Catch Up

It's been quite awhile since I last posted, I've kinda missed it!  I have quite a few ideas rattling around in this head of mine, but while I work on them I thought I would catch you up on some of what has been going on with me!

The past few weeks have been quite hectic as I prepared for finals.  One of my professors gave us the opportunity to not take one of her test if we visited the Aphrodite exhibit that was at one of our local museums.  Being someone who does not particularly like test (seriously, who does?) I jumped at the opportunity.  And while I was there I took a few pics in front of the beautiful old home that is the museum.

Don't you just love my super sophisticated attire? :P

 Other random pictures from that day:

During finals week, my finals fell at weird times, leaving me with tons of time in between.  Boredom led me to take my first public bathroom mirror selfie.  Aren't you just so proud?

The day of my last final, my mom and I went shopping so I could give her an idea of what I want for my 20th birthday (which is this Monday, and I am so excited!!)

Here is my outfit from that:

I'm actually kinda sad that this semester is over.  I've made so many new friends that I love and can't wait to hang out with this summer. :)

I hope everyone is doing well!

Philbrook Trip

Yesterday, my mom and I went to the Philbrook museum for an assignment I needed to complete for my Art Appreciation class.  We had to pick one piece of art that we couldn't live without, write down the information about it, and write a paper.  I have some pretty good ideas about what I want to write about, one being these awesome little cameras:

While there, we ran into one of my friends/classmates and he walked around with us for a bit before he had to leave.  The guy seriously knew all this interesting stuff about the place and made it sound interesting.  I was just amazed with some armor they had hanging up!

Pretty nifty, right?

When you go outside to the garden, you forget that you are even at a museum.  It's so beautiful!  Here is a full view of it and the back of the building from google:

And here are some pictures I took with my phone!

The gazebo

My week has been so insanely stressful, but this was honestly one of the best moments.  I really had fun with it.
Hope everyone is having a good week!

Anniversary Photography

This past Monday, my friend Hailey asked me to take photos of her and her boyfriend for their one year anniversary.  Of course, I said yes and we headed of to the local park.

Here are some of the shots:

*Warning: picture heavy*

We started off just having them walk down a path holding hands....

Then we moved on to the playground, starting with the swings....

Then on to the slide, where Dillon tried to convince Hailey to slide into a puddle...

 I then got some shots of Dillon playing on the little kiddy toy...

 Before he jumped into the toddler swing!

 After we left the playground, we found a wonderful set of pretty, yet sketchy brick steps...

We then stumbled across a building with a mural painted on the sides.  Haliey thought it was a sunset, Dillon said a fire, so I'll let you be the judge! :)

Next, we searched for a generic brick building that would be good for background shots.  Who knew the perfect one would be the side of the restrooms? (sorry to anyone we freaked out while doing this!)

This is where we tried some of the poses that Hailey and I had conversed about previously...

The hug pose...

This pose was actually two separate photos that I edited together...

Yes, I had to be all artsy and turn it black and white, don't judge! :)

We tried two heart poses...

 Here is where we broke out the sharpies and documented their year...

Then their nicknames for each other...

(Virtual brownies if you can tell me what show it's from :p )

Next was a simple bench shot...

And finally, the obligatory piggy back ride.  Do I have a picture of Hailey with pure fear face? Yes, yes I do.  Will I show you? Of course not! Mostly because she just might kick my butt :p

I had so much fun doing this shoot.  It really solidified my want to be a photographer.  Something I figured out early in the day that some of the best shots were when they were paying absolutely no attention to the camera.  Those just turned out so cute and natural looking.

Happy Anniversary you two!

It Takes Two

Well, my first poll is over! It only got two votes (two more than I expected) so it looks like I will be doing two reviews!

One on Motionless in White

And one on The Birthday Massacre

Hopefully I'll have at least one done by the end of this weekend. Monday is my first day as a college student (wtf? where did the time go?) so I may not be posting alot until the following weekend.

Also I've learned how to tag my photography! Which means I will probably be posting alot my work here.

That's all for now! Over and out! :)
