A Beautiful Autumn Day

The investment in my Canon SLR has been so worth the cash! I truly am lucky and thankful I was able to afford such a bad ass toy! My next investment it probably to purchase a longer lens than my stock one.  In the meantime, I am pretty proud of the images I have taken thus far.


Kaela and I spent the evening (before the early sundown) taking photos. As always, she was the perfect model!

Thanks, Kaela, for being such a great sport!

I heart 1940s

This last weekend, I attended the first reunion my family put together. Months ago, I decided to splurge a little and purchased a fancy dress. Not so formal, but something light, airy, something I can handle in 100 degree weather without spilling out or looking uncomfortable.

I've been meaning to purchase a dress from Lipstick Vogue, but had reservations about the price range. I took the plunge anyway and treated myself to this little number.

Let me tell, you, it was completely worth saving up for this outfit. It's the Blue Sparrow U.S.O Dress created directly from a vintage 1940's pattern . Ms. Kaela was such a pleasure to work with...she is very friendly and her work ethic is dead on. Quite frankly, it didn't hurt she's based in the same town as I. It's nice to know I am not the only one in this lonely town who appreciates this era.

*Edit: So I spent 3 hours wasting time on Photoshop and turns out the featured photo is small. I will not be fixing this, nor deleting this. Instead I will post a decent size of this photo on my Flickr account.
