<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Five days ago one of my favorite people in the world gave birth to a sweet baby girl. I am so lucky to have been able to photograph her throughout her pregnancy & I am quite anxiously awaiting the day I get to finally meet the little lady & do our first out of the belly photo shoot! I am so proud of you, Lyndsay & can't wait to see you blossom on your journey through motherhood. </span></span></div>

I photographed my first bigger
wedding this weekend & I am so pleased with how everything turned
out. It was such a fun & fulfilling experience. I absolutely cannot
wait to do another! At first, I felt nervous knowing I was going to be
held accountable for capturing all the fleeting, beautiful moments that
happen on someone's big day, but then I reminded myself that I had
photographed a mother giving birth & I knew that if I could do that,
I could certainly do this. I cannot express enough how much i adore
being a photographer and documenting people's lives. </div>

<u>2013 GOAL PROGRESS UPDATE</u><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-<i>finally open my </i></b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/fawnandfern" target="_blank"><span style="color: #668844;"><i><b>etsy</b></i></span></a><b><i> shop</i> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The main task I need to complete to accomplish this goal is to build my inventory. I have been working on the weekends to have a stock pile of creations to fill my store with & so far so good! Slowly but surely...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>- pursue my interest in videography</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently purchased a new computer with a much better video card/faster operating system than my five year old macbook pro & my awesome boyfriend hooked me up with some sweet video editing software. i have been spending time playing around with video & i am so stoked about the possibilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-shoot more film. since i finished college, my poor film cameras have been neglected.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't say I've made too much progress on this goal, BUT i did find an old roll of film & set it aside for the weekend(or soon...summer!!!) day when i remember to pick up my old cameras & capture all the fun that comes with these beautiful seasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-re-open mine & nick's</b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/thirdhandthrift" target="_blank"><span style="color: #668844;"><b> etsy shop</b></span></a><b> from 2010 that we got too busy to maintain</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
haven't made any progress on this one...oops! honestly, i'm not going to feel bad if it doesn't happen. between the many different things nick & i pursue, we have enough on our plates!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-continue & further my personal study of midwifery</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i am pretty ecstatic about what i have accomplished so far on this particular goal. my original resolution to further my personal study of midwifery has blossomed into me studying to become a certified doula! I am officially training with a wonderful doula, Nicolle, at <a href="http://www.birthbydesignconwaydoulas.com/index.html" target="_blank">Birth by Design</a>...and I have already attended my first birth(more on that soon!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-get back into my yoga groove that was once so solid</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have been attending more yoga classes this year(mostly with one of my best friends, Dana, but also occasionally with Nick but I cannot make it through a session without cracking up if he is with me) and also doing more yoga at home in the quiet of our home. still have room for improvement, for sure!<br />
<b> -finish my first quilt</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
quilt top is complete!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I am feeling pretty good about the progress I have made on these goals! As I enter the last week of my first year of teaching, I'm honestly impressed with myself for balancing all I have balanced this year. I love being busy & finding fulfillment in a wide variety of things.<br />
<br />
keep on keepin' on!</div>

what they say about Belgian chocolate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Belgian beer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Belgian waffles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& Belgian frites is true. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
during my time there, i threw out any notion of eating whole foods & completely indulged. i ate way too many orders of "frites" (by far the best fries i have ever had in my entire life) with curry ketchup from countless street stands & certainly put down a few too many belgian beers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it.was.amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one of the days i find most memorable from my entire trip was one spent in Brussels, Belgium. we were couch-surfing with an old man in the town of Linkebeek just south of Brussels. he was quite the character. when seeing his name (which i can't remember at this point) on the couch-surfing website, we pictured a wee old man in a wool vest, not unlike the likes of a hobbit. so you can imagine our surprise when a six foot three, burly, older man in a leather biker vest picked us up at the train station. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we left his home around noon to catch the train to the city. our first stop was a waffle stand. i couldn't be in Belgium without eating one of their famous waffles. soon after, we discovered a real gem of a vintage shop where i picked up some very old postcards and photographs for my collection, as well as some ribbon to make a camera strap with (still on my to-do list.) we decided that this day would be open for exploration. we would do whatever felt right at the moment (i suppose most days of those two months were this way to some degree, but this one felt especially so.) we eventually found ourselves on a street bustling with bars & cafes, drinking delirium beers, meeting new people, and acquiring pink elephants(the mascot of the beer we were drinking) from our waitress.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
after spending what seemed like two hours sitting beneath belgian flags & listening to musicians busking about, we left to explore the city in our day drunken state (Belgian beers are MUCH stronger than typical american beers.) </div>

