Flux and Flow

Ok. So I visited my grandparents over the weekend down in Louisville for a photoshoot for the family and then the following day consisted of a fall family birthday party since almost my entire family has birthdays in the fall....! It's hard to explain how this weekend felt to me but it was nothing but pure happiness. It felt like the way [this song by Colbie Caillat] makes you feel.

ME: "Dad! Take my camera and take pics!"
DAD: "What why?"

ME: "Dad... I'm a fall birthday.. haha. And we are doing cakes!"

DAD: "Oh, RIGHT!"

SISTER: "Do you know how to use that thing?"
DAD: *death glare* "This is me you are talking to!"

ME: *takes camera back...*



I fell in love with photography all over again this weekend. Like, the way I felt about it back in my mid teens. Just running around capturing happiness in every corner I saw. And this weekend there was a lot of it brewing in my family and it was absolutely lovely to see everyone just loving life and being themselves.







Now Anna is my grandma Mimi's first great grandchild : ) She is in love with the little bug.
And my grandpa Bawbaw brought over his mom, and she even in her older age is still the bubbliest person I know. First thing she said when she saw all her great grandkids (me, my sister, and my cousin Mandy) "Wow! Look at how beautiful you all are! It runs in the family strong ;D"




Now, I'm a huge fan of interior design and architecture. My grandparents just got done building their dream home in a beautiful neighborhood that feels like the streets of some European village. And then you look and see these brand new million dollar homes and you have to do a double take to realize that this isn't some cute European town. The age is always the first giveaway. What gives it the feel though is inside this neighborhood, there is a "downtown village" that has a few small local shops, restaurants, and the like. SO CUTE. Here are some of my favorite pieces from their newest home.




AND WAIT JUST WAIT.......

A STAR WARS ROOM!!!!1

I told my Bawbaw that this room is for me. Not for the little kids. He thought it was funny... but I was serious..! I gave him a bunch of ideas to fill the room with. I'm STOKED to see how it turns out!

Before I go, I wanted to say how much I'm supporting LIGHT's new album called Siberia. It's very different than her last album called The Listening and I was very nervous of it at first but I'm in love with her new songs and sounds! Here is one of my favorites in which I dedicated the title of this post to called Flux n Flow. Listen up!

Happy Fall-Birthday to all of you :-)
You seem to have such a lovely, HUGE family! It's not that common over here. Nice pictures as well. Gotta love that globe in your grandparents' place! :-)

Thank you ;D I guess I do have a pretty big family. Some families put ours to shame tho! Why is it uncommon there to have bigger families?
