The trees are balding. This is my favorite dress.

Something I think is kind of funny is when people think I'm dressed up just looking like this. This isn't dressed up, this is how I dress. Today I was out taking pictures with a friend (her senior photos, eep! Someday I'll do this professionally..) and a guy walked by where we were and made some comment about us looking all dressed up and awesome for our pictures. That got me thinking.. has our culture really become so casual that the very act of wearing a dress means you are dressed up? Why don't people dress up for little things? I personally have always enjoyed the ritual of picking out an outfit for an event as small as going shopping, the doing of the makeup, arranging of the hair, choosing of the jewelry.. I know many people share the same feeling I do of enjoyment, and yet the common clothing to wear is jeans. I suppose its just a matter of personal taste and comfort.

This was the first time I got to wear this dress, and I kept getting compliments! I also kept getting the comment "You must really like cameras" as I was both wearing this necklace, and carrying my real camera with me. Today was such a nice warm day, warm enough to not wear a sweater. I do look forward to the rain, but I'm enjoying the warmth while it lasts.

It's finally time to start with Autumn layers.. Tights, sweaters, thick socks.. It's my favorite time of year! I especially like that everything is turning pretty colors- everything looks so happy to be alive! It's a little like a second springtime, except everything is getting ready to go to sleep rather than wake up. 

FOTD: Fall

Lipstick is Wet N Wild Megashine in Dark Wine. I'm loving these fall colors!

Carnival Unfocus

A photo series I created this Summer. I love shooting in manual: it gives me absolute control over the focus, lighting, color.. everything. When you go to a carnival, what does it feel like? Everyone is moving and pulsing in a crowd, the rides are spinning, there's loud music...

It goes by in a blur, doesn't it?
