my friends are bombshells

August 28th, 2010

as ice cube would say, today was a good day.

start off with sleeping in till about 830. awesome.

then my girl carla comes over and we have coffee.  i just love carla. we are so like minded in so many ways. its like a treat when i get to hang out with her one on one :) she is such a good friend and so silly, and laid back and fun. and i love her curly hair :)

then i go with her to hang/help her on her on her downtown t-town shoot. perfect.we had so much fun, found another ugly awesome couch (i cant wait to shoot on it!!!!!!!), went and hung out at tully’s, then she dropped me at the studio. then stacey and her girls come. so much fun and its only 1230 :)

stacey (she’s in the middle) is like a sister to me. in fact us sisters call her the 4th sister. but then she wanted to be the first sister because she was born first. she can be whatever she wants as long as she keeps feeding me with her wonderful, delicious, pretty food!!!

her two friends from high school were coming up to see her (from L.A. &  Houston) so we planned a shoot. they sent images back and forth with their phones while they shopped and the outfits and colors came together so perfect!

the day started with a spread. a stacey spread. we kicked it in the space and ate some yummy food. i would write what it was but i’ll leave it to stacey, i’m sure she’ll comment on this post with all the details. she makes it sound so yummy, she has good words :)

yeah, more gorgeousness, we had an abundance :) these ladies were the epitome of a bombshell!

and then they took off to portland for the weekend. seriously, what a perfect day! I had soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun with these chicks! its the kind of thing where you could just hang out for like, 2 days and never stop talking and laughing and having fun except when you were sleeping. then you’d get right up and start all over. and eat good food. and laugh. and talk. and laugh!!!

i love this kind of friendship, there is nothing else like it. it’s so special and so mutually fulfilling. i felt like together we created this vibrant energy that would consume anyone near us :) and i mean that in a good way!

i feel so lucky to have days like this. friends like this. i want to say i want more days like this. then i feel a little greedy. like i should just be happy with the ones i have. nope, i want more. and more. like butter on popcorn. as long as its still got some crunch, is there really such thing as too much? that’s what they made napkins for :)

the location was port gamble, the weather couldnt have been more perfect. the church was so beautiful to photograph in. lots of churches are dark and windowless which makes photographing in them not as fun. this one was fun!! i loved the simplicity of the whole event, the colors, the dresses, everything felt clean and light.

in the last year, these two had been separated for a large portion of it, he’s military. they bought a house, she and some of her fam remodeled it (like it had no walls and stuff! she’s handy!), AND she planned a wedding. yes, amazing. she is that girl, a get-er-done girl…

weddings part 7

angelina is a friend of mine. i remember when she first met john, the way they looked at each other, that kind of glance, look down and smile, it was so cute. we went out on his sail boat and hung out. i took some cute images of the two of them on the fly, her hair all blowing in the wind, you could tell they were in love. one of them ended up being their save the date image, who would have known?

angelina has THE coolest set of girlfriends ever! i went to her bachelorette party up in seattle, we stayed at the edgewater, went to a burlesque show at the can can, went out dancing, were toted around in a stretch hummer so we could party and not have to worry about driving and parking, it was soooooo fun! at one point there were 19 girls drunk girls in that hummer and everyone got along. now that is remarkable with females, dont you think?

at the reception, the girls in the wedding party ended up jumping in the pool in their dresses, it was sooo cool! and a bunch of the rest of us ended up in there too, it was a blast!_MG_1025_MG_1056_MG_1143_MG_1188_MG_1598_MG_1357_MG_1706_MG_1829_MG_1839_MG_1770
