kcad fashion show

What a busy weekend! I was reunited with Tieka and other fun girls to attend the Bodies of Art Fashion Show hosted by Kendall College, an art school in Grand Rapids Tieka attends. It was at the Brass Works--this cool industrial-ish building and the models were entertaining (think guy with crazy hair strutting down the glittery runway tossing up fake monopoly money.)

I felt like being comfortable so I wore jeans and a loose tee. I just realized everything I'm wearing is BDG. Ha!

Tieka was trying to get a picture of my shoes, but I fell over.

I photographed the girls before we headed inside the Brass Works and I was loving Hailey's free spiritedness when I photographed her. She hopped and twirled about.

I really liked this dress made of shopping bags.

Intermission entertainment was provided by the designers via karaoke. This girl was singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and the guy in front of me busted out his lighter.

Tieka has such a cute nose.

Yesterday, I photographed a wedding which was a blast. Despite the snow, I think I succeeded in getting fun shots outside, which I was worried about. I work with the bride and so a lot of work people were there. I love almost everyone I work with so it was fun to be around a ton of them in a non work environment. The bride and groom's family are both hilarious and entertaining. I felt so unprofessional every time I'd keel over from laughing so hard--either at the groomsmen for saying something completely inappropriate or for the guests--ie old people doing the booty drop on the dance floor. I kept wishing I had a video camera to capture it all.

Love that top! It was on my Christmas list, but I didn't get it. Frown.

P.S. I saw via Little Ocean Annie's giveaway comments that you are a fellow Sedaris fan. Awesome!

What camera do you use?
It would be quite a help

Emily Kennedy said...

I live in Kansas, and have been calling Lawrence, KS my home for the past year, but prior to that I was in SF, CA. Dude, what a difference!

Also, about my earlier comment, one of my good friends in SF was a wedding photographer and he said that most photographers don't really appreciate that particular job. It's refreshing to read about someone who does.
