JOY

Joy. It's that wonderful feeling when it's as if your body is buzzing from bottom to top, like you might even overflow, or combust, from the sensation inside you. It's one of those things in life you just chase after. It's the thing of memories. And it's nearly as amazing when you are able to capture this feeling. When I look back on this quick shoot we did as the summer winded down to an end, all I see is joy. Being in a place you love, with people you love and are comfortable around is what it's all about. Laughing at the little things, soaking up that sweet, sweet air, and maybe even running through a field, hand-in-hand. Just taking it all in. That is joy. 

Hideaway

Photography by Molly, Maggie, and Kelly Nash 

Here we are, finally getting around to posting some vacation photos. It's been weeks since we packed up our car and headed north to Door County, Wisconsin, but these pictures take us back. The air up there was so clear, and the nature surrounding us just seemed to much more saturated in color, so much more alive. Towards the end of our trip, we came upon this magical place hidden behind a thick forest that only our adventurous souls were dying to explore. Where the water met the earth, became the most beautiful coves and crevices we could ever find. There was no one around, nothing but the waves hitting the shoreline. Our time was short too, as we watched the sun fade from a brightly lit orb, to a watercolor painting across the sky. There was no better way to end our vacation than us three, together, in the most perfectly imperfect place ever. Our hideaway. 

 

Museum of Contemporary Art

Just a few days ago, when trying to think of a cool new place to take some pictures and have some fun, I found myself thinking back to high school...I was brought back to a field trip I took, maybe sophomore year. We went to the Museum of Contemporary Art, among other places, and I remembered it to be the coolest place ever. It still is. Molly, Sam and I explored the museum together and took in all of the incredible pieces it offered. Modern art is my favorite because I love how much you can interact with the pieces in an especially emotional way. Instead of a literal representation of something, modern art a lot of times seems to be more of an emotional expression. It's as if the artists' soul becomes the art. We found ourselves enamored with each section of the museum, taking it all in, and finding some nice places to take pictures too. Definitely a must-see in Saint Louis.