we peeked into a chocolate shop just before hitting the train station to head back to meet our couch surf host who had promised to show us the forest just outside of the city later that day. we noticed a frite stand across the street from the station and ran over to pick up an order. my first taste of this deliciousness. we devoured them & laughed at how we would have to keep the fact that we had tried them a secret from our host, who had said he wanted to take us to the "best stand around" to try them for the first time. we played that one off quite well in the end, acting like we had never tasted anything like them, when we actually had just hours before.</div>

one of the best parts of the day was when we went to the forest- the rich, mystical forest i would not have known existed had we not been staying with a native. i never thought i'd be taking a hike in a forest during my visit to Brussels, but i will jump at any opportunity i have to pretend that i'm a woodland creature, so i was quite content.</div>

i traveled just a bit(though not nearly as much as <a href="http://torihouston.blogspot.com/2011/09/glimpse-of-my-summer-backpacking.html" target="_blank">2011</a>!) completed my <a href="http://torihouston.blogspot.com/2012/05/four-years.html" target="_blank">bachelor's degree</a>, landed my first art teaching gig, & moved in with Nick just weeks before our five year anniversary. even when change is good, as mine certainly all was, it can still be overwhelming to experience it all in such a condensed period of time(all of this literally happened in a matter of 3 months) but i continued to think of one of my favorite yogi quotes during my months of rapid change: </div>

i am so very excited to see what 2013 will bring. i am feeling some major positive vibes about the year ahead. i got a late start on deciding what i would like my goals to be for this year (didn't write any down until new years eve) but i do have a few things i would like to focus on/accomplish this year:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-finally open my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/fawnandfern" target="_blank">etsy</a> shop (i set it up nearly three years ago, bout damn time)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- pursue my interest in videography</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-shoot more film. since i finished college, my poor film cameras have been neglected.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-re-open mine & nick's<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/thirdhandthrift" target="_blank"> etsy shop</a> from 2010 that we got too busy to maintain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-continue & further my personal study of midwifery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-get back into my yoga groove that was once so solid<br />
-finish my first quilt(a baby one i started in the summer) & perhaps make a few more. special thanks to my mad quilter of a momma for teaching me! ; )</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
A year and a half ago, I set off to Europe for two months to backpack across the continent. I visited nine countries. I met a countless number of people. I fulfilled my wanderlust (though now it is back again.) I realized just recently that the reality of what I actually experienced is just now beginning to sink in. In the moment, there is so much going on-so many emotions & new sights, smells, sounds, feelings- that it isn't always easy to see it all for what it's really worth. Now that I have had time to separate myself from the intensity of it all, I really see how truly freaking mind blowing that adventure was. I have not shared much about my trip on this blog- really only a snippet <a href="http://torihouston.blogspot.com/2011/09/glimpse-of-my-summer-backpacking.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I decided today to begin a series in which I would share simple stories & photographs from my adventures.</div>

We were laying on a secluded Portuguese beach, one that lined the cliffside, & feeling absolutely at one with the world. Well, I can only speak for myself, but I certainly was. I decided to take a solitary walk down the beach to soak up the rays, dip my feet in the saltwater, & fully submerge myself in the amazing moment I was experiencing. I never even knew that I would ever go to portugal...but there I was just days before, taking a road trip across southern Spain and over the border, through miles of sunflower and olive tree fields, to stunning Lagos.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
So there I was.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I continued to walk until I could no longer even see my sister & friends behind me. Only cliffs and ocean. And ahead of me...only cliffs & ocean. It was liberating & frightening at the same time. But honestly, I was so enamored by the enlightenment I was feeling, that fear never even struck a chord in me. I found no reason to feel fear. Sometimes beauty blinds you. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Complete solitude next to soaring cliffs & humbling oceans. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I just came to the realization that I had my camera with me that day, tucked away in my backpack that I had left behind, yet i didn't take a single photograph of that walk. At first, upon realizing that, I was a little bummed. It didn't take long though for me to become aware of the fact that i wouldn't really want it any way. I was fully focused on where I was in the moment that the image of what was before me is incredibly vibrant in mind. I really wouldn't trade that for a photograph. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I think that sometimes we can become wrapped up in documenting an experience that we forget to actually <b>experience</b> it fully. I absolutely love to document moments in my life...I have since I was gifted my first film camera at thirteen. But, I am reminding myself here lately to find the balance between immersing myself in the present & documenting it for the future.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Balance.</div>

now that I have an eight to four, monday through friday job for the first time since i first got a job at sixteen years old, i truly savor every minute from four p.m. friday to eight on monday morning. i absolutely love my weekends...especially now that nick & i share a home. this past weekend was ripe with the nostalgic smell of autumn(my very favorite season) & full of really amazing moments with some of my closest friends. </div>

friday night, we watched our friend's band play at Arts Fest in downtown conway & took advantage of the free photo booth to have this made:</div>

saturday, nick & i met up with dana & reece to visit the Mirazozo Luminarium. i had been waiting for this day since early this year when i found out it would be coming...and i had no idea it would be as amazing as it was! the Mirazozo is a brilliant piece of art made by a group of artists from Australia who call themselves the "Architects of Air." The entire thing was hand- sewn and uses only natural light to illuminate it's interior. It is a maze of tunnels & alcoves & vibrant domes. this is stuff of dreams, you guys. the intense change of environment i experienced when i walked into the first "room" (the green one) was quite the psychedelic experience.</div>

