2.52 | Rule of Thirds
As the blogger and photographer behind Living Outside the Stacks, I independently select and write about stuff I love and things I think you’ll enjoy too. Living Outside the Stacks has affiliate and advertising partnerships so I get revenue from sharing this content and from your purchase. Thank you for your support. PHOTO INFO Nikon D850 10mm 1/100 | F 4.5 | ISO 2500 I edited this image in Lightroom using a preset from Wilde Presets called Matte Film 1. This is a new preset for me, so I’m still trying to get the hang of it. I like the dark moody feel to the image, but I need to…

1.52 | Self Portrait
Hey! How’s 2022 treating you so far? This first week has been off to a rocky start for me. My family has had to deal with a couple of non-COVID related medical issues. And, I’m not gonna lie, it has been overwhelming. However, things are smoothing out so maybe 2022 will get better? Do you make resolutions? I don’t. I used to do so but then I’d get frustrated when I failed to meet my goals. That’s why I no longer write blog goals. Life is stressful enough without adding to the internal drama. This year is all about eliminating any and everything that doesn’t bring me joy. PHOTO INFO…

My Photography Project: Christmas Mini
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. – Burton Hills CHRISTMAS CARD READY I wasn’t sure what to expect when I was asked to meet this sweet family at Grant Christmas Tree Farm for our Christmas Mini. The skies were overcast and the weather a bit chilly, in fact, the girls were shivering but you can barely tell from the images. They were such pros. The oldest one even offered posing suggestions, which I happily accepted. A FEW MORE FAVES Have a Very Merry Christmas! Happy Snapping, Follow Living…

My Photography Project: Mommy and Son Photo Shoot
“She loved a boy very, very much — even more than she loved herself.” – Shel Silverstein MOMMY AND SON Toddlers are fun. And they do what they want. I learned that very quickly with this shoot. I’ve never done a styled shoot with a little before, so I went in thinking I could direct and pose. Nope. After I relaxed and decided to follow his lead, we were able to capture some really beautiful images that captured the connection between him and his mom. He told us he was going to Target after we finished to get a drink. This kid knows how to de-stress. …

My Photography Project: Birthday Shoot
“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.” — John Lennon THE BIRTHDAY SHOOT My coworker and I have been trying to arrange a photo shoot for a little over a year. This past Friday, it finally happened. We decided to set the shoot for 8 AM and, y’all, it was so hot. But Netartia kept her cool and we were able to get some amazing shots. I hope you enjoyed your day, My Friend! Happy Snapping, LET’S CONNECT Follow Living Outside the Stacks on Bloglovin’!

My Photography Project: The Graduate
THE GRADUATE I met Nakia my first day on the job as the new librarian at the college. She came in with a group of practical nursing students and they were trying to print their handouts before the start of classes. She looked at me and asked “Are you our new librarian?” I told her I was and she said she was happy I was there because the school had been without a librarian for a while. From that point on, every time I saw her, she would yell: “Hey, Ms. Dani!” When she asked me if I’d take her graduation pictures I teared up and told her I would……

Mother’s Day Photo Dump: Arkansas
Y’all, I got to spend Mother’s Day with my daughter, her boyfriend, and her pups, and I couldn’t have been happier. They treated me like a queen — homemade cinnamon rolls and mimosas for breakfast, shrimp and grits for dinner, and a photo walk… It was relaxing, therapeutic, enlightening, and everything in between. Whenever I travel, I like to take pictures of the public library. The buildings are almost always quite interesting architecturally and the light tends to be beautiful. However, the Argenta Branch of the William F. Laman Public Library was closed… Maybe next time. There’s always a bar called “The Library.”…

365 Project: April 2021
And that’s a wrap on another month of pictures… I feel like I did more than drink coffee in April… Let’s see, I finally finished The Street. It was a long book but a good one. So much of Ann Petry’s words are still relevant today. I’ll write a review in the near future. The Hubs and I took a concealed carry course and are now qualified/licensed to conceal carry. I took some graduation pictures for my coworker’s daughter, you can see one of my favorites here. What was the highlight of your month? Happy Snapping, LET’S CONNECT Follow Living Outside the…

My Photography Project: The Power Suit
Nikon D850 + 50mm | ISO 1000, 1/2500, f/4.5 The people who make you smile from just seeing them, those are my favorite people. – Koi Fresco This is an image from a photo shoot that I did for a coworker. The whole time we were together, we could not stop laughing. I think that’s part of the reason these images came out so beautifully. I mean, Mrs. Liz is beautiful but her smile and her confidence are palpable. And I feel like I was able to capture that and so much more. Whenever I’m preparing for a shoot, one of the first things I do is find out the…

365 Project: March 2021
And that’s a wrap on another month of pictures… The Hubs and I celebrated 26 years this month. Our celebrations were low-key. We’ve never been one of those go all out and celebrate one day kind of couples because, well, every day demands a bit of pomp and circumstance, don’t you think? My sister and I flipped the page to chapter 48. I can’t believe we’re 48. There are times when I feel like a kid playing dress up, I almost never feel like a full-fledged adult with my crap together. I hugged my parents courtesy of God’s grace and hardworking scientists. My mom has been ill for the last…
