Pictures, Pictures, Pictures, and MORE Pictures

I wanted to share a couple of my favorite shots that I've taken!  I fell in love with photography in early high school or so.  My hs business teacher had a very snazzy Canon that I was fortunate enough to use when needed (it pays to be close to teachers ;) )  and I discovered that it doesn't take a lot of talent to take a good picture, you just have to have the creativity to do something out of the ordinary.

Several years later, I own my very own Canon.  Nothing too fancy, just a Rebel XS, but it's one of my most prized possessions.  My dear sweet boyfriend surprised me with it for my 21st birthday.  Long story short: he picked me up from school and teased me that I was getting a present.  45 minutes later we pull into Best Buy.  I'm thinking I'm getting a video game......he leads me into the dslr isle and says "pick one!"  Needless to say I cried.  Best. Present. Ever!!


These are a few of my favorites.

I took this one on a walk one day in January.  I noticed the cool looking branches first, then  realized there was a hummingbird.  :)  I love how that works.


This one is obviously taken at Arkansas Girls State.  I caught her at the perfect moment: dancing and having a blast. 

As much as I love candid shots, I had SO much fun taking some of this lovely lady's bridal portraits.  This was at the end of the very long, hot day.  This over-sized chair was the perfect spot to "plop" down and take a load off.

A gorgeous flower my best friend's grandmother grew in her backyard this summer.  I'm planning on framing it and another one to give to her for Christmas.




This is probably one of my favorite half-candid, half-posed shots!!!  From the Arizona Renaissance Festival

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do :)