Ever since we moved into our house in mid-august, nick & i had talked about having our first get-together when the weather changed to fall. so, we decided that afternoon that we'd have it this night- the night of the full harvest moon. we cooked way too much amazing food, ate razzleberry pie, drank beers with our friends around the fire pit, & actually felt a little chilly outside in the crisp air (totally a good thing.)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon graduating from college, I was given the most thoughtful gifts from some of the most significant people in my life. I wanted to share them here, as they are so special to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) The book <i><u>Spiritual Midwifery</u> </i>by Ina May Gaskin- given to me by my sister in order to encourage me to stay inspired in my quest to fulfill one of my life goals-becoming a doula (or a midwife if I have the time for schooling.) I'm only a short way into it, but it is a beautiful book-full of birth stories, midwife/doula experiences, and valuable knowledge about birth and the human body.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) Handmade crystal pendants made by my sweet Nicholas. The blue-ish purple crystal is an aura quartz crystal he picked up in Austin, and the other is a delicate Arkansas quartz crystal he discovered here in our home state. He found the bullet shells on a friends property in the Ozark Mountains. Although they look stunning in the photographs, even those do not do these beauties justice. I'm so in love with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) A handmade tissue box for my desk from my amazingly creative momma(seriously, this woman has some talent...she is working towards opening an etsy shop to fill with her quilts and other sewn goodies & i'll be posting about it when she does.) If you are not already aware, I have been studying art education for the last four years & now have my teaching license, as well as hope that by the end of the Summer I will be employed in a school. My mom made me this darling tissue box for my future desk. So cute.</div>fawn & fernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00270175498013824898noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931179130819540.post-76135168474284326162012-05-11T16:58:00.000-05:002016-10-06T21:36:26.761-05:00Flynn & Ruby<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am a nostalgic person by nature. I am constantly reminiscing, daydreaming about past experiences, missing childhood magic. My personal journal is full of stories from my past, the things I have thought i'd forgotten forever...and then suddenly remembered. My nostalgia has been at a high point lately, as I think is normal after ending a "chapter in life." Because of this, I have been spending a lot of time looking through all of the old scanned film photos I have on my computer. Since I got my first vintage film camera at the age of 14, I've shot countless rolls & i treasure each and every one of them for their magic and uniqueness. They tell a story in a way digital photos don't. </div>

About five or six years ago, my sister & i were playing with our little cousin, Flynn (who might as well be our little brother.) In my parents garden, he discovered a sweet, pitiful baby bird who had just recently passed away. Flynn named her Ruby (possibly because it was much more simple than the last bird we buried, who he named "dirty birdie red fred john") and we promptly carried out a funeral in her honor. </div>

And just like that, four years have passed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Saturday, I will graduate with my B.A. in Art Education. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started this blog as a freshman, not knowing exactly how amazing the next four years of my life would be. Not knowing how much I would learn, do, go. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I learned an invaluable amount about the world, the mind, art, myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went to nine countries.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made some friends & lost some, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am wrapping up my experience at UCA feeling incredibly fulfilled in a myriad of different areas of my life. I was part of, in my opinion, the best program at UCA. Our art department is brimming with talented & inspiring professors (& students alike.) Being part of such a tight knit community wasn't something i expected, but something that changed my experience in the most positive way. I'll miss so much the Thursday art openings, late nights in the darkroom, the talks after events over pitchers of blue moon with Mark, the constant source of inspiration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is such a bittersweet time in life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But now, I'm officially an art educator. & i am so incredibly thankful that i chose to take this route. I spent the last four months with the best mentor teacher & 450 kids, age five to ten. I taught them about art & hopefully instilled in them an appreciation for one of the most important things in our lives as humans. None of them know that they also taught me something-they helped teach me<b> <i>how</i> </b>to teach art to kids. They taught me to think like my seven year old self again & always live life in a carefree manner. My last week at the school was heart-warming...I don't think I have ever received so many hugs! I left with flowers, a sack full of cards & letters...and also a few tears. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although this is bittersweet, when I break it all down, the sweetest takes precedence. Closing a "chapter" in life always has it's sad moments, but I have so much to look forward to in this next one. A career, more time to pursue creative ideas & spend time with people I love, and eventually a move to a new & invigorating place.</div>

saturdays are my slow mornings...the only morning of the week that allows me to lay in bed for as long as I want, eat breakfast as slowly as I want to, take my time doing whatever it is i want to do. I really do cherish it (and of course wish for more.)</div>
