 7 40 a.m. And it is September 6th I am currently at the domain because I am doing a photo shoot today with two girls from UT and This whole week has kind of been filled with free shoots. So basically this whole time. I was here in Austin. I just kind of had a really bad mentality of You know getting into the photography and videography space like my work's good enough I should be being paid, but now I'm realizing that it's way harder than What I had before in Orlando obviously I was in Greek life and like I built up my reputation for four years in that same City, so it's just not the same here in Austin, which obviously Sucks. Honestly, it's kind of fun to do shoots for free because there's not much pressure on you I mean my photos are like pretty good I will say but but I feel like if they're not paying you can kind of take it and run with it like you can Do something different and not just like a senior session or graduation photos and like the you know, usual spots So that's why we're here at the domain today. So on Wednesday, I think I shot with four girls from UT They were all seniors and in sorority So I'm just trying to kind of like get my name out there in Greek life and just on campus in general for when it comes time for graduation sessions and then Thursday I shot with someone really cool Have you guys watched Bachelor in Paradise or the Bachelor? Well the bachelorette I shot with Cam from Hannah's season He was a contestant on there and he was just on Bachelor in Paradise You guys probably have heard of like always BKM or ABC That's who that was And so many people were like DMing me because I posted some boomerangs of him yesterday on my stories So many people were like, oh my god, how did that even freaking happen? And I was like I Shot my shot and I like went for it kind of like it's so weird because I'm basically cold calling all of these people that I'm shooting with and Asking them if they want free photos for like in in return for some exposure So basically I'm just asking for them to tag me in all the photos that they do post and I honestly just spread my name in the Austin area. I'll put a few pictures of that shoot here And I think it went really well. We just did it all around South Congress So all like the cool walls and stuff and I will say it's definitely a lot harder posing boys and it is Like a little bit more uncomfortable. I'm just so used to working with girls and like Having like girly poses or like touch your hair or like soft smile Well, I guess boys can still soft smile, but you know, I mean like it's just way easier to do it with girls But I think it went pretty well for how like nervous I was not nervous because he was like Cam But nervous because I just suck at posing boys So like I said today, we're at the domain Which is a nice change because I did both of the last two shoots at South Congress And if you guys don't know what South Congress is it's just like a street with all these shops and restaurants and super cute like Backgrounds and just like the whole street is like so aesthetically pleasing So and the domain is an outside shopping center, but again, it's also very aesthetically pleasing There's like so many like little like green walls and not green walls You know, I mean plant walls and then there's like the iconic like little murals over there like near Kendra or not Kendra Scott What is it called? Not the day not the day planner, but like the Dammit the planner store. I don't know. I always want to vlog during these shoots But then I'm so like concentrated on You know doing well on the shoots and like focusing my energy on Taking the photos, but there are two girls So I might ask one of the girls to take footage behind the scenes while the other ones going I did get an Amazon package. I worded this like two days ago and it is a camera bag I'm currently using my dad's Camera bag that I found in his closet and he wasn't using but it is so chunky and so big and just so like Not like it doesn't feel comfortable to me. It's like a sling thing and not like two Straps, so it's just very like awkward for me. So I got a new camera bag. Hopefully it's good enough So I can use it today It's like so much smaller than the other one Which is good because I feel like my camera gear isn't even that big. All right. This is what it looks like And this is what it looks like compared to my head And it has like a little water bottle thing I'm gonna open it up And the other one is so confusing it has like so many frickin zippers everywhere I was like, I don't even know where these first lead to so like half the time on my shoots I'm like trying to find the zipper to my lenses, but Hopefully this will streamline things. This looks perfect and simple just how we like it we have some like kind of cases over here for miscellaneous like SD cards and Batteries and all that looks good And I feel like the drive back felt so frickin long Which was weird because on the way there I was like driving through work traffic So I thought I'd be like longer that way on the way home I actually stopped and got my face threaded I've pretty much always gotten my eyebrows threaded But I just recently started getting my face threaded and you guys probably know if you guys watch my vlogs I do or I used to wax my face I just realized that I should probably just pay someone to get it done way faster and like better So she threaded it and it was so fast. It definitely hurt pretty bad But I would like to think that I have a high pain tolerance So I did well, but I was a little squeamish So I mean they are kind of like still kind of high, but whatever I also just went to the leasing office because my sister Called me or texted me and she was like, did you get it? And I was like What and she was like, I sent you something. Did you get it? I was like, I Don't know. I don't think so and so I last night I actually got an Amazon package delivered and I was like, oh my god I got it because I got like a code from my leasing office But then like two seconds after that I tech I got a text from Amazon and it was like delivered So it was the Amazon package basically the package was too big to fit in like the lockers in our leasing office So the leasing agent had to just hold it to the side