ASU Band Day!

So this weekend I went to see my sister and the rest of the DRHS Marching Band perform at ASU Band Day! It was a great show and I got some great shots as well! Here are a few :)

This was one of the bands that went on before them... I forgot their name...haha

 Love the drama!!

Still Life!

I was doing some shots for my photography class and began playing with light (even though that was not part of the project) Anyways, here are some of the results from my still life photoshoot!

I thought the look of these withering roses worked with the lighting so well and it has good depth of field.

I did a lot of variations in the placement of the light source on my zebra flower so here they are:

Sometimes you just need someone to listen

Do you ever have those times when you have so many thoughts, feelings, and/or emotions all bottled up inside of you, that you think you may just explode??? I have felt like that! Tonight I went out to coffee with Grace and it was probably the best thing for me right now! It's not like I'm sad or depressed and need to spill my guts, but I just needed someone to listen to what is going on in my life! I didn't need advice or a shoulder to cry on, just one pair of ears, eager to hear what I had to say! I hope that I can be that pair of ears to her and others that need it. Will you be the one there to listen to other people?

Thank you Grace! <3

Don't believe everything you hear

I have found the hard way that the vast majority of people do not keep their promises. I guess I was fairly silly and naive to think that a promise would actually be kept. It really kills me inside to see people saying untrue things about me because you think that talking crap about me makes you look like a better person.

So to everyone: there is two sides to every story. Please hear both sides before jumping to conclusions. Don't judge a person based on what someone else tells you.

Why??

Because it hurts.

Even if they try to hold their head up high and act unaffected,


it hurts.


Just think of that next time you are feeling in the mood to stab someone in the back.

Doggies After Bathtime :) (So cute!)

So Saturday was a busy day because after my Sunrise Photoshoot I came home to find two adorable, but dirty dogs that haven't been washed in probably over a month! So I grabbed the leash, the hose, and some doggie shampoo and got to cleaning! The after math was two crazy dogs so that is why I call this collection of photos "Doggies After Bathtime" :) Hope you enjoy!

This is Chloe (or ChloBear as I like to call her hehe)

Chloe looooves to run when she is wet! She was going to fast at one time that she completely collided with our rain bucket!! Haha what a silly girl! 

Look at this!!! This is pretty much my favorite photo of Chloe EVER!

Awwww :) Joey and Chloe! What a cute couple!! Their names even rhyme! ;)

Look at this!! I love it :) Haha Chloe was so hyper! 

Look at the silly dogs wrestling :)

Aren't they ferocious??? :)

Sunrise Photoshoot!

On Saturday I decided to wake up bright and early to go on a Sunrise Photoshoot with my daddy!! (he got some great shots too)  It was absolutely beautiful and I got some stunning photos! I am so excited to show them to you! Here they are! (P.S. these are not edited at all!)

Here there was a little, random, pink cloud :) isn't it cute???

I loved the light coming through this tree's leaves.

The sun is just beginning to come up over the mountains.

I love this one, probably my favorite! :)

Yep, I was in the middle of the road takin' pictures. Imma rebel ;)

Isn't God's creation amazing?!?!

Overall it was a great morning for a photoshoot and I'm glad I got to catch a small glimpse of God's glory and beautiful creation!
