Fall Portraits // Angela

My friend Angela, who was in my high school choir with me, contacted me this week about doing headshots and portraits for her, and I was more than happy to be of service. She is such a beautiful girl and such a natural in front of the camera! To see more from Angela's shoot, visit my Facebook page.

Music Monday // Number 10

So I feel like I'm the only person who wasn't upset about the free U2 album being on my iPhone. I was actually happy. I mean, come on. Free music? Yes please! And then on top of it, the album's actually great! Here's my favorite from their new album, a song called "The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)". Enjoy!

Senior Portraits // Alex

My latest session was with my friend Alex, doing his senior photos! I've known this kid since I was 2 and he was like 3 months old, so this was a really special shoot for me. These is from part one of two (the second part will take place when soccer season starts... yay athletic photos!) To see the rest of the session and to view more of my photography, check out Whispered Wishes Photography on Facebook!

There's A First Time For Everything

Shirt/ Body Central (gift); High-waisted Shorts/ Jessica Simpson (The Clothes Rack); Belt/ The Clothes Rack; Shoes [not shown]/ Chinese Laundry nude patent leather pumps (The Clothes Rack)

They say there's a first time for everything, and last Sunday was a first for me. I went out for coffee and hung out with Joe by ourselves for the first time in over 6 months, and I felt amazing. We got coffee, walked around downtown a bit, got ice cream, visited his mom, visited my dad, and just enjoyed ourselves.

 I mark last Sunday as the beginning of me feeling super confident and comfortable in my own skin.

These pictures are bad. Like reeeeeally bad. I can't even believe how bad they are. I promise you all, the outfit looked SOOOOOOO much better in person. I felt like one hot tottie. And I don't even care how lame that sounded, I looked good. Sometimes it takes a good span of time where you feel awful, just like total ass and like you'll never catch a break, and then suddenly one day you wake up put on your Big Girl (or Boy) panties and things get better. And things have been going very well for me as of late.

Whoops, I missed a week! I blame our WiFi company. Ugh.

This week's selection is more Pentatonix with this ridiculously catchy song "La La Latch".

Enjoy!

Life Lately

My best friend, Autumn, and I on our last day together before she left for college up at Erskine.

Feeling: Lately I've been feeling extremely overwhelmed by all aspects of my life. Between being unable to find a job, dealing with working through the breakup, trying to figure everything out with my transfer to SCAD and financial aid, us trying to find a new house... there's a lot going on. I finally just broke down in tears earlier today after hearing that we didn't get the house we had looked at. Because it was basically the perfect house and I did the dumb thing and got my hopes up and already had a Pinterest board going for things I wanted to do in "my" room. Typical Gabby move.

Watching: On the plus side, DOCTOR WHO IS BACK!!!!!! I, for one, am totally loving Peter Capaldi's Doctor and I think that the Scottish sass and darker tone is very much needed after having two cute-and-cuddly Doctors (although I am not at all complaining about Tennant and Smith!) 

Excited About: Photography opportunities! I just finished one Senior Photo session for a guy I've known since we were both in diapers, and I have another cool conceptual photo session with one of my friends coming up soon. On top of that, I have received many inquiries as to my pricing! Much excitement.

Links I Love:

• Meet the man who uses his genitals to paint (NSFW). Funny and awkward, but the paintings themselves are actually quite good.
  
• I am completely in love with this dress and I'd get married in it in a heartbeat.
  
• I have no words for this, and I really hope this is a joke because it's ridiculous.

Music Monday // Number 08

This week's selection is "The Same Thing We Do Everyday Pinky" by Broadway. I can't give you any real explanation of why I love this song other than the vocals of the lead singer. That amazing male falsetto... Oo-de-lally~
