Because I’m a nice girlfriend… chocolate covered pretzels 🙂  

I’d say my first attempt at setting monthly goals was a success. In case you missed it, check out the recap for August here. September is jam packed with family photos shoots, weddings, engagement sessions, and promotional events. While I couldn’t be more thrilled and thankful for my schedule picking up, I’m naturally a little apprehensive […]

In the beginning of the month, I set a list of goals I wanted to achieve in August. The idea was that by posting them on the internet for all of you to read, it would force me to stick to them or be extra disappointed in myself if I don’t. With the month nearing the […]

Every now and again, someone randomly goes out of their way to be nice to me. Whether it be an old friend, a classmate from high school, my boyfriend Danny, or a stranger walking down the street, their kindness and generosity never cease to amaze me (and also puts the biggest smile on my face).

Over a year ago, I started a blog section of my website that I am embarrassed to say, did not keep very up to date. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean there isn’t some great content in there. Which I’m sure no one had the pleasure of reading since it was tucked away in a pseudo-blog page […]

Because Jasmine Star’s “Friday Randomness” blog cracks me up, and my cousin Tiffany’s “This Makes Me Laugh” board on Pinterest kept me sitting in my cubicle trying to contain my laughter for a good 10 minutes… I’m spreading the laughter. Happy Friday 🙂 It literally took me 20 seconds to find the cat… NOOOOOO!!! Danny […]

I finally did it. About a week after I moved into my new apartment, before I was able to adjust to paying rent, buying my own toilet paper, and blowing through a full tank of gas in less than a week (when I was used to going almost two weeks without having to fill up)… […]

Last month, I took some photos of my brother’s collectors item BMW. It’s an extremely rare model and he wanted to get some artistic and action shots. So, I did the best I could during the shoot; edited, posted, and blogged like normal; and didn’t think anything would come from it since I am primarily […]

While I know you all desperately look forward to reading my blog posts about what’s going on in my personal life at the moment (yawn), I’ve decided to tackle another one of my August goals… #2: Create blog categories and [hopefully] stick to them. Since things in the photography world are a little slow for […]
