chloe

this is baby Chloe! I was thrilled to meet her in May, her proud dad (my cousin) is holding her here, that is why she is so happy. Isn't she gorgeous!

i love photo booths (who doesn't)

every year at the fair i arrive armed with lots of cash and my favorite friends. we head to the photo booths first. i have no problem dropping $5 a strip in these amazing little gems from the past, and my friends have no problem making fun of my obsession. every year the price goes up, but they never disappoint. i pray they are still there this year, i can't lose polariods and photo booths, that would be too devastating. 

the polariod photo is actually in front of a photobooth, but still fits the theme.

conner! polariod!

i thought this was fitting since summer is in full swing (at least here in virginia). here is Conner on the 4th of july, 2006. he is the best swimmer i know.

happy accidents

this is what happens when the film (yes, film) doesn't advance as far as it should. you get two (2) pictures in one.

me and my buddies hanging out and being us.

conner in the park

conner is my favorite lil buddy. i have been taking pictures of him since he was born and it is really amazing to look back at his first decade. this is one of my favorites. i will post the rest of the park pictures in a separate post soon :) this is from 2006.

miss daisy

i miss my daisy girl, i moved to virginia and she had to stay in california with my parents. :tear: this is her on my bed, her favorite spot. she still lays in this spot even though its now my mom's office.

chilean liquor

while i was in chile in may of 2008, we visited this incredible little liquor house where this family made these unforgettable flavored liquors. the home was beautiful and i felt like i was in another century. here are some of the photographs i took on that visit.

all smiles

here is a little sneak peek at one of the photos I took of my friends at a party at my parents house recently. don't worry miss cindy, the rest are coming!