and they forgot to email me So I had to hunt that down today, but it's massive that big box right there So I think I'll do a little unboxing for you guys because I have no idea what this mystery box is story I'm I was like literally looking into getting like some kind of like crock pot. I'm guessing this is a crock pot This is a cooked food up to 70% faster I find recipes that are like crock potty wise. Maybe it's like the same thing, but buttons for oh my god That's funny. It has buttons for like bean chili or meat stew And I was just telling Ryan that I wanted to make beef stew Kitchen appliances, thanks Nisha Ever since I got like a kitchen back because if y'all watched me for a while You know, I lived in my sorority house with no kitchen because we had meal plan so ever since I got like a kitchen after college I've been obsessed with cooking and Just like honestly like trying different things out So this will be a very fun new toy. I'm guessing those are recipes. That would be nice It's heavy. I could probably cook rice in here and I don't know how to cook rice We've been using like minute rice and I feel like my My parents would be very ashamed if they knew that so if you guys are watching. I'm sorry family I honestly really want to get more into Cooking Indian food and I wanted to make what was it pork curry? I want to make pork curry So I feel like this could be a really good Gadget for that. What do you call this like a pot? Shout out to my sister for getting this for me. Yay. I'm so excited. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Nisha I'm gonna take Sophie out shower Do all that sort of thing but right now I actually have the photos from today's shoot Importing on my computer while I do all that stuff because sometimes importing takes so freaking long I don't know why also insert some of the pictures from this shoot in here as well. I I Just showered everything super noisy because I'm doing the dishes and cooking Ryan's actually gonna come home for his lunch break. Sometimes I don't Well, I haven't been making him lunches because he won't freaking tell me what he wants like so when we're at the grocery store He's like, I don't I don't need lunch. I'm like, yes, you do like I don't know. Anyways, he's coming home for lunch So I'm gonna make quesadillas because we have some leftover like onions and I'm currently heating up chicken It came in like this little chicken packet that you just heat up. It's probably not healthy at all But super freaking easy So I just heated that up and then I'll put that in the quesadilla with the leftover like onions and stuff like that Just made a peach smoothie I don't know if I told you guys this but we're going to San Antonio this weekend Because there's John Mayer concert and Ryan is obsessed with John Mayer and his watch collection But he loves John Mayer He was like singing all his songs yesterday and I think he came out with another album like last night I don't know why but anyway, so before like a trip I Tried to get rid of a lot of food and eat a lot of the food. That's gonna go bad So that's why I made a peach smoothie because I bought peaches And I just get really excited in the grocery store. I just want to buy everything But then I end up like not remembering I even have it so throw it in the smoothie And then I'm just gonna try to Mix everything else in through our food today. I made some quesadillas Yeah, peaches and prosciutto now Metal things from my boots I'm gonna keep them from wearing So walk weird from wearing They're gonna keep them from like getting destroyed right just here using my limbs as Like it's not good with the hammer right next to my face very brave for this I already got a stain on my white shirt Ryan pointed out I Got it. I have literally been fighting the earth to sleep it is currently 3 o'clock and I haven't taken an app yet, but I Yet, I really do want to take an app I still have yet to pack for San Antonio So you really need to do that But like I tried to go over to my packing cubes and like start to like put things in a pile But I was just not feeling it. So then I went on the couch and started editing Today shoot and I finished up Cameron's pictures And sent them over to him. So now I'm gonna do the girls that I shot today Michelle and Cameron but I Remember that I have to give Sophie a bath because Taylor is taking care of Sophie for the weekend and Obviously, I want to give her a clean dog. So I'm gonna give Sophie a bath real quick and I'm hoping that will wake me up Who's ready for a bath Sophie? You want to treat? Oh I knew it. She always comes out when you say treat You're sweepy. I'm sweepy too You ready for a bath? Come on Let's go get in a bathtub. Come on. She'll cute It is currently 7 p.m. And we are on the road to San Antonio It's like an hour and 20 drive.

If you buy a Datejust, usually it has a confluted bezel Okay, nah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know why I asked I was really flustered from like 3 p.m. to now and I just like could not freaking get myself to walk because I was like, I don't know I was getting really hot like I was just consistently hot for like four hours Right, I tried to turn the AC now so after Ryan left for the lunch break I felt so tired. Like I was just like instantly hit with like this sleepiness and I was gonna take it out But then I was like no, so I don't waste time like you have so much to do So I didn't take a nap But I still didn't get it all done But anyways, we're here now. We left at Like I don't know 645 or something like that. I usually get super excited about like trips to other cities and like I always have this giant itinerary like to the like second and This time for some reason I didn't do that Like I don't it just like doesn't feel like I'm going to San Antonio, I guess but like the only thing I know to do there is the The river walk, but I honestly I'll just I'll post on my Insta story I'm just be like anyone have any San Antonio Rex. I'll do that now I dropped Sophie off at Taylor's and literally it was so weird because I put her bed in the car And she like hopped in and hopped up on the chair and she never does that and I was like You try like I know are you trying to get away from me like so rude Sophie
