Birthday Pictures

Sorry I overloaded everyone's feed tonight. I am in heaven. No school and three days off from work means that I can take & edit pictures all day long....

On Sunday Cameron and I skipped out on the third hour of church (cut me some slack...it was my 21st birthday, I had to be somewhat rebellious). Instead, we drove to wheeler farm and hiked into the snowy forest for a few family pictures. Cameron got me a tripod for my big day. (I had a tripod once, but it fell over one day with my camera on it and it lost all my trust....so this is a slowly learning to trust deal).

Anyways...we set the self timer on the camera and I ran into each shot. It was super fun. It started getting really snowy, and the pictures got super foggy. I was worried about getting everything all wet so we went back home, but, for the little time we were there, I think we got some fun shots :)

ps....I have a strange feeling santa is bringing me a camera remote for christmas, so hopefully cameron and I can have more of these impromptu mini sessions together :)

i love

i love to create pretty things. 

this might be my favorite...ever. 

this.

I still love these pictures & I seriously still love them. I can't wait for everything they have ahead of them. Is this creepy? Maybe...I just love these pictures.

A little place named Puerto Rico

My brother leaves for basic training in July & I'm getting married in May. 

In the span of less than three months my parents will become empty-nesters. As exciting as everything is, my parenting are becoming sad that they are "losing" their children.

My dad planned a family cruise in March as one last "hoorah" before everyone moves out.

It was the best vacation we've ever had.

Our ship stopped in one of my favorite places in the entire world - Puerto Rico. 

It was hot and simply amazing. 

notice that cute little smudge on the top? ya...I just did.
I have something on my lens and didn't notice until after I took a bunch of pictures.
Let's see if I can't it fixed for the next vacation.
