falling in love with mornings in the ocean this summer🌞
