Sister Johnson...

 Today was such an honor.  I was able to shoot my best friend's mission photos.

She is such an amazing girl. I don't know what I would do without her. 

She's held my hand through everything. 

She leaves to serve the wonderful people in Nashville in just a couple of short weeks. She will be so loved there.

She will do such an amazing job. 

When I found out that she turned her papers in, I cried to my mom. It will be so bittersweet to me. But mostly sweet, she will be an amazing missionary. Hands down!

Well, I love ya Natalie! You've been the best of friend any one could ever ask for.

Keep your smiles contagious, most of all, keep shining.

xoxo

babe-a-licious

I am so honored to have such beautiful friends.

This specific woman is the best though. Shout out to Christine! Aka my Doug! 

She has been such an example in my life. 

I love you, keep shining.

accidents are good...

Throughout all of my photography courses.. I've been told accidents are usually good things. Well hey, I like to use this one as my example of an accident turning out fabulous.

 We can only shoot in manual for class. Thank goodness for manual.

(sorry about the grain..)

My boyfriend and I sat in my basement trying to get these shots of a 'ball of flame' thing.. we sat there for two hours trying to figure it out. My bum killed afterwards.. haha. 

This shot made me super stoked. I was figuring out my exposure and the image in focus.. 

hey I think it turned out pretty sweet.

cheers to 2013

2012 was definitely a year that I will NEVER forget.

This year I learned a lot about myself.

I learned what life is all about.

And what I need.

This past year was nothing but bittersweet. And I had to learn that the hard way.

But through all of that, I fell in love with my best friend.

I don't know what I would do without him.

Honestly, I can't wait for what 2013 will bring!

The past is in the past and I am looking nothing but forward!

Cheers to 2013!

 

i love going to bed and thinking 'how did i get so lucky?'

final project for design... complete!!!!

hooray for making self-portraits! 

still found it super awkward. oh well got some nifty stuff done! 

i never have played too much with photoshop... intimidates the crap outta me.

(at least i'm taking a photoshop class for photographers next semester)

hooray! semester almost done!

design...

fall semester is coming to an end! i love the photography program that i am in. sometimes the random required classes are a pain. but they are interesting and learn a lot about art.  in my design class we have to make a self portrait. being in photography... kinda funny that i find it so awkward to take photos of myself. i dunno. weird. anyway.. i decided to work with double exposures. this is just a rough of one. supposed to have two. we'll see how it turns out....... check out my rough!!
