Awesome Blue Sky!

Ahh the dog days of summer, as they call July. I'm still in job hunting process, and so far I haven't heard a word. In this small town that I live in, it really is no surprise. There are so many people who are fighting for what jobs are out there.......so really I just need to be patient. Not too long ago, a few weeks ago I took this picture. I was sitting outside on the front porch and the sky was just epic. That amazing, beautiful blue summer sky with the puffy white clouds! So I wanted to come post this, and update because I haven't been on here. Funny thing is, I vowed to update this everyday! It's a work in progress, I know I can do it! :)

Morgan

Last week I had the pleasure of doing pictures for my band director back in the middle/high school! It was a wonderful day and I got so many pictures of their granddaughter Morgan, who is 7! We had a good day and only one person was harmed in the shooting of these photos, and that was Dora the Explorer. She was a chalkholder that rolled under my car and was crushed by my tire! Oops! Haha!

My First Maternity Session!

So today...or yesterday rather I did my first maternity shoot! I was so nervous the night before thinking about it, worrying about how it'd turn out...but as usual, my doubts went away as soon as I got behind my camera. I shot at new locations I have seen, but never taken pictures of!! My friend and old coworker Maricela is almost due, her growing family is expanding by one! So.....we took pictures at Abilene Christian University at Jacob's Ladder, this beautiful place to take pictures! Scriptures in stones, fountain, soft green grass, this place has it all! Wow! So we took pictures there, here's one from ACU. 

After about an hour and a half there, we continued on to another local campus. Hardin Simmons is another beautiful college on the north side of Abilene. It's not too far from Abilene Christian University! This place is amazing in it's own right. As you enter the main road you immediately see a pond with a bridge and water fountains and a gazebo! Another great opportunity to take beautiful photos! I must say I am really proud of these pictures, I have started going through them and I picked my instant favorites out right away. I showed her some of them when we took a break under a tree. I carried my laptop with me on this trip because you really can't see anything on my LCD display of my Canon! It's tiny and you can't see nothing! So yet again, I found another reason to fall in love with my MacBook Air! Anyway, here's my absolute favorite of the day!

Aren't they just beautiful? I'm so proud of these pictures. I'm confident that she will love them as much as I do, these are beautiful memories and I can't wait to see these pictures printed out and beautiful! Baby girl will be born in less than two weeks! :) Maricela makes pregnancy look easy! Not that I have ever gone through it, but when I worked at the grocery store, I saw numerous pregnant women who looked just plain miserable! She makes it look flawless and wonderful! I just love her! So there's my update I had to show off these beautiful photos! I'll post more soon! 

Spectacular Sunset

I know I have said it a billion times before, but I LOVE SUNSET! I didn't have any time to get to somewhere when there weren't any power lines or anything in the way. I stepped out the back door and looked at the sky, it was spectacular! The colors were just so beyond gorgeous so I decided to take a picture! Despite the power lines, it is beautiful!

Turtles Like Adventures, too!

I cleaned my turtle's tank today and since it was such a nice day, I decided to take her out and let her walk around! She got her exercise and I used this opportunity to use my camera! She's a red eared slider named Betsy, and she's 8 years old! Isn't she just the cutest?! 

She almost looks overjoyed to be running around on the ground trying to eat leaves and getting stuck under weird objects! I used my Canon Rebel EOS XS on these shots! It was a good day to be a turtle! Not camera shy at all!
