This day was absolutely amazing. My best friend Gretchen and I finally had a DAY OFF together, so we decided to do it big with a day trip to Ocracoke, NC. We drove down to the Hatteras Ferry docks early in the day to get down to Ocracoke and the ferry ride was so cool! The workers saw us taking photos around with our cameras and asked if we wanted to meet the captain {who was a photographer} !! So we got to go all the way up to the "Restricted Area" to meet the captain...who then let us DRIVE the ferry! It was soooo cool!!! Once in Ocracoke, we went to Eduardo's Taco Stand....and let me just say, they were the best damn tacos I've ever had!!! We ate them underneath the Ocracoke Lighthouse & drove around the small town... ended up jumping in the ocean {which was freezing} and seeing the ponies too before getting back on the ferry! Then it was round two of hanging out with the captain and crew in the very top of the ferry! SUCH AN AWESOME DAY!!

This day was one for the books, for sure! Here's the black + white film photography from that day... taken by yours truly! | {Cover Photo: Gretchen wearing a suit by Sea + Yarn handmade crochet bikinis! Check out their Etsy shop here.}

Well I promised myself I wouldn't write a sappy blog post about finishing college and getting my degree...{BUT just wanted to throw it out there} that today was my final last day of college classes...and after my exams, I will obtain my degree in Marketing with a Minor in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.

I have been so fortunate to have so many amazing professors and being able to join the Cameron Executive Network with my mentor Bob Pious was one of the best things I could have invested in! Huge shout out to Courtney Johnson as well...as my photography professor, Courtney has taught me everything I know about film and has pushed me to even progress with color film photography and start a directed independent study with her. She is such a great human and wonderful photographer and I truly admire her. UNCW has so much to offer. Take advantage of your time in college because it will go by so fast.

UNCW is truly a beautiful campus and I am definitely going to miss it. Here are some of my photographs throughout my college career. Most are taken in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach with a few exceptions. From learning how to use a film camera to progressing with 35mm film and playing with color film photography... I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride and can't wait to see what the future post-grad life has in store for me!
