What nobody talks about.

Hi friends. 
I finally got my laptop back! It's so nice to have back and I have some photos to share with you but first, I've been pondering. 


It seems as if all of these gorgeous couples here on the blogsphere never get into arguments or fights. Am I alone? 
It seems as if Justin and I have just been so stressed and exhausted these days to where it almost feels as if the love has been, well, forgotten? Okay, maybe forgotten is a little harsh but I'm just ready for a nice date, just the two of us. No argument and just big hugs. Or maybe we are the only ones that get into petty arguments. It's just something to think about. It's just been a rough week on the both of us. He's been in class on the Island all week (he's having to drive over an hour just to get to class). I've been in class all week. It's that time of the month. (Yuck) and on top of all of that, life is happening. 


Well that's that, right? 
Any ways, here are those fabulous photos I promised you! Kristen and I had a little photography date. She wanted to work on her portfolio some, and I just wanted to take some fun stuff! Needless to say, there was a lot of love :)

That's all for now. 

Don't forget to go to the giveaway tab and enter! :D

Love you all!

Xoxo

It's been a while...

...since we went wild!

It seems as if I start these things the same way each time, but I mean it from the very bottom of my heart. I miss you guys!

I have been a very very bad blogger, shame shame! But within reason. My laptop died the day before my last post. It's been killing me in all aspects of my life. Sad to say, I pretty much come close to not being able to live without it. Yikes!

So we're still awaiting the news of whether it will make it through the clean up, or if it's lost forever. Keep your fingers crossed, please! Any ways, here's a little catch up of what I've been up to. Today's post is going to be short and sweet. I have a ton of homework and emails to do before I can really enjoy my "day off".

So this is what I've been up to!
1. Homework. Self explanatory.
2. Dinner dates. With my new best friend, Kristen.
3. Sleep. Yes, my dears, since I've been laptop less, it's much easier to crawl in bed then fight over this pc with my sister. So maybe this is a blessing in disguise!
4. Photography.
5. Speech. I gave my first speech of the semester yesterday. If I may say so myself, I'm super proud that first, I am actually getting up for an 8 o'clock class! Not to mention, that I'm actually prepared for it when it starts, and I even kinda like it!
6. School. Self explanatory dos.
7. Catching up. With friends, school, boyfriend, work, etc. Also, this is what I'm doing for you at the moment, duh! :)
8. Oh, best friend. Well, I'm missing my best friend right now while she's away at boot camp. Secondly, I think I'm making a new best friend too! :D
9. Eat. Pray. Love. I'm going to start watching as soon as I finish this post.
10. Family. I've been spending a lot of time with mine lately. Sad to say it, my younger sister has grown up really quickly in the past week. Sniff, sniff.
11. Cooking! Thanks to my new diet, I'm cooking up a storm! Today I made Justin and I these delicious carb-free salads! Yummy! Mine had chicken, bacon, cheese, lettuce, eggs, and a little bit of mayo on it. It wasn't half bad. Also, I've made myself breakfast so much lately. Cheers for good new eating habits!
12. Glee. My newest late night obsession along with Pretty Little Liars. Wow, I'm such a cool 20 year old!
21. Love, another self explanatory, but it's always in abundance!
22. Prom dress shopping. Yikes. My younger sister bought her first prom dress on Sunday. It's beautiful and it's perfect for her personality. I'm not going to post photos of it yet, because I want to wait until after prom so you can get everything. Oh, the tears I'm going to shed. She's just so grown up now. Not to mention, she went on her first college visit today. Booo hooo!
23. Daisy Love. Well, Daisy and I have been cuddled up trying to stay warm and dry today. It's yucky outside :(
24. Work. Work at Brays Island. Work at Ashley Rhodes Events. Work in photography. School work. Yucky, lots of work. But the first three are pretty fun!
25. Computer crash! Whew! It's completely devastated me that my computer has crashed. But it made me realize how special this blog is to me. By having it crash, I feared that I would never be able to get any of my photos back, but after looking back on this blog of mine, I realize that almost all of my photos are already on here! What a lifesaver!
26. Wedding. I'm gearing up for this wedding in April. I'm taking inspiration in every form at the moment and letting it soak in. I'm literally a wedding sponge!
27. Sister time. See 22.
28. No carb diet. I figured, with it being mid-January, it was time to do something with this extra bulge of mine. Kicking that fat to the curb! I'm not eating any carbs for a week and a half, then giving myself about 2 days of relief (slight relief, I mean) and then back to the diet. I know it's not the healthiest diet out there, but I've seen the results and I need to do a little something here. So I'm almost at the first week part, and it's looking good.

Well, that was definitely more than I expected!

Since y'all have been such loyal bloggy buddies, I figured it's time!

You know, GIVEAWAY TIME!

Anyways, I'm off to watch Eat. Pray. Love. and comment a few of you wonderful ladies.
I hope y'all have a splendid day :)

And it sure does feel good to be back!

Always be fearless.

Finally! Whew, friends, it's sure been a while! All I know is that it's been quite a weekend + a few days.  Where did I leave off? I think I left you all waiting to see some of these fabulous "Trash the Dress" photos I did on Friday!
Well before I show those off, allow me to present to you something so close to my heart that just screams to me "I've made it!"


So here it is. Some things that came in the mail (together in the same day, might I add) and it made me so excited! So here it is ladies. I'm not so cute but these are! 

Business License! Woo!

Can only be completed with business cards!

Wowie! What a huge step! I couldn't believe it when I finally got everything. It just made me feel established. Not a normal feeling for me!


So now to what you are all reading for: The Trash the Dress shoot! 
Disclaimer: we shot in 30 degree weather (brr!) and it was a little too cold to really trash the dress per say. So instead of actually trashing it, we pretty much played dress up with it! It was an absolute blast. Let me tell you a little bit about my model. 
Her name is Suryia. She is a true friend, a makeup artist, and so much fun! She and I are both always behind the camera (a lot, together) and she was a little camera shy at first. Once we started playing a little bit, she really turned it on and her photos turned out incredible! Her mottos is "always be fearless" and that's so true to Suryia's personality. 
Okay, I know you're ready to see these! So here they are ladies!

I hope you love them all as much as I do!

By the way, my computer is SICK! It has a virus and it's going to get fixed tomorrow :( That's why it's taken me so long to post!

I miss you all darlings! But I have to get in bed, I'm exhausted.

Xoxo,

18 hour days...

Hi friends. 
I'm writing to you as an exhausted girl that knee's hurt too badly to function. I've been so consumed by school, work, & my side job (photography) that I've hardly had time to blog or sleep to say the least. 


I finally got on my blog tonight just to take a glance to see how you lovelies are doing and much to my surprise I have 103 followers and tons of comments to boot! I just want to say that you are so incredible! Thank you for reading, and once I come out of this work induced coma that I'll hopefully wake up from soon, I'll make sure to reward you, well at least one of you with a little giveaway. 


I promise that Tuesday, I'll have a post worth reading and comments will be returned. Back to work for me. 
I have a deadline to meet tomorrow for editing some pictures for a family. I have about 200 left to do. Pray for me. Oh and to add to it, I have to wake up at 6 tomorrow morning. Blah blah blahhhhh! 


But good news, my next post will definitely have some "Mess the Dress" photos from my shoot Friday! Hooray!

I love you. I love you. I love you!
