Milk Bath //

Yesterday I woke up a total Bitch. For no reason at all, I was just 100% grumpy and everything bothered me. So. I called a few friends, asked them to meet me at my empty-for-sale-house with 20 gallons of milk, and we got weird.

And it was fun. There's no rhyme or reason or message here. I didn't invent milk bath photos or anything. This was just me getting silly with some of my favorite people. The pictures are just a bonus.

There's more, but for now this.

I shared these on instagram (@michellegardella) last night and wasn't planning on posting them here, but then I was like, why not.

After this we ate Chinese food on the front lawn with plastic forks.

River Story Remix

Here are a few just-for-fun pics of me and Lily, captured by Thomas. Because sometimes, you just have to run to the local grocery store, grab a few roses, duct tape them to a headband and jump into your mom's apartment complex hot tub wearing a t-shirt that says "Rap Music Makes Me Feel Invincible."

Mali-Mish Airstream Family Visit

Even though every session is deeply personal to me, I haven't shared any personal images from my family life lately. Here are a few from when our friends came to visit the campground. They travel the country in their Airstream with their children too, and it was SO NICE to meet up with another family who totally get it.

Marlene, the awesome Mama of the bunch, said it best, "The hardest part of traveling is saying so many goodbyes." I couldn't agree more. Already missing these faces so much!
