So this post is just for funsies.  Why not get to know me a little better?   So you need to know my painting playlist first of all!  I made it for the day that I spent 7 hours painting!

flashdance – irene cara – this is my namesake. My parents liked the name Cara but liked it better with a K so it wouldn’t be pronounced like a car and more like care. I don’t get upset like my mom does when someone pronounces it wrong, so no worries! I’m horrid at pronouncing last names.
into the mystic – van morrison

These usually go on shuffle so I get a crazy mix and yes, I know, it’s a bit eclectic to say the least! I do love John Mayer but the husband hates him so I generally listen to either all of those while I’m editing or Train; just something about both of those that is very calming and helps me focus and work.

And since you deserve some eye-candy. Here’s a few inspiration boards I put together when I was re-working my website. Just lots of things I love and colors I love (ok, pink is my favorite but didn’t want to scare you away!). It took me 2 days to put these together, I scoured all over the place like etsy and amy butler fabrics (mmm) and my graphic designer who is my good friend wondered if she already had me pinned. She did: modern girly!

The top flower arrangement is from Kristen of Kio Kreations.   I have the skirt on top from Ann Taylor Loft and some of the doggie collar fabrics are fabulous and from Big Doggy Bling.  Others from random etsy sites and well I love me some good heels even though I can’t wear them while shooting!  And a love for skirts and cardigans!

So that’s a fun post for today!

p.s. don’t forget about March 7th!
