Lady Bugging

I could have sworn I posted this months ago, but it looks like I forgot! No surprise there. I've been forgetful and lazy lately. Any who, A long while ago I posted a simular Sweet 16 post of my friend Ceci. It's part of a project I started well over a year ago. It took me about a year to edit Ceci's photos so I made her two "16" sets instead of one. You can find the first one here.

It only took me about a year, but I've finally edited Ceci's Photo booth photos! Yay! Slowly but surely I'm still working on this project. As a reminder, It's my Sweet Sixteen Project. Sixteen people with sixteen frames. So far I have four down (Kayla, Brenda and myself) and twelve more to go. Originally this is something I thought I'd finish by the end of 2011, now I'm hoping it will be completed by the end of 2013. If anyone wants to participate, I'd be happy to have you take part. 

My Apologies

Wow, has it really been over two weeks since I last posted? I guess sometimes life just grabs you by the horns and runs away with you, quickly. I guess I've also just been lazy.

My last few weeks have been hectic to say the least. My boyfriend and I were pretty much forced to find a new place to live in a short period of time. There was apartment searching and planning followed by a bunch of packing and unpacking. This also came in the middle of a long planned vacation to Vegas with my sister and our friend Stephanie. It has been a busy few weeks, but I’m back! And I have a few things to catch up with.

I have a few projects planning for the new apartment and lots of photos to edit from Vegas and from Ceci’s Photo booth session.  There is also a exciting Salon project in the works! I’ll keep posted. I apologies for the hiatus, but I’m back :)

In the spirit of leaving my laziness behind me, here is an ode to the lazy.

Girl About Town

Ohhh Brenda Wenda

Brenda and I met about 5 years ago while working at a little store called Gap. It turns out we had a mutual friend and were both starting at the same college in the fall. We ended up working at that store for about 3 years and finished out college together. We've been friends since our first interview at the Gap and a lot has changed since then (in a good way). We've grown up quite a lot, graduated college, gotten real jobs and started blogs! Brenda is pretty new to the blog scene, check her out! She focuses on her two loves, fashion and the San Francisco Giants. Home girl is a HUGE fan and has been since birth. Lets just say you couldn’t have a happier fan right now.


Thanks Brenda for being my model and for always being my blog editor! I can't spell for my life and my grammar is pretty questionable.  I don’t know where I would be if Brenda didn't help me out!  Also, today is kind of a historic day. Brenda, Kayla and I will be attending the Lady Gaga concert tonight! So, in honor of her Fab Majesty, here is a little preview of what I’m expecting tonight. Sheer amazingness. sdfjksdfkjs;fkb words can not describe the excitement. 

A Very Merry Happy Birthday to Kayla

Today my friend Kayla turns 23 years young. Well, according to her facebook invite she is really turning "21 the trilogy" or something of the sort. In honor of her big 21+2 I thought it would be appropriate to share her photo booth session! I think it turned out amazing and Kayla was a great model. More photo booths to come soon!

Happy Birthday Kayla! I'm excited for 21+3! 

Self Portrait Photo Booth... Again

Ok, so like I said a few days ago, I have a project brewing and I’m ready to give away a few more details!! I’ve decided to shoot a portrait series! I’ll be using 16 models (my friends) to complete this project. It will be a series of what I’ll call “photo booth” photos or a 4x4 portrait frame. Like this!

In order for my prospective models (friends) to loosen up and get comfortable, I decided to do my own self portrait session first. This way they get a feel for what to expect. It isn’t always easy to loosen up in front of other people and put yourself out there. I think this project will really get people to open up and see a whole new side to themselves. I couldn’t be more excited.
