Utah bound // almost.
I am coming to Utah from the 22nd to January 4th!
I really cant even wait. I cant wait for mountains, Christmas, family and friends. But mostly I am looking forward to my sweet husband getting to give his brain a break for a few weeks. I am so proud of him, and he really deserves it- semester I of Law School is rough!
...If you would like to schedule a photo shoot, I would love to do one with you. Contact me for details on dates and pricing.
On another note, I have neen trying to get this little beauty up and running for a while now. It hasnt happened mainly due to my lack of diligence. I also have decided (with the advice of a friend) to convert it to use AAA batteries since dealing with the old ones is a bigger pain (Believe it or not). So I will pretend to be an electrician (If i fail, Blake will probably figure it out) so I can finally use the instant film I have had sitting on my desk.
Minolta SRT101
It was my moms birthday yesterday. Thank goodness she was born. Thanks Grandma for giving me my mom. I cant wait until she comes down here in a few weeks.
This my husbands pretty little Minolta SRT101. His brother brought it in town for us last weekend. Putting it to use lately and loving it.
On my mind.
1: Kinfolk Dinner // You can still get your Kinfolk Dinner tickets at Kinfolkmag.com
2: This Weekend // My Best Friend since 3rd grade gets in town tonight.
3: Christmas in Utah // We are coming to Utah for Christmas break! If you want to book a session, just send me a message. I will have the exact days I am available up shortly. Roughly the 22-Jan 3 with the exceptions of Holidays.
4: Offset printing // Learning a lot, and loving it. Getting ready for Birch House has been pretty exciting. If you know any good tips for offset printing- tell me.
5: Walls by Mur // Some of mine and Blake's friends started Walls by Mur, and Kristi (one of Blake's very best friends) designed them. Its funny because Blake mentioned that I should do triangles on the wall like Kristi does. Then they launched Walls by Mur and I am hooked! I cant wait to get mine. Because I dont have to go through the hassle of trying to paint perfect lines, they are removable adhesive. Genius.
6: My Husband // He is so busy with school. Law school can be pretty rough. The other day someone asked me if I was one of "Northwestern's Law Widows". I probably am. But with an amazing husband like Blake, I get time with him. He is so good about having dinner every night with me. And we try to go to bed together every night (This often means me waiting up pretty late for him or going to bed really early so he can get up ridiculously early). But its totally working for us. I am so grateful for him.
7: Annie // Sometimes I am surprised how pretty Annie is. We get compliments on what a pretty dog she is all the time. Why am I surprised? Because Blake and I would have taken home the mangiest mutt at the shelter and some how, we took home this very, very, pretty pup.
My bodies a zombie for you.
Yesterday was probably the last day of warm we will have until next summer. I am so glad me and my sweet husband and Annie Jo got to spend some time together outside. I am starting to feel stressed as this next month is crazy busy. Why do we get stressed about good things? They are all wonderful amazing things.
We have family or friends visiting us every weekend in November. I have a ton of shoots lined up, including a super exciting one I get to do with Kinfolk Magazine. I got a bunch of film in the mail a few days ago, and I got my teaching certificate in the mail that makes me eligible to substitute teach in Chicago. I really am so excited about that. Blake has lots of work this time of the semester, so its good I have things to keep me busy, but I miss him already. Thank goodness I have this pup to soften the blow.
*in the spirit of halloween... listen to Ryan Goslings band Dead Mans Bones- here is a fav.
