Brittany & Chase

This is Brittany & Chase. Brittany is on the Tech pom squad and she and her boyfriend Chase are too cute. Aric is good friends with both of them and got them on board to go out and shoot a few pics and he asked me to come along with him. We had way too much fun driving around town and have Chase do all sorts of silly leaps and bounds for these pictures, but they turned out awesome. Aric should be posting his soon so make sure and check them out too!
This first one is my favorite. It was Aric's idea, and he stole it from the famous photographer's at The Image Is Found. If you have time and wanna compare just go to theimageisfound.com click on the blog link then under categories click engagements and run through the pictures, I think it's on the second page and you'll find the original idea of this leaping kiss. I love it!




























So we stole this pose from Lauren Clark I think and it turned out to be really funny. We had a blast just watching Chase jump in the air over and over again. He was up for anything and it was awesome. I love it.






This was a cool one. Aric showed me how to set my camera to darken them out and just get the sun in between them. It took a few tries, and still the sun came out a little streaky, but it was fun, and maybe better luck next time...










P.S. In case you didn't know, just click on the pictures and you can view a bigger size image. : )

Brad's Birthday...

So my friend Bridgette's fiance is turning 20 this Sunday, so she asked me to take some pictures of her to put in a photo album for him. I had a break between my classes and work, so we went out real fast to take these. It was tons of fun, and we got some really great shots that I'm sure Brad will love.

Look how far I've come!

So. About 5 months ago I was dying to take my sister and her fiance out for engagement pictures & when I finally got the chance I had a blast. Funny thing is...I was terrible! I had no idea what I was doing, and so most of the pictures didn't even turn out. But tonight, with the help of the wonderful Photoshop I sorted through some that were decent and decided to mess with them and here are the results! Now compare them with the pictures I took of Brooke & Dean at the bottom and you'll see just how far I've come. Anywho. This is Lyndsay and Jacob...my sister & new brother!

Chicago!!

So. I was lucky enough to catch a free ride to Chicago this past weekend. It was pretty awesome. I had a blast. Shopped a little too much. And just plain got to enjoy the big city! We went out one night and took some pictures of the city sky line and then I got a few while we were up in the Sears tower! So here are the scenery pictures. Hopefully I can steal some of the more important pictures (of me) later. Ha.


This was called "The Bean" or something like that. Some art piece in the middle of downtown Chicago, it was pretty neat. and made for some fun pictures.





Oh yeah...I decided to play around with some different borders this time too. I think I may like this one...the black border with white keyline... who knows.
