i love having friends with similar interests. i love photography but kind of put it down for a myriad of reasons, one being motivation. my fab friend, becca, loves photography. she got together some other friends, some i know, most that i don't, for an online photo group of sorts. we will be shooting through the alphabet, posting once a week a photo that is our interpretation of that week's

i am feeling twitchy this morning. actually, i've been feeling twitchy this past month. i dove right in to working long hours and weekends... at my regular job. i'm finding that i am starting to like it. after 18 months. this is all good, except for the extra long hours. the not so good? i am a strong, confident woman. i know what i want out of life. but i chicken out. i am afraid to ask for

if fabulous weekends could be scripted, with every player knowing their lines and performing them flawlessly, they wouldn't even come close to how amazingly perfect this past weekend was. for the last few months, year, YEARS... i had been talking about turning 30. how i wasn't ready for it, how it seemed so scary, how there was still so much in my life that i thought i would have accomplished

i have been submitting photos to the *i heart faces* challenges since february (even though i had been stalking it much longer than that...) this past challenge was all about teens, and i knew i had a great photo for this challenge. imagine my surprise when, 1) i log onto fb and see it featured on their fb page and 2) when i got up this morning and saw that my photo was an angie and amy favorite!

i am so super excited about this weeks iheartfaces challenge theme. it's celebrating teens this week and i have just the right shot for it! a few weeks back, i got a call from my pastor's daughter on the day of her prom. she was wondering if i could meet her and her bf at the subway to snap a few shots before they took septa to their prom (because they're boss, that's why.) i made it just in

i know i have talked about how excited i was to attend the iheartfaces photo walk, and let me tell you: it met way exceeded my high expectations! i love, love, LOVE meeting new people, and add into that people who love to do what I love? perfection. i wanted to share a few of my front-runner faves from yesterday, but be warned- there may be more posts highlighting the pics... or just obsessive

back in april, i blogged about the excitedness of being able to attend the first i heart faces photo walk in philadelphia. i am stoked because today is finally the day. i think there are 35 of us that will come together in the chestnut hill section of the city to do what we all love to do... photograph everything! i have no expectations for today beings that i have never gone to one of these or

i'm have this salad that i eat in the warm summer months that is so, so delicious. it's a mixture of peppers, tomatoes, avocado, vinaigrette, onion, and beans. i have some marinating in the fridge and it's taking everything in me to not eat it before it's had time to sit... so, i'll share with you how to make it and some yummy pics, in the hopes that it will be ready by the time this post is!

i was feeling antsy and a little down tonight. which is weird, considering i had a pretty great day at work... had a good talk with a coworker, who was so encouraging and received a compliment that lifted my spirits. but, i didn't know how to make that feeling last. the feeling that all is right with my world. i crashed pretty hard due to a copious amount of coffee and a poor night's sleep. it

i've been playing around a ton with editing. it's great to see an awesome image and then, give it that little boost to make it spectacular! this morning, i was editing... me! i wanted to see how just bumping up one bit of an image can change the mood. what do you think?

becca tagged me in her post about where she'll be in ten years and now i'm supposed to make my own post about where i'll be in ten years. bear with me... if i thought turning 30 is hard, in ten years, that three will look strangely like a four. when i think about where i will be in 2020 (whoa!), it makes me think of where i was in 2000. i had just finished up at community college and hadn't quite

a few months ago, i was reading about these this thing called a "photo walk" that i had never heard of. basically, it's a group of photographer's who meet up and walk through a town taking pictures, and building their portfolios. a few weeks ago, i got an email that my favorite photog website was going to be hosting a nation wide photo walk... long story short, i just signed up for my first ever

it's been a few weeks since i have entered an i heart faces challenge... i had only worked with diptych's before and not full collages in photoshop, so this one took a little figuring out but i am super happy with the results! last spring, i photographed these adorable best friend's for their birthday's and we had a BLAST! 3 giggling girls and their brother's being chased around by a photographer

It's that time of the week again... that's right, it's i heart faces challenge time! I'm so excited about this challenge because I LOVE shooting on angles. I had the joy to spend this past weekend with my lovely friend, Kara and her fab baby, J! We went to the playground and I just got to snap away to my hearts content. Usually J makes what her family calls her "outside face," where she scrunches

i've been having a tough time lately. i've been sullen and mopey. i have not been fun to be around (at least in my own company...) let's chalk some of that up to the gray, depressing days of winter. yeah, that sounds good. but i know that i can't blame it all on the weather. i could say that it's because i'm turning 29 again 30 and i'm a little, ok a lot freaked out about it. turning 30 has

i have a blog post that i want to share. but it is very personal. it is a part of me. sometimes i may sound a bit whiny. or i may come across as strong in parts. weak in others.i have some major anxiety about being transparent. but i feel there is catharsis in sharing.  so i will push the publish button at some point. but for now it is just a draft.

