Out Takes: That Light

There’s a certain light that comes out in the warmer months in the late afternoon. It’s right before the sun starts to set, and if you time it just right, you can get some beautiful pictures thanks to the angle of the sun. You can see this in these pictures that come from a photo shoot from last year.

It’s most definitely spring around here in California, if not closer to summer in temperature. I’ve decided to do a little “spring cleaning” around The Curvy Elle Show Room & Studio.

Not every vintage item you thrift will end up working out– be it damage that went unnoticed initially, ill fitting and not trying on, not selling, the list goes on… These items add up over time, and I (eventually) need to let go of the unwanted or unneeded. It’s like a load off (metaphorically and realistically) getting rid of these items that were taking up room, but it is hard to let go of something you thought would work out. I have to continually keep reminding myself “DO NOT GET EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO THE CLOTHING!”  I am much better at doing this now, but it still takes a conscious effort to keep on top of it. It’s hard to say “goodbye…”  Yes, even to clothing.

Today is my grandmother’s 88th birthday. I am lucky to still have her in my life. Days like today make me thankful for making the decision to move my life back home to California from New York. There is only so much a job can do for you, but your family is forever. They’re the ones who you’ll remember 20 years down the road when your old job is just a blip on your memory radar.

Here are some Out Takes from last Spring. The post was up almost exactly one year from today, entitled “Spring has Sprung.” I have to say–this is one of my all time favorite shoots, so it is fun to share some of the other great pictures from this shoot!
