Lindsey and Aaron's Engagement (Art Feeds) Session

Lindsey and Aaron won a free session with me by bidding at a local silent auction for Art Feeds, a non-profit org. that my friends head up. Thanks Aaron and Lindsey for supporting such a great cause and giving me the experience of shooting you whom I never met before (first time for that by the way) and making it a wonderful session and great morning. It was soooooo windy and heated up real quick but these two love birds were so easy going and hilarious. We met at the Joplin Flea Market and then ventured on from there, but I was excited when they were down with going in and kissing it up in front of people;) aahhhh thanks guys for being so good.

Beth

Some of my favs.,..










Happy Friday!

Oliver Severin Jones

This is the name I just made up for this lil ol codger. (I say codger cause my dad says it, makes elderly gentlemen sound pugnacious to me.)
So Bethany loves to dress up, of course I love this too. Her and her sister Adrienne who is also just as gorgeous but didnt want pictures,(like I let that happen) came over and hung out, I use to work with them both at TJ, they are my ex_employer's nieces. I also have taken photos for and of B before.
Anywho..Bethany wanted to do some 70's-ish inspired stuff, so we collaborated. It was super fun and stupid hot out..Henry came along and afterwards I bought him frozen custard at Shakeys ( ..and I know it's Shakes but I refuse to call it that, cause it IS Shakeys why the decided to changed the name I dont know).

So yeah I've always wanted to do a fashion shoot with some random older dude. And this guy, so cute!...I just couldnt pass it up and Bethany was all for it. I dont think he understood what we were saying really but he went along with it. I might make a habit of this, I like it. I just wished I lived somewhere awesome like Norway and could find old men that look like this to do a photoshoot with or just to hang out with, while listening to his stories and eating some really good cheese or something.

So its late and Im rambling.

With out further ado..I give you Bethany and the man of which I didnt even ask his given name.

I couldnt pick which one I liked better, cause I like them both.

all the yesterdays

Well here are some photos of the 4th with my family, Eli and HB. A photoshoot I did with the awesome Will Vastine and his lovely assistant/GF Erin Sunday. And just other random things like Eli being recorded for his friend Kevin's album and snap shots of my friend Shauna from the shoot and my gorgeous son who is so big now..Henry Boyce.
Im going to sell some vintage pieces of mine on my Etsy that I got in an estate sale from an elderly lady who made all of her own clothes...And Im going to donate the money I get from those pieces to people in need from the tornado that destroyed many homes including the home I bought these clothes out of. I want to do something to contribute and also give others a chance to help who dont live here. I feel pretty helpless and my home was only 3 blocks away from the path of destruction and we got away with only a scratch. So I want to help with fashion. I wonder if that sounds dumb?
Anyway whatever, Im doing it..

Hope everyone has a good wkend.
