School!

Here are a few projects I've been working on since I've started school!

I designed a pin for Skillsusa I could only use 4 colors, black and white counted as a color. SO what did I decide to do? A RAINBOW TROUT! I think it turned out pretty good.

I designed a notepad! We got to cut and glue it, I have a total of 50 little note sheets that I made! Pretty cool ;)

 Up next? A calendar! WOOT

In typography I'm learning all about the beauty of font 

I designed a monogram

And a Typo-gram!

I'm not sure what is next for this class, but I'm really liking it!

School is OK, lots of pressure to design and design good!

Project practice: Homemade vanilla and pie

 It's super easy making your own vanilla! I had gotten Andrew some vanilla beans and rum for his birthday, mostly because I knew by the time the vanilla was ready to use I'd be his wife and totally entitled to use it whenever! I was going to find a cool bottle to put it in but couldn't find the right one, the name of the vanilla was to be "yo ho ho vanilla" but I settled for "The Kraken" instead because it came with a cool illustration of an octopus and I love octopi.

So 4 months later we will have some goooood vanilla!

There are a million tiny seeds in the pods and they smell delish!

 Homemade peach pie with rum and vanilla seeds...seriously SO GOOD!

As far as the camera goes? I'm having issues with lighting and finding the correct flash to use in what lighting, I guess I'll just keep practicing!!

Project Practice: Quinceanera

Andrew and I went to a banquet to celebrate with his co-workers and receive awards etc. On our way out there were a bunch of teens outside looking FABULOUS! I couldn't help but get a few pictures of them (with consent of course) they were attending a quinceanera ( kind of like a latino sweet sixteen party only you're turning 15)

I promised them I'd have them up by morning!


I loved this girl! She was so cute and reminded me a lot of my sister.

 OK even though I'm getting married, and probably about 15 years older than this boy....He's a flipping DREAMBOAT! No wonder the girls couldn't keep their paws off him ;)

Project Practice: Hot Air Balloon

One of my favorite things about Provo is occasionally a hot air balloon will land in your yard! Or in my case they landed in the park next to our house. I was minding my own business in the loo and heard the familiar WHOOOSH of the fire component of a hot air balloon. SO naturally I rush downstairs and throw on something modest and rush outside with a camera. Luckily I had Scotts camera and was able to pick a good lens in time to get some good pictures!

There was a birthday party going on and all the kids ran over to help :)

Wendi Bird

Scott has given me his camera!   Scott has lent me his camera to practice with a digital tool because he and Kirsten like my style of photography and would like me to do their wedding photos in a couple of weeks *bites nails*. So the next few blogs will be "project practice's" which is nice because I'm crying poor and film is a bit expensive right now and since I'm blowing hundreds of dollars on wedding stuff I need to scrimp where I can so having his camera around is a blessing because I still get to shoot and still get to share it with the world!

First project:

Project bird

Scott has some kick A lenses!

These swallows are some serious divers!

Project Wendi

At lunch one day I accidentally dripped eyebrow wax into Wendi's hair so instead of cutting it (which I insisted upon) we got it out by lotions and washing! I love these ladies Ann and Wendi they make work so much more fun!
