Who needs money?

"What would your life look like if money had no meaning? Would you work? where would you live? Who would you spend your time with? What would you do more/less of?"

No money? HALLELUJAH! Is that insensitive? Who cares! All my life I have been told "there isn't enough money to do this" or "and who is gonna pay for that? I'm not!" So forgive me if I'd be all the more merrier if money did not exist.

I would definitely work abroad; possibly in Venice, Italy or Dublin, Ireland. Yes, I understand the greatness of being born in a "free" country and family is important and blah blah blah. However, honestly, all I want to do is travel and live on my own and find a meaning to life without having to worry about paying rent and bills.

I would spend my time with my friends when I could, my family when I wanted, and engage myself in meeting new people. I would travel more, EVERYWHERE. I wouldn't take a job just because I needed the money to pay rent, and actually spend my time doing something I love. Who needs money anyways?! In my money-free world, everything would be fine and dandy. Oh, and I'd probably drink a lot more Amaretto Sours... because free alcohol. That's why!!

Goodbye reality, I'll be leaving now.

Selfishness

"In what way are you selfish?"

I'm pretty much a friend hoarder.. is that a thing? No. Wait. That wasn't the word I was looking for. I am selfish when it comes to my friends, and I don't think there is a word for that. You want to spend time with my best friend? Nope. You think its cute to call MY best friend your best friend? HAHA you're funny.

I know they are not a possession that can be claimed, but they are still considered MINE in my mind.

I cherish the time I have spent getting to know my friends personally and emotionally. I don't like having to share that connection with anyone else. When I am unable to see my friends due to work or school and distance, it makes me that much more selfish when I see them doing well without me.

Almost like I'm left out. But, oh well. Life moves on, and being selfish isn't so bad.

Plaid, Lace, & Derng

Today I photographed two beautiful ladies as they modeled Derng. As a little background info, I used to work for the lovely lady that runs this company, and I absolutely ADORE her jewelry. 

Thank you to my lovely models Sami & Megan for their patience in the rain, and climbing through bushes and dirt! Also, the mosquitoes.. we can't forget the mosquitoes! 

Another thank you to Derng for their generous loan of jewels for this session! 

Hope you all enjoy!!

A Weekend for TRUE College Kids

This past summer, I went on a lot of adventuring. One of the places I went to was New Orleans, Louisiana for my best friend's twenty-first birthday. To say we had a blast is an understatement! The only two downsides to this trip:

1. Walking a million blocks in heels, while it's raining (it was really like 10-15). 
2. The weekend was way too short! 

But we looked cute doing it! (it was raining, so I couldn't take my camera out.)

We were able to take French Quarter Tour while we were there also! However, we really just fooled around and made complete fools of ourselves. Who wouldn't? 

What an AMAZING trip this was, I hope to go back one day!
