🌟📸EXCITING NEWS 📸🌟 2025 Photo Workshops just released! ➡️ (Link in bio) Stephanie Sheffield of Moments By Stephanie in collaboration with Riley Burgess of Lynxcrik Outdoors, is excited to announce two new landscape photography workshops in the coming months. OBX - MARCH 31 - APRIL 3 Based in Nags Head on the world famous Outer Banks of North Carolina, this workshop will be filled with seascapes, dunescapes, iconic lighthouses, sunrises and sunsets, fishing piers, marshes, and wonderfully dark skies at night. We will also have an opportunity to photograph the Milky Way if weather and conditions cooperate. BREVARD & BRP - JUNE 16 - 19 A second workshop from this duo will be based out of Brevard, North Carolina, an area well known for scenic drives, vistas, stunning waterfalls and streams, inspiring sunrises and sunsets. All of this is scattered throughout a land filled with character and charm along the river bottoms up to the heights of the ridges in some of the highest ranges of the Blue Ridge. 🌟 Space is limited - Secure your spot soon 🌟 Information about either, and both, of these workshop opportunities is available at https://www.momentsbystephanie.com/photoworkshops 📸🌟📸🌟📸🌟📸🌟📸🌟📸🌟📸🌟📸🌟📸 #momentsbystephanie #photographyworkshop #ncphotographers #ncphotoworkshop #obxstuff #nagshead #nagsheadnc #obxlife #obxphotography #obxphotos #northcarolina #coastalliving #explorenc #naturephotography #photoexpedition #newcamera #photographylovers #learningnewthings #obxworkshop #brevardnc #pisgahforest #brevardcounty #landofwaterfalls #waterfallworkshop #wncphotoworkshop #blueridgeparkway #blueridgeparkwaync #lookingglassfalls #waterfallsofnc #ncwaterfalls

We’ve arrived at another #waterfallwednesday 😍 Reminiscing over a trip to my absolute favorite waterfall of NC a few years ago. There’s something refreshing about seeing and hearing the water cascade of over the mossy rocks. It allows me to shut out the world and the worries on my mind and just take in the beauty that God has created. This waterfall, located near Brevard, NC, is a real treat but unfortunately it is on private land and has been closed to the public. It’s literally in someone’s backyard! I like to imagine that my home in heaven may have a waterfall nearby 💕 Falls located on Private Property (c) Stephanie Sheffield All Rights Reserved ✨Sharing is Appreciated ✨ #momentsbystephanie #eastatoefalls #eastatoe #rosmannc #landofwaterfalls #pisgahnationalforest #pisgahforest #visitnc #ncmoments #ncweekend #ourstatemag #carolinacountry #viewsofthesouth #waterfallsofinstagram #waterfallsofnc #waterfallsfordays #waterfallkeepersofnc #chasingwaterfalls #bestofthetarheelstate #bestoftheusa_water #northcarolinaliving #wncmagazine #outdoorliving #southernliving #explorenc #leavenotrace #discoverearth #discover_carolinas #waterfalllovers

Here’s another look at last night’s January “Wolf” Moon 🌙 I never intended to photograph the moonrise over the transmission towers but I’m learning to make the most out of my situations and think outside the box. Looking back, I can see this is a major milestone in my photography journey. Little steps = big progress. 😊 (c) Stephanie Sheffield All Rights Reserved Happy to Share! #momentsbystephanie #wolfmoon #wolfmoon2025 #fullmoon #neverstoplearning #moonphotography #moonphoto #moonpics #moonphotographer #ncphotographer #ourstate #ourstatemag #clevelandcounty #kingsmountain #makethemostofit #skylovers #skyphotography #shootthemoon #chasingthemoon #photographyskills #carolina #sky_perfection #skyphotography #goldenhourphotography #goldenhour #thinkoutsidethebox #blueridgemoments #ncweekend #qcexclusive

1st Full Moon of 2025 ….the January “Wolf” Moon 🌙 Found myself frustrated with the powerlines and struggled to get them out of my composition….but eventually we made friends 😊 Love how the top of the tower forms a big “W” (as in Wolf 😉) over the moon! Learn to make the most out of every moment you have!

“Sweet Sunset Memories “ One week ago, I watched as the sun set for the final time in 2024. For a few moments the sky above the old barn and grazing cattle was filled with vibrant colors and then just as quickly as they came, they were gone. Another year in the past, how quickly it was gone. I pondered to myself, what have I done for Christ, what have I done that will last? Though I often feel like I’ve been a failure I rest in the fact that I know my Jesus will see me through. I simply need to keep my mind stayed on him. I know many are looking forward into 2025 hoping and trusting for positive changes and maybe an easier road, but I know that this world has become a crazy and unstable place. Without my faith in Jesus, I would be lost and stumbling in the darkness, but I can truly say with revelation, 🎶 “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus” 🎶 If you don’t have that assurance, I invite you to not let another day pass without it. Call upon Jesus and place your trust in Him 🙏 (c) Stephanie Sheffield All Rights Reserved ✨Sharing is encouraged ✨ #momentsbystephanie #goodbye2024 #tissosweettotrustinjesus #oldhymns #trustinjesus #2024recap #finalsunset #yearinreview #southernliving #southernlife #discover_carolinas #carolinacountry #sunsetphotography #sunsetlovers #sunset_pics #farmlife #farmlifebestlife #makethemostofit #shareyourvision #dailyinspiration #farmhousedecor #cowphotography #oldbarnsofinstagram #oldbarnlove #shareyourfaith #outdoorphotography #bestofthepalmettostate #bestoftheglobe_farmlife #cloversc #farmersofinstagram
