Le Random List

I have no idea what to write (which is really sad since I'm supposedly a writer 'n' stuff).

So, I shall make a list instead!

LE RANDOM LIST

1. Christmas was a blast! We had our first ever Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest, and I must say, I totally rocked that abominable snowman I had hot-glued to my own.

2. I made no New Year's resolutions because I'm terrible and didn't really feel like it.

3. Les Miserables was fantastic. Though, I must admit that I was a little taken aback by just how much singing there was. Still. It was fantastic. I had a DREEEEAM OF SOMETHING SOMETHINGGGGG. Yep, I seriously sing that.

4. I read another person's blog a few minutes ago, and I am saddened by the fact that his blog appears much less neglected than mine. I'm sorry, blog. Please forgive my forgetfulness.

5. My parents are awesome! I really am blessed to have such sweet, cool people to spend my life with.

6. College looms before me.

7. I dread college.

8. I want to travel Europe instead. Can I do that? I think I'll do that. It doesn't require me being social. Well...maybe I'd have to be a bit social to the flight attendants or something. But still.

9. I really need to stop coming up with book ideas so I can finish the ones I'm already working on. This is apparently going to be the neverending complaint in my life.

10. One of my friends is going  to Ireland later this month. I wish I could fit in a suitcase.

11. A couple of days ago, I went out into the field behind my house and took seventy-eight pictures of cows. SEVENTY-EIGHT. We're all best friends now.

12. But best of all, and I just realized I could've just skipped the list and instead written about this:

I got a website!

 Pretty exciting, I must say. I spent quite a bit of time creating it, so I am so glad that it's finally up and running.

And now, I leave you with the link that will take you to the new, shiny site.

CLICK ME. 

New Stuff! Whoo!

 

 

 

Notice my shiny new blog header?

I was pretty impressed with myself for making it...until I saw that it isn't quite long enough to go across the whole page. Ah, well. I'll leave it that way for now. ;)

This past week has been full of excitement and anticipation. I've been planning on getting a new camera for a while now, and it was only recently that I was able to actually buy one. I had actually put in an order to Sears, but the order got messed up somehow and we ended up having to cancel it, so I actually had to drive down to get the camera I wanted. Of course, there weren't any stores in my own town that had the one I wanted, but I still had a fun time spending the day with my sister in the city.

The camera. MY GOODNESS. It's like a dream come true. I've spent the whole day getting to know all of its new features, and so far it's all pretty exciting. I have a family photo shoot this coming Saturday, so I am looking forward to shooting with my new lens.

I'm serious when I say that I've spent the whole day getting to know my camera. Here are just a couple of shots of taken today.

  This first one was actually taken last night at about 11 or so. AT NIGHT. Just in case you missed that. ;) I was very impressed at just how sharp everything looks, considering how dark it was at the time. I couldn't even see that well when I took the picture!

 

 

 

 
Okay, this next one might not look all that impressive to you guys, but this is actually the first ever clear photo I have ever gotten of this dog. She can never stay still enough for me to get a good shot of her--until now! The photo was also taken in medium-shade, and yet you can't even tell. :o

This last one is one of my favorites. Taken in my dim kitchen with a simple kit lens and flash (and really fast shutter speed). I really love how the background is reflected in the water drops.

So there's the sneek peek at my day! :)

Lovely Tiffany {Senior Shoot}

My last senior shoot was with Tiffany and while the wind that day was about 50mph, the photos turned out so lovely.

This first one is by far my favorite out of all that I took. 

 

 

 

 

 

Absolutely loved her adorable outfit!

 

  We had a blast!

Beautiful Chandler {Senior Shoot}

I had a blast shooting Miss Chandler here a couple weeks back! She's beautiful both outside and in. :)

Totally loving this fall weather! I just wish it would hurry up and get nice and chilly; my sweaters are calling my name. ;)

Downtown in October {Senior Shoot}

  I've found a new location for senior shoots that I absolutely love!

  If you know me, you should know of my fascination with anything old or vintage. Well, I was scouting around town and I found this wonderful old building. I've done two shoots there so far.

  The location was first tried out with Jared.

And then, of course, we had to move on to the railroad. This was underneath the tracks, a perfect place for pictures. Another new spot discovered as well!

 

 

I'll have more senior pictures up tomorrow!
