Shelby [Maternity Shoot]

I had a maternity shoot a few days ago with my best friend. She is so awesome! She's on bedrest right now so it was pushing it to be out at a park, but she did awesome. :) She wanted to do some pictures since her lil boy's projected arival date is getting closer and closer! His first due date was December 6, but now her doctors are saying that he will be here within the next two weeks!

Overall, it was a very fun and relaxed time, I think that the pictures turned out well!

Things That I Love.

Every day I fall in love with new things, here are some:

Vintage/Antique cameras

All things Marilyn Monroe 

Old skeleton keys

Antique/vintage/unique purses

All things floral vintage

Old books

Teddy bears

Old jewelry

Antique furniture

Old bottles 

Antique perfume bottles

Antique binoculars

Old flasks

Vintage/antique smoking items
Lace
Pearls
Vintage signs

Pretty much anything old that's not tacky and/or hideously ugly and pointless

I like classy things.

My two loves: Marilyn and cameras.

Marilyn Monroe & Vintage cameras.

Marilyn, I'm not an obsessed fan. I consider myself to be a fascinated observer. I find her life story just so intriguing! She was truly a beautiful person. I want to continue to collect her for years to come. Her movies are all wonderful to watch. I am most taken by her early films, where she was still largely unknown to the world, but eye-catching nonetheless. Ask me about her sometime, I'll talk your ear off.

Vintage cameras, amazing. When I hold one, I can just imagine looking through someone else's eyes. Someone from 1902 taking a picture of their child in a meadow with my brownie or someone capturing a couple's love with my 1962 Pentax. The words I keep repeating are "Wow, this is real photography." I can't help myself from sharing my love of this with others, and maybe hinting to them that if they ever see an old camera at a garage sale to get it for me. :P
