"Dun Dun Duuuuuun!!!!"

Hi everyone!

So, I'm officially done with my portfolio and have submitted it and I have to patiently await my portfolio review process on June 2nd or 3rd. (hence my title)

I haven't been showing you all that I have been up to because of time restrictions and things of that nature, so here they are...my commercial work and a couple of portraits you've yet to see.

Chelsy's Visit

Chelsy's trip to Massachusetts was a success! 

She arrived last Wednesday afternoon.

Luckily enough, Chelsy (one of my best friends from Texas), is going to school to be a photographer also, so she was joyfully entertained while I had to go to school on Thursday and Friday.

So, on Saturday we:

Went to the Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory!

One of them invaded Emily's face-space...she wasn't pleased.

Chelsy LOVES butterflies!!!

Chelsy & Emily

A lot of the butterflies were gracious enough to pose for a picture.

A hitchhiker on Chelsy's shoulder...

The butterflies were attacking Emily..

But you're not supposed to touch the butterflies..

The beautiful blue one refused to ever land long enough for a picture..

Except for this one time when it landed on Chelsy's shoe, but only showed it's wings for fractions at a time. 

This is pebbles...a lizard of some sort.

I love this one, very beautiful!

Before heading to Boston, we decided to take some photo-ops near these beautiful train cars in a field of wildflowers. lol...how cliche does that sound??

When we got off the subway there were some people gathering to protest the war.

Chelsy grabbed a flyer and bought some peace earrings and a necklace to add to her huge ever-growing collection. 

This homeless man and his pet squirrel!

Some street performers, Black Guys Dancin' & An Asian (that's what they called themselves), were getting ready to perform. 

They were pretty cool..

This guy was hilarious and had great facial expressions!

This guy walked through his group-members on his arms...

And this guy was going backwards through them...

There was a really cool brick archway that I decided to take advantage of.

Chelsy & I

A one man band! :) Pretty good, too!!

Spectators of all ages..

We stuck around here so long that we missed out on the MFA in Boston. Why they close @ 4:45 on a Saturday afternoon is beyond me!

So, we left around 7:30 and hit up an Applebee's  and called it a day.

But before she had to leave on Sunday, we stopped by Shelburne Falls, so she could see the Glacial Pot Holes and visit the Candle Shop right next to it.

I was really glad she came to stay for few days!!!

See you in June, Chels!

To everyone else: 

Have a great week!!

Insert witty title here:

Good news: one of my best friends, Chelsy, is coming to visit this week.

She'll be flying into Hartford, CT @ 3:30 on Wednesday and I'm sooooo incredibly excited!

When I moved up here I had quite a few people who promised to come visit me.

I didn't believe a single one of them. 

Everyone overestimates the time they have, or money for that matter and to make a long story short, no one (with the exception of my sisters and my brother-in-law) have visited me this year.

I loved it when my sisters and brother in-law came! We went to Salem, Boston, Plymouth, Cape Cod, etc... 

Anyways, I'm happy that at least one of my friends has followed up on their word.

I'm not sure what we're going to do, except I know that I will be singing on Thursday night for Karaoke at Hallmark.

We're raising money for the Breast Cancer Foundation, so if you're in or around the area of Turners Falls, MA, come on down!!! (said in a very Bob Barker type of way...the Price is Right is nothing without him btw).

Well, I don't have any portfolio shots prepared to show, but I will show pictures of when my sisters came to visit me back in October.

Me and my older sister, Chrystal (it was much colder in October..lol)

Me and my twin sister, Jodi, at my house...

Me & Chelsy, my friend that'll be here on Wednesday!!

Thanks for reading, and I promise once my commercial shots are edited they'll be up for your viewing pleasure!! :)

Have a great week everyone!

I hope that's not completely true, because a lot of what I see is complete crap. :/
