Extra Extra Read All About It


So a lot of good things have been in the works lately, and so I thought I'd share just a few of them with you!

First, I had the opportunity to visit one of my favorite cities this past weekend and it was simply marvelous. More about that soon (complete with an unnecessary amount of photos).

Also, I happened to be reading RVA News yesterday and noticed two of my photos from the most recent street style article are in the newest Capital Style! How neat is that? (Remember the first time?) It's been so cool seeing my work randomly around the internet and even in person on the streets. I've really loved this opportunity of taking pictures for From the Runway to RVA and getting more involved in the fashion world. I've always loved fashion and dressing creatively and uniquely (which you can read more about here), but now I actually have the opportunity to be involved in it with other people and be a part of different photo shoots and other creative aspects involving style and fashion. It's been so much fun. Speaking of which, you'll be seeing a lot more photo shoots and cool articles this upcoming month as we enter into Fall! I'm super excited to be a part of several fun upcoming projects, so keep an eye out for them.

Also I've had so many lovely ladies wanting me to do their senior pictures, which has also been fun. They are, in a sense, models of sorts and so taking their pictures helps me practice. ;)
I have a lot of album updates for the photo page to do though... There have been some very beautiful pictures taken lately.
Which has much more to do with the actual subject being just downright gorgeous rather than the photographer being talented.

And then of course not to mention the Etsy shop should be up and running by the end of the month (fingers crossed).

And on top of that I get to go to Boston for a weekend in October! I've never been to Boston. I'm looking forward to it. To say the least.

Anyway, lots of exciting and interesting things coming up, and with Fall literally just two days away I could not be more excited. All the knitwear I spend all year sporadically making, even in the Summer months, becomes totally justified once the leaves start falling off the trees.

And because I personally don't like blogposts that have big chunks of boring text and nothing pretty to look at (assuming you actually read all of that) here's a photo of some instax polaroids that I took over the Summer in New Mexico.











So what have you got going on this month?


Grace Potter & The Nocturnals

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see Grace Potter & The Nocturnals in concert. 
They were fantastic.
Ms. Potter has such incredible stage presence, she knows how to perform no doubt about it. 
And her voice is just amazing. 
Pretty sure she can reach every note on the scale.
And I love.love.love. her style. I wanted to ask her where she got her dress. Not that that would have been possible... But still. And her hair reinforced my recent desire to have my bangs back....
Here's a few photos from the show:













Fashion's Night Out


So last week, despite the torrential downpour, I attended Fashion's Night Out at Short Pump mall, camera in tow. The VCU fashion show was definitely a personal favorite, I loved seeing students work being able to be shown off and admired. However the Project Style Style Off was also cool to watch.
And guess who won?
Our very own creator of From the Runway to RVA... Larissa Wisniewski! She definitely did us proud. 
Check out her article about the event (featuring my photo's) and my facebook page for more photos from the night.

Friday I'm In Love: With Fellow Bloggers

So I read a lot of blogs.
My reader is constantly filled with pretty images and insightful words. I love getting inspired by others and their love for life and doing the things they love.
Here are some recent favorite posts....

This engagement shoot. It's adorable.

This photo shoot. I have one of those suitcases....

A tree house bed? I want one!

A post on how to stay inspired.

Things you learn from your hairdresser.

Pretty sure this would be a dream job.

I want a pet hedgehog

If I were more savvy with electric tools I'd make this...

Love these words of wisdom.

I want to make this for breakfast. Yum yum.

Have some gifts to wrap? Make them pretty.

Like Angelina, I wish I were an (underwater) ballerina

Adding this to the to do list

What a cute office. I love the colors!

One of My Favorite Places

It is no secret that I love the Virginia Museum of Fine Art. I have mentioned it several times. 
Maybe more than several times. 
I always find something new when I go. 
And even on the rare occasion that I don't, I still love visiting my favorites.
For instance the little dancer by Dagas, who has been away on loan and has finally returned.
I missed her.

Anyway, I went again recently and here are some shots taken with my Minolta X-700 
(and a not so great cell phone shot or two at the end)



I always leave this place happy.
