Sophisticated.

I love these beads. and how they almost have a glow to them. especially in this picture.

living the everyday

Hello Friends,

Lately I've had a lack of inspiration. And a lack of computer. Which equals a lack of posts lately. My computer, Priscilla, just "broke" one day. All the sudden. I took it into Apple, only to be told they don't work on G4s, they consider them "vintage" (which amused me somehow). The guy working there did look at it though and told me he thought it was probably the motherboard and that it would probably be better to buy a new computer at that rate. I was sad. Very sad, and took my computer home, placed it at the back of my closet, and... the end. No money to fix it, nor to buy a new one. Well, yesterday my dad randomly said "lemme take a look at your laptop". He examined it. Didn't find anything. He asked for the cord. I assured him it wouldn't come on. It was completely dead. Well, he plugged it in, pushed the power button, and VOILA. What do you know? It came on. And I'm still wondering what in the world happened? So very strange. Albeit, I'm just extremely happy to have my precious "Priscilla" laptop back.

As for lack of inspiration, that's coming back too, I think. Sometimes you just have to make yourself shoot, even when you feel the most un-inspired of un-inspired. So the other day I pulled out my camera and snapped some of these totally random, everyday pieces of my life. I hope you enjoy them.

A comb and bobby pins that were laying on my bathroom counter. I found them interesting, just strewn around in their random order, so I took a photo.

I love the simplicity of this photo. And the monkey, who's name is Timothy. He's a nightlight monkey that a dear friend of mine gave to me this past Christmas. I think he's adorable.

Our two {of four} dogs, Muffie and Guissppi. Guissppi is the one running, Muffie is the one staring into space.

Random, quirky photo... it's kind of goofy, but I like it. I love the light pouring in... And my owl shirt. :)

In closing... what do you guys do when you feel thirsty for inspiration? When everything starts to look the same? Sometimes I try to take photos that I believe others will like, and then I have to stop myself and remember I need to firstly take photos that I like. It doesn't matter what others think. And when I do that, they almost always come out better anyway.


Thanks for looking <3

baby birds

a few weeks ago I realized planted in a wheelbarrow outside that there was a little nest. nestled in were multiple little baby birds. can you say utter cuteness? yes. they were really cute. whenever I'd take a picture of them they'd squeal and squeal. so presh. I think they thought my camera was their mommy.

a photo shoot with emily.

saturday before last I had a photo shoot with my friend emily. my inspiration for her was to make her as a bird. not as in, oh wow, she looks like a bird, but more like subtle bird influences in her over-all costume. and, I love how it came out.

I hope you guys have as much fun looking at these as we had taking them... <3 

during the course of the photo shoot I the bright idea to go out on the street and wave at oncoming cars, and, not only would it be hilar, but I could get a one-of-a-kind picture. albeit it probably wasn't the safest idea ("did you hear what he just yelled out?" "uh, no, I don't think I want to" *ahem*) I think it turned out pretty cool {although I do wish the car was in closer range}.

anndddd this is just a cute outtake that I wanted to post. :)


yes, so, that is all... I hope you guys have enjoyed them! I had a lot of fun with these photos. as always (always always) I'd love to hear your thoughts on them, and which ones are your favourties.


thanks so much for looking. <3

blackberries and rain boots

I love picking black berries. always have, ever since I was little. there's something just so cool about being able to go outside and pick something that you can actually eat. we have a huge black berry patch in our yard, and all the black berries are just starting to come in. it's wonderful. :)

whenever I go to pick some I have to make sure to put on my {rawther fabu} plaid rain boots... snakes! I actually saw one recently while picking the black berries. scared me so bad. yes. so. rain boots are good. plus I just feel so profesh in them. like a professional country girl or something. hehe.

aren't the berries beautiful? lately I've been putting them in smoothies. yum.

I'm still trying to get my bedroom together... get it decorated. I just have so many ideas, it's hard for me to get them all together. but I'm working on it. and when I do get it all together I can't wait to post pictures. :)

thanks so much for looking. thanks so much for the sweet comments you guys leave. <3

elizabeth

hello friends,

here I have some photos from a {mini} photo shoot I did with a friend, elizabeth {so she's actually more my older sister's friend, but all the same}. elizabeth is from virginia. she was here visiting a few days before heading on a mission trip to honduras.
I got home from ballet one evening and she wanted to do a quick photo shoot before dinner. so I grabbed my camera and headed outside {in my tights, skirt, and leotard. yes, quite the professional photographer;) }. it was a nice shoot, albeit the light was fading which was frustrating. I think the photos could've been better, but all well. that's just how it goes sometimes.

so here are the photos. enjoy. :-)

as usual, I'd enjoy hearing your thoughts on these. hope everyone had a fabulous easter. <3

hello country life

well I am very excited to be putting up a new, "normal" blog post. it's been far too long. I've finally found my computer cord (last night. I was one happy girl). internet is working (at the moment, but, you never really know when it'll decide it's tired of working and zip off. it's kind of lame internet, but our only option right now).

we moved into our new house about two and one half weeks ago. the movers arrived bright and early on a thursday morning. I frantically did some last minute packing before I and my sister made an escape to whole foods (love that place) for some (in dire need of) coffee before we headed to our new home (it was so weird!). the movers eventually arrived, as well as some of our sweet friends who came to help us move. it made things so much more pleasant!

anyway, I will now share a few (totally random) pictures from moving day.

the house.

a tired sister.


chairs.

and sweet friends. we were working really hard. no really we were!

it's been an adjustment, no doubt. but things are finally seeming more normal. one thing I do miss is seeing people when I go running... but that has it's upside too. I l-o-v-e lip syncing. a lot. I just can't help it when I'm listening to my favorite tunes. running in a neighborhood, I couldn't do that, because, well, people would probably think I'm off my rocker (although I still did it sometimes. ha). but, now that I run with no one around but the trees, I can lip sync all the heck I want. and do my little head bop thingy too (because you can't have lip syncing without the head bop). and hand motions too, if I want. bliss. (and it's okay if you want to call me crazy now <3 I know)
I also miss not having to sit in the car for 45 min. to get some place. but, oh well.


sooo, yes, that was moving day. thanks so much to those of you who helped us move! it was a huge blessing.

thanks for looking! I hope to be putting up blog posts more regularly now.
