December in Waukesha

Well, we've finally had our first snow here in Wisconsin! About three inches, although the cars and people have already started to ruin it. Waking up to snow this morning was so beautiful :)

December is here and with it came thoughts of Christmas, hot chocolate, and snowmen! 3 weeks till Christmas, this is my favorite season of the year!

Snapshots

Being away and at school, I feel as if all the spare time has been sucked out of my days. I'm going to try and get back into the habit of enjoying my camera...

There are some things that just really make me indescribably happy, and Autumn is one of them. The smell of a Pumpkin Spice Latte or delicious spice Chai comes immediately to mind, along with the brilliant colors of the leaves. It is one of my favorite times of the year, and I just sucked it all up this year :) Unfortunately, Autumn is all over now (at least here in Wisconsin it is), but I did not have one spare second to put these pictures to use. And so here you are, a breath of fresh fall air just in time for the first real snow tonight ;)

Quick update!

I just wanted to post a quick update on my life. I'm a little busy right now, moving to wisconsin for college at New Tribes Bible Institute! Hopefully once I get settled in, I'll have more time for photography :)

Here's a quicky that I edited, leftover from corryn and my sunrise shoot.

Cuteness Overload!

I just went on a family photoshoot with the Incinelli family yesterday, and I'm already so excited about how the pictures are going to turn out! Isabel and Isaac are just about the cutest things in the world. :) Here's a sneak peek, there are many more to come!

Thank you bloggers :)

It's summer, and a great time to experiment with new photoshop techniques! I have wanted to be creative lately, but have run out of ideas. Thanks to some amazing, artistic and generous bloggers, I've been able to experiment anyway! Check them out!

Stillness at Sunrise

My photographer friend Corryn and I have always said we would get up at the crack of dawn one day and go on a photography adventure. Well guess what! We finally did it! The lake was beyond beautiful in the colors of the morning, and the world was just starting to wake up. There was such a stillness in the air, which I really think is captured in these images.
