my friends are bombshells

Saturday, 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 :)

nicci and i met through my friend dez.  nicci is a super cool chick. she’s one of those people you meet and you just know, every time you see them, you will feel good just being around them.

and she’s gorgeous.

and she can work that body, be it angles of her face or shakin it on the dance floor (she is so good!).

i would so love to have an afro. i would work it every direction it would let me. super big like a huge halo of goodness surrounding my every move, super short, twisted out. i guess it just wasnt in the cards for me :(   luckily i can live vicariously through my girl nicci, she is rockin the frohawk!!! yeow!

and there is more of her beauty in my bombshells portfolio, check it!

tennis, its intense i’m here ta tell ya

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

there are these two kids who graduated 2009. they’ve been friends since before they could spell their names. how cool is that? ends up that they are both SUPER into tennis. i havent photographed much sports before but OMG it was fun!

people have passions for different things and you can see the passion that these two have for this game. and at such a young age.  jeff is going to florida soon to pursue professional tennis. he practices 4-5 hours a day. dedication, seriously. what do you do 4-5 hours a day besides sleep or work? at 18 no less!!!!! i find it remarkable, truly.

these two are methodical in their form. i love how they hold their hands while they smash the s*** out of that yellow ball. and the way they fly through the air, amazing!!