I feel like I am lost in the middle of nowhere... Well, not really lost, so much as house-sitting in the middle of nowhere. From this past Saturday til Sunday. That long without my personal computer, the new computer that holds over 19,000 pictures, with which I use to regularly blog. I guess I am lost, then. But just so you know, I haven't forgotten about you. (And am I referring to my blog like

Here is this week's entry into the iheartfaces photo challenge for "Hands On Fun." This sweet little boy lights up a room and loves to give cuddles. I chose this picture because he seemed so unaware of his surroundings and it looks like he is whispering a little prayer.Check out the other great hands pictures at heartfaces and maybe enter your own!

As soon as I learned the theme for this weeks iheartface's photo challenge, I knew exactly what photo I wanted to use. This photo comes from Chad and Kelli's wedding (which was oodles of fun!). I was snapping a photo of the bride and groom, when Amy danced her way in... not the best technically, but a great capture! Head on over to iheartfaces to check out more fantastic, fun dance pictures!

~Update~    I brought a batch of the brownies raved about mentioned later in this post to work today. The verdict? A-maz-ing! I actually had one co-worker say, "You are going to make some man happy and fat!" High praise, right? Now, if only that praise could turn into the truth, like now? That would be even better! ~Original Post~ Pardon me, I love alliteration! I am completely obsessed with

This past Saturday I did my first maternity shoot. It was my friend, Tara's, sister. I drove up for the shower and stayed for the shoot. They were such troopers... it was about 15 degrees that day and they indulged me with a few shots at the playground. I have to admit that I am super nervous about how these photos are going to be received. Here is a sneak peek of some. Please be honest but

I've decided to enter another photo contest today and I need help picking which picture I want to use. It's a contest through I Heart Faces and it is in honor of girlfriends for Blissdom '10. The theme is "Girlfriends" and my first thought was to use one of the pics I snapped of the three lovely best friends from last May. But the problem is, I can't decide which one I like better. This is where

I haven't been obsessively taking pics for about the last month or so. When I was sick, my joints hurt so bad that I couldn't even pic up my camera. That's when you know it must have been bad. The problem now, is that I am feeling the need to create but I have no recent pics to work on. But I happen to have thousand upon thousands of pics from the last few years that I can work on. I can't

I had trouble waking up this morning. I was cranky, tired, and had a massive headache. I stumbled downstairs to start the coffee pot and to drink as much coffee as possible this morning. Then, I headed back upstairs to get on facebook and check twitter. I signed on to my email and saw this. Sometime this morning, the people of Haiti encountered another earthquake. Of 6.1 magnitude. That's almost

2010 started out in a way that I hope never to repeat. I woke up on the morning of the 2nd with a fever and aches. This fever lasted for FIVE DAYS! That's right, 5! Turns out I had Fifths Disease or, Roseola. Fever, sunburn-like rash,and joint pain for quite some time after you are no longer ill. I'm hoping with this illness out of the way, 2010 can only get better! For some reason, I have a

I keep meaning to blog about Disney but keep putting it off. Here is a pic I took crossing over one of the bridges! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone I took the above photo and did a little editing. I love how it turned out! I've had a lot of fun with the photoshop mobile app that I have on my iPod. Here's a few more from my trip!    I love how these turned out!

