1930s-50s B&W film photos

For my photo class last semester our final project was to make a photo album or book based on any theme you want. I chose to go for a 1930s-50s photo album look. One of my bestest friends, Lauren Snelgrove, was gracious enough to be my main model for the book; in essence this was "her" photo album from her life. Special thanks to Sarah Montgomery for being a beautiful model as well as Zack Dougherty and Julia Garcia!

While I was hangin' at the Parker's last night I made this little collage. I call it "Pot tery Barn"

Food/ Essen

So this post is all about my favorite thing in the world: Food. I've eaten a lot of good food the past few months, and here are pictures of what I ate, just to make you all jealous. Hahaha, no really I just want to show off the amazing people that surround me who are such great cooks!

Pancake, in the shape of a cloud

Fancy dinner on the Delta King

An amazing birthday dinner for my mama. The tomatoes, cucumbers , and bell peppers are from my mom's good friend's garden. Needless to say, they were the most delicious vegetables I have ever eaten. The BBQed sweet potatoes and garlic bread wasn't too bad either.

Sister is all about eating healthy, so she tried out some Vegan stuffed shells. They're made from tofu and spinach with a vegan vegetable red sauce. SO GOOD. Top it off with some watermelon on the side... yums!

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did eating it all.

My sister Nicole has been living in Rome for the past year. She's home for a month now and we have been enjoying our time together.

Thoughts thinking thoughts

I wish I knew how to put my swirling thoughts into words to make my bloggy blog more interesting, but alas, that's what I have my camera for I suppose. It tells my story.

Some of my favorite as of late. Portland, I can't wait to get you know you better.

Dress up model shoot

My beautiful and amazing German family came to visit me at my home in California! I hadn't seen them for almost two years, but nothing has changed except for Sofie is only an inch shorter than me... (she's twelve). Katharina (8) always loved trying on my clothes back when I was au pairng for them, and she had even more fun with my extensive closet that I have. So, naturally, we did a little photo shoot!

Nice use of my bikini.

This was my favorite outfit! I would totally wear this.

Ah, look at that face!

My little Sofie, who isn't so little anymore!

These girls have so much personality and are so much fun to be around again! I really missed my children! haha. I feel so lucky to have had such a great family take me in as their own.

To all of my seven followers.... I so terribly sorry I have been MIA in like a month... BUT I have some really good photos to share with you all, I just have to stop being lazy and scan them! I am also thinking about revamping my blog and maybe gain some more followers? It's hard to do anything but lay by the pool though during these summer days... I am going to try harder now though! 

I hope you all are enjoying the freedom of summer days as much as I am. 

Bis dann... xx

Can't leave you without a photo... some delicious cornmeal waffles I made...
