My pile of stuff for our shoot. Super excited!

As I said before, once the fiance and I got engaged we decided that we wanted to do an eshoot. We both love fall and have always wanted to have pictures together with the colourful fall leaves. We also wanted to do an eshoot as a newly engaged couple simply because everything is fresh and more exciting. We don't want to wait until we're both busy planning for the big day.

We've chosen Beyond Infinity Photography. I saw some of their pics through a friend on facebook over a year ago and loved them. They are just so fun and colourful and I like that most of their shoots have a vintage inspired theme. I am not sure if I am going for the same idea for the wedding so we're not committed to using them and it's really to early to tell.

We both love going for walks, having picnics and riding bikes so this has been our inspiration for the shoot. We've been busy collecting/renting our props and getting our outfits ready.

Stay tuned for the pics from our eshoot!!!!

Please cross your fingers that it doesn't rain :)

That hair! OR Is it no hair at all?

Check out this girl spotted in NYC. I saw this pic on The Satorialist earlier today and the first thing I noticed was her beauty and HER HAIR! Or is it really that she has barely any hair at all (which I find quite liberating and fresh)? I realize that I haven't said anything on the blog about my hair but it's been quite the journey. I went from having hair exactly like this as a child in Nigeria to having braids when I came to Canada, straightened hair in high school and university then braids for a short while AND THEN I did what I wanted to do for a long time AND cut it all off!!! Well, not all of it I guess. I now have a short afro which I completely love. My hair now takes like 5 mins to do and I feel like myself again, not trying to be like everyone else with long straight hair. For some reason (well I know exactly why) I thought that was beauty. That I had to fit in. Well, I'm about to turn 28 and am finally growing into my own lol! I'm about 6 feet tall so there really isn't any fitting in for me, is there? I love my new style and hair and know that one day I will go even shorter. Some wonderful women in my life have even suggested that I do this!!! I love the simplicity of this girl's look and think that her short hair really lets her beauty shine through. SO inspiring!

Okay that's all for now about hair ... will definitely be coming back to this topic!
