The Sony RX100 III & My Girls’ Night Out in Chicago

A few weeks ago, I told you about my mission to find a compact camera.  While I love my Canon DSLR, I wanted a more convenient, lightweight camera to take with me on trips and outings.  As I mentioned in my earlier post, I ended up buying the Sony RX100 III and I’m so glad I did.  It is an awesome camera!

My new baby joined me on my trip to Chicago to see some of my dear college friends.  It was the perfect camera to tote around the city to capture our fun! While I still snapped a bunch of shots with my iPhone, I loved having the Sony RX100 III.  It was especially great for capturing images in low light and crisp video.

Anyway, the lovely ladies pictured below are women whom I met at the University of Illinois my Freshman year when we all pledged the same sorority.  When I joined Alpha Gamma Delta 29 years ago (gulp), I did so because I thought it would make a huge school feel that much smaller.  Who knew that I would end up meeting the most amazing, ambitious, and talented women who would turn out to be my life long friends?

While I do not get to see these women as often as I would like, whenever I do it is as if no time has passed between us.  We fall right into step with one another.

Our time together in Chicago was spent catching up on what’s been going on in our lives over the past year as well as reliving various antics from our college days.   We laughed non-stop….so much so that tears ran down my cheek (and almost leg).  🙂 I seriously, LOVE these gals.

As our trip came to an end, we decided that we would make a greater effort to get together more often.  Our goal is to meet up at least once each year and I truly hope we stick to that pledge….despite not doing the secret handshake or writing a song about it or adding it to our house bylaws.   🙂

I should be packing for our move…

But instead, I’m here having a blast at my latest branding shoot!

Swapping cardboard boxes for creativity feels like the right choice, don’t you think?

Packing can wait—this is way more fun.

I have big news to share……

We are moving at the end of the month! Eek! I’ve been quiet here on social media because the last month I have been busy with Goodwill runs, packing and planning! It is a lot of work to pack up a house you’ve lived in for nearly 21 years as a family of six! 😅

But we are trading the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley for country living in wine country. 🍷🍇

I’ll still be working with clients on branding photo shoots and social media management but it may look a little different.

My husband and I are super excited for this new chapter in our life. And our kids are enthusiastic too! I have a dear friend who has been with me along this journey and while I’m a little nervous about the move (but mostly excited), I keep hearing her words whispered in my ear….”if not now, then when?”

So here we go!!! 🍇🍷🍇🍷

✨ Follow Friday Spotlight! ✨

I finally had the chance to take headshots for the lovely Gloria Webb-Williams, founder of Ancient Stones Nurturing Naturals. (@nurturing2bnatural).🌿

Gloria is the heart and soul behind her beautiful brand that’s all about natural, mineral makeup. Her makeup enhances skin tone, giving a more youthful glow. The texture is super fine, so you can build it up for more coverage without it ever feeling heavy or cakey. Just smooth, even color that lets your natural beauty shine through. 🙌

It was such a treat to photograph her—she’s warm, inspiring, and absolutely glowing (inside and out 💫).

So please give her a follow and let her know Kristina sent you. 😊
