I absolutely LOVE Instagram! Not only for sharing my own photos and behind-the-scenes parts of my life, but also to be inspired by other amazing creatives. In honor of The Rising Tide Society’s week of Instagram challenges, I thought I’d share my favorite Instagrammers that make me smile and inspire me on a daily basis. From art to home decor, these great people and companies bring joy to my feed every day.
Photography – @marymarantz
Ahhh! This one is so tough!! Out of the almost 900 accounts I follow, at least half of them are photographers. It’s almost impossible for me to narrow this one down but I tried. I absolutely LOVE Mary Marantz! Not only is her work stunning but her posts to help keep photographers going is so wonderful and uplifting.

Lifestyle – @laurenconrad
I have been a fan of Lauren Conrad since her days on Laguna Beach. Now I’m obsessed with her Instagram account, enjoying all her wonderful photos of her dogs, her clothing collection, and all her beauty tips.

Home Decor – @homepolish
This account is perfect for the interior designer at heart. Decorating and filling my home with beautiful items is such a fun past time. I get so much of my inspiration from Home Polish. It’s full of beautiful, affordable interior design ideas. The only problem with following this account is that you’ll want to constantly be changing your home.

Art – @wildfieldpaperco
Drawing and painting have always been hobbies I enjoyed, but never anything I was incredibly talented at. I greatly appreciate anyone that can take a blank piece of paper and create something beautiful on it. That’s why I love WildField Paper Co.! The beautiful flowers and calligraphy pieces Annie creates takes my breath away.

Health & Fitness – @happyyogatv
Learning and practicing yoga with the wonderful Sarah Starr is such a treat. Every class I’ve ever had with her was an absolute delight. I love continuing to follow her and all her positive life messages on Instagram. She is truly a bright light in this world!

Clothing & Jewelry – @greydogboutique
Thrifting and vintage clothing goes hand in hand. So when I was searching for vintage items and clothing, I stumbled across Grey Dog Boutique’s account. Their clothes are lovely! When I realized I could order their stunning one-of-a-kind pieces, I was elated! I love seeing all the cute clothes they find and how they pair outfits together. Sometimes, I have to hold myself back from ordering everything they have.

Weddings – @smpweddings
As a wedding photographer, I swoon over all those pretty wedding blogs and follow them on Instagram. The photography and details are stunning! Style Me Pretty is definitely my favorite one to check out. They are posting new and elegant wedding photos almost hourly and I usually end up liking each and every one!

Food & Baked Goods – @ericaobriencake
Erica’s cakes and desserts are GORGEOUS! Half the time when I see her cakes, I’m torn between wanting to eat them and just staring at them in awe. She truly has a gift and I love to see all her new creations.

Girl Boss / Entrepreneurs – @jennakutcher
When she’s not sharing beautiful images from weddings she’s photographed, she’s posting fun and witty pieces that not only make you smile but also motivate you to be a better business owner/girl boss. Her posts are so great and relatable, you feel like you are going through what she goes through. Plus, she is all about sharing her knowledge of owning a business with anyone that would like to learn!

Other – @cats_of_instagram
Ok, so my guilty pleasure is following cats on Instagram. My all time favorite one to follow is Cats of Instagram. If I’m ever having a bad day, I just go to their account and stare at the adorable kitties!
