Hello

Hello:)

a couple of months ago I had a photo shoot with a dear little friend of mine... we had been meaning to do this photo shoot for over a year. yes, over a year! it took us that long to get our schedules together. my original idea for her was for her to be a Christmas elf... it was December 2010 when i came up with that idea. it was november 2011 when we did the photo shoot.

my inspiration for her was to be a bunny... having a tea party in an old shed in the woods. i'm not gonna lie... it didn't turn out all that i wanted it to be (i am a perfectionist though and i rarely achieve what i feel like i should achieve), but they're fine. hope you enjoy!

Random Thoughts & Photos

Hello,

Well, I'm back from my trip. It was nice, but it's really good to be back home. :-)

I didn't realize quite how much I've missed editing photos until about an hour ago when I pulled up my first photo to edit - it's been a really long time since the last time I just chilled out and edited some of my best snaps. I've missed it, lots. Unfortunately my only laptop is broken {and borrowing a family member's can be an ordeal...}. This makes it really hard for me edit any photos.
Another problem being, living out in the country we have this lovely internet that only gives you a certain amount of bandwidth {internet usage}, and if you run out, you're out of internet for the next 24 hours {and your family might try to eat you for dinner:) }. Isn't that happy? So, yes, this makes uploading/editing photos on my online editing program very difficult (uses a lot of bandwidth). So... hopefully one day we'll get better internet out here (you'd think in this day & age we'd have a better option for our internet...). But until then, I'm just hoping for a new laptop - that would be very helpful.

Okay, well, that's all. I don't have a lot of photos to post - mostly in part to what I wrote above, but here are the few I have. These are completely random photos that I snapped while on vacation.

Candid at Starbucks. I believe she was messing with her iPod when I took this. I really like this photo, not sure why. It's not particularly amazing or anything... I just like the feel of it. It just looks like a piece of life captured.

Really, really neat-o bobble-glass thingys {I want some of these for my room! Ha:-) }.

A happy Lea {because coffee does that to you}.

BTW, who else is in love with Pinterest.com? Is it not the bestest, most genius site ever??? It's definitely handy for anyone who does photography.

Thanks for reading. <3 :)

Vacation!

Tomorrow at this time I will be headed to Branson MO - so exciting. My previously clean bedroom now looks like a hurricane ravaged through it, thanks to packing. I love packing for a trip though... it's so exciting. You can crank up the music, pop & dance around getting your stuff together, see how tiny you can fold your clothes into the suitcase (because it's always just so awesome to proudly hold up your suitcase, pronouncing it the smallest out of the whole family's and be oh-so-proud of yourself for packing so lightly), organize everything into mini containers (who doesn't find those little shampoo travel size bottles completely adorable??). Yes, it's all just so fun. And then you have all these fabulous lists with everything you need to pack, and get done (lists are so great). Yes, yes yes, so, next week - no updates. But when I get back I hope to have a myriad of new photos to post from my trip. :0)

Also, my photo shoot from last Friday got canceled due to rain. So no new photos from that. Within a couple of weeks (of getting back from my trip) I hope to do it though.

I wanted to post some new photos but my memory card reader is acting up. But, I thought a random-no-picture post was better then no post at all. Plus I wanted to let you guys know I'd be gone. :-)

Tomorrow I'll be sitting in the car for a good 12 hours. Thank God for my ipod (I'm uploading some poppin' new tunes for the trip, yay), and my crazy family to amuse me. ha.
Pleas pray a safe, fun trip for me (and that the hours tomorrow will pass quickly...)!
Blessings,
RebeccAnne

Hello friends!

I realize it's been a while since I last updated. And I'm not going to waste time with a list of random excuses except to say that I needed a bit of a break... sometimes you simply need a break. I was growing weary of updating, feeling like I had nothing interesting to say, and that my photos all seemed to look the same. I often wish I was one of those people who could just ramble on about something totally boring and random, and sound interesting, but I'm not. So, you guys will just have to live with me, and hopefully still enjoy my photos. :-)

I suppose I should have stated that I was taking a break, but frankly I've hardly even logged into my blogger since I last updated. It wasn't this "okay, I'm going to take a break for 'blank' amount of time now, I need to let everyone know"... it just kind of happened, and I just allowed myself to chill out about it. I need to learn to chill.

During this time I have not stopped snapping. I have a photo shoot coming up this weekend that I'm very excited about and will definitely be posting the photos to!

Bellow I have some photos from a photo shoot I did with my sweet friend Kristen whom I took head shots for. She's a very talented aspiring young actress who was a pleasure to work with. Me and her have been taking dance lessons together for the past few years. She's such a sweet soul, a lovely dancer, and has a very bright smile that always lights up a room. :-) So, without further ado, here are my {4} favorites...

Check out that gorgeous smile...

She had a really hard time not smiling for this one... yes, that's Kristen. :-)

So, yes, that's it. :-) I hope you all are doing well. Thanks so much for looking at my blog.

hello to all of you out there.

Random photo post. :)

Starbucks cups are fabulous cups.

Wind chimes are a lovely thing indeed. One day, when I have a house of my own, I should love to have a whole backyard filled with dozens and dozens of wind chimes...

{On the outside looking in}

Our new kitty... she's pretty much adorable. :) More {better} pictures of her will be coming soon.

Silhouette of a light bulb.

That is all. There isn't anymore. :)

baseball game + concert + friends = win :)

This past weekend I organized a group to go to an Astros baseball game (goooo Astros!!) and after the game they had a free David Crowder Band concert. How fun is that? :-) Double the fun for the price of one. ha. So, anyway, thought I'd post a couple of my favourites. They're not amazing... but the best I was able to get.

David Crowder! yeah!! he was pretty awesome.

and it's one... two.... three strikes you're out in the olddddd balllll gammeeee!!!

the group (just snapped with a point-and-shoot). :-)

Anyway, that is all for today. Hope you guys are having a fun-filled summer! I am. :-)
