Sister Style: Ginger and Cayenne

Some weeks are made for jarring us out of our comfort zones, right? At least that's how this past week felt for me (Sarah). For one thing, I'm sitting here writing a Sister Style post. I've never done this before. Uncomfortable zone! Elsie and Emma asked me to write this post to share a little different perspective on something you are all pretty familiar with seeing: Sister Style. So here we are.

I really love getting to be a part of Sister Style every week. Sometimes we have a plan, and admittedly, sometimes we just drive around and pull over by pink dumpsters. Hah! We really try to wait for ideal light (we love the natural look), but ideal light doesn't always happen. So... it was a bright and sunny afternoon. Another uncomfortable zone for anyone who is a photographer! Bright light and harsh shadows? Run and hide! Hide your kids, hide your wife. We set out anyway to grab some juice and shoot at one of our local favorites, Mama Jean's. Even though the light was nuts, we made it work.

When we ordered our juices we somehow got talked into getting fresh shots of ginger with cayenne. I'm not the type of person who would be excited to try something new, but I have to say... I think we might be addicted to these now! They were incredibly strong but refreshing. I'm really glad we were encouraged to step out and order something seemingly insane. Usually the idea of drinking JUST ginger and cayenne would have probably made me totally shudder.

Emma's wearing: dress/H&M, belt/Target, shoes c/o Coclico (borrowed from Elsie) and sunnies/UO.

Well, guys, I made it through writing my first Sister Style post. Time to celebrate with a shot of ginger and cayenne? Maybe! xo. Sarah
