We’ve had multiple birthdays, day-trips, and holidays since I made my resolution to start taking more candid photos (you can read my post about that here), and so far, I’ve been successful in capturing the year.

A big thank you to the boy from Bumble who introduced me to Caamp’s music, because for the past year I’ve simply been making this my personality.
