 The Carolina Cup took place yesterday Saturday, May 22, 2021. It was definitely a hot one! The cup is usually the last Saturday of March, or the first Saturday in April. But due to covid, this year it was pushed back to May. It was sponsored by The Mullikin Law Firm this year. The Carolina Cup is one of the biggest steeple horse race events on the east coast. It puts little old Camden, South Carolina on the map.  Over the course of its 80+year history, it has hosted over a million visitors at the Springdale Race Track. People from near and far travel to meet up with family and friends to attend yearly. I've seen some even host their family reunions and class reunions there as well.

  Social Media makes taking pictures look so easy. It’s definitely not just showing up, taking a pic, and being done. It’s a complete process. There’s actually a lot of work and planning that goes into putting a shoot together. This past weekend I had a photo shoot downtown, Camden SC. Today I want to share a behind the scenes look at what actually goes into a blogger photo shoot session.   Step 1: Planning Your Outfits (1-2 hours) For a typical shoot I will usually shoot 3-5 outfits. A few days before my photo shoot, I start prep by pulling all my outfits from my wardrobe needed for the shoot, along with my shoes, bags, and accessories. The day before my shoot is my try on session. It's a must to see how the look comes together, while practicing my pose for each fit.  Time: T he time planning your outfits will vary, depending on what type of look you are trying to achieve.  Tip for planning your outfits:  Pick out the key pieces in your wardrobe, and build your look off of that.
