In photo today I was in a quote kind of mood. Thank goodness for Sarah's help. Enjoy!

photo booth.

Let's be real. We all have that first week of when we get an apple computer and you get all your friends together to see just what photo booth can really do for you. You try all the weird settings and, at least for me, end up peeing your pants on a few pictures. Well as I have been sitting here thinking of how I haven't blogged in a while (It's been a crazy week) I opened up my photobooth and started laughing at all the memories that flooded my brain. From when I took this little laptop with me kaeli and katelyn to st george to when i got my wisdom teeth out, this little guy has captured my life in some good moments. Certainly pavement.

kaeli and katelyn. haha.

post wisdom teeth. the hat helps.

i loved this day.

st george.

moments.

We've all had those moments in our life where we have a rotten day, where we feel frustrated, or you know just one of "those days" well I've discovered a few things that have helped me. First photography. It's amazing and I may not be amazing at it, I stil enjoy it just the same. Also some good music. I'm not talking about the "let's get down and see how many times I can swear" songs I'm talking about the music that calm but still makes you feel like nothing can go wrong. Here's a few I've recently been listening too. White Dress by Ben Rector. A Drop in the Ocean by Ron Pope. Ladies by Andy Grammer. The World Spins Madly On by The Weepies. Young Blood by The Naked and Famous. Hey Ah by Desert Noises. Each Coming Night by Iron & Wine. Where is the Love by Black Eyed Peas. Well now I've off to go take some pictures. much love.

aware to care.

So many times we look at others and see only the differences that we have. Different style, different beliefs, etc. It's as if these differences are what control us when in reality we control it. This was a photo I edited for a school contest for Aware to Care. It focusses on how there are so many people around us that may be struggling just like we are yet we choose not to care. What if we reached out to them and let them open up to us? What if we changed their life? What if we saved their life? It seems we all get to a time in our life where we think we aren't good enough and that we are just too different. But what if we decided to take those differences are let them unite us? But we must first learn to accept our own differences and use them to reach out to others. That's when we will make a DIFFERENCE on the world.

have faith.

“You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.”

This is a recent photoshoot with the lovely Tiff. And this quote really stuck out to me as I was reading through different quotes. I'm grateful for faith and for the example of faith in my life. It's a huge pavement peice in my life.

some new photos.

I went on a little adventure to take pictures with wonderful amazing models. These are the ones that I have edited. ALSO I love taking pictures of people and am always looking for people willing to show the world their beauty, so if you want or need some pictures taken I would love to do it! No cost. Except printing. Let me know my dear friends! More edited pictures coming soon.
