October- Spooky and Scary

These pictures may not be spooky, or scare you, the titles are just for themed ideas :)

Photo Challenge

I just reviewed some pretty fantastic memories I put down in the 30 day photo challenge I started last December. Although I didn't even get close to finishing it in the 30 days, I went in order and really enjoy looking back on it.

So I decided to up the anty. 

I'm going to go with a monthly challenge [some inspiration from this place], to document that months happenings, as they relate to the challenge for the month. Goal- get me taking more pictures with my wonderful camera, and get me blogging more.

Weekends are awesome

 The Lovely Lauren

 treats I was given at work

precious Pedro

Today was a nice combination of fun time and work time (and the best kind of work time).

I started the day with Lauren taking pictures all around Downtown Phoenix, as evidenced here.

She was just what the doctor ordered. I was in major need of great friend time, and I can't wait to have more photography sessions with her in the future. [and share pretty much the same post grad path together]

Then I went to work for about 7 hours, but I was caring for a family friend Chad, so we pretty much got to hang out and have fun.

Mom and I hit up the gym tonight. Kelly + mom + endorphins = awesome. 

Looking forward to a day off while celebrating Dad tomorrow! woo hoo!!

Saturdays. 

Media that moves me, The Moon!

I've been learning how different edits work, and while the
quality of this picture isn't stellar I think it's pretty fun.
Here is the moon! 

[I can only think of "the moon" coming out in this voice - go to :43]

Cool things and not so cool things

Cool things:

Getting to come into work late = sleep in.
being Natasha's "domestic partner" for her work bowling activity = time with Natasha + free bowling.

Troy was there too, duh. [he works for the same company]

Funfetti Cake my brother made
An upcoming engagement shoot for my friend Rebekah
Watching The Office pretty much 24/7
My jewel degree dangle that came in the mail- thanks Lindsay!
These pictures

Not so Cool Things:

The worst burn of my life- oven door closed on my arm a little

 only 2 days out. I'm soooo excited I'll get to deal with this at Bass Lake. heal faster!

yeah, thats the blister juice. hope you don't have a weak tummy!

Still not really knowing what to do with my life
Not having a frame yet for my new bed

All in all, pretty fantastic day

summer

Daily Picture Posts

I'm not happy with how often I'm using my beautiful new camera. Sooo I'm doing something about it (because I'm a big fan of fixing things you're unhappy with).

Hense my new Daily Picture posts on my KL Photography page.You should check it out on the reg.

The coolest thing since sliced bread

KL Photography. duhh.

I wanna talk about me

I never had the chance to share some of my senior pictures with y'all!

My sister (ADPi), Claire, took some awesome senior shots of Dustin and I.

Which one did you like the best? It took me a million years to pick the 5 that went out in graduation announcements. She's just so talented! and inspired me to take a look into photography myself.

Thanks again Claire!


worth a thousand words. 

Bran's High School Pictures

In light of a developing interest in photography, I asked if I could take my brothers senior pictures. I wanted to do something a little more personal than cookie cutter big chain photography places, so we had some fun at the skate park.

You could always take a looksie at some of my pictures here.

I still have a lot  to learn, but I'm happy with how they turned out! I think they look great!


congratulations Brandon
