An Ugly Sweater Christmas
I already mentioned that my wonderful husband bought me a brand new camera for christmas this year. When we got to my sister's house for christmas my dad hijacked my camera and took pictures with it pretty much all day. He took quite a few random pictures but here are a few of my favorites he took this year. I should mention that this year for christmas we had a "ugly christmas sweater" theme. Clearly my cousin took the top prize for her creative and funny sweater.

I was so excited when my friend Jennifer told me she was pregnant. I couldn't wait to take some maternity pictures for her. This was my first actual "photo shoot" with a person in it. I am fairly happy with how it turned out. I took this with my old camera that was hanging on for dear life, so I was having some issues with it still. But all considering I think they came out pretty good. One thing I need to really work on is my editing skills. So here is the beautiful Jennifer.

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to open a brand new camera for Christmas this year. My wonderful husband bought me a Canon 60d which is a night and day difference from my 10 year old Canon Rebel that I was using. I love, love, love my new camera. I have aleady done some exciting things with it this year. I was able to use it to photograph a birth and am excited to do my first newborn session with it in the next week.
I'm super excited about the new year and what it will bring. I am thankful for God's blessings and can't wait to share some of it with you. Stay tuned! Read more...Film Talk Friday - The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Still Waiting...
Two weeks ago I was involved in an accident in my car. No one was injured but the lady that hit me had forgot her purse at the local Food 4 Less and was freaking out and in a hurry. Needless to say she changed lanes and didn't see me sitting in the lane next to her. That's right I was just sitting next to her waiting for the light. I have been waiting on her insurance to get my car fixed but because of the holidays it has taken forever to hear back from them. I had to send them some pictures today of the car. The damage isn't that bad everything still works and is driveable. So I am hoping my car will be back to its original condition within the next few weeks. I am thankful that it was only little cosmetic damage and no one was injured. Safe driving everyone!!
