The other day I spent the day with my awesome friend Kelly.  She recently added some bangs to her hairstyle and every time I look at her I think she looks like a hotter and sexier version of Kim Cattrall from Sex and the City.

We ran around the city trying on wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses, and then went back to her house to pick up her dog Duke to head up to SFU for a mini photo shoot so that I could learn how to use the camera a little more.  I think we were fully expecting to get kicked off campus for having such a huge dog up there, but surprisingly nothing happened.

We started off in the underground parking because it was raining so bad, and also since neither one of us knew the campus very well, we felt the safest there.

Duke loves Kelly, maybe just a little too much!

Eventually we got a little braver to look for the graduation auditorium which I knew was outside and covered.  Once we got there however, we saw that fog had rolled unto the campus, so we had to think of creative ways to capture Kelly and Dukes awesome relationship!

Walking around with a dog up there was quite amusing.  There were a bunch of ESL groups who seemed terrified of sweet Duke (seriously, I don’t think he could hurt a fly), but instead of staying away from him they would make the ’tisk tisk’ sound you would make to call a dog over while shaking their head!  Oh the amount of times I would laugh out loud cause it just looked so funny!  I know I’m horrible!

I had fun crawling all over the ground trying to get the photos that I wanted and also realized how ’soft’ my core actually is!  This last photo I knew would be something that Kelly would love to have.  Like me, she is a lover of shoes and she also loves her dog!

Kelly and Duke thanks for being so awesome!  Can’t wait to do it again, and I hope you find a photo to give to Kevin so that he can take it to work and always see his two special loves!

Driving down the Oregon Coast Hwy relaxing in the passenger seat Adam and I talked about simple things like the weather, or what we’d have for dinner back at the camp site, or if there was enough wind to go windsurfing, we passed by a bright red barn.  My head whipped around as we sped past it, and even though it was just a glimpse of the building I couldn’t get it out of my mind.

The rest of the drive back to the camp ground all I could think of was the red barn and how much I needed to go back there.  Adam was jabbering on about how I should go windsurfing and how we needed to check the wind, but my mind was else where.  We checked the wind – it was dead.  “Good” I thought, “I wasn’t interested anyway.  I want that barn!”  Eventually Adam tuned in that my mind was else where.  I told him about the red barn, and how I wanted to go back.

I wanted to take photos of it, with someone in front of it.  Initially I wanted to ask my windsurfing instructor to be my model, but Adam thought it wasn’t a very good idea since we didn’t know her that well. I very shyly asked Adam to be my model and thankfully he was more then happy to be my first model!

Thanks Babes for being my first model!
