Kit the Photo-taking Hufflepuff (AGPS 07-15-17)

Hullos dears, I hope summer hasn't hit you too hard. Miss Kit is sporting her Hufflepuff house-pride in this post. I hope you enjoy!

"Loving can hurt. Loving can hurt sometimes. But it's the only thing that I know,

When it gets hard. You know it can get hard sometimes. It is the only thing that makes us feel alive.

We keep this love in a photograph.

We made these memories for ourselves.

Where our eyes are never closing; hearts are never broken, times forever frozen still.

So you can keep me; inside the pocket of your ripped jeans. Holdin' me closer 'Til our eyes meet, you won't ever be alone. Wait for me to come home

Loving can heal. Loving can mend your soul, And it's the only thing that I know (know)

I swear it will get easier. Remember that with every piece of ya. And it's the only thing we take with us when we die.

We keep this love in this photograph. We made these memories for ourselves. Where our eyes are never closing, hearts were never broken, times forever frozen still.

So you can keep me, inside the pocket of your ripped jeans; holdin' me closer 'Til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone. And if you hurt me; that's OK, baby, only words bleed, Inside these pages you just hold me, and I won't ever let you go. Wait for me to come home.

Oh you can fit me, inside the necklace you got when you were 16,

Next to your heartbeat, where I should be. Keep it deep within your soul.

And if you hurt me, well, that's OK, baby, only words bleed, inside these pages you just hold me; and I won't ever let you go.

When I'm away; I will remember how you kissed me, under the lamppost, back on 6th street hearing you whisper through the phone, 'Wait for me to come home.'"

I actually wasn't planning to put this photo-shoot to this song, but the thought was there, and I figured I'd mix it up a little bit to keep things interesting for you dears. For those of you who aren't familiar with that song, it's Photograph by Ed Sheeran. Probably my favourite song of his...it made me cry the first time I listened to it, so that's usually a good sign. :)
There will be a new post soon!
Happy August 3rd!

Broadway Bounding: The Schuyler Sisters (take 1, HAMILTON, 05-18-17)

It is likely no small fact to most of you reading this; that my family has been 'obsessed' to put it lightly, with a musical called, 'Hamilton: An American Musical' for over a year. Since my last post, similar to this on Amelie (which is now on Spotify and out on CD, you really should go listen to it, it gets better the further in you get! I promise!) 

I thought it would be fair that Hamilton got a post--there will likely be another one, but here's a summer-inspired-Schuyler-Sisters-photo-shoot. Also the fact that over the course of posting these pictures on my instagram, the current actor who plays Alexander Hamilton in the Chicago cast, liked on of my pictures. Whatttttt. Anywho, calm down Lu, here's the photo-shoot! Enjoy!

Our models today are Lizzy (J's doll), Ruthie-Lila, and Becca (Mum's doll).

Becca as Peggy!

Lizzy as Angelica. 

Work!

We're looking for a mind at work!

And Ruthie as Elizabeth.

And Peggy!

Look around, look around!

Which picture was your favourite? Have you listened to Hamilton? Would you like to see more posts like these?

CW Concert: Voices of Angels Tour (05-14-17)

Hullo everyone! This post is a tad bit late, but heh, what can I say, lots of things, stressful things, have been happening. Here are the pictures from the Celtic Woman concert back on Mother's Day. It was a pleasant and much needed surprise to get tickets. :)

Unlike last time we went, we headed to Biloxi MS instead of NOLA. Apparently NOLA didn't sell enough tickets or something. Oh well.

They had a screen with a slideshow playing through the entire show, very unlike anything they're used in the past.

No video, but we were allowed to take no-flash pictures. So here are these.

Did I mention that since so few tickets sold, we were moved up many many seat rows? Yep, that was cool.

Dulaman. (Mairead Carlin)

Eabha McMahon. <3

Anthony Byrne.

'Kesh Inn' This one was very fun! And I recognised several pieces.

Nil Sen La

Teir Abhaile Riu.

For the Love of A Princess: Tara McNeill

She was lovely. =)

Walk Beside Me.

Ray Fean.

Ave Maria

Then afterwards we got to meet two of the lovely choir boys. Ronan (Who is married to MC), and Carl. They were great!

Then it was time to head home.

But as we were leaving the coast, the sun was setting--it was almost as nice of a sunset as the ones at Destin--but no quite.

Well that's all I have to share. If you have a chance to go see 'Voices of Angels' you by golly should. It was amazing, and made me miss Ireland even more, (I know I've never been, shh) and it'll make you truly appreciate Celtic music. Here's a link to the rest of their tour. They're nearly finished though. Alrighty, well, I'll be back with another Photo-shoot soon. Have a good day!
