oh Bloggity Blog Blog......

I won't lie blog I haven't totally missed you, but i guess we should reignite our friendship and actually post a little more.

I guess you deserve an explanation...It's not you, It's Me...Ok it's you too.

I have what is known as a full-time job and quite honestly some days I just get home and take a nap until I have to go to sleep haa...

So I have this idea....and I just barely started working on it today, it involves doing a makeup artist program during the summer and maybe that will get me through a few more months til i can go back to school..

Oh P.S. going to school in the fall :D (OODALALLY)

I will be working on getting my BFA in photography! I'm so excited for this you have no idea, the break was nice and honestly i couldn't have done school right now anyways but ya we are going to try the whole full-time job/full-time student thing, good news is i won't have any free time to spend money so that's a good way to save...haa.

SAVING MONEY IS.....hard :/

I'm pretty determined however because my parents basically bribed me with a trip to Disneyland if i could save the money, and trust me I will do ANYTHING to go to Disneyland.

ALSOOOO, I'm starting an Etsy page soon enough once I get all of my "product finalized" (see how professional I am?!) Basically I take characters I come up with in this ol noggin of mine or what I paint and stitch them on to blankets etc, once I get the etsy page a rollin I will post another bloggity blooo.

Well that's all I suppose, Photos will be coming along :] I have Spring Fever and some idearrss (British eh?).

Anywhooo I have a RedBox to return or the RedBox Nazi with remove yet another dollar and seven cents from my bank account.

Much Love,

Stephy :)

walk

I went on a walk today through my neighborhood just to relax and take some pictures before the snow started to fall. The top picture is actually my street, technically i live on 50 south but Shakespeare Ave is stamped on every corner and i think that's a little better. I love feet shots for some reason, i guess its to show i was there without having to flip my huge camera around and take a picture of my face.

The second picture is of a house called "the cottage" its the old physicians ward for the state hospital..haa i would.

P.S. its never too early for senior pictures, snow is coming soon and its way fun to take shots in that too!

Apple Orchards

This family was so fun to shoot, we went to the apple orchards by the state hospital and also "the castle" also by the state hospital. Both are great places to shoot, speaking of that I am looking for a girl 18-23 to do a shoot with a friend of mine. It would be great if she were taller and had dark long hair but light hair will work just fine too. If you know anyone or if you yourself would like to be involved let me know :].

Fam @ GSL

So here we are! Amber and the fam at the Great Salt Lake!

The Great Salt Lake

So this last weekend I was able to go to the Great Salt Lake and she what all the hype is about for taking pictures there. I actually went with my sister to take pictures of her family (which will be posted soon by the way) but decided to get in some of my own shots as well. Soo heres the deal, if anyone is interested in buying any prints i am more than willing to sell them (im pretty poor right now give me a break haa) just let me know :]

Just a Little Sneaky Peeky...

So this weekend has been filled with some fun shoots that I had to share little sneak peeks with :]..

First of is my cousin and her preggers belly and her husband and just how adorable they are together.

Second is a picture I did of my sister and her cute family out at the Great Salt Lake...stay tuned for more photos!

P.S....

I kind of hate blogging...but heres a picture for ya :] down center street from my house in provo.

Dear Self

Dear Self,

is it really neccessary at this point to make plans when you keep changing them? Keeping up on the blog has somewhat gone out the window seeing as you are busy...

1) taking photos (which never get uploaded due to...)

2)getting ready to move to a cute little home in provo (wow a plan that actually went through with no glitches haa)

3)trying to get your boss of two years out of denial because you will be leaving in three weeks and are afraid that his small boyscout messes and piles of paper will consume him

4)filling out applications for jobs that hopefully will allow you to avoid working at forever21 and not have a paycheck...ever

Anyways...

The plan seems to be to wait to january and hope for some DIVINE INSPIRATION on the whole school subject (which seems to be leaning towards online schooling)

A.I. fell through unfortunately, but it was for the best seeing as i got an "insiders opinion" and it wasnt so much all it was cut out to be.

If all goes "according to plan" (pfff) i will start online school from somewhere (academy of art perhaps???) and until then just make some money with a normal boring job but of course photos remaining NUMERO UNO

Well i guess after all of that i do owe you a photo...heres one taken at the scofield cemetary on July 4th, its the lock on a gate surrounding a tombstone...eerie i know...

but its what i do :]

two favorite things...

I just have to say that two of my most favorite things in the world are located in this picture :] We took this the other night when it was still a little cloudy but the perfect lighting for this time of night.

Sunset

I just love doing shoots with Becca! we decided to wait until sunset to get some amazing light and here are some of the shots we were able to get. my favorite is the black and white one and the very last one with the amazing light behind her :] let me know what you think

"band shots"

haha so here is one more post for the night...these are some friends of mine that wanted some "band shots" done of them...seeing as technically they arent really a band, it was really all for fun, and trust me we got some good laughs out of it :]

thanks guys!

ZOO DAY!

You really have no idea how much I love the zoo and how much i just love animals in general. I think that they are the most amazing and beautiful things in the whole world. This week I was lucky enough to go with my mom, sister, and nephew to the Hogle Zoo, and boy did we have a great time. Elephants are by far my most favorite animal EVER...i collect antique elephant statues i have clothes with elephants on them and lucky enough i was even able to find paper made out of elephant poop at the zoo that i have been trying to find forever haha. But anyways i was so excited to take my camera not only for the idea to take some personal photos of the people i love, but also to get some shots in of the animals i love. I really could have sat and took pictures of the elephants all day but seeing as that wasnt going to happen i got some shots of the other animals as well.

The little guy in the first picture is a type of parrot from south africa, he made a really funny noise that caught my attention but also the colors of him and his toy in the cage caught my eye.

The giraffes were a real treat because they were outside and coming really close to all of the people, giraffes would have to be my second favorite animal because of how tall they are and (as shown in the picture, they are knock kneed like me!! im so printing that picture and putting it in my apartment btw.

Then of course there are the elephants, the last picture would have to be my favorite, it was our second visit to the elephant encounter for the day and they finally put some hay up for them to eat, i loved watching this big guy eat with his trunk :]

rain...rain...

Even though it was a really rainy day today down in Price, luckily Becca and I were able to get some really cute photos of her in. Since I haven't done any photos next to my favorite old door for awhile i decided it was time to take some there. The rain is really a pain in the bet when it comes to photo shoots because of worrying about getting your camera wet, but when you have a nice boyfriend that will hold an umberella over you everything seems to work out :]. I've wanted to take a shoot in the rain for awhile and well, today was the day! I really hope you enjoy and make sure to comment!
