Default Making Up

I figured I needed to try to take a few photos to get back into taking photos since it's been way too long. So after being inspired by a set of kitchen photos that a Flickr contact of mine did, I started thinking about what I could use in my house to make some photos. I decided to do the girly thing and play with makeup. I figure if I can get a few shots that I'm happy with I might frame them for my bathroom. I'm actually pretty happy with these. I was aiming for this sort of exposure / colour in my head, so they turned out about how I wanted.

I have a few more in mind, I just still have to take them

Thanks Heidilyn & leonaashlee They've been fun to take so far.

This is so a girly subject for photos, isn't it. And leonaashlee, this was the kitchen set that gave my my inspiration. How nice would it be to have a set of pretty photos for a particular room (except I don't actually have any empty walls in my kitchen, so I figured bathroom worked better for my purposes lol)
