Hey, guys!So things are changing yet again on this blog. At the moment, I am in the process of preparing and raising money for a missions trip I want to do this summer in Japan. Because of this, posts might be less often than they've been. :PAnd, from January 1st to June 1st, I will be doing things different. All types of photoshoots will be $50. Family, portrait/senior, couple, children, baby,

Meet the Meszaros. They are one of my favorite families in the universe. :) Seriously. I love them all to pieces. My dad started a military family caregroup at our church in late winter this year, and they were among the first to join. I'm soooo glad they did. Their family always has something fun going on. We'll be talking with them for hours about fun activities they do, adventures they've

Oh hey! So. Some news. I dyed my hair!! I have been wanting to for a while now, and every time my brothers had a dye kit I would resist the urge to use it myself. So last weekend I made the decision and made my color about 15 times darker than normal. Aaaaaand I absolutely love it. :D What do you think? I really don't want to go back now.... :)

There isn't much that I wouldn't do to go back and live in the past. Whether it be the Roman days, the Regency era, or even the Roaring 20's. I just love their customs, traditions, wardrobes, all all that loveliness. :) aaaaand every chance I get I like to play dress-up. :) :) :) Enjoy your weekend!

My little parrotlet Birdie has finally graduated to a birdcage. For 4 years now, he has been living in a renovated hamster cage. haha He didn't mind it, but I think having a wider bird cage with more room for crazy toys and decorating ideas will keep this little green jewel occupied for years to come. :) Birdie looooooove. :)

One of my favorite things in this world is to spend a week at a quite, empty beach. you know, the late spring days when people are still in school, where you find almost empty rolls of sand mixed with the lovely waves of morning.. with tiny little bird footprints covering the sand and being washed away with each new wave getting to spend the morning or afternoon with someone you love and care

This past weekend my friends and I spent our days and nights at our church's youth retreat on the coast. From Thursday afternoon to Monday morning, we ate together, played crazy, messy games together, prayed and did devotions together, listened to wonderful, inspiring messages, ate ice cream, went tubing, zip-lining and swinging, and just chilled together. It was the best year I have

Oh hello there. I hope your week is going well! I am just trying to spend as much time with my friends as I can, as I don't know the future and where it will take me. Anywho, many of you guys ask questions that are scattered throughout my blog posts, and often times, I never get them. I feel terrible about this! So, I am going to post my email to you all, and if you have any questions about me

This year's 'vacation' was a pretty long, intense one. My dad and younger brother flew to Colorado half a week before my mom and I left by car. It took the two of us 2 1/2 days to drive to the Springs, where we stayed for the rest of the week. After our lovely visit, we drive up to Yellowstone Park where we got to see Old Faithful (which was totally amazing! It was worth the long drive, and I

One of my many silly things would be...candy hoarding. I am like a hamster when it comes to sweets I get. I put them aaaaaall away in my closet, and either slowely munch on a few pieces here and there, or forget about them completely. One of my latest projects was from Christmas. My mom gave me a 10 qt. container more than half-full of Haribo peach gummies. I just finished them today. :) What

My dream has been to go to a lovely beach full of people and colorful umbrellas. haha Crazy, I know, but it was mine. :) My dad and me. It is a tradition to get pics together at the beach, I guess. hahah and unfortunately for him, I am sooooo much

At first I wasn't really sure how to do stuff around buildings, especially since I normally do it in natural settings. But once I got there, oh man, I was in photographer-heaven. and yes, there is such a thing as photographer-heaven. The

My dad just got back from a medical missions trip to Ethiopia with some docs at my church, and he brought back goodies, including a fun scarf, a bracelet made of coffee beans, and a real pin. Not a tourist pin you normally see, but a fun, beaded animal pin. :) Ethiopia is where coffee originated, so he brought back a couple (actually, like, 10-20 pounds) bags of coffee. :) :) :) :)

I loved taking them on walks to see the animals, I loved when the girls wore rainboots in the sunshine, I loved Eden's random goofy faces, and how Chesed always 'ate' my nose over and over. :) I loved snack time, park time, bath time, watching Eden pick outfits for Chesed and help her get them on, I miss all the ships Silas made for me too see.

