That is an interesting idea… Hmm, I might have to do so. I mean, repaying my friends, I can just offer to repair their cosplays for like a year and it’ll work. As for my girlfriend, I’ll probably just ask what she wants and go from there.

Well, yes, that totally works too. I feel obliged to edit my suggestion to you and your girlfriend making cupcakes together, though, because that just sounds super cute, and if she gets icing smudged on her face you’re obliged to help her clean it off -- I mean, what? Who said that?

[styleandgracie]

mauradunbroch:

Aww, that’s sweet. Yeah, the transfer thing sucks, but it’s all about demand. It’s how I ended up here.

Yeah, and I know he needed to go, for his career. I mean, I’m a strong independent woman who doesn’t need a boyfriend (or a girlfriend) to be happy -- but it still kind of sucks sometimes. 

[jossisarose]

What are you supposed to do when an old friend, his wife, and your girlfriend decide to threaten violence against everyone who misgenders/dead names you? Cause… I’m pretty sure I owe them, big time. I sent a video of it to my mom and it has earned her approval, oddly enough. But really, how do you repay such a thing? Especially because this is Isaac and Rowan’s wedding.

[styleandgracie]

...Give them cupcakes? Everybody loves cupcakes, and that kind of badassery sounds like it’s earned, like, extra sprinkles and everything.

Oh believe me, she’s always off and running that fast. Sofia has two main settings. One, off and running, can’t stay still and getting into everything. Two, cuddle bug. She loves her cuddles and I think I’m really lucky in that department because she’ll happy lay cuddled up with me on the couch and watch TV. Not so easy to do things like make dinner and stuff when she’s like that cos she really does want to cuddle non-stop. Phone photos are great in my opinion but only because I’ve never really had the opportunity to get professional photos done. I think the last professional photo I had was when the photographer came into school for senior graduation photos for the yearbook. Yeah, not sure how we’re going to figure that one out but I’m sure we’ll find a way around it. She really is a cutie, don’t be surprised if she gives you a hug or anything, she’s really big into making friends at the moment. 

Amazing how fast short little legs can move, hmmm? If she’s a cuddle bug, she’s already my favorite -- cuddles are the best, especially from tiny arms! Well, in that case, we might just have to see if we can make it a Mommy-and-Me shoot, hmmm? It’s never too early to start thinking about this year’s Christmas cards, after all! I am 100% absolutely on board with hugs and making friends -- that’s pretty much my mission in life anyway, so we’re gonna get along just fine, I think!

magicalmarls:

Absolutely, I understand! I figured that was probably going to be your answer, especially since you’re such a creative soul! Oh my goodness, you are the besttt! THOSE ARE AMAZING! I love them so much, Gracie! Thank you! I would love copies!

My creative soul dies a little every time a family stands in front of Cinderella Castle with dead eyes and blank faces. SMIZE A LITTLE, PEOPLE, you’re at Disney World! Awwww -- with that kind of enthusiasm, I’m totally throwing in a super cute frame or two, as well!

[styleandgracie]

shutterbuglynn:

Hmm, I guess maybe you’re right, but I think you are right about Silvermist though too. And hey you’re welcome, but I still stand by what I said. Oh I plan on it, trust me. I don’t want to burn up. I hope you don’t have to, but it’s nice to know there’s backup out there! Same goes to you to though, you’re out just as much as we are. (Aw, you mean it? Thanks Grace! So sweet.) I hope you get the chance to do some different stuff!

Silvermist would probably be my best shot, since fairies don’t have to be, like, tall or anything. I’m WAY more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it, though, I don’t know how you do it. (Hey, what good is toting a camera around if I can’t print out awesome pictures of my friends? You’re welcome!) I’m pulling a few shifts in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique next week, so that’ll be a nice (air conditioned!) break!

[styleandgracie]

mauradunbroch:

It’s interesting. Totally! OH MY GOD YOU WERE SO CUTE!

Thank you! My boyfriend at the time was willing to indulge me as my Stitch -- totally sucks that he got transferred, boo.

