Somewhat Productive.

I woke up today feeling pretty good about things, about life in general. My room is somewhat in order, I've taken it upon myself to do my own laundry the past few weeks, and i'm pretty proud of myself. I usually like to think I know what I'm doing as an adult, but really I don't. I know that for sure I am slowly learning! I'm only 20, and I still stress about my future, and what it's going to turn out like. I know that I am 100% sure that I want to be a photographer, that is solid. How I go about it really isn't. I know I want to capture memories, and show people my talent. I keep stressing about the business aspects of it all, dealing with money, figuring out prices for people, and I've noticed that all photographers price everything so differently. So, it leaves me with kind of a dead end of where to get ideas from, but then I realise it's something I have to figure out on my own. I really need to remind myself that all of this takes time, as much as I want it to go faster, it can't be that way. Time is such a constant enemy, but I really need to befriend it. So, I need to just keep living life day by day, and see where things take me. I can't rush into things, and really if people want me to photograph them, then they will ask. Lessons are still needed to be learned. 

Don't worry, be happy.

Always have love.

A simple post, because I can.

I know that lately it's been feeling like I'm missing from this blog, and it isn't because I don't want to use this blog, but because I've been busy, and what I mean by busy is working, taking time to be with John, and trying to find time to be with my family. Considering that this is supposed to be a lifestyle blog, or MY lifestyle blog I'll be coming on to make small little journals about my day so that this site is more updated, and of course I'll be filling it with photos as well. I know I don't have any followers, but who ever does keep up with this blog, just know that I will be posting a little more often.

Have love,

I GOT A NEW CAMERA!

If I didn't share already, all the photos prior to this post, and the last post were all taken by my little Nikon D40, and it's been with me for a solid 5 years or so. So, this amazing thing happened.. after my self portrait  project that I presented a few weeks ago, I came home to my boyfriend's house feeling pretty confident that I did a pretty damn good job on my project. Little did I know at my boyfriends house his parents were cooking up an idea, an idea that will change my life. So, I got home, and all of a sudden John's father comes into John's room, and tells me that we were going out to get me a new camera that I have been non-stop talking about for the last few months. Needless today I started crying my eyes out, because I was so happy, and I knew that I was going to have a huge change in my career, and of course hobby. So, I didn't put a lot a photos up, but here's a few that I liked. Which are of my cat Joey, and my shoes. 

A CREEK.

So, John took me to this place in San Dimas, and it's pretty awesome. We went to explore this creek! I wish that we could have explored a little bit more, but there was what it looked like, some film students shooting a film in the area I wanted to take photos in. But here's some of my faves!

A Self Portrait

So, for school I had to do this "Self Portrait" project. It said that you had to express who you were, what you you were doing, what your goals are, and how you were going to get there. I decided that I wanted to take the project quite literally. I had John, my boyfriend, take the portraits of me that are above. I am pretty pleased with how all the photos came out, and I'm happy with how I did in the presentation, even if I was a little bit nervous. If you couldn't tell already, John has a natural talent when it comes to photography, and I really admire that quality in him. It's so nice to have found someone so amazing, similar, and loving to me. I don't think I could have ever found anyone else who is like him, and I am forever thankful for him.

Photo Credit to John for the self portraits.

Why I have been M.I.A

I don't think these photos alone will describe why I have been gone, because they're just photos that I took, and that John took while I haven't been posting. I haven't been doing a whole lot up until 2 weeks ago? Because I've been helping John recover from his surgery, which I did not mind doing at all, but it really didn't leave any time for us to go out, or put on much of a happy face. BUT everything is all up to speed now with school, and my life goals, and I can't wait to post more and more!

I am not all done up in these photos, so, say hello to my bare face!

Our 1 Month at Dana Point March 24th

So, John, and I spent a night in Dana Point, California for our one month anniversary, which was pretty awesome. I believe it was my first time ever going to this beach, and it was a very good first time as well. John, and I spent about half our day here, and we went to eat soup, took some photos of various things, and then left. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I don't need much. As long as I have him with me I am doing pretty damn good. I was pretty impressed with my camera on the last two shots above, I didn't think that she could get those types of shots, but I guess that's what happens when you manipulate everything in the right way! Anyway, more photos, and news to come! 

Have love!

My Favorite Spot

So, this right here is my favorite spot, don't worry, you will definitely see more of it on this blog, and more stories that will go along with it. I believe that this is the very first time that I took John here. It was really a shame that we didn't catch the lighting in the "golden hour" but these photos are good enough, I hope!

Anyway more posts to come shortly. I am sorry I've been so absent.
