Scott and Lindsay

It's always fun to take pictures of friends! Scott and Lindsay are getting married in November and I'm excited to be apart of their big day. I have known Scott for a few years and it's always great to watch friends find someone equally amazing to spend the rest of their lives with! Here are a few of my faves....

Mackenzie

Mackenzie is one of those girls with great skin that doesn't wear make up and still looks awesome. It just works for her...she has that simplistic beauty that most would die to have. Her bridal shoot was a lot of fun...and unfortunately i couldn't be at the wedding, but I hear she was a beautiful bride as well! Here are some of my faves!

My Life=Crazy

I was in Memphis last week for a shoot and catching up with some friends. There is always something about traveling to a new place for me....when the culture rubs up against you and you see things through different eyes....even when it's just a few states away. I always come back with a renewed sense of appreciation for my bed, but a sadness that I can't live in like 50 places at once and experience the diversity that this world has to offer!

There are many more travels to come over the next couple months including Kansas City, Lubbock, New Orleans, and Chicago! Pretty much all work related, but I will for sure manage to have some fun in there somehow! I will post some pics from Memphis this week, but for now I will leave you with a slideshow from Marq and Nina's Wedding which you can find here. Since we just did this wedding in Galveston mid-August I'm a little sentimental that it just got beat up by Hurricane Ike! I'm so sad for all of those people. Anyways, I digress, enjoy the slideshow!

My Dream Job

Ever since I was young I thought it would be such a fun job to be the person that comes up with the descriptive paragraphs on the back of products, like shampoo or body wash. I love to read them...it's a weird little quirk of mine. When you read them you feel like they are going to change your life once you use them. I leave the store feeling hopeful and empowered because in my possession is the body wash that is going to feel like "a gentle breeze fanning my skin with a tingly feeling." Unfortunately I felt no such thing, but it's a nice idea and I did smell really good. So while these products don't change my life, they are still fun to read!
When I started to wear make up in middle school I found a new dream job...naming makeup colors...which leads me to todays shopping venture. Whenever the seasons change...which is only like twice here in Texas...I love to buy new eyeshadow to go with the seasons. This fall I've decided that I'm going to stray away from my normal browns, pinks, and neutrals and link arms with the world of color. So today I stopped off at Nordstrom's (my affections for that store could take up a whole other post) and headed to the MAC counter, and my heart smiled as I looked through the eyeshadow and all their fun names. As much as I hate to admit it, I have even bought eyeshadow before because it had a fun name. I don't suggest making your choices that way! Anyways, I saw names like Swimming, Smoke and Glitter, Aquadisiac, and Digit and while some of them had nothing to do with the color it was attached to...it's just fun. I like to make it a game sometimes and see if I can guess what the name will be.
So that's my current dream job. Just thought I'd share some of the randomness that makes me happy! Below are my new fall colors....Club, Satellite Dreams, Kid, and Satin Taupe!

Have a good weekend!

A Letter to Tyra

Dear Tyra,

The 11th season of ANTM has begun and you are as ridiculous as ever...between you and Miss J I don't know who is more out of control. But your ridiculousness is half the reason I watch the show. The other half would be the awesome photo shoots. So while I have to sit through your crazy shennanigans, like when you chased one of your models while pretending to be a moose or when you get that ultra dramatic tone when you're about to cut someone...it is worth it for some excellent inspiration. I feel like between the cage fighter model and the transgender model you will have your hands full this season...I look forward to the drama. Thanks for never failing to keep me inspired and entertained!

Your Faithful Viewer,
L

An Ode to my BFF for her Birthday

My besties birthday was this last Friday and so I had to give a shout out to her on the blog! If you don't know Kristen there is a little part of my heart that is sad for you because she is one of the best people I know, but selfishly...if you don't know her I'm a little glad because that means she gets to spend more time with me! hehe just kidding....sort of!
Kristen has sat in the pit with me and rejoiced on the mountain top next to me. With her I can laugh or cry, I can be silly or serious, I would trust her to decorate my house or pick out the dress I would wear to my wedding...she knows me that well. With her I can just be me...whoever that is in the moment....and that's not something you find everday. I learn from her on a daily basis and I laugh because of her on most days. She constantly strives to love Jesus more and her husband, Kent. She has recently taken up cooking and has introduced me to many great recipes. She speaks wisdom and truth in times when I need to hear it the most. She loves to go on adventures with me to the mall, the museum, or a new restaurant. She pushes me to be a better version of myself....even when she doesn't realize it. So Happy Birthday, Kris....you're the bestest and 27 looks fabulous on you!

On a not so random sidenote....for Kristen's birthday last weekend we had a Dallas day and tried a new restaurant called Rise Souffle and Wine Bar in Inwood Village and had some amazing souffle's for lunch. The atmosphere was really cool too! So if you're looking for a new epicurean adventure I would suggest Rise!

Server Down

The server that my website is on has been down since last Thursday. I've had my website go down and then go back up and now it's back down again. I also haven't been able to check my email due to this issue as well. They are working on restoring the server, but I will not be able to check my email nor will my website be viewable until they do so. I apologize for any inconvenience and if you need to email me please do so at lindsey.brittain@gmail.com until this problem is fixed and I can get into my work email. Thanks for your patience!
