Summer Magic::Dahlia Season

It’s dahlia season.

Dahlia Season

Dahlias are one of my very favorite things about late summer.

I love their big, showy blooms.

I also love how they range in color from pale, delicate pinks to bold, vibrant magentas and corals.

Since our vegetable garden sort of went bust earlier this year, I decided to co-op that part of the garden for my dahlias.

BEST. DECISION. EVER.

What I especially love about having my dahlias here is the way the morning light shines through the trees and creates such pretty light and tones in the background of my photos.

Pretty morning light = Magic.

As always, thank you for letting me share it with you.

Love, Kelly

P.S.

These glorious late summer tones were the inspiration behind my most recent Lightroom editing tutorial. If you would like to my start-to-finish editing process, I have posted it to my youtube channel.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
