these women

Taken earlier this morning at Cliff's Edge in Silverlake, celebrating my 31 years of being alive. I am now officially in the midst of my 30s and there is no turning back. It is crazy to think about all that has happened in an entire year. This time last year Amber and I were here. A lot has happened since then... some good things, some sad things, and I am so grateful to have these women in my life. They have seen me at my worst, and at my happiest, and I truly felt the L O V E today. Thank you, my lovelies! xx

your friend,

With You, Today / Brian

My portraits of Brian on With You, Today

I'm very happy with how these turned out. I particularly love the blue tint from Brian's 1904 (?) home. On top of that, the weather was really warm in Pasadena (almost like a summer day). I just wanted to relax in the tall grass and sip on some iced tea. We had iced green tea with a hint of brown rice (indoors to avoid the sun). I've written about Brian before, and you can see that here.

your friend,

K U B R I C K

I had the pleasure of seeing the Kubrick exhibit for a second time with my dear friend, Robbie. After the show, I sat down to take a break and she snapped this portrait of me (my feet were hurting a little). It was nice to have my picture taken. I feel like I'm rarely behind the camera these days. Right now, I'm devoting all my attention to taking photographs rather than being in them. Underneath are some photos I took from some of my favorite moments at the exhibit. That first photograph below, I must credit to Robbie. I watched her taking some photographs of the children playing, and I couldn't resist doing the same.
