Being primarily a personal style blogger, I am always on the lookout for a cool new spot to shoot photos. Quite honestly, while in the car, captain or passenger, driving has never been the same for the past year or so. I must say, Ross and I have discovered some sweet spots that have become our "let's go here again today" for pictures. It's made life easier because we have figured out lighting, angles and gotten comfortable with our said "sweet spots".

When I first started my blog, all my photos were taken in the comfort of our backyard. It felt safe. I was at ease, didn't worry about people staring, making comments out their car windows or getting distracted by the passerbys. My, how times have changed.
Finally, after two years of this gig, I figured out that it's all good. I have learned to handle the anxiety of having my husband take my photos in public and drowning out the noise that surrounds us.
I have also realized that when I least expect it, I will discover a jewel of a spot that pairs perfectly with what I am wearing that very day and it all meshes together. I heard the blogging angels sing when we randomly passed this spot on Saturday. We dropped Logan off at a birthday party, headed to our normal "sweet spot" location to do some quick pics and cruised by this joint. And when I say joint, that's what it was, a beer joint. To this day, I think it might be my favorite place we have taken photos. It's quirky, unique, a little eclectic and it didn't hurt that it just so happened to compliment with what I was wearing.
Think about it. There are a multitude of surprising moments, places, things and opportunities that come our way just by driving by. Grab your keys, buckle up, put your hands on the wheel and go. You never know what you'll find.
I am also linking up today with my friend, Lauren with Fizz and Frosting. She started a Mix It Monday link up where you can see several ladies restyle one of their favorite pieces in several outfits. It's a GREAT place to find style inspiration.
