Crazy.

RIP Michael Jackson.

I feel so devestated.

Heart broken.

So many memories of him and his music.

I have felt like my photo today.

1000's of photos

I am still unpacking the house. It doesn't seem like it will end. While I am unpacking, I'm doing it the right way. I came across a plastic bin with about 2000 images in it. I went thru them and threw away old negatives and photos. I then put photos into album after album. I scanned in a few of my old photos.

So today, I opened another plastic bin and there are at least 2000+ images in it. OMG. I need more albums.

The weekend

Did a really cool engagement session. I just love the "I love Jesus" spray painted on the wall. Cracked me up!




This is Vickie and her son. Vickie makes really super cool hand made beads. They are all glass and she does an awesome job. She traded out a photo session for some jewelry. I'm always happy to barter for something I really want!!

Annacaye

Newspaper dress! White pancake makeup from Ben Nye. MAC black pigment and Verushka lipstick. Jewelry from estate sale. Feathers from estate sale. Styrofoam ball in her hair to make it big!!!

She was a freaking blast to photograph. I can't wait to do another shoot with her! Our doll idea didn't happen but I'm glad we ended up with newspaper!

Buuuuuuuuuusy!

Wow wow! April has been busy. I love it! I've got 8 boudoir shoots this month alone! I also got to photograph the lovely senior Jessica! I get to photograph Annacaye tomorrow, working on a doll theme. I think Amelia may become part of this project.

Tomorrow morning my classmates and I are "filming" our spanish movie. Should be funny!

I went to my eye doctor appt. today. My left eye is 20/25. I'm not 100% healed yet but I go back in 4 weeks. I should get my right eye done at the end of May. It can't get here fast enough. I am more than thrilled to have this near perfect vision in one eye. Everyone keeps asking what it's like with 20/25 in one eye and then lord knows what in the other. I reply with "it feels like a drunken buzz" I'm not sure how to describe it. It's weird.

I scored outdoor furniture for our deck today at an estate sale. I also got a huge jewelry armoir and a bunch of costume jewelry for the studio.

We close on our house on Friday the 24th. It's going to be craaaazy busy cause into May I have 5 boudoirs already set up, an egagement, senior shoot. That means I've got to get my studio set up asap!!!

Kristen and friends are coming at the end of May for riverfest. I can't wait!

So yeah........whew!

and on top of that...finals are coming....my brain could explode!

Pretty Senior Girl

I did a senior portrait yesterday. She was really cool and had a lot of fun! These were done in studio and in my yard. We were dealing with rain so we didn't want to go to far so the yard was the next best thing!

No house updates ... just waiting to move basically! I'm ready...have boxes people....let's get this going!

I had the surgery!

I had eye surgery on Tuesday. I was scared out of my mind but the doctor was AMAAAAZING!!! Best eye doctor on the planet. She kept me calm and her staff was excellent. She did my left eye. I finally took off my pirate patch. I go in tomorrow morning at 8am and they will take off the contact bandage. It's driving me crazy. I don't know how people wear contacts! This would drive me insane if I had to wear contacts everyday! I've had fun saying "arrrr matey" and saying "I have pirate booty!!" Gotta have fun while wearing an eye patch.
I am able to open my left eye and I can already tell a major difference. My left eye will be blurry for about a week. After that I'll get an eye exam in my left eye and get a new lens for my glasses. In about 2 months I will get my right eye done. WAY exciting!!! I can't wait!!! It will be just like having 2 brand new eyes.

The house got inspected on Wed. I was there but I don't really remember it. I laid on the floor and fell asleep. The pain pills were hardcore. But the inspection went awesome. Nothing wrong with the house except for a few windows that won't stay open on their own. We close at the end of the month. I'm so ready to move! Onward to being a home owner and painting walls! Good times! I just cannot believe how big this house is. The inspector said it was more like a 3000 sq foot house because of all the crawl space and attic space. I kinda felt bad for him since he had so much to inspect! eeek! He was soooo thorough! He was there from 2:30 until 6pm. I slept thru most of it. But hey, the carpets smell good! I laid on them for hours!
