my coffee shop friend

Dear Thursday afternoon coffee shop friend,
I love that we both love fall and that I got to celebrate it with you.  You are an amazingly talented model and I know you are going to make it far (when I laugh at you I only laugh because I like the idea...a lot). But seriously, I enjoy our bike rides and pumpkin spice lattes and going to the Coffee House with you every Thursday! Tell Taylor Swift hello for me when you are famous, okay? Thanks :) I love you!

Alright followers, I'm back with an all new look on my blog.  I've been wanting to do something new for a while now and I finally found something that works well (I think, am I right?).  One of my new goals is to start blogging at least once a week now that it looks all pretty.  I want to tell you stories about adventures or my obsession for the week, like this week it would be Steve Carrell.  I love his movies.  I don't think Blockbusters should be going out of business because this week I got five dvds for twenty dollars, two of which are Dinner With Schmucks and Dan in Real Life.  I love the soundtrack for Dan in Real Life and that it takes place on the east coast in the lovely autumn weather.  It really makes me want to live on the east coast.  But I want to live everywhere, so what can I say?  Anyways, I'll be posting more, whether it be a simple instagram picture or whatever is on my mind that day.

These pictures were taken of the lovely Savannah Benton on the first day of fall.  We drove and drove and drove (not really) to Fillmore and after a few u-turns and crossings of train tracks, we finally found it!  The lighting was perfect and so was my model.  She's going to be in the next Anthropologie magazine, so make sure to look out for it!  Enjoy :)

charmed jewelry ii

Some of you may remember my post from Charmed jewelry a few months ago. Last weekend I had another opportunity to photograph the hand-crafted necklaces, earrings, bracelts,and rings. I absolutely enjoy taking pictures for designer Sue Tyssee not only because I get to see all of her beautiful pieces but because I know I am going spend my time with wonderful people. As you can see, her two children, Aidan and Chelsea, tagged along for the shoots. I documented the whole weekend starting at the beach on Friday. On Saturday we went to the pier with the intent to get cheese dogs from none other than “Hot Dog On A Stick.” Although Stacey was disgusted by thought, it sounded pretty good to me. I didn’t even like corn dogs as a child, but these cheese dogs looked so enticing I had to try one. With warm, melty cheese inside and a sweet, thick crust on the outside I couldn’t help but easily share one with Chelsea. It is now officially a classic pier tradition. On Sunday Charmed Jewelry set up her booth at the cheery Farmers Market in Palos Verdes. Aidan and I basically scarfed a whole bag of Kettle corn, found a sweet banjo player, and tasted some of the most scrumptious cake ever. EVER. Seriously, this stuff was delicious. Thank you Aidan for introducing it to me.

It’s always sad to leave such a beautiful town.

Enjoy the photos :)
