New Experiences..

Hey everyone!


Last weekend I took my first try at portrait pictures. Man, was it a lot harder than I thought!
I took off with my 2 nieces and my 5 year old nephew to the farm to get some pictures of them together for fun. Three kids was quite a handful to take on for a first try at portraits, let me tell you! If two of the kids were looking at you, the other wasn't, or one had hair in their face and so on.. it was an experience to say the least! As we ventured out into a pasture full of weeds, none of the kids complained one bit! They were great to work with and were constantly helping me out with more ideas and thanking me for taking their pictures.. They were awesome!
We all came away with some scratches and some bug bites, but it was well worth it and a lot of fun!!


Here are some of my favorites:






This was a new pose idea I came up with and it turned out really cute!





They really do love eachother ;).




There were so many great pictures to choose from!
This was definitely a great learning experience for me and the kids had a great time too. Right now I'm working on getting more and more experience and seeing what ideas work and which ideas don't. 
If you need any pictures taken of your kids or family I'd be glad to help you out! :)

Practice makes perfect..

Lately I've been working to get out of this lazy funk I've been in and the laziness stops today!


If you haven't noticed, the blog was redesigned last month and it now features my new logo I've been working on :). I took the background picture of my Grandma's black eyed susans in her wildflower patch. They are so simple and beautiful.


Those wildflowers have provided me with a lot of inspiration and actually motivation to keep taking pictures and practicing with my camera. I feel that these pictures could be featured along with any type of decorating style. They can warm up a room with their bright colors and bring in a touch of summer to any decor. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do!


The colors are gorgeous!

Can you imagine this picture on your wall? :)

The poppies really thrived this year. Everyday I came to my grandma's house there were more and more!

What a different pink coloring..

As I said before.. The poppies were everywhere. With this picture I tried something different with muting the colors.. What do you think?

I love wildflowers!

Do you see the bee?




Summer :).
These pictures turned out much better than I had originally thought they would..I can't wait to hang them up in my new apartment next year. School is coming way too fast, but I'm trying to take advantage of my last weeks on the farm and in the country.. College doesn't even compare :).


More to come soon!
