Did a shoot with Erin Knipp of Rosehip Flora for Cinco de Mayo. 

This is an out take of my beautiful friend Sarah. You can see more here or on Camille Styles blog.

If I'm remembered for one quote ever, I want it to be this.

Boston, this time around.

It's nice to revisit and work towards fresh eyes. Had bridals and a wedding here. Makes me feel accomplished and thankful.

The good, the bad and the ugly.

Ninth grade geometry reflection.

Love letter to the Yankees.

love this shot. didn't think it was appropriate for my wedding clientele.

So the story goes, my friend from high school is a fantastic welder and restores old cars. He and his partner are phenomenal. He was telling me a story about how he doesn't care for "Yankees" with good reason, a Yankee sent him a severely bowed piece of glass that you literally could not see out of. Anyway, this is his love letter to that Yankee.

Bonnie, oh Bonnie.

Beauty envy. Faye Dunaway was gorgeous. I love the feel old movies, all the actors were so classically good looking.

oh, romance!

I literally just heard the original version of this song for the first time and it transported me back to 1959 on a night like tonight. Rainy and cold, good for only one thing. Close dancing, in the living room next to the one dearest to me. Try it, I dare you.

Dear Life,

I really need to figure out what I'm going to do with you.

For starters:
+own a gallery/studio/workshop space in which I can reside.
+make art and design:: this includes becoming a master at painting, ceramics, jewelry and if I have time...furniture making.
+learn to play the piano; the lessons from second grade aren't cutting it.
+learn beautiful dance moves (also, gain rhythm.)
+learn to reupholster furniture.
this will be moving to the top of the list due to a great free sofa find today.
+more adventure. ziplines, camping with bears, daytrips...etc.
(note: "with bears" is just for dramatic effect)
+always help friends. + showering them with love.
+plan more flea market/garage and estate sale shopping trips
+give back to my community
+train and run a marathon. I say I want this...but it will take some doing.

ok. I'm not going to get too out of hand with this. This will probably take the rest of my life to complete.


ps. look at the bottom right picture of Sadie. A few weeks ago, a lady asked me if she was pregnant. {no, just chunky.}

pretty pretty

maybe I will revisit these when all my work is done and I can reward myself. Does anyone else do this? Give yourself incentive/ treat yourself like a child? =)

Aren't these incredible? At first glance they look like paintings, which would be impressive. But learning the medium ups the wow factor. :: Embroidery
Found here. (as usual)

mirror filter

It's crazy how a simple mirror filter can transform a video into something else.
