Quito, Ecuador

I went to Quito, Ecuador a few weeks ago and yes, I'm just now getting around to doing a full post. My mom LOVES graffiti so I wanted to take a few pictures for her. I wasn't trying to be artsy at the time but I think this picture turned out really well. I love how the four men show the scale of the art!

We helped at a daycare for the kids of people who picked through the trash at the dump hoping to find something worth selling. The rest of these pictures are of those kids. They are sooo precious!

LOVE this one!

Dimples!

She was my favorite. She was so serious at first but as soon as the older kids came around you couldn't get her to stop laughing.

Ecuador - another sneak peek

I'm leaving you with another sneak peek because I'm too tired to keep my eyes open. Enjoy!

A little sneek-peekaroo of what's to come!

Get ready for some more awesomeness. Click for a bigger image.

More Carla+Daniel!

Barnett - Fifty Years and Counting

This little girl was so cute. She wanted her Grandmother to show her the wedding dress.

The Happy Couple

There were some really cute kids who loved playing under the tables.

Post-Cake.

Patricia

Patricia is starting college in a couple of days so in light of that I decided to post a few portraits that we did at the beginning of the summer!

Nathan Angelo

Yes, I am a terrible blogger, but I am trying to be better. I'm telling myself that as long as I post SOMETHING that will help some. So this, my friends, is Nathan Angelo. His music is soul/pop(?). I don't really know how to classify what it is but it's amazing and you should definitely check him out.

Carla+Daniel

This was my very first wedding. Needless to say, I had a blast! Daniel and Carla have been my friends for around 13 years. I'm so thankful that you guys asked me to be your photographer! I wish you all a lifetime of joy.

The Boys

The Girls

Everyone! On the far right is my brother and sister-in-law. I love them!

Love

Favorite!

At Camp

Camp is one of my favorite places in the world. It is a special place where I get to spend 11 weeks with my second family. I can't wait to share more pictures!

Baby Brodie

On Sunday I was supposed to be taking photos for my photojournalism class, but Brodie was too cute not to snap a couple of him!

Because it's been awhile

Yes, I know. I'm a huge slacker. But school and work have kept me extremely busy and I have hardly taken any photos with my digital camera. On the other hand, if I ever get near a scanner, I will scan in some of my film prints.

New and exciting things are happening in my life. I am now, officially, an art major. This is both exciting and scary! If you know me well then you know I am horrible at most artforms including drawing and painting. On June 28, one of my friends, Carla, is getting married and asked me to be her photographer. It is such an honor and I am sooo excited!

Ok, enough about me and why I'm a slacker. Here are just a few pictures for you.

Downtown by Picasso's. I love the lens flare.

Dave Barnes (again). He is coming to ETSU on Friday so you will get to see EVEN MORE of him.

My baby brother, Tucker. So cute.

Pretty Mommy.

Tim, my nine-year-old brother, who is beautiful.

V-day

I guess I should go ahead and post about Valentine's Day since that seems to be the popular thing to do. My V-day will consist of reading my Bible, cleaning my room, going to photography class, and a basketball game and you know what? I couldn't be more pleased. This is the first year since I can remember that I am ok with being single. God has me right where he wants me right now and I'm so happy with that!

Go Bucs!

Time

I so wish that I had time to do some shooting right now, and blogging! My schedule has been extremely hectic with work, school, church, etc. I'm taking night shots this week in photojournalism class so maybe, if they're good (which I don't expect them to be since our teacher won't let us use a tripod) I might post them.

Siblings - Daniel and Patricia

I did a sibling session with my friends, Daniel and Patricia, just before Christmas. They gave them to their mom as a Christmas present! It was so fun. Here are some of my favorites.

She is so friggin' cute!
