Three weddings!
I am just so excited things are looking up for me!

Woes

So...........

I went to my first Fundamentals of Design class on Tuesday.
Guys..this class is dreaded be everyone and when I say everyone I mean EVERYONE! I have known people to quit TCC due to this class. Ugh, I was fine up until the teacher said expect to have 6-10 hours a week worth of homework to do. Boy oh boy I can't wait. I just hope juggling work, this class and Eng 112 and photography will work for me this year.

I can do it.
I can do it.
I can do it.

Maybe if I type it enough, it will eventually come true, right?

Here's to hoping college will be over for me one day, one day soon!

2010...hoping for something!!

Well dear readers...if any I am making one of my new year resolutions to blog more. Just just an update frequently..I am talking about blogging fever. Even though my subject will be photography, I am sure everyone will love my life outside of it, even if it is not that grand.

I am beginning a new semester of school today. I wish I could just be a full time student and not worry about working and etc...but alas maybe it will happen some day. I can only go to school half time but I still enjoy it none the less. I am taking English 112 and Fundamentals of Design.

I hope to be amazing in these classes and recieve A's. I will keep you posted.

As for photography I have two booked clients so far. For the first time ever!, someone found me through a wedding photo website and I am ecstatic about it! Her wedding is in March. I feel the more I put myself out there the more clients I will receive.


In my Eng 112 online class our first assignment was to post something about ourselves, after reading various students I read someone who was getting married in September, so naturally I shot her an email and suggested she check out my work.

I'm still waiting for an email back

Here's to hoping to one more gig!

My good friend and Aspiring photographer Ashley Whitlow took some photos of me which I love! Here they are. I am trying to do a tiny shoot of me every time I lose 10 pounds, haha we shall see if it works!

Whears- Wedding

The ship bobbed slowly up and down as I climbed aboard the American Rover sail ship. It was beautiful. I was so nervous/ excited I could barely keep it together. The ceremony was stunning, I was stuck in a small corner due to the smallness of the boat and the bride and groom wanting me not not move alot. I was perfectly happy with anything they wanted, after all it was their day, and it was a beautiful day.
The rain hit at 8 p.m well into the reception. But no one seemed angry about it, the bride simply said, 'They are drops of love'. Their day was perfect. It so many ways I see Steve and Shellie like two lost puzzle pieces who wandered so long where their adjoining piece was, and they both found it. They fit perfectly.
Here are some of the favorites.

Whears- Engagement

I met Steve in church awhile back. He is a great guy and I knew he would find an amazing woman. Shellie entered in Steve's life and the rest is history. He has two boys, she has two girls, all around the same age. How perfect is that? Steve and Shellie have an amazing love, I loved photographing them for their engagement pictures. They were a couple that I didn't have to pose, they already knew what came naturally to them...and the kids...well I love shooting kids, so in the end the photos turned out pretty amazing if you ask me.
We headed down to Norfolk Botanical Gardens and the scenery is awesome. Here are a few faves from the day.

Ashley W.-Portraits.

I remember meeting Ashley in second grade and becoming best friends. We talked about boys, school, and well...probably alot more things but that was 12 years ago. We've grown up going to the same schools, had the same classes and still keep in good touch.
She is an aspiring photographer with loads of potential. I had fun shooting with her, and I hope to do more shoots with her over the years.
Here are some of the faves!
