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!
I have found myself in a more sustainable state of mind lately, and it was that new train of thought which lead me to the theme of this giveaway. I’ve been contemplating the different ways I can seamlessly incorporate better choices into my daily life, which is where I thought you guys would come in handy – more ideas! Not all changes have to be life altering to have an impact, every little bit helps, and I bet that you all are just chock full of ideas that I have yet to fathom.
That being said, here’s what you could win:
Reusable (Earthfare) Shopping Tote bag
Tree Free Photo Frame
Living Green a Practical Guide to Simple Sustainability
{THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED}

5 Things I do that I consider to be ec0-friendly: – I filter my own water and refill a reusable bottle to eliminate my water bottle waste. -We have replaced all of our bulbs with CFL’s (compact florescent bulbs). -Reduce water usage by taking no more than 3 showers a week (it’s not really a sacrifice for me). -Of course we recycle paper, plastic (#1 & 2), and glass. -I hang dry the majority of my clothes to cut back on energy used by the dryer. It also keeps them intact longer.
5 Things I don’t do, but could easily start doing:
-Composting. The bulk of our trash (which consists of very little – 1 bag every two weeks) comes from organic waste, which could be reduced even further by composting. -Take one of our own containers to restaurants for left overs instead of their disposable option. -Get our toilet leak fixed. -Find better alternatives to household cleaning chemicals. -Reduce plastic waste even further, by buying less items that come in containers.
