The Curvy Elle: Summer

These Out Takes come from a photo shoot originating in a post entitled, “Summertime Blues” posted on June 28, 2013. I miss this overgrown backyard at my dad’s house. Taking pictures in the shade with all my dogs bugging me while photo bombing my shots (find the dog butt in one of the above pictures?). Now, that backyard is missing the big shady tree that my dad had to have cut down and combined with the severe California drought, a lot of the foliage has dried up. It’s not the same backyard I grew up with until just a few years ago… But, that’s life, things never stay quite the same forever.

Last Days of Summer

August 13, 2014

Yesterday I got my hair ‘did,’ and that means I should utilize my professionally coiffed hair as much as possible. That means — photo shoot day!

These pictures were taken in my mom’s back yard, which used to be my grandmother’s back yard. It was quite fitting to be modeling this Red Coach Bucket Purse, because this was the model purse my grandmother used my whole life. As far as I know, she never owned a red version, but when she passed away she had about a half dozen different versions in different colors, textures, and some with flaps. I kept one and I don’t know what my mom did with the rest. I wish I had kept them all, but at least I had the hindsight to keep my favorite brown one (not pictured).
