City Shooting: Strolling Downtown Brooklyn

Posted on February 13, 2015 by Milli Stephania in Client Photography, Milli Stephania

Sometimes whenever life gets a little hectic, I try to find the simpler things to bring me a bit of instant happiness. may it be cooking, dancing in front of the mirror, watching a chick flick or having a glass of wine, that escape is always needed. During one my lunch breaks, I had to escape from my window-less office. I took a stroll and brought out my camera (canon rebel t3i) that I named Belle, she’s my baby. Since I usually shoot in color when it comes to my everyday life, whenever shooting still life I like to practice my black and white. And no, not changing the color to black and white after the shot has been captured. The old school black and white, right at the moment.

I bumped into this beautiful dress in the window, a brick arched alleyway leading to a restaurant that was beautiful lit. I bumped into this house with a nice huge window in the front, but even better than that, the gloomiest tree right in front of it, I felt like it was Amityville’s Horror ‘s home. Creepy!

Tell me what you guys think!

I need to take out Belle out on a date more often.

DIY: Heart Garland

Posted on February 10, 2015February 12, 2015 by Milli Stephania in Milli Stephania

Tis’ the season for pink and red, and I’m a sucker for anything that’s Do It Yourself, especially when it’s super simple. For this Valentine craft all you really need is colored paper, a stapler and scissors (even though I decided to use a X-acto board instead) So, let’s begin!

You want to cut your sheet of paper into strips. Remember, the thicker the strip is, the chunkier your heart will be.

Next up, fold your strip in half, that crease will be the bottom of your heart.
Fold the ends obviously forming a heart, and staple together.

You want to keep repeating the same process as many times as you wish,the more hearts, the longer your garland.

And that’s it, Tah-Dah!

A super easy garland.

I’m planning on making a few more and I can’t wait to show you what they look like when they are officially up!

If you guys make one of your own, please share, I would love to see.

Hashtag #2minxinxgarland so I can check up on you guys through instagram!

See you guys soon!

Ladies of Melody Lanes

My coworkers are a trip, each and every single one of them. Working long shifts wouldn’t be the same without a handful of women who consist on making everything hilarious and interesting. My boss Jess is the biggest doll of them all and insisted on all of us having a night out, no paperwork, no desk or computers, an escape. We were going to go eating, something we all like to do, but I was determined to actually do something physical. I see these girls sit all day, I wanted to see them have some fun. So when Damaris suggested bowling, everyone was willing.

While Nedra and I snuck chicken nuggets into the bowling alley, yes, you read that right…50 piece. Shalonda was pretty upset about her overpriced and bad service at the food counter. Which I wasn’t surprised since I noticed upon our arrival that I’ve been to this bowling alley about a couple of years ago and have no recollection of who the hell I even came with. This time I had better company without a doubt. Since Margina recently left the team, we haven’t seen her in a month, and we all missed her so it was great that she joined in, and kicked our asses while we played.

Oh man, I sucked so bad. Jess was kicking butt in the first round, while Damaris was busy dancing bachata after she knocked some pins down. I tried to get Carolyn to play a little, but when her mind is set up, that’s it. Booo..maybe next time, I know she was cracking up watching all of us play though. Nedra is a clown and I love her for it. She’s not afraid to get a little silly and you guys will definitely see that in the video below while Shalonda rocks out on her air guitar.

Since Siobhan’s birthday just passed, Jess surprised her with balloons and alcoholic cupcakes, they were so good, and the liquor wasn’t shy. I think mine was vodka.

It’s no surprise to you guys that I failed horribly at bowling, every time I rolled the ball, it insisted on rolling to the right hand side, and then eventually the gutter. I would even attempt to lean all the way to my left hand side, maybe it’ll balance things out……. I was wrong. I still suck.

So, who said work had to be boring? I enjoyed my night….later guys!

[ My beautiful boss ↑ ]This week we’re celebrating Go Red for Women. For those of you unaware, The American Heart Association is promoting raising awareness in the fighting for heart disease. My pretty ladies at work, and I are in on the movement, rocking red for a few days, a color I barely even own.
