I feel really lucky to have a chance to give today. 12 inches exactly. I've been waiting for a long time to be able to donate to Locks of Love. Sometimes when you are running a rad business, it's hard to free up your time to be able to give back to the community as often as I'd like. Growing my hair long was something small I could do every day - a mini rebellion. It feels really good and really freeing to cut off all that hair. It's not that I didn't love it, but it also feels good to reinvent myself a little. It's a visual reminder to give, open up my heart a little more, and take care of myself and my people. Here are my iphone portraits from the day before and at the salon.
la jolla engagement photography : Michael and Rehana
Sometimes the first time I meet someone is at their photoshoot. Although, I had emailed, spoken with, and google skyped (ha that can't be a way you are suppose to say it) with Michael and Rehana before this day, I still felt surprised by their sweetness and laughter when I met them in person. I'm pretty new to video chatting (a-ha) but I'm a fan. It was fun to talk to them in their apartment in Brooklyn. M and R's excitement for the food, dancing, and family came across through the little screen. I could imagine their fusion wedding at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. I just couldn't imagine how genuine and fun they would be in person. I guess it should be no surprise since they were referred to us from our pals Morgan and Joe who are the very definition of awesomeness.
