The Truth
Thanks @Nicky_PBR! (although they were probably thinking nothing at all, not necessarily wearing dresses all the time!)
cool yourself
Birthday Brunch from Karen Seifert on Vimeo.
I got the camera (Nikon D90!) for Christmas, it’s totally great and I’m really excited to make the most of it. It does HD video which is a completely new realm of media for me, so I’m also excited about learning and playing around with that. (because this one isn’t very good) My own videos on my Vimeo account! Yes!
My 5th Birthday
Celebrating my 5th birthday pre-school style. Obviously the wearing a dress all the time thing started awhile ago.
Thanks everyone who hung out for my birthday! And thanks mom and dad for my new turntable!
Snow snow snow
So this happened this past weekend. Snow for Christmas? Love it. Now I know everyone has been blogging/tweeting/facebooking about the snow but it is pretty awesome. This past weekend was full of serious hangouts with friends, sleepovers, sweet tea vodka, walking to bars in the snow with your best friends, snowball fights, #rvablizzard tweets, movies, blue blankets, wine, Joe’s Inn, igloos, all in all a great snow weekend. But now the snow is mostly half melted and everything left on the skreets are piles of graying matter.
I can’t believe it’s already Christmas Eve Eve. 2009 where did you go?
Liz’s New Year’s Eve Birthday Brunch
It was really fun last year, but maybe we should make sure we have time for naps afterwards. Bring some champagne and some toilet paper!
Also this is the first flyer I’ve ever made!
Space Oddity
This weekend really felt more like a weekend in the holiday season. Friday night the original plan was to go to the Grand Illumination but that started way too early for us to ever really think about making it. We all went over to Hunter and Mo’s new apartment and ate pizza, did Sauce Secret Santa name exchanges (mine is tough) and made our way to a dance party at Cous Cous. Shocking I know.
After the dance party everyone got bewbewbewburritos at Little Mex and Brittany and I slept over at 319. Which was completely planned (sleepover!) because Saturday morning was the Richmond Christmas Parade down Broad Street. We opened their big windows and huddled together with mimosas and pancakes to wave and yell as the parade went by. Darth Vader waved up at us so we did something right.
After the parade ended we all huddled up on their couches to watch the season premiere of MTV’s newest gem “Jersey Shore.” Two hours of hilarity ensued as we all stared and laughed in disbelief at these “guidos” and “guidettes.” I was unaware these people were so self aware as to what they are.
Pretty sure we watched this clip 20 million times.
Sunday at brunch Nick and I decided we wanted to do a photoshoot that evening. I got in touch with Hunter, found a green wig and some sprinkles and we were in business.
Nick has lots of fun toys, including 3 SB-900 speedlights that we could all hook up together with the 1 that I have. We could have lit up a city block!
Oh yeah we used a fan!
All of these I used Nick’s 50mm 1.4, amazing lens definitely need to get one. We had a great time and make sure you check out Nick’s blog for some of his photos too! I’ll probably post more of mine in another post.
Random assorted things:
• Really feeling this guy’s work, especially the Marie Antoinette inspired set. Photographer Jimmy Backius.
• Album cover art.
• Signed up for this pretty cool flash based site that puts all of your internet “things” in one space. Facebook, blog, Twitter, etc. My Flavors!
• Can I add this to my Christmas list?
• Lots of fun fashion shots, and hot girls (for the guys.) J’taime Wildfox.
• Also did you notice? It’s snowing on my blog!
Beautiful friends
A little preview of last night…
Loving this photo. The light is hitting his skin oh so perfectly. Thanks friend!

I did this awhile ago for my friend’s band The Animal Beat. Just always really liked it.
Happy weekend.
