I haven't posted in a while....well in a LONG time. I still enjoy taking pictures, and even though I am not certain that anyone checks my blog I am going to try to keep it up to date with pictures I have taken. So since I last posted...

We took a trip to McGee Farms!

Kate's 1st Birthday and Easter

We went to Chuck E Cheese's on Thursday (Kate's actual birthday) We all had just as much fun as Kate did.

Kate's 1st Birthday Party. She was just starting to dig into the cake so everyone got out all the cameras.

She really liked it!

She started being silly.

Kate got lots of nice presents from everyone.

I came across some pictures from Thanksgiving and thought I would put them up.

The wonderful meal mom makes every year. We get to eat in the dinning room! :)

We took lots of pictures after dinner.

The whole clan...almost ( We are ready for Katie and Brett in next year's photo! :) )

Sorry about the shadow :(

I love this little girl!

Josh and Bonnie's Photoshoot

Josh and Bonnie got engaged over Thanksgiving break! I was so happy and excited. Josh asked me to take some pictures for them after they got engaged. I had so much fun taking pictures of them. I just thought I would put some of the pictures up on the blog.

UA Campus Pictures

I took my camera on campus the other day and snapped a few pictures. I wanted to get some pretty pictures on the quad, but a lot of the trees on the quad have not yet changed colors. Here are some of the pictures that I thought turned out the best.

This little yellow tree looked like it was playing peek-a-boo with me.

I just thought everyone should get a chance to see these gorgeous pictures of my niece, Kate.

Here are some more nature pictures I took a while ago. A few are taken in Canada and some at the Sipsey Wilderness.

Here are some paintings that I have done for my apartment. I know it seems like a lot for only 1 apartment, but I find painting very relaxing. This is something I enjoy doing when I don't have anything to photograph. :)

I have been pretty busy lately with school work and having to drive 30 minutes to Brookwood High School for my clinical experiences. Tomorrow will be my last day of driving. I have not been able to take any pictures recently. However I managed to do a few paintings on Sunday night and Monday morning. I'll try to post pictures of the paintings I did tomorrow.

I recently made my first large photography purchase. I received my set of 23 filters. I am so excited about getting to use them. Hopefully, I will have some pictures up soon showing the capabilities of the new purchase. :)

I'm hoping to have a photo shoot with Josh and Bonnie within the next few weeks. I also plan on having a photo shoot with Faith and Billy.

we'll see...

Here goes. My first blog post. I am studying to be a high school math teacher. In addition to becoming a teacher, I would love to be a photographer. I don't want to be a big time professional photographer. But I would love to do photo shoots for people I am close to such as engagement pictures, baby pictures, children pictures, and family pictures. Aside from enjoy photographing families and future families, I love photographing God's beautiful creation. There is nothing more breath-taking than simple yet amazing scenes God has painted for us. His creation is everywhere, and His love is evident in all of our lives.

My brother gave me the idea of posting some of my nature shots online and seeing if anyone would be interested in purchasing them. He told me that previously he has searched online stores such as eBay to find unique pictures of nature. He told me that I might find this little business to be quite profitable on the side.

I'm going to post a few shots of pictures that I have already taken. I hope you like them. The first few are nature shots, and the ones following are shots I have taken for friends. Let me know what you think. :)

Here are a few pictures I took for my friends. I played around with them on photoshop a little. I had a great time taking these pictures for them.

Here are pictures of Brett's Neice and Nephew. (a little Father's Day photo shoot)

And here is my beautiful niece, Kate!

Well...hope you liked my pictures. I'd love to hear any comments on my pictures or ideas. I probably won't be blogging for a little while because I'm not taking pictures for people all the time. :)
