...And They Danced All Night

Isn't this couple super adorable and stylish?! I love it. :)

This is Jonathan and Joanne, and they're actually photographers themselves, running Encarnacion Photography. You can find their work on their blog here. 

I love this one. She looks so perfect! :D

Possibly my favorite shot. :D

Bare Shoot: A Sort of Sneak Peak :) [but mostly just photos of a cute puppy; oops ;) ]

This is Bare Magazine. These are some shots from my shoot with them today. Expect a full review of Issue Seven when it comes out. With my photos in it. Yuppp, that's right. (:  

Make-up. Done by the lovely and talented Mary King. You rock, girlie!

Pretty pretty make-up brushes. (:

I. WANT.

Sigh. I love this for so many reasons: 1. The bracelet. Courtesy of Sway, it's beautiful beautiful beautiful. Sigh. 2. The fabric. I can't give any more away. Wait for Issue 7 of Bare to come out! :D 3. The colors all together in this frame--Sather Gate, the gold of the bracelet, the red of the fabric. 4. The memories. Okay. That's all. (: 

Dear Jonathan, 

Can you and I please do a shoot?! We can do whatever you want. You style and I shootl; I will shoot all day, everyday for you, as long as you keep up these ridiculously hot poses. And osmosis some of your style over to me. Ha ha. Coo? Coo. 

Love, Simone

And now, for the main attraction. This is Pip. As in Pipsqueak. So freakin' adorable. He gave me puppy kisses. Yayyy. (: 

My favorite. I can hear my puppy at home getting jealous. Sigh.

Simone had a wonderful day. And, in other news, I just bought a new lens. GAH. I CAN'T WAITTTT. yee. (: 

Beth. Gorgeousness. (Synonyms.)

Last night one of my adorable friends came by for some help dressing for a cute 40's themed party; she needed cute accessories to complement her face (and dress and sweater) and I was more than happy to oblige. I did her hair and lent her a necklace and belt and then ended up shooting a few images of her--she looked so cute it would have been impossible not to! The lighting was horrible but in the end it actually ended up working with the old fashioned theme. Go figure. 

Oh, and the kicker?! We had so much fun playing dress up and hanging out that she didn't end up going to the party. I hope I'm more fun anyway...  xoxo

Here's a gorgeous, simple black and white portrait. She probably won't like it (you know how girls can be), but I think it shows off her pretty face. Sigh. (: 

I love everything about this shot: the "red" hair (it looks red, doesn't it?!), the necklace, the demur look to the side, and (of course) the boobies. How could you not love this shot?! 

(Oh wait, I know, perhaps you will notice the ugly hallway carpeting in the background... sigh. On the upside, she has promised to get dressed up in this exact same outfit again for me when the sun is still shining outside!) 

I love these.  (:

Look at her hair! I did that! I am so proud! Isn't it pretty! p.s. I want to go to prom again. I will dress up as pretty as I know how. Any takers?

Also, I plan on stealing her hair clip. Okay, well, stealing and then maybe giving back at some point. It's just sooo cute. Love. It. Beth has the best style.  

We didn't get to shoot very much (we were in a hallway for goodness sake!) but I love love love these. 

This one is my absolute favorite of the whole entire (five photo) shoot. <3 

And in Polaroid. ohmigosh.

Seriously, how cute can you get?!

 <3 

(happy monday)

p.s. Leave lots of comments telling her how beautiful she is. And how nicely I did her hair. We like compliments. ;) 

Featured! Well. Kinda. Bare Magazine Blog.

I shot the PlayGREEN festival last Friday for UC Berkeley's premier fashion magazine, Bare Magazine. They're awesome. It was an awesome event. I had lotsa fun. And, on top of that, they published some of my photos on their blog as they talked about the event. 

p.s. I did push ups at the Cal ROTC booth and actually made the record board for the women! Yee! They had my name up there as the "Title Holder" until I left. I don't think I got the most for the whole event in the end (there were another two hours after that for somebody--or multiple somebodies--to beat my record), but it still felt good. And my arms could feel all FORTY SEVEN push-ups the next three days. Ha ha. I'll work on those push-ups and just blow them out of the water next time their little booth is set up somewhere. (:
