just a really epic photoshoot.

a few months ago i was asked to help with this REALLY amazing project.

a "through the decades" photo shoot.

i put together all of the costumes.

and it turned out incredible.

so now i must share.

the crew was an uber talented group of people.

see above.

however...the initiator and photographer of the entire project, blake hannah (who, consequently, took my senior pictures), is not pictured, as he is behind the camera.

of course.

to see the entire photo shoot, go to this facebook page.

go ahead and "like" it while you're there.

you'll be glad you did.

senior shoot.

the long awaited senior shoot i promised to share oh-so long ago!

all these photos were taken on a hilarious day by the ever so talented Blake Hannah...and we were joined with the really super dee duper awesome Madison Hoover. 

maddy and i were in the parking lot of lowe's waiting on blake to pick a few things up for the shoot. 

we may or may not have been listening to disney music.

or singing "a whole new world" at the tippity top of our lungs.

with the windows rolled down. 

(we do this a lot.)

we see blake come out of the store and walk to our car and ask "did you guys see the robbery that just happened?!"

us: ".......no......"

so apparently there was this actual robbery that happened in lowe's...the robbers ran out the front door (right in front of us)...and we missed it all.

awesome.

we picked up a few props for the shoot and headed to our first location: a wheat field.

coolest. thing. ever.

we hopped a fence.

threw a red chair over.

i sat in the wheat.

and epic pictures soon ensued.

second location: mysterious pine forest in the middle of texas by the lake.

a forever long hike from the road to the forest...but so totally worth it.

i literally felt like we had stepped into a completely different state.

or a magical world.

like narnia.

squeep!

while driving home that night...a tragedy occurred.

winding through the small country road...in the dark...maddy and i had a traumatic experience involving...

an armadillo.

this is a bit how it went:

us: *laughter* "what a fun day" "today was awesome" *more laughter*

when suddenly...a wild armadillo appears.

us: AAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! *screams and squeals*

me: *slight swerve at an attempt of avoiding it*

car: *ever so slight bump*

us: "what. just. happened." 

*hilarious laughter soon follows and doesn't conclude until long after we've arrived at home*

i'm pretty sure i maimed that poor armadillo. 

the bump wasn't big enough to have killed him...but i ran over something. 

like his tail. 

or...a limb.

most terrifying (and slightly hilarious) driving experience OF. MY. LIFE.

but all in all...it was a happy, happy day.

an ideal day.

a couple of weeks ago i had an absolutely lovely day consisting of being "rue-ed," going antiquing, and getting my senior photos done in an awesome wheat field and pine forest. 

just going to say...it was a pretty awesome day.

i found two beautiful vintage 50's dresses. 

got some INCREDIBLE senior pics (i'll share soon).

and laughed/smiled so much that day...my face was literally sore.

i SO love days like these.

a 1940's photobooth.

last night was the swinging-est dance i've ever been to. literally. 

ever since exactly a year ago today...my friends and i have been planning a 40's dance for our annual homeschool cotillion. after HOURS of list making, planning, dreaming, crafting, painting, cleaning, and more...last night was the big night.

and let me tell you...it did NOT disappoint.

hopefully in about a week or so i'll be able to share pictures from the dancing, speaking, singing (three of us performed an andrews sisters song), etc. but for now...here are some of my favorite pictures EVER from the photobooth we set up!

i've been wanting to put one of these together for the longest time (after seeing so many cute ideas on pinterest). it was a HIT! i just got through looking at and editing them all...and i'm just going to say...there are some hilarious ones. 

i love this idea so much.

well...i'm off to take a nap. dancing until midnight and talking until 3am can sure make you feel sleepy. i'll share more later! 

have a lovely sunday afternoon.

xo,