I love Savannah. No, I mean I am crazy in love with this town. The charm, the architecture, the people... the beach right down the road. I may have to make this my go-to city for vacations. That's how much I love it. I got a few pictures when we went downtown yesterday, which I will post when I get home, before my dad started not feeling well and needed to get back to the hotel. But all is good,

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to talk a little bit about what I am thankful. Let's see. My family, my amazing friends, having somewhere to celebrate the holiday, my car, Milicent and so much more. I'm stoked and thankful that my vacation starts officially TOMORROW! We pack up the car and hit the road around 7:30! wOOt! Enjoy your day and remember what makes you

Mickey Mouse! This time next week, my mom, pop, and I should be arriving at Walt Disney World. Yeah, I'm pretty much super excited for this vacation. For quite a few reasons, too. Let's see. I haven't been on an actual vacation since 2002, and technically that was a Mission Trip, but it was so much fun that it was like a vacation (where the "final destination" was WDW.) Before that, it was the

Could I really be getting a car? Ok, so it's nothing fancy and it certainly won't be the most attractive thing on the road but it will be mine. Here's the stock photo of what it looks like. It's a 1996 Buick Century Wagon. And yes, it was previously driven around by a grandma. It seems I have a penchant for old lady cars! I had been trying to stay patient and trust that God had something out

I didn't think so. I have no other excuse for myself other than being slightly busy with baby-sitting, seeing friends with their 4 day old babies, booking photo shoots, working, and just lazing around. (Wow! I just made myself look really busy!)But really, there hasn't been much going on here but next week I have two shoots and the following week I have an e-session and a birthday party! I can't

This past Sunday, I finally got to meet up with my lovely friend Kara (and her fab husband, Jesse) and I finally got to meet her beautiful baby, Juliana! I believe that Juliana and I are now best friends, and I am totally smitten with her. And here is why...How can you not love this face?A great time was had by all and it was just so nice to sit and chat with an old friend. Just hanging out with

There is a story behind my picture of the week this week. (Although, there usually is a story where I am concerned. I have had this uber-crappy week. I would love to enthrall you with all the fabulous details but I will just leave it at this. I am a car jinx.This picture comes from my time on the turnpike on Wednesday after work. The tire shredded while I was driving. And apparently there is a

Ok, so I'm inconsistent at best with posting a picture of the week. Hey, could be worse... I could have skipped posting my picture of the day for a month. This week's picture...I went to Chinatown last week. And took tons of pictures. Perhaps I will post some others at a later date. Perhaps.

I am more than a little narcissistic. I want everyone to know what I am doing, why I am doing that, what led me to decide that this was the right thing to do, and my feelings attributed to said event. But I am equal opportunity. I fully expect you to read my facebook status/tweet/blog update but you better believe that I will be manically checking yours for an update. It's one of the reasons why

A few weeks back, my friend Brooke blogged about these fabulous graham cracker cupcakes that she had found. While she kept the basic cupcake recipe the same as she found it from Vanilla Garlic, she made a slight adjustment to the filling and topping. What Brooke did, and for this recipe I did too, is after you spoon the batter into the cups, put two chocolate squares on top. You could use one or

I'm totally stealing this idea from Becca... I hope you're okay with that! I know that I don't always have my camera on me, which is a cause for consternation, by the way. So I know I won't get a picture a day. But I at least get a couple in during the week. I am definitely going to try to remember to update at least once a week with this new Picture of the Week feature.Here's my first picture

Tonight is the first episode of this season of The Biggest Loser. Sometimes it's really hard to see people who are where I was at one point in my life. I'm not saying that I was 400lbs but I was at a point where as much as I acted like I was fabulous, I felt wretched. I looked at myself and tried to make myself believe that I was pretty, talented, funny. Mostly funny. The fat friend is always

My mom and I have been planning our trip to Disney in November for the last 6 months. (*Edit- btw, my pop is going with us but it's my mom and I that are mostly planning the trip. He just wants to be told where to be and at what time! Typical guy!) We are now under 100 days and we are so super stoked! I have become obsessed with everything Disney.

As I was so wonderfully reminded by Becca, I completely "forgot" to update my blog like promised. I say "forgot" because at one point I looked at it and thought, "Hmm, I should do that." And then promptly turned on the TV and got some ice cream. Mmmmm, ice cream. But, I digress.Here's what's been going on in my life as late. I've been to the beach!

