rust.

the hubs and I recently bought a project car, a 78 vw bus to be exact

I LOVE rust and patina and texture and this bus was full of it :]

I was inspired by the rustiness while we were wet sanding it

beautiful

and a preggo belly shot ;)

Pretty in Pink 80's Birthday Party

So many pictures, so little time!  It's been awhile since I've posted (ok, so 4 months is a little more than awhile) but I have plenty of pictures just waiting to be uploaded :D

I recently got the chance to photograph a very colorful 80's themed 16th birthday party (the birthday girl actually wore mom's old prom dress!) and here are just a few of the highlights:

a whole party platter of gummi bears and sour worms

a rubik's cube birthday cake

colorful balloon fights

and crazy makeup :)

not to mention a very awesome mullet

and mom and dad's vintage vinyl!

even mom and dad got in on the dress up fun :)

Fave :)

My recent beach trip was the first beach trip and the first camping trip for my youngest dog Shifty.  He didn't love the beach like the girls do, but I got a few pictures where he didn't look too bored.

this was one of my favorites and I thought I'd share :)

beach vacation!

Went to South Padre with the hubs and the three dogs this weekend, I have to admit that I'm kind of a weenie when it comes to sand and my camera but I thought, what better place to practice some maternity photography?

this is one of my favorites, I love that you can see my tattoo in it :)

Usually when I photograph myself I use a tripod and remote release, but like I said I'm a weenie about sand and didn't want to fumble around with all that so while these were directed and edited by me, my lovely husband clicked the shutter ;)

Four months! Yikes!

Oh gosh, in my last post I said I'd try to keep posting throughout the school semester but.....    that obviously didn't happen :)  four studio classes kept me pretty occupied.  So about four months later, one senior show down and graduation over with, I finally have time again to photograph and blog!

Incidentally about four months is also how long before my husband and I will welcome our first sweet baby into the world.  :D  On that note, my blog resumes, enjoy!

how sad!

Well, depending on how quickly school takes off this will probably be my last post for awhile :(

I think I will still try to post at least once a week though :D

this is 35mm film and I took this photo probably two years ago, when I first started school I took mostly film classes to begin with and I tended to be very influenced by formalism and early modernism :)
