life is short, so laugh and flip your hair.



I adore hair. I always have--especially long hair. I couldn't resist the fair weather today, so I dragged Liv out and demanded a laughter-and-flipping-of-the-hair photo shoot. The sunlight was filtering through the trees, and though we only had ten minutes, we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

At least, I did. :]


..And since I am in the photog mood: I have never been to Paris, but our fair city of Portland the other night whispered of it. I'm no city girl, but there is something about the flickering, dancing firefly lights of a thousand windows on a city night that is beautiful. And so is a charmingly European cafe + street bokeh.

I couldn't resist a shot.


...Nor could I resist a few impromptu self-portraits...

^ Attractive, no? ;)


Hey, girl. Slow down. Life is short, so go laugh and flip your hair, take a photo every day, do silly things, curl your hair with socks, make a finger puppet, write a rambling blog post filled to the brim with happy photos, tell someone you love them, and most of all

don't forget who you are and Who's you are.

  6. Loved this post girly.

    I was remembering tonight while watching old family videos of when we were little how life just flies by. Makes me really want to enjoy and embrace each moment each breath I'm given.

    So yes, I'm going to strive to laugh a lot, and live life for Christ, and just be me. :D

    ((hugs!))

  9. Welcome to Pinterest! I now follow you. I love your photo shoot. Sisters are fun to have a photo shoot with. I did one with my little sister, Bekah last Fall. Of course, she loves to pose so you don't hardly have to tell her how to stand for the best shot. :)

    I love your blog and I look forward to every post you do.

  23. What a fun post! Haha, if I were to ask one of my siblings to help me with this, I'd get the "Oh no-you're not doing THAT again" look. Your hair is very pretty! I got mine done to my waist, but then brought it to mid back for now ;)

  29. I like your new blog design. It reminds me of the Robert Louis Stevenson poem called The Swing. I just changed my blog design, too (katislittlecorner.blogspot.com).

    I wanted to let you know about a blog photo challenge I'm having. The challenge is to find hearts in your everyday lives. The details are here: http://katislittlecorner.blogspot.com/2012/02/hearts.html
    You don't have to participate if you don't have time but I know you like photography and I thought I would give you the heads up.
