2014

Isn't this a downer as a picture for New Year's?

It's almost the New Year, kids! Are any of you into resolutions and all that? I'm usually not, but maybe that's why I am not a billionaire or supermodel yet. Maybe not making resolutions is what has been holding me back this whole time, you know? What are some of your resolutions?

Not keeping up with this here blog makes me feel mighty guilty - it's been weighing on me big time, so I'm going to kick-it-up and really put an effort into bringing you great readers new content. I'm also going to try my hardest to become a super successful supermodel, business icon - someone that people will be jealous of and look up to for inspiration - is that too much responsibility for one resolution? I don't know how these things work! Ok, one more. I'll also try not to post cliched paragraphs on this website; for example, a post about resolutions before New Year's. I mean we've all read these things before, right?

Anyway, HAPPY 2014!!! I hope all of your resolutions come true and feel free to post any tips on resolutions or New Year's or even your New Year's outfits. I'm just very curious. Great, thanks.

Sixties Chic

Hey Guys! Sorry about that! You guys must have been waiting here so patiently! You all were probably on the edge of your seat waiting for the BIG ANNIVERSARY OF THE BLOG post, but I'm going to do that next time! I think a month behind schedule isn't too too bad, right? 

Here's a little nugget to keep you guys satisfied. Let me know what you think about this one. I've been doing a project where I take family/regular portraits throughout the history of photography. This one is in progress. This is 1960s. But don't worry there will be more to this pic!

The Boys are Back in Town

For photo class I did a project where I made mug shots of my friends in the outfit they felt most comfortable in or describes them the best. I have actually never taken pictures of boys before which is weird, but I found it interesting. Here are a few of my favorites.

      

 

These are some new ones from yesterday. I hope my teacher likes them!

Voyeur Allure

My Vision

Valerie Shaff, who I interned for this summer, did a photo-shoot of me! I styled it and told her my vision for the shoot. I've never had my picture taken by a real-live photographer before. The dressing gown was provided by Lisa Durphee at Five and Diamond Vintage in Hudson, NY.
Don't you love it? They're all pictures of me!

Last Days of Summer

I went to the county fair last weekend and let me tell you, it was fascinating!

Come see some of my pictures!

Cosmonaut SashaMalia in Space

SashaMalia was very close to impossible to photograph. 

She still is the very best fish anyone has ever had.

Do you guys ever have dreams where you're driving in a car and you're singing a song about TWERKING in German and you're enjoying it?

-Notes from my phone circa 4:00am

Isn't She Peachy?

Here are some more photos I took at my internship with Valerie Shaff!

These are of Lily.

 

Die Giraffen

Went to Animal Land this weekend. The #1 attraction in the Adirondacks (according to their brochure). It was a little sad, but mostly awesome. You get to feed and pet ALL of the animals. I held hands with a lemur!!!! That had to be the coolest thing I've done in awhile. 

My Perfect Pets

Here are some shots I took of my pets today. Aren't they so cute!?

Sherlock

Hunter

Rupert

I just love my animals!
