I have some big news, my husband and I are expecting! After a couple years together as husband and wife we decided it was time to grow our family. Our newest family member, who we have playfully dubbed Poe for now, is well on their way and as of today I am 19 weeks along. I am loving being pregnant and luckily haven’t experienced too many symptoms!
As adults we don’t really get a lot of reasons to have a professional portrait taken. As children, we are photographed a lot, at least once a year at school plus family portraits and kid portraits and a lot by gushing parents and family. But as adults, it’s not so frequent. I love when people come to me for portraits just for the fun of it! Frank decided he wanted some more recent photos of himself, something more causal than his business head shot, something relaxed and easy going. We went to Gallagher Pier along Buffalo’s waterfront. It was the perfect location with a bit of nature mixed in with the industrial and modern lines of the pier, pavilions, and nearby grain elevators.
On Christmas day the weather was surprisingly nice and we had a of couple hours between family gatherings to take a little nature walk. We headed over the Billy Wilson Park in Amherst, a suburb of Buffalo, and walked the boardwalk through the swamp land there. As a kid I used to go to this boardwalk all the time, it’s right by my childhood home. It was fun revisiting it.
It’s winter now, but I am dreaming of summer hiking and exploring parks. Over the summer we went to Como Park in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY. We tried to follow a rather vague trail and kept loosing the path then we wandered through the frisbee golf course to an odd little lighthouse.
For a long time I have wanted to better document my wardrobe, style, and day to day outfits. I love seeing others’ style on blogs and find what we choose to wear can add fun, flavor, and well style to our lives. I also hope this exercise will encourage me to dress up and play with my wardrobe a bit more. I find being so busy sometimes I gravitate to comfy and easy and put my creativity into styling outfits for editorials and conceptualizing fashion features for Auxiliary. That creativity doesn’t always make it to my personal outfits and style. Hopefully this will help me take my outfits up a notch more often than not!
After a date night with my boyfriend we randomly stopped at the Japanese Gardens, right before the rain. to see the cherry blossoms in bloom. I took some photos of the blossoms and this is what I wore.
