Katie keeps asking me how many days till she’s in Kindergarten. As of today, its 12. Last night my mom took her [us] school clothes shopping. Before we went out I told her to “hurry and get dressed cause gramma’s coming to take us shopping.”
This is the outfit she chose to wear:
Yes, that is a firefighter t-shirt and a straight-out-of-the-eighties Baby Guess skirt [one of my thrift store finds]. I’m kind of thinking I should have her pick out my outfits every day. This CUTE GIRL will have boys lined up the street.
In 12 days, you’ll be seeing a post about Katie’s first day of school. She’s ecstatic.
My childhood best friend, Cassandra, came to visit this past weekend to celebrate her birthday. She is now married with 3 kids all age 3 and under! She and her husband, Matt, are amazing parents. Their children were so well behaved and adorable! We headed to Cowell park on Sunday to get some family photos. Katie loved having them around and even got to help “babysit” their youngest [6 weeks old] during the photo shoot.
Two weeks ago, my bff, Angie, gave birth to her second boy, Luke. She let me take some photos of him yesterday to use in my final project for my photography class. I just want to bite his cheeks.
For my final project in my Digital Photography class, I’m making a handmade book of portraits, portraying the growth & aging process of humanity. I also want to capture the many emotions we face through our experiences in life.
If:
1. You are human.
2. You want to help me.
3. You want free photos of yourself.
…please contact me and let me know you’re interested! I need people of all ages.
This project is due Thursday, July 31st, so I have to start shooting asap.
I’m in a Digital Photography class right now and we had a project to do based on the work of David Hockney. We were asked to shoot a ton of photos of one scene and use Photoshop to collage them together. This was a fun project.
The Indigo Girls played an amazing set. There were only a few songs I couldn’t sing to [I love when that happens] and they were songs off their not yet released album. I can’t wait till February to hear the whole thing! Also, Amy Ray has a new solo album coming out July 22.
Funny thing. When we were walking up to the door, this guy came over to me and asked me if I’ve ever met Emily, as if it was totally normal for this to happen. I said no, and he proceeded to tell me that she would flip if she saw how much I look like her in a younger sort of way. I asked him if he knows her and he said, kind of awkwardly, that he does. I’m thinking he’s a roadie or something. Towards the end of the concert, I saw him at the front of the crowd flailing himself about with all of the women that were dancing.
Brandi Carlile was the opener. I didn’t expect such a strong voice from such a small girl. She totally blew me away! I tend to have twinges of jealousy towards people with so much musical talent. I think it’s time to pick up the guitar again. She really was amazing, and I loved how Amy & Emily asked her [and the rest of her band] to join them on a bunch of their songs.
On Saturday [June 21], I went to the Death Cab for Cutie concert at the Greek in Berkeley. It was a really awesome show with really awesome friends. Afterwards, IRF [my brother’s band: www.inreverentfear.com] played the after party show for Death Cab at Blakes on Telegraph. Their energy was high, probably due to their new member, Greg. They sounded better than ever. I took some photos, of course.
