Around town.

These are the things I can't live without. I won't leave home without them...

My Bible & Journal...

One more for tonight

I've been going on "model trips" with my roomate for a few years now. Just recently the phenomenon has spread to our other friends, and now that I've gotten a little more serious about this picture taking business it's become a regular thing. Anytime we're bored, one of the first suggestions is "Let's go on a model trip!" then everyone will grab a few outfits and we'll drive around town until we find some cool new buildings to take pictures in front of. Here are a few very random shots I've taken. Some are pretty recent, but there are a few that were taken last year! I've definately come a long way since then, and I've still got so much to learn. But it's just oh so fun!!

How awesome is our God?

There was an awesome thunderstorm here in the Lubbock area a few nights ago with the most glorious displays of my God's beauty and power! So what better way to spend a night then admiring His work and catching just a glimpse of it on camera! Here are a few of the big lightning strikes I got! Enjoy!

Brooke & Dean!

This is my roomate and her boyfriend. These are two incredible people who are very much in love. I went out to shoot some "mock" engagement pictures with these two and we had a blast. It's pretty hard to take a bad picture of these two. Here are a few of my favorites!

Just Me...

It's been a long journey getting to where I am now. Thanks to college and having to decide on a Major, and future career at the undecisive age of 18 I made my way through 3 or 4 changes until I got to this point. What better way to make a living then by doing something you absolutely love. I love people. Children especially. I've always wanted to do something with my life that would make a difference, impact people. I hope to do that through photography. More importantly just through life. I wrote this a while back, and still these are the things that make up who I am, what I love, what I want.

enjoy.
