A Little Photoshoot And Some Outtakes Included

Warning: This post might be as self indulgent as they come. 

A few of you have left some nice messages about my new profile picture.  I've loved reading them and am so thankful to have such great readers.  I love ya'll, I so so do.  Well the picture is from a little photoshoot that I did last Thursday with one of my best friends, Gray Benko, who just so happens to be a ridiculously talented children's photographer.  Seriously, the bestest.  I'm so lucky to have her in my life.  I really wanted a more professional image on my blog, but you know I never would have hired a stranger to take pictures of me for my blogging hobby.  While Gray insisted to not expect much b/c she only works with children, I think she did an amazing job.  And best of all, posing by myself wasn't so bad.  We had fun.  You'll see...




We seriously took hundreds of images as we walked around downtown.  She just kept snapping while I laughed at the random people watching me (who must have thought I was crazy b/c some of these strangers took pictures of us- oy!).  But let's be honest, I only need a couple of pictures, if not just one.  So these are the ones I'm keeping.  But I love ya'll too much to not share some funny outtakes.  I mean, those are the ones you actually want to see, am I right?!  At the end of our "shoot" we came upon this scooter...


Couldn't help myself.  The people inside the restaurant that it was parked in front of were egging me on, and we had a great time being goofy.


Aaaaand it gets better...


When my husband saw this last one he actually said, "Who do you think you are?!"!!  (In a nice way of course) Ha. 

Here's to awesome girlfriends and just letting go and being girly.  I'm so happy that I'll always have these pictures to look back on.

PS-- Be sure to check out Gray's awesome photography blog.

PS- I have to say though everybody...she is holding out on you. There is another one where she looks like a super fabulous fashion diva, but she is way too modest to post it. Just sayin ;)

I just found (and followed your blog!). I found you through the Style Blogger contest, but am happy to have because I live in Charleston too. I especially love this post because of the scooter photos - I have a scooter. It's the same manufacturer as the one in your pictures (Genuine) but a different model. Super cute pics!
