but if I lack love then I am nothin’ at all ….
It is no lie that a ton of my posts are based around Lauryn Hill lyrics ; there is just something about that girl – the way she writes, the way she performs – she captivates an audience unlike any other.
This weekend was not particularly interesting – Friday night the boyfriend took me to this little place called Safari by his parents house for a late supper, it had some amazing food, and an even better wine selection. I ate a mixed green salad and drank away, later we found ourselves at an upscale pool hall [which happened to be located in Safari's basement!] A couple of chats here and there lead to a free pool sesh [which I also won], and us heading back home to hang out and watch a film.
These photo’s were taken on Saturday at the golf green [even further north] than where my ma lives. My good friend Nina is a wedding coordinator at this course – it is stunning in the summer, but during its winter and abandoned months – there is something eerily beautiful about the place … Nina promised I get to shoot here in the summer months ; so I look forward to those shots!
If you noticed, I am also using the new fish eye lens I purchased in NYC. EPIC FAIL! Sigh … the clarity is horrible … and the distortion useless. Maybe if I used my 50MM? Sigh … trial and error ; right?
HAT: Vintage – found literally that day in my mums closet [consider it stolen mum]
COAT: Leather Bomber c/o Danier [when my apartment burnt down & I went to Danier to see if they could order me another the manager gave it to me out of pity - lol I'll take it!]
TOP: Esprit
PANTS: BCBG Black Riding Trousers
BOOTS: RUDSAK leather

Look at how adorable you are! I love the abandoned house? What a great place for pictures! We need a play date and like soon…..!
I know! I am very excited. I am going to research places for september – I am thinking of begging a studio to let us use their space.
So fun. Your photo locations are always so fun. I need to take a hint from you and venture farther than my apartment complex area. Big fat booorringgg over here.
Love your hair – you are beautiful, my dear.

I love these photos… and I can’t imagine how beautiful this tiny house must be for summer weddings!
I agree with Erika – you always have the best locations for your photos! Can’t wait to play again in September already!
And I agree with the other girls, too! You always have the most unique and fun locations. Not to mention you always look gorgeous in your photos, too. How nice of the Danier employee to give you another jacket too!
