Busyness

I know I haven't posted in awhile due to school, work and no free time!
 BUT that doesn't mean I stopped making time for photography!
 So here's what you've missed:

Slumber Queen pt.1

I just recently got a new lens -70-300mm- and I absolutely love it!
 Over the course of 2013 I have saved up money from all the shoots I did and will hopefully be buying another lens -like a 50mm or buy a -Cheaper- photoshop.

 This year has been a challenge both in personal life and for my photography business.
I photographed two weddings and 1 senior session and multiple couple sessions!
I can't wait to see what's in store for next year :)

God has given me this gift and I plan to use it well.


This week I have challenged myself to be grateful and to be happy if someone copies my idea or tries to re-create something I've done. Because I get, not mad just upset, if someone tries to "outdo" me.... which they aren't :)

This week I challenge you to do something out of your comfort zone! I went outside -in *17 temp- for my "Slumber Queen pt.1"- and that was not something I think anyone would want to do!

Vlogging

One of my favorite You-tubers/vloggers are Kalel and Anthony's channel, Watchusliveandstuff.

 I think it would so cool to be a vlogger but I mean what would I talk about? My life is pretty boring ATM. 

But I mean it would be so so awesome to start a channel and vlog and do some photography based videos! 

If I do end up making a vlogging channel I will post it here!

In other news I just got a a really cool mask that I cannot wait to take pictures (: 

 I haven't been able to take pictures in quite awhile, school and work have taken a lot of time away from pictures/ideas.

And recently here in the weird weather state of Michigan it has snowed the past two days.

 Which then cancelled my plans for outdoor shoot :/ 

Well hopefully I'll be posting here real soon!

Help?

I have always LOVED talking/writing/typing or sharing my thoughts.

I am working on my blogging skills, writing skills and what people want to see/read! 

Well and what really helps is feedback! 

Good and bad reviews or comments are what make me better; with that being said I need your help (: 

Comment what I need to work on or what you want to hear or see from me.

I hope to someday figure out how to record my process.

And here are some recent self portrait photos I took :)

School Pictures

I -Like every year for awhile now- take my brother and I's school pictures!
Lately I haven't been able to take pictures, due to not being able to shoot anyone, besides myself.
 And on the 13th I get to take pictures of one my very close friends! I am soo very excited!

Makenzie Anne

It was recently my Niece Makenzie's birthday! And she spent a day over at our house, and we had a little fun with all my Hair accessory's!

Flowers for the ones we lost.

 I am dedicating these photos to the many Americans who lost their lives today 12 years ago.
  9/11 Twin Towers, NY. Never Forget.
