a great read, an excellent cd & glam photo shoot

totally jazzed about 3 things today

#1.  the new sara bareilles cd , kaleidoscope heart , is fantastic!

i love that sara bareilles
her music makes me feel all happy & sunshiney on the inside




#2. after quite the dry literary spell
i finally came across a great book
i'll give it 4 1/2 stars

the kitchen house is a heart wrenching story
historical fiction of plantation life set in the late 1700's
for me, the strongest theme in this poignant story
is the love the women have for their babies
whether conceived out of wedlock, rape, incest
or with their soul mate
they love with passion, intensity and fierce loyalty

there were several instances where i felt i wouldn't be able to finish
a definite heart breaker
but an excellent read



#3. this weekend i wrapped up a glam themed
photo shoot session i've worked on with each of the girls

i had a vision in mind for each of them
& am happy with the results

the florabella collection released the LUXE actions
earlier this summer
i knew immediately i wanted to shoot the girls in vibrant colors
to really have fun with this set

a few of my fave's from emi's shoot~



















































the obligatory "are we done yet....you're driving me nuts mom" shot




my sweet emily austin
thank you for spending an hour flat ironing your naturally curly hair
on a humid day
wearing painful stillettos
& walking around the carnival
while all the carnival folks wondered what the heck we were up to
YOU are a  trooper

i know these last few weeks at school have been rough for you
i hope you have tucked deep into your heart
how proud i am of YOU

& emi
this last picture of you..
it
takes
my
breath
away....
