Photo Challenge – Self-Portrait
A friend of mine and I occasionally give each other photography challenges to help each other improve our photography skills. Our most recent challenge was to create a self-portrait that we felt described something about our personality. When taking any sort of portrait style picture, it’s important to think about what lens you’re using. With…

I’ve been using a camera for a long time. I started off with 35mm cameras, taking my first photography class as a summer course when I was in middle school, and taking Photography as a project all 10 years that I was in 4-H. I got my 1st SLR (single lens reflex) camera when I…

My mother has been wanting to get new family photos for a while now, but has put it off a few times, because either my sister or I was pregnant. But we finally got around to getting them a few weeks ago. Our photographer did a great job, especially with Millie and her cousin, Charli. …

Landscapes? Flowers?…

This week’s #EverydayProject52 challenge was “Motherhood.” Not being a mother myself, it’s hard for me to have the opportunity to take photos that match this theme. The closest I come to motherhood is taking care of my cats. Although, I do occasionally hold my niece Charli, without dropping her.

One of my favorite things to make for dinner is a good Stromboli. They’re super quick and easy to put together, and they always taste amazing. Do you have a favorite dish you like to make for dinner?

I’ve really been enjoying our new house this spring. It seems like new flowers are popping up each week. I recently discovered that I have some tulips in my yard. I’ve never had tulips before, but they’re absolutely lovely. And we also have violets all throughout the yard. Hopefully these won’t be the last of the…
