Conversation Hearts
Valentine’s Day is not my favorite holiday by any stretch of the imagination.
I never wanted to be the type of person who flaunted my happiness in my relationship as other people suffer or are lonely. I always hated people like that when I was single!
Not to mention the corporate card and flower industries that lurk behind this insidious holiday!
The most interesting thing about Valentine’s Day to me (besides trying to make coherent thoughts from conversation hearts) are the valentines that people make. My personal favorite are these Skyrim ones (as I am obsessed with Skyrim and a huge Elder Scrolls nerd):

I wish I would have thought of making these brilliant v-day cards!
everything in tens
The storm brewing in your head. Is it any easier to forget?
I think we are all made of contradictions. It’s something that I struggle with.
I think sometimes, when fighting our demons, we can lose part of our identity. Maybe that part is not actually… lost. Maybe she got thrown in jail for ten years for bad behavior. Maybe I hoped that if she would just shut up so that I could have a “normal” life.
Well… it’s time to face the facts. I can’t just work a normal job and have a normal house and normal kids and a normal life and be a normal person and feel fulfilled. It’s not who I am. It’s not what I want. I’ve pretended that this could work for me but it really doesn’t.
I have to create things whether I like it or not. It’s so easy to lie to yourself. But now, I have to be honest.
Because…
Life is arbitrary. It’s random. You or I or someone that you love could die at any moment. I have seen it. I have fucking been there. I am not going to hold my breath and wait for the stars to align. I have to do the best I can to get the most out of every moment. To be the best and most authentic version of myself that I can.
We only have a finite amount of time.

I met up with some old high school friends for the latest photoshoot!
On this cool autumn day, we wandered around the Arb and Island Park in Ann Arbor taking pictures. It was very serene and relaxing, the leaves and water were so beautiful!
Halloween Leftovers

Just posting a few pics from Halloween, I guess the biggest problem with hosting a party is that you are too busy to take very many pictures! I’m still hoping we can get another few weeks of the beautiful color changes in autumn…

The Hipster-esque Photoshoot with Christine

Christine is not only a lovely and photogenic model (as you can see in many of my photos), but also she is an artist herself and has helped to assist with many of the photoshoots that I’ve done over the summer. She works to help those in front of the camera feel more relaxed, helps with thematic elements, hairstyle and make-up ideas and more.

My good friends Becky and Mike are going to be married on June 1st, 2012!
As a little pre-wedding gift, I offered to take engagement photos for them. Although it was a yucky, rainy day, we still got a few nice photos between the showers. Here are a few of my favorites.
