Inspirational photo shoot with Raquel Ames Photography

So today started oit like any other day. Except its sunday which makes it football day. Which is quite a fabulous day when the chargers game is away or local and not blacked out! Not that it mattered today.

Anyways i was asked by Raquel of Raquel Ames Photography to help fluff some waves and helpnwith makeup touch ups and lighting spots and all of a sudden im the one in front of the camera! We had talked for weeks and i guess i was wearing the right outfit! 

I did put on some motorcycle boots i bought for our trip to NY cause God knows i have nothin but flip flops and tank tops. It was a nice change. But we had been talking because i am getting back into writing music and singing which was my first love. I gave it up long ago because as silly and loud as i am i actuallu hate all eyes on me. So with my time off ive had a lot of inspirational moments and time to reflect, so all of a sudden i have several songs to put on a demo. So we may end up using these as they were very spur of the moment. 

   Anyways the shoot was inspired by me offering to do a few test shots for REA Photography and she just kept snspping away, ......so as i ice my back, heres a preview of our fun day.

What is the dandy fox?

So the idea for the dandy fox came about around after the time I got married. Well, when I had a wedding should I say. I am a hairstylist and makeup artist by trade so my natural gravitation towards everything pretty is uncontrollable. I spend most of my time working as a full time hairstylist and makeup artist from a kids cut to a photo shoot.
Recently, life has asked me to slow down. I suffer from several degenerative spinal disorders that are usually found in an 80 year olds back. not a 20-something year olds. So while I'm spending all my off time off my feet, I've had quite the downtime to obsess over food, art, weddings, babies, diy and how to pull all these wonderful things off whilst being broke.
I spent a year of my life planning such a huge day. From putting together my handmade invitation suites to mixing paint to get just the right shade of mint for my handmade bouquets, I fell in love with the world of love and art and how blogging has allowed is to share every bit of us that is those things. I am by no means calling myself a fashionista or an artist or anything for that matter. Just a stylist who lives in a little beach town that needs to get a few things off my chest and into a piece of paper. Er.....post I mean. I'm hoping to document thing things that I love about my own life and the little things that I find exciting and interesting. I hope you enjoy this as much as I hope to.