I decided to order their ham, which they warned was extremely salty, and not for the weak-of-heart. Never has anyone made a truer statement. Wow. That was the most intensely salty thing I have ever eaten. Every bite had about 2 week's worth of salt in it, and I am

Know why? We went to Philly. =D They had a nice pour of rain every couple hours for the first half of the first day. Personally, though, I loved it. I love rain with a passion.

Since we got a 20% off discount at the party, it was nice getting things cheaper than they normally are, especially when things there can be a bit pricey. I got a cute little coin purse, a lovely pin/hairclip

It definitely was a hearty day. I love how on Valentine's day the guys at my church call it 'girl pleasing day'. They are just the sweetest guys around. The hand out roses to all their female friends and give us bars of chocolate as something extra. I did a little photoshoot with my brother Jayme. And some marshmallows, for those of you who couldn't figure it out the other day. :P <3 This

Dear readers, So I have been thinking about this for a bit. I am not really sure if I shall continue full-pursuit of photography as a business for myself. It may just be a hobby with some pay here and there. Which I am alright with. If I can, I shall try to take classes in college, may do internships, and possibly something else. I really am not sure. But I am going to change the style of this

It wasn't filled with as much photography as I would have liked, but I did get pictures I enjoyed taking and looking at, and had many, many adventures to go back over. =) In February 2010 we had a HUGE snowfall, if you guys remember. Several feet. That was too fun. =) My

Niagara Falls, New York {New England RoadTrip}

2010-11-26T17:17:00.000-08:00

At last! I am so glad to be done with these vacation pictures. There were so many places we went, it was really fun. =) The last few days were spent in New York on an island, a couple minutes from Niagara Falls. We drove into Canada and spent the afternoon driving around, and I counted more than 5-8 black squirrels and the same neighborhood area, within an hour and a half. It was amazing. haha =D

On our way to the last destination of our roadtrip, after passing through Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory where I met my true love (mint chocolate cookie something or other. it was AMAZING, and I am sad it is gone), and after visiting a couple forts in that area and crossing a lake on a ferry, we spent the night on the road, literally just stopped alongside with the camper still attached to the

2010-11-12T11:47:00.000-08:00

My family and I took a daytrip while in New Hampshire, to go visit a state we haven't been to before, Maine. My dad's 50th state. I have 13 states left to get to 50. Hope I can make it! We went to Portland, and visited a couple lighthouses around there. I ate lobster and clam for the first time, since my new year resolution was to try new foods in 2010. haha I have to say a would def. prefer

Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hamp. {New England RoadTrip}

2010-11-09T10:35:00.000-08:00

Hello! Our third stop during our New England roadtrip was to a lake some of you might recognize, Lake Winnipesaukee. If you have ever seen the movie What About Bob with Bill Murray, you might recall that this lake was the vacation spot of Bob's favorite Doctor, Leo Marvin. Anyways, this is one of my family's favorite movies. We are always saying things Bob says, do what he does, and having a

Greetings, everyone! I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Man, the weather got really cold this past week! And all the trees just dumped their leaves on us. haha I really should apologize for my lack of posting, and especially for not posting the vacation pics I took in September! haha I am sorry. I was waiting for something that won't be coming for a while longer, which is fine. I will start

Family Shoot

2010-10-30T12:39:00.000-07:00

A week ago I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing a wonderful family from my church at the Kentlands Mansion. It was beauuuuuutiful over there! The neighborhoods were just adorable, and with the lovely fall colors surrounding them, it was even prettier. During the photoshoot these people said and did things that made me laugh the entire time. Their joy and energy was so contagious, and I

This is my dear, lovely friend, Monica. I love her. =) I love that I was the second person to do a photoshoot with her. =) I love how she is good at doing poses she normally doesn't try. =) I love how I (well, everyone else can, too) can make her smile by a strange look. =D =) We had such fun at our photoshoot the other day. It is wonderful to hang out in the last bit of

