Dream Subject - Shirley Manson

Shirley Manson has been a big influence on me every since my freshman year in high school.  I would cut all the pictures I could find out of magazines and print out pictures from the internet and decorate my room with her pictures.  Love her, love her music, love her style.  She is so different looking and she embraces that. Also, a little known and random fact... she loves the San Antonio Spurs!  Go, Spurs, Go!

iPhone Pictures

 Sadly when we got iPhones last year they totally replaced the need for my point and shoot digital.  But they take awesome pictures and the photo apps are awesome.  And most you can get for free!  Another plus for the iPhone camera you can just upload it to a website, email or text your pictures within seconds. 

Bold Makeup

Makeup is one of my most favorite things.  I love putting it on, I love putting it on other people and now I really want to do a session with extreme and bold makeup.

Parasol - Inspiration

I love parasols.  I even used one for my bridal shoot.  There is something about them that is so ladylike and charming.

Houston

 This weekend we went to Houston for the weekend.  We stayed downtown at the Magnolia, and on Saturday we went to the Astros game with some friends.  We had a great time.  Here are some pictures from the trip.

 Downtown

 St. Arnold's Brewery

 We weren't expecting it to be this crowded.  When we left there was a line down the stairs and out the door to the outside.

 He looks thrilled.

BEER!!!

Corpus Christi Bay

 Down the street from our house there is a park were you can access the water.  On the weekend it's super crowded with Kite Boarders and people watching them.  Luckily the morning I went there was not a person in sight. 

 Corpus Christi skyline

 It's strange here because part of it is sand and then the other part is old concrete scraps that the city must have thrown down to build up the area.

 I really wanted this piece of concrete to use as a planter but I couldn't pick it up.

France - Inspiration

What can I say, I love France.  Here is why:
