a little film about my life in charleston.


(videos taken with my new beloved flipcam provided by Kia Soul)

I made this little film about my life in Charleston for Kia's Show Your Soul blogger integration series.* I think the sunset walks, afternoons at Cupcake, skype dance parties and pretty streets of Charleston perfectly capture my content, happy spirit as of late.


*Check out top two contestants in the Kia Soul's "Who's Next" contest here.
P.S. In lieu of little films, here is the third Pedal for Prevention video. How insane are the landscapes & wildlife?

I love your little videos. I have been trying to take little clips of Savannah more, sometimes pictures are just too still, especially with the breezes in the trees and on the water. And you look so lovely as always!

Lesley said...

Laura Marie said...

Oh my gosh I adore this! Your little films are just the best :) I think Charleston should hire you for their tourism bureau... just saying.

I love it! Makes me want to go to Charleston RIGHT now.

Meg said...

beautiful!! i swear, the city of Charleston should pay you to promote tourism!

LouBoo said...

This is just so cool - love the music - the XX my new fave and that song in particular! Your home looks just wonderful - and the way you iced those cupcakes - my goodness! AWESOME! I like the 5/6 birds that skim over the water too; very poetic. Makes me want to go to sunny, hazy Charleston which feels like a million miles away from rural England. Really enjoyed it - honestly.
