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!

update update

So I don't really think I have any pics to put up for this post but i just wanted to give you a heads up to what is coming up for me and my blog. Tomorrow I have a shoot with a senior named Kody (yay! a boy finally!) even though its after graduation his family wanted some photos of him so we are taking some of him at the skatepark and around some grafitti (if i can find some). He sounds like a pretty cool kid some im excited for that!

On Saturday morning im taking a shoot of three more girls in just a fun fashion shoot which will we just be something fun to do!

I also just got a text from my best friend Court who's family wants me to do pics of them on June 13th. I am so excited for all these shoots because I thought as soon as summer came around the shoots would die down but they are actually picking up really well.

If anyone wants a fun shoot or any type of shots done let me know and we can figure out pricing and what not, summer is a great time for photos and I need tons of practice and shots for my portfolio.
