random snaps.

I started taking a photography class at the beginning of May, so i've been taking lots of photos recently.  here are some random snaps from these past two weeks; featuring Katie, the moon, Abby, a duck, a squirrel, and Emily.

strangers with pretty hair.

Last weekend, I was the "official photographer" of a national speech & debate tournament.  now, you must understand; I much prefer taking photos of events that inspire me.  so, since speech & debate is definitely not the most inspiring thing in my opinion, I had to really look for inspiration.  like in the photo above, I looked out the window and saw a stranger with really pretty hair standing in the parking lot––how can I not take a photo of that? 

here are a  few more photos that I really enjoyed taking:

have a good weekend. xo.

morning light.

Sometimes, I wake up in the morning and see something so picturesque that i force my sister out of bed and make her model for me.  i'm a sucker for morning light that pours through the window; it's oh-so majestic.

absent & apologetic

It turns out that i'm no good at keeping up with things for very long.  I haven't kept up with my 52 Week Photo Project whatsoever––it's much harder than i though it would be so i'm not even going to try to continue it. so, here i am, saying "i'm sorry" and hoping you'll forgive me.  my life hasn't been extremely interesting lately, so theres not much else i can talk about.  
the two photos above are of my sister; we went out in the snow/ice and i took some senior pics of her.

anyways, i hope you all are enjoying this somewhat–lovely month of march!

4/52: apple cravings.

These past few weeks I haven't been feeling so great; the cold weather tends to mess with my sinuses.  so, apple juice has been my best friend. it feels so good on my throat.  lately i've been finishing school pretty early in the day, so i like to watch tv or movies before going to dance. i always bring an apple or a cup filled to the brim with apple juice in order to satisfy my craving.  i feel like one of those pregnant ladies who have weird cravings...minus the baby, of course.  

welp, i'm gonna go eat another apple now.
