I’m not sure if it is permanent, but the last week or so my baby, Lorelai, has been taking longer naps in the day. Which has been leaving me with some more time to get things done. Today, was the first day since she was born, that I have felt like I had the time, energy, and excitement to try and manage taking pictures.  I have missed this — doing photo shoots, getting things ready for The Shop. I finally feel like I am getting back into the swing of things. I can’t wait till I can try doing some thrifting again too.

 

I have to keep remembering nothing is permanent — the bad and the good. I’m so happy to have the ability to take care of my daughter and see her grow and flourish on a daily basis. All on top of having the freedom to run The Curvy Elle. I have a great and supportive husband and family.

 

On a non-sappy note — I really like this dress! I found it while thrifting during my pregnant months, but at the time I couldn’t get it on. I still have quite a few items that I collected before having Lorelai that need to be added to The Shop. So, more to come (hopefully) in the near future!

Out Takes: Summertime in January

I came across this vintage color block dress in my closet and figured it was time to say ‘goodbye’ to it. I originally photographed it in June 2013 in a post entitled, “Make-Up Free.”  (Obviously) I am without any make up in this shoot. I loved the basic summer style of this dress so much, that I didn’t want to sell it at the time. Here in California, it is one rainy day, so it’s nice to have a little sunshine from summer to brighten the day!

 

Since having my baby girl, Lorelai, I haven’t been able to do photo shoots and update like before. As she is getting older, it’s get slightly easier to fit in some work (at least this week!). I love taking care of my baby, but I also miss working on my business as much. Here is hoping that this post will give me a jump start back into things!
