Revisions

     It seems that springtime has (finally) arrived! I was beginning to think it would never come! But now that the trees are all a-bloom with their flowers and the nighttime air is warm and lovely, it's pretty safe to say that spring is here.

     And with spring come some equally anticipated revisions to Hogan's Photography!

     I've been pretty busy these past weeks--with photo shoots as well as other exciting things. Spring has always been known as the season of new beginnings, and so it should be fitting that most of my sessions have been of engagements or weddings! Beautiful weather calls for beautiful photos! Below is one of my absolute favorites from my latest engagement shoot. You might remember Ashley & Brandon from sometime last year, when I photographed them back before they were officially engaged. They are such a great couple; I always enjoy our time together!

     2014 has already proven to be a wonderful year full of new things for me. I've branched out with my talents by publishing a book as well as becoming part of a videography/photography business, and I've made some new, amazing friends that God seemed to put into my life at exactly the right moment. This is a year of transition, I think. And in celebration (or possibly because I just grew bored of the old design), I've begun revamping my photography website! Might as well start everything fresh, right? (Haven't seen my website yet? Check it out here.)

     Stay tuned for lots more photos and changes to come! I'm sure there will be lots. But until then, go out and enjoy this gorgeous weather while it lasts! :)

    

Day 3: Clouds

  I must say that Oklahoma, despite its flat lands and terrible weather, really does have some amazing skies.

  This was taken last week sometime during all of the thunderstorms we were experiencing. I absolutely love when the sky is grey and the clouds are churning with a storm! No two skies are ever the same where I live, which never ceases to amaze me. I like to think that the sky is God's canvas and the clouds are His beautiful masterpiece.

  Speaking of masterpieces...my logo is definitely not one of them! I'm currently working on a new logo that I can add to all of my client pictures, and this one is just a temporary filler. It has a sort of charm to it, I guess, but I'm looking to go for something more elegant. We'll see how it turns out.

  Until next time!

Day 2: What I Wore

   My outfit of the day was pretty casual, as you can see. Also, I'm sort of awkward when it comes to posing myself (go figure).

  In other news, I have recently decided to learn how to sew! My mom has always been great at sewing and I've always admired her talent but I never thought about giving it a try. I'm not exactly sure what changed my mind (though it may have something to do with the fact that school is out!), but I suddenly really want to learn how to sew all kinds of things.

  Hopefully, my lessons with Mom will start tomorrow. I'll keep you posted on my progress!

Day 1: Self Portrait

I can upload photos now, which means it's time to give this photo-a-day thing a shot!

 

 

 

 

Day 1: Self Portrait

    This photo was so fun to take! I was absolutely covered in glitter by the time I was done!

  Since I've shared a picture of myself, I feel I might as well share some facts as well. So here is an impromptu list!

1. My favorite color is green.
2. I have four older siblings (and I'm the only kid with brown eyes!)
3. I write/speak Italian.
4. If you ever see me deep in thought, there's a 98% chance I'm thinking of some book I'm writing!
5. I love the sound of rain, especially on a tin roof.
6. When I was a kid, I was absolutely obsessed with wolves.
7. My prayer is that I live such in such a way that others see the love of Christ shining through me.
8. In my opinion, Irish and Scottish accents are the most wonderful accents to listen to!
9. I hate being the center of attention.
10. I used to write for an online Christian magazine geared toward young women.

  There's a bit about me!

  As this day comes to a close, I would like to wish everyone a great new week starting tomorrow! Keep in touch because I'll be attempting to post a new photo every day. :)

Photo-a-Day Challenge

  Lately, I've been lamenting over the fact that I'm really not that great of a blogger. I don't often have any regaling tales of my life to share, and seeing as this is my photography blog, I really feel like I need to keep up with at least a weekly post.

  To help myself get into the groove of becoming a better blogger, I have decided to embark on a formidable journey: a daily photo challenge. It's seems to be a trend nowadays for people to commit to monthly photo challenges, so why not give it a shot? I think it would be fun to get my creative juices flowing by posting a photo a day!

  As I'm sure you've noticed, I've already missed three days. Four, if you include today.

  Better late than never? ;)

  I was going to attempt to catch up by posting the four photos I have missed so far in the challenge, but Blogger seems to be having issues (again) and it isn't allowing me to upload pictures at all. I'll try again tomorrow, I suppose.

  In other news, I've done a bit of updating on my website! If you haven't already seen it and you're interested, check it out HERE.
