Happy National Bow Tie Day!

Aight peeps, I actually started off national bow tie day with a different outfit. My original bow tie outfit included tan pants and my gray oxfords. I wore it for half of the day too, but I increasingly became uncomfortable. It was a bit too... masculine? for my taste. Plus, it was really hot walking around campus in pants and shoes that I had to wear socks with. So during my break between classes I changed into this and instantly felt less hot and more comfortable with my appearance. And confident. Clothes, you're so weird! 

Also, it's Pee Wee Herman's (Paul Rubens) 60th birthday today. What the what? 

So this makes me ask, "Is it bow tie day because it's Pee Wee's birthday, or is it just a happy coincidence?" 

Anyone got the answers? 

Peachy

Here's yesterday's church outfit. 

So I didin't have the most exciting weekend. I bought The Hunger Games on blu-ray and watched a ton of special features. I painted my nails. And this happened:

We did go to a little get together yesterday to celebrate a friend's birthday. It involved cheesecake, babies, and (the board game) Imaginiff. Anyone ever play it? I'm too lazy to explain all the rules, but there was a card that said "If so-and-so were a beatle, which would they be?" As I read off the names, a few people said they didn't know the names of The Beatles. I died a little inside. 

Also, let's laugh at how small and kiddish I look in this picture:

Some Non-Business Photography

I've forgotten just how cool this park is, people. While there the other day, I realized that it's a great place to take family photos. I'll suggest it the next time I get an offer for a photo shoot. 

Someone doesn't like having his photo taken... 

This is my favorite non-people photograph that I've taken in a while. 

This park has so many great shapes to photograph. 

Back to School

First day of school outfit. 

 So, school was good. My art history teacher is funny. My drawing teacher is... ok? I don't know what to think of him yet. I won't find out what the rest of my teachers will be like until Monday. 

My friend Emilio took these pictures for me. We met at the park so I could return his lens. I gotta get my own 50mm lens. It's so good.

White Sands at Sunset

You guys, I had so much fun with these photos. Like I said, I've always wanted to have a photo session at White Sands and I was not disappointed with the outcome of these photos of this lovely family. As I was editing these I kept smiling. They just make me so happy! And they kinda make me wanna start a family with Ryan, like asap. Haha. I mean, just look at how happy everyone is. I've never felt that way about starting a family before. What is happening to me. 

I got the question "Where exactly is this White Sands?" the last time I posted pictures from here, so I'll tell ya. It's not in northern New Mexico. It's about 4 hours from Albuquerque, actually. It's in between Las Cruces and Alamogordo. So come visit :) 

That is One Pretty Family

Here are some of my favorites from a recent family shoot I did. 

Cute couple, cute baby, and one awesome view of the mountains in this here desert. I also have another family shoot I recently did at White Sands. I've always wanted to have a photo shoot there, and I am really pleased with the outcome of the photos. I'll post them tomorrow! 

Double the Style

Anne and I are both itchin' to go back to school. Anyone else feel the same? 

After Anne and I hung out, I got to visit with my friend Mae before she goes back to Albuquerque. She owns a small jewelry business and I bought a few necklaces from her that I'm excited to feature on this blog. Sweet! 

Anne: revived vintage dress, shoes & belt? probably vintage too

Beverly: skirt: thrifted, shirt: H&M, shoes: Payless

And that's that.
