A little of what I've been up to lately....

Lately I have really been trying to learn all I can about photography and get as much practice as I can get. I have actually even started a new blog that is just for my photography. There is not much on there yet but I will post more as I go! You can check it out at patchworkphotos.blogspot.com. Hopefully in not too long I will have a real website! There are more pictures from the sessions below on the blog right now so make sure to have a look!

I was able to do a fun session with some cute cousins. They were 5 kids under the age of 7! I was a little nervous at first but it turned out so great!! These are just a couple from that shoot.





I think this picture is so cute, even though little Gracie on the end looks a little terrified!


A couple of weeks before that I got to practice on my cute nephew Hunter. My sister is always willing to let me use her children as models!

It's probably time for a new post,,,,

Well it has been quite a while since I blogged last. Even though we haven't been up to much lately I thought there were a few things we could catch up on. On Wednesday my little brother Mathis left for a 2 year mission to Madagascar. We were able to go to dinner with the family to Tepenyaki on Tuesday for Mathis' last dinner before he left. It was a lot of fun! Afterwards, we went to my Dad's house where Mathis was set apart as a missionary. We are sad to have him leave for so long and will miss him. We know he will be such a great missionary though and teach a lot of people about the gospel.

After Mathis' farewell a couple of weeks ago


Mathis enjoying his yummy dinner.




Wednesday was my Mom's birthday so I went to her house for some cake and ice cream that night. Tim was unable to come because he had a soccer game. I have a great Mom and I am so grateful for her!

Happy Birthday Mom! Love you!

As far as things go for me and Tim, there hasn't been much to blog about. Tim has been playing soccer like crazy still but that should slow down a bit until about August. I have been really trying to work on getting into photography and will post some pictures pretty soon here. We are just hoping the rain will stop coming back so we can enjoy summer!
