Bridal Hair and Make-Up at Kelsey Creek Farm in Bellevue, WA

Can you BELIEVE it?!? I’m aaaallliiiiivvvveeee :) Sorry about my lack of blog updates. I’d like to explain how busy I’ve been or blame some random act of God for my absence, but that’d be lying… and I don’t lie (at least I try not to). I do have a reason, not an excuse. Facebook (FB) has taken over (a little Twitter on the side, but only to update my FB status and the handful of friends who only Twitter and not FB). That place has sucked me in and won’t spit me out, I tell ya! Now that I have FB on my iPhone (which is another thing I cannot seem to live without), it’s almost constant contact (which reminds me of the movie, Contact, with Matthew McConaughey (yum!) and Jodie Foster). Anywho, I realize not everyone is on FB (or they’re not in my “friends” list), so I need to neglect the blog no longer. Besides, I always have something to say (don’t I?) My hair and make-up friend, Rachel Williams, is launching her bridal business soon and needed some images to prove her point. That’s where I come in. Since having children, my hair hasn’t been quite the same. I’ve been a slave to coloring (darker on the bottom, wish Fire Engine Red would work permanently but it doesn’t yet, and blonde highlights above) so we worked out a little barter. Wee! Her friend, Emelienne (ah-me-lee-ann), was our fantastic model. She’s not a professional model, but she certainly could be! She was such a sport in the cold weather with barely anything on and was up for anything I wanted. Luckily I didn’t have to tell her exactly where to put her hand, shoulder, hip, etc. everytime. Yay! I’d love to take her picture anytime :) P.S. The sun was going down and affected the light I had to work with. It was really fun to think on my feet and adjust my settings quickly as the clouds would cover the sunshine then move out of the way and shine again… like an amusement park ride (except I don’t go on rides because I get motion sick).
