crunched for time today so i won’t be posting photos yet from some of the other shoots… lots of editing and other work to do around the house in prep for our anniversary mini-vacation this weekend. i’ll start posting the other shoots tomorrow and throughout the rest of this week… but today is gwen & jen 2, the extended shoot version. :)

i had an awesome shoot yesterday with gwen & jen. they were such troopers… hiking around in 90+ degree heat and humidity through rocks, bugs and weeds wearing dresses and flip flops. :) they even helped carry out the infamous 50+lbs purple leather chair into the middle of a field. you go, girls. they totally rocked this shoot! here are some of my favorites from the day:

ran around, had a consult, got hopped up on caffeine, and visited the best thriftstore ever where i finally found an unending supply of awesome vintage suitcases. i couldn’t choose so i bought 2, but i really could’ve bought 5 or 6. they are old school samonsites from back in the day. you know the type, hardcover with metal fasteners and probably a small trace of asbestos. also got some other cool stuff for props… exciting. again – best thriftstore ever!  i also need to go to father and son’s sometime to have a look around too. they’re a really great thriftstore in downtown raleigh and i know they’d have awesome stuff, but they’re slightly more “upscale” as they get a lot of their things from auctions and are genuinely vintage, so i like to look at cheaper thriftstores first before i spring for the expensive thriftstores, hah.

can’t wait for this trash the dress session on saturday. cross your fingers that it doesn’t rain.

finally getting around to all of the pictures of lemmy (logan lemewski) and sully (sullivan), my sister’s kittens. i took them when she first got them so that she could remember them when they got big. about a half a year later i am finally getting around to editing all of them. sorry, laura. :) typically the shooting, editing, delivery turn around time is 4-6 weeks, but it’s 4-6 months if you’re my relative. :) unfortunately in terms of editing priorities they get the short end of the stick. :(

but cute as buttons, here are some of the kitties. also, i think that my ratio of kittens to everything else i write about is really out of proportion at this point. oh well.
