Thursday can’t seem to get here fast enough!

Waikiki Beach…Go on, kick your shoes off and relax for a while. You deserve it!

Decor Dislikes:
I have a confession to make….I loathe anything that remotely resembles a rooster. There, I said it. Dinnerware, flatware, dishtowels, baskets….the list goes on and on. I’ve even taken a strong disliking to refrigerators that have the petrified animal roosting on top. I know, it isn’t the refrigerators fault. It just seems to me that it would be unsafe to put a rock with legs where it could fall off and render one unconscious. With that being said, it’s safe to assume there won’t be any hazardous roosters in the studio.

Decor Likes:
Movable walls, concrete, steel, glass, black, white…Yesterday, my friend Julie called my taste slightly “sterile”…I think she’s onto something. I do love the clean look of a bright, airy, white room…but on the other hand, there’s something about a black couch with delicate legs on a concrete floor that screams “rich” and “anchored” to me.

Which color palette do you prefer?

A little dark, but I still loved it.

J and I were on our way to lunch yesterday when I remembered I needed to update my location on google maps. I’m officially a photographer in Acadiana. A Lafayette la photographer to be exact. I’m really enjoying having this interactive map on my blog and if you’re wondering what I’m doing right now….I’m playing with the interactive map

Hello world! I received a sweet little reminder today that I haven’t posted in a while so I’m making up for it tonight. For those of you who didn’t know, J. and I celebrated our two year wedding anniversary weekend before last. I know….awww…and we celebrated by designing a live/work loft which will be our future home as well as the studio of Elite Photography Inc. I know…YAY! The project is definitely in the infant stages, but I’ll be posting more as it grows. For now, I’m still trying to get all the pieces of eraser out of the carpet and prepare for our busy season!