So, for months now I have been talking about K&C's wedding. It finally happened! It was such a blast and God really did make them for one another.Friday night was looking really scary, weather-wise. It had drizzled and rained on and off throughout the entire rehearsal. Right as we are getting ready to leave and go to dinner, downpour! But, the good news is, that they had changed the weather

I will be turning 29 for the first time... normally I celebrate in huge ways but this year has been a little more low key.2) Next year, when I celebrate 29, part 2, I am going to do it in a very big way! I hope to have a huge party with all of my friends and family. Hey, if I have to turn that number that I don't want to turn, I might as well do it in style!3)

So, today is 1 week until K&C's wedding!! So exciting! Tonight we are taking Kelli out for her Bachelorette Party. I won't reveal what we're doing on here because there is a chance that Kelli might see this, but my question is... what did you ladies do for your parties? Was it classy and chic? Laid back and chill? Rowdy and raucous? Do you think it becomes tit for tat- if the guys go to a strip

I really, really try to remember to write more than once a week but it just never seems to happen that way. But, what are you going to do? Here are some long awaited pics (less than a week old!) from the festivities of the weekend!Let's start with Jordin... vote for her for Cutest Baby!

Wold you like to know how to spell frustration? O-L-D C-A-R. Actually C-A-R spells frustration. A few weeks ago, my car did this no starting thing. We put a new battery in it. Then two weeks ago, the car did the no starting thing again. This time we took it to the mechanic and he couldn't find the problem. Was it the starter? The alternator? He didn't want to put one in and have me spend $400 and

Oops, I think it has now been a week since I have blogged anything. So much for every other day. Well, in my defense, I really have been pretty busy since then. And by busy, I mean I worked out, babysat, worked out some more, and laid in the sun reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Piccoult. (I tried to hyperlink back to her site, but apparently, you can't. So you'll have to go there yourself, if

Recently I have been thinking a lot about predestination. I know, that's quite a heady subject for 7:45 in the morning. Here's what I've been thinking; in Ephesians 1 Paul speaks an awful lot on the subject of predestination and I just am not sure I fully understand it. I know God calls us and has plans for us, i.e., Jeremiah 29:11, but where does free will step in? If God foreknew everything

Aaron Edward Walker! My mom and I took a visit down to the hospital to visit Nana and to visit the new little one. What a handsome little guy.

BOY!! Aaron Edward Walker graced the world with his presence on June 19, 2009, a little before noon. He weighed in at 7 lbs, 4 oz, and was 21.5 inches long! Mama and baby are doing great! I hope to get in to meet him very soon and, of course, will be posting pictures! Stay tuned...

NanaSue will have a brand new baby at some point in the next 24 hours! Holy cow, it's so exciting. Her little boy, Andrew, is the picture in the banner of this blog and he is one of my favorite subjects to photograph. Now, there will be two for me to play around with! Look for new baby pictures coming at some point in the future. I figure, I should wait at least a couple weeks before I storm the

Especially when you take a million pictures of the same flower. Does anyone else do that? Find one subject and take mulitple shots over a long period of time?

I had the amazing opportunity to photograph three best girlfriends who have been inseparable since infancy. Ok, so they are only 3 years old, but hey, that's a lifetime's friendship to them. Now, I haven't had the chance to edit all of the pictures, but I wanted to get some posted before time got away from me. And wait until you see these kids. Adorable doesn't even begin to describe them. We

So, every Monday night, I think, "Don't forget to blog your Ten on Tuesday." Every Monday night. And what happens when Tuesday rolls around? I forget. Or rather, I start of the day with good intentions, but between work, Shredding, running, and church functions, Tuesday usually disappears on a cloud. Or something like that. I just wanted you all to know that, while I think blogging ten things

I wanted to post at least one picture from Kelli's shower yesterday while had the chance. Don't worry, I will be posting more later plus, today is Photoshoot Day(provided the weather holds up!), so I will be posting those as well. Soon. I promise. All of Kelli's roomies that were present!Bridal Party... aren't we classy?

