I'm often within reach of some sort of camera. I usually take advantage of that. I usually document. Sometimes I don't, because there are certain things that cameras just can't do justice. I find this to be true at the lake, especially, but that doesn't stop me from trying every now and again. These mostly failed attempts hold a special place in my heart.

I use iMovie to make my videos. :)
Deletethis is beautiful. thanks for sharing a piece of your life with us, abbey. it looks pretty splendid. & I love that song, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are some beautiful photos. And if a company who did videography saw your video, they'd probably hire you. You're so crazy creative and talented that it blows my mind.
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful, Abbey. Looks like you definitely had a wonderful time. And the video? Goodness it's fantastic. XO. Megan

ReplyDeletewow, i want to go to there! so dreamy...
ReplyDeleteOh, I wanna go there!! Makes me feel happy to look at these pictures and watch the video :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I am not within reach of a camera. I am unable to document so I tell myself to just enjoy and allow it to be but a daze of a memory. At times, those are the memories I remember most vividly.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are gorgeous! Especially love the second and fifth shots!
ReplyDeleteAnd the video- beautiful.
I agree that sometimes the camera doesn't do justice or breaks up the flow of the activity, but I sure am glad that you chose to capture these. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteawww, this was perfect!! i love love love it! videos are fun, huh? my mom just got a macbook so i make a video with iMovie today! so fun!
