I've gotta apologize again for not having posted in forever. It seems as though this is becoming a habit and I'm not stoked on it!! I just feel like I've been working nonstop and haven't had the time (or the sunlight) to be able to take photos! So, since I don't have anything new to show, I thought I'd do a throwback. These photos are from about two years ago. This was the first time I ever shot with/met Andrew, and we've been friends ever since. Seems crazy that these were taken that long ago now. Time really does fly.

How was everyone's Christmas?! Mine was pretty low key, spent it with just my parents and sister. It was honestly really nice, not having to work and just spending the entire day with them. I really do love my family. They're just the best.

Anyway, hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas!

Here's the second set I shot with Andrew Hunter a couple weeks ago. I have to say the last of these is my favorite, it just looks so natural. I finally found my perfect hat (pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but I'm doing it again anyway). I'm also pretty stoked that my hair is long enough now for me to wear hats without looking too boyish. 

I know I'm lagging on my Seattle trip update, I promise I'll get that up within the week! It's been a bit of a bummer getting back to reality after having such a wonderful week away.

Hope you all have had a great weekend!

Demi and I look confused?

Right after catching the bouquet.

I'd say I got a bit too excited about catching it, eh?

I was absolutely determined to catch that bouquet!

With the newlyweds!

These photos are from the end of May when I attended my friends' Jesse and Sam's wedding. Congrats again to you two! I decided to wear one of my favorite vintage dresses that I was so kindly gifted by Some Velvet Vintage. This one is from the 70's, and is absolutely gorgeous with the black velvet panels and fringe. Not to mention it fits like a dream!

As you can above, I managed to catch the bouquet... So I guess that means I'm next, eh? I am almost 25 now you know... Haha!

Hope you all had a great weekend and have a great start to the week!

Yikes

I've been pretty bad at blogging recently. I've been sick the past 8-9, which is the majority of it. I had my state board test in the midst of the illness as well, which was incredibly stressful. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through the entire practical part without fainting, it was so bad. But praise God, I made it through, and I passed. I'm now officially a licensed cosmetologist in California, and I'm FINALLY starting to recover from this illness that's been plaguing me. I've also got an interview in the morning for an assistant position at a pretty high end salon here in town, so pray for me for that. I'd be stoked to get this.

Here are the Victory Cafe staff portraits that our in house photographer, Andrew Hunter took awhile back inside the venue. I think they came out pretty bad ass. Ya'll should definitely check out his work, everything he puts out is pure gold.

And this has been a mini life update. Regular blogging will (hopefully) return soon.