At reading that title, you probably stopped in your tracks. 'Say what!?!?!??' haha Don't worry, this is a practice Bridal Shoot. My lovely dear has a lovely gown that she wore to our youth banquet at my church. She showed me the dress, and my immediate thoughts were 'you, that dress, me, my camera, the church on Sunday morning at sunrise'. haha We made it happen, and, let me tell you, I could

New Room!! {Personal}

2010-10-08T11:27:00.000-07:00

Sorry to post something random in between vacation posts, but it is about time I showed you something. Last year about December, I asked Kelly, whome I went to England with to help care for her family, if she could help me pick colors for my room. I had pink and orange horizontal stripes around the entire area, a huge bed, and everything just clashed. lol Guess that is what I get for being a

2010-10-06T09:28:00.000-07:00

Hey there! I am going to begin posting about our trip. =D The first two days of our journey were spent in West Point, New York, where my dad takes his medical students every year. There is an Army Base up there, filled with amazing things. The campground was very cute, and the trees surrounding us were just punching out colors of red, orange and yellow. It was amazing. I was not able to capture

Hey, all! For the past year, I have been asking my dad if he could take us on a trip to see the glorious Niagara Falls up in New York/Canada. To let you know, my wish is coming true!! Tomorrow morning most of my family members and I are leaving with our big camper on a 10-day road trip. We will be going through the New England states, and I am so excited! It will be pretty crazy living in our

Four girls {Fun Photography}

2010-09-16T11:42:00.000-07:00

I am 17 years old. Three brothers, no sisters. I am a military child, so we move around a lot, changing homes and making new friends. Because of this, I am quiet. I also realize the qualities of people around me, and become fast friends with people who are a lot older or a lot younger than me. Including younger sibs of best friends. =) Our inner qualities come out with we get

My dream has finally come true. This is my dear, lovely friend, Sarahann. I have wanted for most of the year, to take pictures of this charming gal, and I finally got my chance on Tuesday. Words to describe her? Super-smart, amazingly talented (especially at music! I love hearing her play strings), fun to hang out with, very godly, and can your say gor-geous? =D Blogger ruined the

Creating this post has been on my mind for a while. Kylie, my dear, I felt like I should tell you something. You are lovely. I don't think you realize how lovely you are. God created you, and therefore you are exquisitely beautiful, a beautiful princess. He hand-sculpted every feature you have, thought of every single creative, fun thing about you. Your blue eyes, your blond hair, your gorgeous

Daytrip to West Virginia {Personal}

2010-08-31T14:08:00.000-07:00

Hey there. This past whole week (since Tuesday of last) my mom and younger brother have been gone in Washington state, my older brother was gone house-sitting, and I was left all alone during the daytimes, left to do school one week early, edit pictures and post them, plan AND prepare meals for when my dad got home at night, and drive as much as I could. So drive we did. He took me to West

UK Vacation {Part 4}

My last post on the UK vacation I had in June/July. A week and a half before I returned to the States, we went to Wales for a lovely camping trip. According to people in Wales, this place was the most beautiful spot in that country. I could not help but agree. =) It was so gorgeous, I was in heaven. x) Oh, I said Hi to you all while I was in Wales. =D The second day in that country where

The Vess family found a small, cute church about 10-15 minutes away from their house, and we went there almost every Sunday during my visit. While there, I met a girl, Tory, a daughter of a military guy, who know another girl just like her. We become good friends, which is odd because she is 12 and I am 17, though I tend to have lots of friends younger than me (;D). But anyways, so one day they

UK Vacation {Part 2}

2010-08-27T12:26:00.000-07:00

We decided to take a couple day trips into various villages or cities that normally aren't visited by Americans, and those were Bury (pronounced barry), Ely (pronouced eelee), and my favorite, Cambridge. Bury was a wonderful town to visit once in a while. I loved it so much, in fact, that I took a trip down by myself on one of their buses for a day, and spent like, 6 hours walking around in
