Hello friends! So it has been a while since I did a regular "life update" post, and I think it's time to do one again. A few things that have been going on in my life include work, exercise, taking photos, getting bangs, and being in a wedding!
Nothing fun to discuss about work.
Onto the exercise, I've been trying to run again. It's not fun for me but I try to push myself regardless. Today I did yoga for the first time, and it was a really nice change from the cardio I've been doing. I always get lazy during my work week, and then get crazy trying to catch up when I'm off. NOT a good system at all!
I've not really discussed my photography plans on my blog, but I have decided to do a bit of photography on the side. I REALLY enjoy it and if I could make a little extra money from it, I certainly wouldn't complain! I've done several photoshoots with my friends, but last weekend I did my first paying gig...if you want to call it that. A co-worker asked me to take some photos at her baby's birthday party. It was a bit stressful, because I've never done anything like that before. My preference is portraits, so this was something new.
Those are just a few pictures from the day. I took over 300 of them.
I got bangs. If you are my friend on facebook, you may already be aware of this fact. I got tired of having the same hair for the last 5 years, but I didn't want to cut it all off. So I only chopped the front. Here's a bit of a before and after...the before is from January though. Haha.

And lastly, I was in a wedding. This was on my bucket list so I finally was able to cross it off! A high school friend asked me to be a bridesmaid, and I was happy to accept. It was a beautiful ceremony, despite the heat. And the sun...we wore strapless dresses. We were in the sun taking photos from 10:30 until 4:00 after the ceremony. Take a look at my pale skin. Yes, needless to say I was a bit burnt when it was over.
My back.
I actually haven't seen any wedding pictures yet, but I will share them when I do. I hope June has been pleasant for all of you so far! I am looking forward to what the rest of summer will bring!
10 lovely notes:
First, I ADORE your bangs. They definitely suit you! :) I've had bangs for several years and have been considering growing them out... hmm.
I feel pain every time I see that sunburn picture! Daaang that has to hurt! At least I'm sure you were gorgeous while getting burned :P I would love to see the pics!
The birthday party pics turned out great! You are talented :)
I haven't done yoga in a very long time. :\ I want to get back into it! :)
Love the bangs!
Ouch to the sunburn!!! :( I can't wait to see wedding pictures though!!

i think you look great and fresh with bangs! love it.
hha, burned skin is not fun at all. i get it too.
Lovely portraits! I love taking photos of others as well, it is so fun and creative-but a lot of pressure on you as well! The bangs are so great! I keep wanting to get them, but then talking myself out of them, haha. They look fantastic on you though! And ugh, sunburn..I keep forgetting to put on sunscreen when I run and I'm a bit burned too. Hope it feels better soon!
I'm so impressed by your pictures! They turned out great!!! I hope more opportunities like this come your way soon.
And of course, I've told you like 500,000 times...I LOVE YOUR BANGS!
