smoke.

A few weeks ago I was out with my little sister, her friend Ashley, & James. I took a couple snapshots.
Cigarettes can be very soothing; I don't care how much it disgusts people.
People like you.










I do need to start shooting more.
The weather is getting nicer, so that definitely means more shooting in my future.

Last Summer.

I'm just now discovering some pictures I took last summer when I went to stay with my 'second family' in Texas. I've known the twins since I was a little thing. They moved away 5 years ago, but I think they're coming up for spring break so I'll finally get to see them again after about a year or so. I'm stoked.
These are just some random pictures I found & started editing with shitty Picnik.



Becca, me, Rachel. Right before I boarded the flight to go home.

Rachel touches dead sacadas. Gross.

I love the feeling of sand in between my toes. Unless it's white sand, then I get rashes.

Rachel in Nana's backyard.

Becca, Rachel, me, Jackie, Nana, & Allison went to the Kemah Boardwalk. When we were there, there was this place that had all kinds of reptiles & crap, & there was a sting ray there. Becca's watchin' the sting ray.

Rachel in the car on the way to the airport to drop me off.

Becca at the beach.

Allison checking out a toy. Hahaha.

westport

Today I didn't go to school. I wanted to, but my mom left me cus I slept in. Oops.
But anyway, today I walked around Westport with Courtney & got bubble tea (which she ended up giving to me. Not many people like the tapioca balls at the bottom). I got some cute pictures, but I want to go back & explore more when the weather gets nicer.


At first, Courtney couldn't find the money she got out of the bank for Tea Drops.

She got a tapioca ball in her mouth & spit it out, hahaha.


We went into Jubilee, one of my favorite jewelry stores. So cute. They have so many cute Hello Kitty necklaces.


She took a couple of me as I was trying to hop a fence. I'm so bad at it.

We found a mirror standing up against a building, so we took the opportunity.

Snapped one of me as we were walking passed a door.


2 of my favorite shots, edited in Picnik. I can't wait to get them into Photoshop.

I took these of Courtney as a school project.
The project was actually a Post Secrt project, which I'll post on here later. But these were just some random shots I got of her while I was shooting for the project.

tie-dye

Larissa got a tie-dye kit the other day, & we decided to look for some shirts to tie-dye. I don't have school today, so it's like I have all the time in the world.
I'm pretty bored, actually.








There's our adventure for the day.

rachel : senior

Rachel wanted me to take some senior-like pictures for her because she just passed her GED. I'm rusty, trust me. It shows.








The shoot ended up only being like fifteen minutes long because we were so cold.
So I'm thinking about doing Rachel's like I did Courtney's. I'm going to split her entire shoot up into seperate parts. Maybe 3.
I'll keep you posted as to when Rachel's next shoot is.

my little sister's hair.

For some reason, my mother wanted me to take pictures of my little sister today because she got her hair done.
Larissa hates it. I don't blame her. My sister has red hair, & when you go into a hair salon, you can't just get root touch up. You need to redo the whole color so it's the same red. Well, this lady didn't do that.
Apparently, she just put more red on Larissa's roots, left the rest of her hair the brownish color it's faded to, & then put blonde highlights underneath her hair, then like two highlights (literally only two) on the top. It looks..odd. But when it's up, it's pretty.




It took so much work just to get her to smile seriously. & I don't even take her serious smile seriously. That's why I try to get her laughing.




She's sillier than anything. It's almost impossible to get a legit picture like my mom wants. Hahahaha.

& she is obsessed with hair bows & flowers. I didn't end up getting her anything for Christmas (oops), but I was going to get her a cute turquois hair flower from Forever21. She loves them.
