friday favorites and thoughts

May 18, 2012
















Hello friends! The past two days have been filled with a flurry of business, and I'm scrambling to finish school and work before the summer. The first few weeks of June are preeetty crazy (in the best way possible) and while I'm smitten with summer, I'm sadly in the group wishing there was a little more time to get everything done before then. I've got a few things to chat about, so this post is a collection of thoughts and questions for you all. :)

Summer Book

The other day on formspring, someone asked a sweet question about my poetry, which led to another question, which led to the request of a book of poems, sketches, and photos. I asked some friends on formspring and tumblr if they'd be interested in a potential book, and the answer was a hearty yes (which made my day). I've mulled over the idea several times before, but haven't considered it seriously until now. I have an idea for a book and was thinking of making it into a summer project. So, I'll ask again -- would you all be interested?

VSCO Film

I feel like the kid late to the party, who brings a box of sugar cookies plastered with frosting as pink as it is saccharine, while the other guests have homemade quiches and tarts and whatnot. I'm that serious. I've been itching to get my hands on VSCO film since the day it came out, and my grandparents and aunt gave it to me as an (early) birthday present. All I can say is, if you haven't already purchased it, do so. It's that good and I am seriously in love.

Design

With summer approaching swiftly (a big yay from me on that point!), I've been gearing up for my shoots and design jobs. If you're looking for a new design to spruce up your site, I have a few spots left open. Just send me an email! :)

Grateful For...




Caribou's Lemon Ginger Pomegranate Juice // VSCO Film // lazy almost summer days // shoots coming up // asparagus fresh from grandpa's garden // count down to Woodland // camping trips coming up // the return of shorts // rootbeer floats // freckles, freckles, and freckles // new ideas // summer poetry // trips // bird calls early in the morning // new camera gear // going barefoot


Happy Friday! x

  2. I do think I would be interested in a book!
    Then again, I'm actually just more interested in hugging you in real life. ;)
    Welcome to the VSCO film world! Welcome, welcome. I'll eat your cookies.

  5. I am so happy for you--you can do no wrong with lightroom or vsco (I have the former, still need to get my hands on the latter!). and you know my thoughts on the book...YES. hey, we can be book buddies, with me working on my cookbook/journal in germany and you working on your book! yeahh baby.

  6. Loving the VSCO and also the fact that I'm one of those shoots that's coming up. :) Can't wait to see you! Maybe we'll have to catch some Caribou too.

  7. Welcome to VSCO Film! It's pretty much the best thing to ever exist in the history of ever. And it's alright, I prefer sugar cookies to quiches and tarts anyways. :)

  8. Well shoot. I'm glad that you introduced me to VSCO, but also not glad because it's another thing to add to my hefty photog list. ;) But, do you think it's good for Wedding stuff or portraiture or both? On average, Wedding stuff needs to be classic - bc it's what the Brides want around here (again, on average. Not all! Some love a creative/innovative photo look which is my favorite! And this has only been my experience with 5 weddings... It may change). Anyways, such loveliness!

  18. ohh VSCO why do you have to be so expensive?? That's on my list of camera wants :) write a book :) when I have money I'll buy it ( thats my response for pretty much everything I would like now )

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think you should make a book! I would buy it right away :) And, just in general, do you design for Wordpress blogs?

  20. I would buy that book. You're just that awesome. Oh, and these shots are absolutely amazing ♥

  21. A book sounds good! Exciting stuff.
    And gah VSCO looks amazing. But my photography teacher would hate me for using it, and also I need to save for, like, a tripod and a film camera and photoshop before I can get fun stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  22. aah I'm so jealous of your VSCO epic-ness! your photos look extra-amazing today. :)
    and yes please write a book! I would totally buy it.

  23. okay, so i better come clean. i can't stop smiling. when i'd asked you to do a book of poetry, sketches, and photography, i had hoped you'd take me seriously.
    i love everything you do. and I don't think that light of yours should be hidden from the rest of the world any longer. ;)

    love,
    sheean

    I already told you on your tumblr that I would LOVE it if you made a book of poetry and whatnot. One question though - would it be in eBook form or actually tangible book form or what?

  30. still freaking out over that lemon ginger pomegranate juice. we need a caribou here. that's good stuff.
    also, sammy is a child after my own heart. my feet are dirty and bare ninety nine percent of the time.
    also, a book would be pretty incredible.
    and you're incredible.
