FLICKR long time no see!
I'm SOO sorry about my long absence, it's been super crazy
I just finished my first semester at Palm Beach Atlantic University studying Marine Biology and I really like it! the ocean is just a mile away so I'm basically in heaven
I have like 123900 pictures planned and now that I'm home in Minnesota I'll finally have time to take some YAY
I went to the woods today to take some selfies it was like 20 degrees...normally not too bad but I had a short sleeved sweater with holes galore
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
LOVE YOU

and if we don’t hide here
they’re going to find us
if we don’t hide now
they’re going to catch us where we sleep
and if we don’t hide here
they’re going to find us
and the spies came out of the water
but you're feeling so bad cause you know
that those spies hide out in every corner
and you can't touch them no
cause
they're all spies

this is Kirst <3

**I recently got a new laptop which has the worst colors and calibration..plus it’s really small..this picture was about 2x2.5 inches on my screen..sooo if you notice any weird coloring or any mistakes please point them out!

thanks to Megan Jean for sending me the awesome texture!

p.s. I’m in Florida for college now! It was awful leaving Minnesota
but onto a new chapter (:

first princess for my Disney Princess collab with Riley and Meg ! I love them so much. <3 check out their versions! I’ve wanted to do Disney Princess pictures since I started photography

I know it’s really cliché with the poisoned apples so I wanted to twist it

this was a nightmare to expand. thank you Riley for spending so much time trying to help me expand it! (credit for caption in beginning of description goes to Ril too)
but it didn’t work on my computer and then I had to suck it up and do it..le sigh. needless to say, I’m really proud of it. thank you also to Katie Leighton for being my dead models (;
you may notice (or not) that this editing is different than my normal look BUT it’s because I just found out that I have tones and curves and adjustments on PSE..I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LIFE FIGURED OUT
the possibilities are endless with those ahhhhhhh wlaekjrlawk

*THANK YOU Sammy, Riley, Olivia ,Diego, Bethany, and Asher for your heart-felt testimonials! I've looked up to these guys since I joined flickr and to receive testimonials from them was so exciting!! check them out!

I’m going to college in Florida really soon and I’ve decided that I probably won’t be able to take as many pictures in college so I have a list of picture ideas and I’m going to try to take all of them! So expect to see more from me in these next few weeks!
I just need these simple props:
-burning house
-fog machine
-legit wooden raft like the one from Castaway
-a train
-a pack of wolves
-an attic with a gigantic window
-an abandoned factory
-a library with a book as big as a desk
-a herd of sheep
-a shot
-woods with dead trees
-woods with luscious green trees
-an ocean
sooo if any of you have these props and would like to lend them to me, I would be eternally grateful

crap I forgot to get rid of my hunchback

~~this will for sure be deleted.~~ EXPLORED FRONT PAGE. now I feel like I can't delete it

I just needed to upload something to tell you all that I will be out of town next week so I probably won't be on at all. unless my new laptop arrives..then that would all be a lie.

I also uploaded this to tell you all that Katie and I are planning a road trip! we REALLY need ideas on where to go in case our current plans don't work out. anywhere gorgeous and not excessively far. PLEASE HELP US. we're almost getting desperate. almost

took this a long time ago, that's why it looks so weird in my stream. please ignore how bad it is.

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent

songpirations#Idon'tevenknow No Light, No Light -Florence + the Machine

listen to this song and look at the picture. it makes it 12x better

I don’t understand why I love creepy pictures so much. I’m not a creepy person…usually (;

I dug this hole in my vegetable garden. It’s actually like 2 feet deep. Perfect fit for a body. I’m super surprised none of my neighbors called the cops.

I’d like to thank my parents for not only videotaping the whole process but also telling all of our friends, family, strangers, etc. about this and now they all think I’m disturbed.
I originally dug this hole for a different picture but I can’t upload or discuss it for various reasons.
THANK YOU KATIE LEIGHTON. She sat in this hole for half an hour with leeches and didn’t complain once. WHY DO I HAVE THE BEST FRIENDS EVER??
The leeches now have a new home in my fridge, although 2 of them escaped. I’ll use the rest for fishing

***THANK YOU Mat for the best testimonial ever. It meant so much to me. Also, Mat loves when you send him song suggestions. He especially likes love songs. So be sure to tell him all about your favorite love songs (;

oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine. you think your dreams are the same as mine
Poison and Wine- The Civil Wars

I found a new location! I'm going to use it a lot now. it's amazing.
Katie got a nasty swollen bug bite doing this with me. I owe her

I need to catch up with everybody!

