A little update...

I
know that you're probably wanting far more that I can really give you right now, but I ask that you please bear with me. I finally broke down and purchased a new computer. I have been working off of a 3 year old laptop and it has been wearing me down daily. I now have a brand spankin new machine and I'm excited to take her out for a spin. I'm excited to finally have the capability to work with my photos in a way that doesn't take an eon to complete. For a little bread to go with that water I'm including some photos from 2 recent shoots. There seems to be an epidemic of babies this year and I had the fabulous opportunity to photograph them and their sweet parents! Happy First year of life Emma Riley and Jeremiah Joel!
Enjoy and I'll hopefully be back very soon and with more fun goodies to show you! Thanks for hanging in there.

My Roommates Blog...

Well, I just got my camera from the repair center and it's back to being it's jolly self. I decided to test it out on my roommates new fall decorations around the house. My roommate, Sara Jane, has an eye for some seriously great style (you should see our apt. it's fabulous!) and to top it all off she writes an amazingly witty blog about home interiors ( and other fun stuff ). I wanted you to see her genius and my, well...we'll call it, craft. I was so excited to help her out and so glad she loved the shots and posted them. All I can say is I'm trying to get myself out there in the photography world and I'm looking into some cool things to help create a brand. I am hoping to get a logo made and possibly an update to this very website/blog...we'll see in the weeks to come what happens, I'll definitely keep you posted with more info. I'm so excited to see what God has planned. In the mean time enjoy Sara Jane's post and my pictures!

Back on Top

So you might be wondering what happened to me...well I'm still alive and I'm still taking pictures, but I haven't been as on top of things since I started my new/now not so new job a couple of months ago. I also had been experiencing some camera issues and was unable to shoot any pictures while my dear camera did a little r&r at the Canon repair facility. I've gotten her back and I'm ready to go...this is just a little something to tide you all over until I can start a more "manageable" project...365 is discontinued for the time being. I'll hopefully take it up when I can manage to juggle all the different things in my life at the moment. As winter approaches and the colors outside change here's just a little remnant of the spring...enjoy.

Kaleidoscope of colors

Here are just a couple pictures of the quilt. Thought you might like to view the awesomeness that it is! The pics of the stripes and the floral are absolutely my favorite...its a marriage of opposites. Stripes and Florals...I think they are spectacular!

Color me Happy!

There's a quilt on my head...I know...the reason for it is due to the fact that I've been trying to find this very quilt since it first came out in stores. I've waited for it to go on sale and when it finally did there were never any left...well my friends I finally found one, and on sale too. So I snatched that thing up like the whole store was going to catch on fire and ran quilt in tow to the closest register and bought it! Let me tell you, it's going to be a phenomenal quilt. First, it's beautiful...oh yes it is, it's all the colors of the pastel rainbow, yummy! Second, it tickles the senses by the vastness of it's color pallet. Third, it's "homey"...that's right I said it, homey. It brings back memories of warm winter nights and rainy days. It gives the illusion of familial comfort and rest you can't help but love!!! I know what you're thinking..."but it's just a quilt!", yes my friends it is just a quilt...but a quilt can become a lot of things when you use your imagination...and that's what this quilt represents...imagination, the varied colors of life and love and all that comes between the two (I'm thinking Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, anyone, anyone???).

Here's to dreaming all the colors of the technicolor rainbow.
(And a tribute to all the crazy fun dreams I keep having lately)

All Made up and no where to go. I decided to play around with a little makeup and see what would happen...I had fun! I still have the makeup on right now and I need to go wash it off and head to bed. Enjoy these photos...It's goofy glamour!!!! ;)
