This series of photos features a lovely mug handcrafted by Karly of Karly Rae Ceramics (@karleyrae.ceramics). She is a ceramist based in Athens, Georgia, and this lovely grey & beige piece is my new favorite mug.
In addition to showing off the mug, I took this shoot as an opportunity to have some fun shooting something I love - coffee. Coffee culture has always fascinated me, and peaceful, cozy coffee shops are a part of who I am, so I intend to do more work involving coffee. Throughout my time in Athens, I was loyalist of Jittery Joes, a local chain that makes a great cup of joe (and was also my favorite place to edit and study any day of the week). A typical morning for me during the lockdown period of COVID, however, began with a batch of pourover coffee (with beans from Jittery) that I’d drink on my front porch.
