Forever Fickle

Nothing ever goes to plan, no matter how many appointments you make and how specific of a schedule you have. Weather will always interfere. The economy will always interfere. Life in general just interferes. And I'm pretty okay with that. :)

Wednesday:
I was supposed to have a photoshoot with three little ones I photographed last time I was in town, but the poor baby boy got a mosquito bite on his face that swelled up thanks to allergies. Instead of shooting the kids, I sat on the couch and photographed Daisy the dog doing the same thing.

Thursday:
Planned to spend the day hanging out with my two best friends, Khalila and Kelly, but then my little brother Louis decided to tag along as well. It was a really fun day. We ran into some good friends, shopped, ate, watched movies, and then some. This is my special brother.

Friday:
Spent Thursday night at Khalila's house and PLANNED to hang out with my friend Liz during the day, but by the time we would have been able to hang out, neither of us could think of what to do. Sooo... instead I waited for a ride to the host home, then I sat on the couch waiting for time to go to the open house for miss C. Remember her? Took the latter shot from the couch too.

Today I am supposed to have a senior shoot with another graduate, but at this rate, we are losing daylight, so I'm going to assume your photo for tonight will not be of her. :-( We'll find out later!

Losing Track

It's been something like a week now, and I've lost track of what photos were taken on what days (and since there are a TON of them, I'm not going to bother trying to find out), so I'm just going to throw a bunch of photos from this week at you. LOL Sorry guys! Today's photo(s) will not be included in this post because there is still half a chance I will get to go to the beach with my aunt and cousins.

On another note, I'm in Indiana with most of my loved ones. Having a blast despite the pain that comes with it! :D

RIDICULOUS!!!

ET the bearded dragon

Today was a ridiculously awesome day!!! I got to spend an hour in a pet store full of adorable little animals, visit my aunt and uncle, go out for a wonderful time with family and friends, and best of all VISIT CITY METHODIST AGAIN! I will be taking my senior portrait kiddos there for their photoshoot, so it was awesome to get to go ahead of time with beautiful people who were happy (or something) to model for me. For now I will only post one of my favorites of the moment, but you can almost certainly expect to see more later, especially if you check out my facebook. Goodnight! Rather, good morning...

Quick "Portraits"

Aka "GAWD, get that camera out of my face!" shots. Hey, had to get at least a few photos before my loved ones leave tomorrow. Weekends pass too quickly. :-(

My baby brother, Louis, sitting in my room wearing my hat and a pair of antique sunglasses on his head for no apparent reason. This is what we do in my household. <3

Khalila sitting on my bed not wanting her picture taken. Again, typical. Even with her face covered, she's beautiful. That jerk. ;D
