Hey guys! 

This is the beginning of a WHOLE lot of seniors! I took half of the seniors portraits at my school(don't worry there are only 17 seniors) The first one I'm gonna blog, is KERRIE! 

 

Isn't she BEEEEAtuiful???  

Hope you enjoyed these pictures! keep your eyes peeled for more!

ohh beauty =]

wow.. I took these photos what seems like so long ago.. when really it was only last week!

Life has seemed so long lately with all this snow.. I miss things and just lay around at home..cleaning..playing games..or taking pictures..

These were inspired by many people..white on white is something I've wanted to try for a long time..here are my absolute favorites =D

enjoy =D

 I ADORE this picture =]

Hope you are all having wonderful winter days..snuggly and filled with sledding and snowball fights!

Olivia Parker.. a super creative still life photographer!

Olivia Parker has some really cool photography.

She is a still life photographer, who is really unique. Her work is really unique.
Here are two photographs I really like =]

I really like the composition elements of this picture. 

I love how 'set up" and planned it seems. 

Olivia parker does a wonderful job of finding cool old things and creating it into something unique to photograph.

To me, she is not only a great photographer, but also a great collager, and sculptor!

I am not a big fan of birds, but something about this pictures draws me in. 

I love the keys in the bottom, I love the light in the picture. 

And most of all, I love how nothing else is in the composition.. its a great photo!

I really LOVE this photo of Olivia Parker's because of its simplicity.

The lighting in it is beautiful and its so simple. I feel like sometimes as a photographer, I think too much about what I want, that I forget the simply like this. 

I'd really like to try something as simple as open bean strings on a white canvas. 

I love how cool this looks!

I don't get it! I mean I know that the one pear is in front of the mirror.. but I don't understand where the other pears are coming from! 

I love how this blends abstract and the stereotype of still life fruit into one. 

Its a beautiful photograph!

Lastly, I'd like to share this photo with you guys. I LOVE THIS PHOTO!

The use of shadow.. for a white picket fence... and then put flowers like they are growing along it is WONDERFUL!

I love how she came up with this idea.. I love the tight composition.. I love how out of the box it is!

Shadows are such a cool thing.. and I'd like to experiment with them in some of my photography!

Late Christmas photos..

I don't know about you guys.. but I had an 

AWESOME Christmas.

I didn't go anywhere.. just stayed home and relaxed!

I didn't post these before christmas, but here are some pictures of when we decorated our tree!

 This is an ornament of Ann Boleyn.. 

My grandparents used to live in England and we would go visit them. 

My parents picked up these ornaments when I was about 5, when we were visiting for Christmas. 

When I was about 10 I became FASCINATED with all things to do with England especially the Tudor time period. I read every novel, every book, looked up information played games where we lived in England during the Tudor time period.. 

I was obsessed.. and consequently this set of ornaments is my favorite =]

 This next one is Queen Elizabeth =D

 A Christmas post would not be complete with out alittle bokeh..

 And this is the adorable Mae Belle.. my dog!

 I tied bells on her collar.. mae BELLE 

haha =D

 I couldn't resist one more picture of her.. this one is so cute!

(and don't worry I gave her a haircut over Christmas break! she really really needed one!)

 And lastly a picture of my and my little fuzz ball!

Hope you all had nice christmases =]
