Hey, hey, heyyyyy! My name is Jessica (aka Wayfaring Wanderer) and I am a free-spirited photographer who loves working with couples, individuals, and families who are committed to travel, adventure, and laid-back lifestyles. I've lived in the Boone, NC area since 2005 and I'm known for capturing the spirit of the folks I photograph—the expressions, gestures, and details that are outward expressions of our innermost selves. While I'm primarily a wedding + elopement photographer, I also love working w/ individuals/couples/families that are traveling to the High Country area to getaway to the mountains. I absolutely love what I do and am so grateful to work with some of the most amazing people in one of the most beautiful places EVAR. Let’s go on an adventure!
While waiting for our table at Melanie’s on Sunday we came upon an ad for Grandfather Mountain announcing “Dollar Days”!!! This only means something to locals since it really only applies to us or those who work in the surrounding counties; to say the least we instantly knew what we were going to do with ourselves on a semi-gloomy Sunday afternoon. After eating a delicious breakfast at Melanie’s we made a quick stop back at the house so Cody could get some shoes fit for hiking. This visit was the first time we were actually able to hike one of the trails on Grandfather Mountain, which I was very excited about. Just so you know how awesome Dollar Days are at Grandfather I’ll tell you that when we first pulled up to the little ticket station the lady had us wait a moment, then very pleasantly said that’ll be $28 dollars, along with a $10 bill I handed her my id and she said oh, you’re locals, in that case it will be $2.00!!!! I mean that’s a deal otherwise we probably wouldn’t go to Grandfather as cheap as I am. The above photo is doctored up if you couldn’t tell, I didn’t spend time setting up the tripod or else I could have gotten some better exposed photos, I’m finding myself getting really comfortable with my new Corel Paintshop Pro software………….I even commented to Cody that I hope I don’t become a crappy photographer because of it. I did get some shots yesterday that I really like with only slight adjustments made to brightness and/or contrast…………..I’ll share more as the week continues.
