Flickr account update + family pictures

FINALLY I updated my flickr account so I can upload as many pictures as I want for the next year or so! Lovely!

A week ago I took some pictures for a family. A husband, wife, an eight year old and a 2 month old. I enjoyed it a lot, the people were so nice and kids behaved so good! I'm not gonna bore you with any details, I'll just show you some of the pictures:

Srsly, I'm pretty sure this is some of my best work yet. I'm so proud! :-D Of course, the models were beautiful as well. How gorgeous is the mother?
Some other pictures I took recently:

I'm gonna leave you with the thought that I'm now basically half blonde, half brunette. I'm loving it. I might be posting some outfit pictures on my blog as well, like I do on chictopia. I'm not sure yet, I'll see.

'I left home just a week ago
and I never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
She said: Little boy, I'm gonna make you a man'

I love you, The Kinks.

Trip to the florist

I love flowers.
If I had to pick a favorite thing to take pictures of, it'd be flowers/nature.
I love doing portraits as well but sometimes I just want to get lost inside my own mind while being creatively active, walking past fields of flowers, cows mooing, horses galloping, the wind whispering, the watercolor-like clouds in the sky and the smell of wet grass always makes me think, just for a moment, I jumped into a painting made by Bert and Mary Poppins by accident.
Nature makes me happy. I'm a little in love with it, I think.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the florist. I was very happy to hear that I could come and take pictures of their flowers because, WOW, that's A LOT of freaking flowers. I made some pretty nice pictures:

(this one makes me think of vanilla!)
(this one's my favorite)

(these flowers are called "bleeding hearts", beautiful, right?)

(I wish I had a dress made of these flowers, I love the color so much, so fragile and soft.)
