Twiggy (:

Twiggy was an English model known for her androgynous looks, long eyelashes, large eyes, and thin build.  She was named 'The Face of 1966' by Daily Express and also voted British Woman of the Year in 1966.  Twiggy has always said that her greatest influence was Jean Shrimpton.  It has been said that Twiggy was Jean's successor.




This is the photo that started it all.. (:


Even though it is so simple, I really like it. (:

 The head wrap is awesome! (:

Dress Up (:

I love dressing Lauren and Brittany up in clothes and then taking pictures of them!  I have so much fun with it.  But last night I took the photos of Lauren (see below) and had very many difficulties.  First off, I think you should beware the my camera that I have is a hand me down from my mom because I'm saving up for a nice one.  Well this camera is a Kodak and I stronly dislike Kodak cameras.  They're a piece of junk!  Well before my mom got a new camera and gave me this old one, Dad broke the cover to the battery compartment so the batteries do not stay in unless you hold it or put tape over it.  Well there was no tape to be found anywhere in the house so I had to put bandaids on it to hold it together.. After I'm outside and have Lauren all situated and while I go to take the first photo, the batteries go dead.. I run back in the house and look and look for AA batteries. You know my luck, there is none anywhere.  Ding!  The Wii remotes use AA batteries. :) A solution to my problem. Or so I thought.. It seemed like all the stupid batteries would only last about 3 photos or so and then die.  Rip off the bandaid, switch the batteries, and slap the bandaids back on.  I believe I did that like 6 times or so.  So guess what I'm going to be doing in the next or so?? I think I'm going to buy me a 'great' camera.  It's called investing, Mom. :)

Inspiration :)


I love looking through Vogue! Gives me inspiration and lots of ideas for photos.




Vintage fashion ads are always fun to look at. Especially the ones from the 1950's like the one above. The colors they used always seemed to pop off the page.  Just looking at this gives me an idea! :)





This is a photo from Vogue in 1951. I love how they captured the different patterns.  The photo is so simple but it screams inspiration.





What do you see when you look at this photo?..  I see a blonde headed girl wearing a pink frilly top standing in a field of grass on a sunny day..





This photo of Audrey Hepburn is simple but elegant at the same time. I really like it. (:

I Need To Start Running Again. . .

The last time I have ran is Regional night of track.  And that was back in May.. I keep saying I'm going to run, I'm going to run but then I never do. I don't know if it's just a lack of dedication or what.  But I guess I sorta lied earlier to you. Because the night of Regionals I just ran like a couple of warm up laps around the track.  The last time I ran over three miles was over a year ago.. And I'm blushing just typing that. I can tell I'm out of shape. I really need to start running because I want to build my muscle back up so when track starts in the spring I'll be beastly! haha jk

I think I'm going to start a pact to start running.  And if I don't run, I'll face some sort of consequences. haha

Powder Puff Football

Last night was the big game of the year!  Freshman, Sophmore, Junior, and Senior girls battled it out on the football field vieing to be crowned the Champions.  Who won, you ask?  Well, the Juniors did of course :) Yes, we dominated.  We played the freshman first and they didn't even score! :)  So after we played the freshman we had a short break. We were all hot and sweaty so all of us went down to where they were selling concessions to get something to quench our thirst.  And guess what?  Spanish club was out of beverages!! By the time they got drinks back, I could have went home and got something.  But I live only like a minute away or less.  But anywhoo.  So the championship game started and we were pumped.  We were not about to let some little Sophmores to stop us from winning.  A few curse words were exhanged, people were tackled, anger was spiked, and we were all sweaty.  After all of that and some few other events, the Juniors were victorious!! We had our picture taken holding the Powder Puff Football helment and bragging rights until next year.  But I predict we're going to win next year too. :)

Me :)

Hi! My name is Breanna and this is my blog.  If you haven't noticed by the title of my blog, I'm a runner.  I run Track and Cross Country.  Photography is my other favorite thing.  So guess what!  This blog is going to be about running, photography, and everything in between. :)

When I'm not doing one of those two things, I'm hanging out with friends and/or family, working, or just chilling. I love to go shopping, browse downtown of big cities, lay in the bed of a truck and watch the stars, four-wheeler riding, and so much more.  So if this intrigues you, you should follow my blog and keep up to date on a runner that loves photography :)