Phew! This is day two of a super busy weekend. Last night was dinner at P.F. Chang's with the girls from Goddard. Hanging out with them makes me miss seeing hem everyday and wish that I could keep my pay rate but work with the kidd-o's again. But I have to remind myself that it's not all sunshine and daisies. That I was stressed on a continuing basis and that it just wasn't where I was supposed

but I'm going to do my Ten for Tuesday today, since I didn't have time/forgot to do it yesterday.Here goes:1) I'm doing the Shred dvd and it is hard core. But then I transform into an idiot and go running with the walking group at church. (Maybe twice the exercise= twice the results?)2) I am re-reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince before the movie comes out. And I'm not gonna lie, I

Ok, so I am totally cheating with this post but, there you have it, it is what it is, and all those other cliche's about, basically, taking the easy way out. I get home at night after having been on the computer all day at work, and I just can't sit and blog. I really want to, honest I do. Because you all know how much I love having everyone know as much about me as possible! Maybe my goal

I am so embarrassed... I almost wrote a super sappy, TMI post about fulfillment and loneliness and how we define what makes us happy.Phew. Dodged a bullet on that one. I can NOT do that to myself today, or any other day.Tell me, have you ever started to write a post and then had second thoughts about the direction it was taking?For your troubles, you get a flower.Don't say I never give you

I can't believe it's already time for another installment! I am totally with Mauby and Brookiellen.Also, it makes it go a little faster when you post your Tuesday post on Friday... ;)1) I had a fab time at the photo shoot with Brooke and Cash. He was adorable and fun and super photogenic! And it helps that Brooke has an Etsy shop and understands the kind of pictures that need to be taken for a

Ok, so I was reminded that I never followed through with my Ten Thing Tuesday.That's my fact number 1... I have really good intentions but I have a hard time following through with them.2. I like my job but sometimes I wonder if I should go into photography as a career.3. I went car shopping last night and felt utterly frustrated.

I forgot that I was going to write ten things on Tuesday as a way to keep up with my blog as learned of from Mauby's and The Blue Door as a way to keep a consistent update of my blog. But two things happened tonight.One- I came up with a topic on my own.Two- I was lazy and didn't feel like putting in the effort to come up with 10 fascinating points for the day.So, hopefully, I will remember and

I was watching My Boys tonight (which I highly recommend, it's hilarious) and they were talking about Facebook and virtual friendships. One of the characters, "Kenny," updated his status when he went to the bathroom and then again when he was finished. It made me wonder, how much information is too much? I could extol the virtues of social networking by claiming that I get to keep more in touch

I had a wonderful time taking the e-pics of my friend Heather and her fiance Eric. This was the first time I had done an e-session, so I was a little nervous. But I didn't have to worry because they were such a blast to work with. I took almost 600 pictures all afternoon and can't wait until I edit them. (Well, not all of them but a good bit!)Anyway, enough of the chatter... let's see some

I don't know how regular bloggers always come up with something to say every time they write... What do people find interesting? What keeps them coming back for more? I guess I could write about the amazing dinner that I made that has me licking the bowl clean. Or perhaps, I will write about how I spent time sitting in traffic. What about how I spilled my coffee? What brings people coming back

I had a blast today! I spent over two hours, taking over 300 pictures at the Morris Arboretum. I loved it so much that I got a membership so that I can go back as often as I want. I loved walking around and seeing all the different plants and sculptures and I can't wait to get back and see it when everything is blooming. I passed one lovely, older gentleman who commented, "It's spring!" My

I just saw someone's photography blog and it made me feel frustrated that I haven't actively sought out people to learn from and also that I haven't posted any pictures in a while...So here are a couple that I took for my friends of their adorable son!

And goes and goes without ever stopping. Life. It moves on and we have the choice to either sit back and watch it fly by, ignorant and unaware of what we are missing, or we can pull up our big girl panties and dive in to live life to the fullest. I think for the last few years I have been living with the former as my attitude. It's not the most exciting way to be but it is, at it's most basic,

It has finally happened, my friends. I have finally found the moxie, and the new job, to get me to leave my current job. My last day at school will be February 13th and I know it is going to be a very sad, emotional day for me. I have become such good friends with some of my co-workers, that I can't imagine going a day without seeing and talking to them. I really was blessed with such great

I've been told the holidays have a tendency to make a person lonely and slightly miserable. Not by any one person but by society and the media. But if I have to go to one more family or church function by myself and go home by myself, I might go crazy. And it's not when I am in the midst of the celebrations, it's after. After I've gone home or after everyone has left and I am left to clean up.

Here are some things that I think of on Thanksgiving... How thankful I am for my family, but how I wish it weren't just the five people in my family... it's like the same old dinner at my mom's but transported to my house with a turkey.I hope that maybe one year it will be my brothers and I, plus spouses and children.We shall see.And, since when did my brother have to be entertained?
