Peeps, Roses & Red Heads - Oh, My!

As promised, a continuation of my springtime pic-a-nic shoot with my darling, Erica T. :)
I certainly hope you're not tired of her! hehe.

I can't recall if I mentioned this in my last post, but I got to use my maco lens here - which I LOVE but hardly use, to my chagrin (whoa, I think I just used a college word there!). So, I had a ton of fun getting these close ups on Erica and some of the pretty wittle things we brought along on that dreamy spring day.

I'm also happy because the macro helps display her makeup {which yours truly did, hehe} - she can totally pull off the pretty pale purple, don'tchya think?

I tried doing the whole baby doll/geisha lips look: dark red in the center of her lips - pale face - dots of blush per cheek, to give her a dolly/Alice in Wonderland look. Alas, it didn't look too hot once it was done, so we kept it a bit more simple. Come to think of it, the sparkly candy is just enough sugary overload for this shoot anyhow. :)

Enjoy the Peep massacre, just in time for Easter! ;)

You, bite the head off of that sweet, innocent, fluffy Peep, girl!


Yeah, Reeses Peanut Butter eggies!! An Easter holiday snack MUST. ;)


The macro REALLY showed off with the creamy, lusciousness of that cake ... Mmm!






One of my favs.

a springtime pic-a-nic

springtime kind of flew on in around indy - at least on certain days lately - on THIS day in particular!
thank the heavens it did on this lovely end-of-march afternoon because i've been DYING to do a shoot {without freezinnng my bum off! ;) }.

my GAWGEOUS model pal, erica t. and i planned a shoot this day, crossing our fingers for dreamlike weather like this and brainstormed a picnic-ish sort of alice in wonderland-esque scene ... once the theme was decided i prayed for great weather, and ran around my house, rumbling around for kitschy, cute, picnic materials {ha}.
stuffed animal picnic partners were a must, and fortunately we could both supply those - dorky, eh? :)

then, i hopped over to the market {yes, market} for some pretty, scrumptious sweets for erica and i to play with in the shots - YUM. i must say, we had a GRAND ole time chowing down on reese peanut butter eggs, fresh multi-coloured peeps, iced cookie and gooey cakes! ::smacks lips at the memory::

i took some shots in other locales, so stop by again soon to check out those darlings! ... McDonald's and jumping are involved ... ;)

enjoy the sweetness, just in time for Easter!

here, erica t. is imagining she's a snooty heiress ::laughing snootily::. :)


i picked up this cutie cake simply because i adored its polka dots!


raspberry-chocolate cake joy on her face. :)



this cookie was ridiculously DELISH!

all spun out.

revving up for a little spinsy ...

blurring images on purpose is one of my favorite little experimental things to do, as i get better with low light, etc. {which is tough! :) }
whilst shooting at Gusto pizzaria the other week, i had Erica do some spinning to see what we could capture.
i quite like the end result ... let me know whatchya think, kids!

tired of erica yet? :P

thanks for stopping by!

xoxo


FAV of this little set, haha.


i love how free she looks here. :)




one of my favs!

In the Pizza Joint {with Erica T.}

i'm not obsessed.
i just have Erica-a-plenty o' photos!! harhar. :)
ok. i know
i'm a big dork, but how can i not share pics of my loverly pal, Erica, eh?

here, we have her in a blessed pizza joint up in the beloved fountain square .
unfortunately, this evening we had quite a tough time finding an establishment that would let us shoot within its quarters - even for 5 minutes!!
you see, it's winter (still, YUCK) and i couldn't have my dear model freeze to death - especially in such CUTE duds. ;)
fortunately for us, Gusto was a funky-awesome place to shoot {and next time, we'll actually find time to manger there - we swear it!}.
THANK YOU, GUSTO !!!!
{MAN, their food looks DELISH!!! the artwork displayed there isn't too shabby, either ;) }

until next time ... ENJOY!

xoxo



this is her 'i'm hungry - let's pause for pizza' face. :P


work it - work it.
