Graveyard Shoot

I woke up this morning at 5:45am to get ready to take pictures of Miriam in a graveyard near her house. Her friend, Ally (who I met very briefly at the Halloween party), was there helping with hair and posing. They also gave me a punk kind of make over. But for now I will simply post a few of my favorites featuring Miriam:

The photo above resulted in a very nice Ashley Tisdale expression. It wasn't even really part of the shoot as it was when Miriam changed tops and did touch ups on her makeup. 
It was really nice getting to do this shoot. For a long time I had wanted to do one in a graveyard (during the day). I hadn't honestly photographed anyone since her for Christmas. The beginning was kind of nerve racking, but the more we worked, but more accomplished we became = Successful day!

I wish I had taken a few more behind the scenes photos, but I got this one of Miriam getting her hair fixed by Ally. And me posing with her after the shoot, which makes me look like a fan getting a picture while on set during a music video! :)

I very much enjoyed being able to spend time with Jordyn and James. I made sure to bring our T2i to Ormond beach to get shots specifically like this.I got these cute ones of James on Monday. (The photos may look a tad grainy - I had to use a high ISO, 3200, because he was moving a lot and didn't want blurry cuteness.. just clear cuteness!)

I look forward to the conversation (in a few long years) when Michael finally agrees that we can create a tiny new life together! I don't think "ready" is the right term because I don't think anyone is ever ready just because it is such a completely new/huge deal, but a very special one.

Are you getting tired of my plant photos? If so, I'm sorry.

 
Today was an errands day and included more of too much sleeping. Michael slept until 3pm, but that's okay because he really needed it. I have gone to Target at least four times since yesterday. Michael has been wanting a few Blu-Rays so I bought those for him and we watched them. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Bridesmaids. I have tomorrow off too. I think we are going out to eat and seeing The Hunger Games in the afternoon.
 
I'm having some issues with my hair. I didn't like that the lady thinned it out with her cat fur scissors. I should have cut it myself like old times. I'm sure I won't get it cut again before the end of the year. I have to put gel and hairspray in it for me to like it. Also, I dyed it black - not blonde. Here is a mini-Polaroid of me and the sweet hubs. He is working again on a sculpt (to create a prosthetic out of) for the Teen Wolf costume he is making for a guy. He made the ears last week and I want a pair for myself! They look like elf ears, but are accurate, matching to the ones made in the 1985 movie.