[drxgonfly]

GET IT? HE’S EXPERIMENT 626 (x)

[styleandgracie]

mauradunbroch:

Yeah, probably. I can do Southern and New York, but that’s about  it. I can imagine. Lilo and Stitch is an excellent movie, though.

New York is totally beyond me, you win. It is, isn’t it!? It’s my favorite -- I might have dressed up as Lilo for last Halloween.

jamesashcroft: No it was a joke... Of course for real dummy. Thanks, still trying to remember that this is real.

styleandgracie: MEAN. See if I get you something awesome for a wedding present, then, 😜

[styleandgracie]

magicalmarls :

Is there one you prefer more? I’m just telling the truth! (D’awww, thank you, G! Just being honest here though!) Oh my gosh, really? Sure, I’d love to see them if it’s no trouble!

As much as I love my job, it’s always more fun to get to take pictures when I get to choose the subject and the lighting and the framing -- full creative control, y’know? I did! I’m printing a few for Ryder, I can make you copies, as well. And maaaaaaaay have a sneak peek or two online, if you want?

[styleandgracie]

shutterbuglynn:

Hey, that’s not fair, I so can! And for the record you know you’d be able to cross over just as easily as I did, right? It’s going pretty well actually, save for the ridiculous heat these days. I’m really not looking forward to August when it actually breaks the needle on thermostats everywhere in Florida. (You don’t say? Well I might just have to check a few of those out then. ;) ) And what’s new with you these days?

Uh, no, actually, I can’t. The only regularly cast face character I could maybe qualify for is Mulan -- unless they’re casting the Big Hero 6 characters to keep Baymax company and need a GoGo. Wait, no, isn’t there an Asian fairy in Pixie Hollow? Silvermist? Also I’m way too short and babbly to be one of the pretty people -- but you’re sweet for saying I could, at least. Stay hydrated! I will hunt you down and spray you with one of those obnoxious mist-thingies if I have to! (I’ll print you a few next time I get some dark room time, ‘cause you two are too cute.) Same old, same old -- I’m hoping for some variety in my assignments the busier the park gets, at least!

[styleandgracie]

miriamtracey:

With you being the Maserati, right? ‘Cause that makes sense to me. Did you snap many photos?

Oh dear god no. I’m totally the Beetle. Tiny and brightly colored and cute and probably impractical for longer trips except when everyone is under 5′-6″ -- wait, I forgot where I was going with that metaphor, never mind. LOTS! The park was hoppin’ this morning, and everyone wants a piece of Space Mountain, it seems!

[styleandgracie]

miriamtracey:

It’s ‘cause you love me. Duh. 

Well, yeah, duh. You have to admit, though, it’s like a Maserati being BFFs with a VW Beetle. (Don’t judge me, I was outside the Tomorrowland Speedway this morning.)

[styleandgracie]

miriamtracey:

I don’t always like to play fair.

Obviously. Still not entirely sure how I’m friends with you, but I’m learning how to roll with it, at least.

[styleandgracie]

miriamtracey:

You are so trying to convince yourself right now. 

You hush with your faux-flirty teasing, Miriam Tracey, that’s not even fair.

[styleandgracie]

raynasunshine:

Thanks, I love it because it was something she did on her own, no one told her to that, she was just being her adorable little self. Unfortunately I didn’t get their name, Sofia spotted Pluto and his ears were just too tempting so I was busy running after her before she cut in line. Believe me, energy is required with my baby girl, especially now that she’s figured out how to almost, kind of run. I’m really excited for this, it’d nice to have some photos that aren’t ones that I’ve taken on my phone in a mad rush. 

The unprompted moments are totally the best, especially if she’s off and running again that fast. Phone photos have their appeal, but nothing beats photos with the proper lighting and a really sharp focus from a good camera. The trick will probably be coordinating schedules, since it’s smack in the middle of the busy season. But we’ll work something out! No way am I gonna pass up the chance to photograph a certified cutie like this!