Instead of going to my senior prom I saw the Avengers. it was epic. I really hate that word but there's no other word to describe it

I graduate in a couple weeks! I'm so psyched. Then over the summer I'll get caught up

Today I accidentally ate a dog treat because I thought it was a girl scout cookie

I was babysitting a 7 year old last night. She has an iPhone, an Apple laptop, an iPad, and a boyfriend. I have none of these. I'm 18

I got two of my pictures accepted on Vogue Italia! this one and this one. I almost fell out of my chair

I FORGOT ALL ABOUT TESTIMONIALS sooo THANK YOU Light in the Air , Mary Jo , Meggie, McKayla, Sam, and Korinne for your testimonials!! I really appreciate it and you guys are all amazing <3
check out their streams!

looks pretty good in lightbox (;

(: I really need to catch up on streams! but right now I'm going to the thrift store (: I love thrift stores. so much. and then tonight I'm going to watch Hercules and make Dirty Rice. best day ever!

I love you with the intensity of the sun behind dark, gloomy clouds.
He said, his words drip with the dark waters he's treading.
I love you with the intensity of the relentless struggle the ocean has, always returning to kiss the shore one more time.
She said, her lips covered in crystal grains of sand.
I hate you so much the only reason must be love. They recite together, all meaning lost at sea.

more of Kyla's amazing poetry! she is also the lovely model who layed on a thin towel on the frozen lake covered in snow..I have the best models (:

you can check out more of her wonderful poetry here!
this is on a really big lake and I had hoped that it would just be ice underneath her but there was snow instead..c'est la vie
I'm super sad to say that I edited this sky in..but it made the picture (:

it's so cold here sometimes I just want to crawl into my dryer...is that weird?
anywayys I know I'm supposed to upload my songspiration picture today but I can't think of any ideas...at all ): so instead of just putting up a picture for the sake of it, I'm going to come up with an idea I can be proud of..hopefully early this week!

uhhh so just discovered an amazing photographer with almost the exact same picture...I just want to say that I had never seen that picture before today so I didn't try to copy said photographer.

and I don't want the world to see me

I’ve missed you all! sorry I’ve been absent…I was touring a college in Florida (: which is why my songspirations picture is 4 days late…lol
It was wonderful! It was like 80 degrees everyday! but now I have 3 tests to makeup and like a billion hours of homework..be back on later to catch up!

this may or may not be situated next to a graveyard...

songspiration six - Drive By-Train

I got a pro account! pretty exciting. I babysat for 5 hours and got $25 so I thought..why not (;
it was 42 degrees today! ahhh. I had my windows rolled down, blasting country music..it felt like spring!

this actually only took like 8 minutes to set up! katie.leighton helped me though!
then we had to wait until the lighting was right...for like 30mins
people watched and stared..but what else is new?

katie and I have telepathy..we thought of almost the same idea...so watch out for hers tomorrow!
oh and thank you katie for letting me use the postcards you made ((:

songspiration five - Going Under-Evanescence

bahaha. I dislike this picture. a lot.

this was quite an embarassing shoot. I went to a park by my house, surrounded by other houses, and right by a playground, so there was a mom with 2 children and their dog. I come out to the middle of the field with jars full of water and the tallies on my arm and my makeup running in one eye with a big black sweatshirt one because it was freezing; and then the people's dog sees me so he started running at full speed toward my setup, and then the family runs over and as they get closer, I can see the creeped out look in their eyes..then they get up close enough to talk to me and the mom just stares at me and gives me suspicious looks as she's apologizing for her dog and then I look over at the little girl and she's staring at me in pure terror. by then they have their dog, so they start to back away slowly and then turn and walk faster and faster until they make it to their car. and then I hear the tires screeching..they drove away so fast! hahahaha...good times. and then another lady was spying on me in her yard. it got pretty awkward...so I left.
yep!

--I'll probably upload some other pictures later to make up for this picture.

OHHH and THANK YOU SO MUCH ariana for your testimonial!! she is such an amazing person, you guys need to get to know her and check out her stream!

The songspiration collaboration is OPEN (: message me if you're interested!
