A Bit of Leopard

There’s no better feeling, at least for me, to have almost no plans during a weekend. I had a couple things going on including an indoors shoot for my friend (and gorgeous model) Ashley at her home. I asked her to throw a couple braids in my hair and we went to work. 

I love photographing her and I finally got to check out her cool ass apartment. It’s right by our city market along the river downtown and there is so much natural light it kills me. I want to uproot my life from quaint neighborhood living to downtown. Which reminds me, I’ve been slowly attempting to transform my apartment so that I’m just as inspired at hers. My apartment was built in the 70s and actually has a lot of charm and has a decent amount of natural light, but the light fixtures are a bit dated and the linoleum in the kitchen is bleh. BUT, I’ve ordered new pieces of furniture and plan to update the light fixtures finally, 2.5 years later here.
