SMILE

Its been my biggest craving for about a year now, a camera. My phone get the job done but I want to explore more and capture the most beautiful things.

 

I will have one of these in my hand this weekend and I am beyond ready to start. It may just be a hobby or it could turn into more. I love capturing precious moments for people and I have lucky enough to be in on some shoots! Our memory can only hold so much, with photos, they can tell a whole story.  My life is a story for me, so forgive if at every event I attend I want to snap a photo. No, I am not trying to "show off" by any means, I just want people to see the light and life through all the smiles that are in my life.

 

If you ever get a chance to read from the beginning, my life turned upside down about 3 years ago. It is not perfect and I am not perfect. Taking pictures is magical and relaxing, the prints are forever yours.

 

I am so anxious to get started with a camera in my hand. The joy of something that can have a clearer view of the world than yourself.

my blessings

Summer has been in fill swing and I still have my head attached, thank goodness. Being home has been such a great thing. I get to spend more time with my family, loving my job and love being able to see some of my bestest friends in the world more often then not. I find myself capturing more of life happening for me, being humble about all the blessing in my life. Also, slightly pointing out I am enjoying life to the fullest with no man to my right or left.

 

 This is my one true super hero, my grandpa. He lost his hand at the age of 18 and now is rockin 88. He has been through more than anyone I know. He is the happiest person in this world and I could not be more proud to be his granddaughter.

 Fathers day selfie with Dad, beautiful evening.

 Grand Old Days was a blast. Enjoying it with some of the biggest hearted people I know.

 A friend who I've gotten to know over the years and she will make you pee your pants, you must have a friend who can do that for you :)

 Ms. NC was back home for the weekend and dedicated it to her. Our great guy friend tagged along as well. The people who just get you and accept you for who you are, never let them go.

 Wedding fun with my auntie, we always manage to take on the dance floor at all weddings.

 This has been my biggest project thus far and must I say I gave my self a pat on the shoulder. Planning a bachelorette party for this bride to be! Being the MOH is a big deal and I didn't want to disappoint. It was a rockin weekend with all the girls and a definite success. I also go inspired and made that banner in the background, another proud moment.

 Country life, is the pretties of all.

 My beautiful mother. She wanted a random selfie before she was off on her trip to celebrate the big 5-0 with her best girlfriends!! This women has become one of my best friends and now we are roommates again! I thank her for all I am and the way she raised me. She continues to be the biggest support and fan still in my twenties. I don't know what I would do without her.

This picture says so much... my Dad. One of his super hero powers besides being there always to fix whatever is needed, is his million smiles he has. He thinks its funny because he has such a hard time trying to smile, only God knows why. This is also my ham of a brother taking pictures always before anyone is ready. Love the men in my life!

 

 

Cheers to another week, make sure to count all your blessing!
