Julia & Jared : Session One

Julia and Jared wanted me to do a little photo shoot for them.. Unfortunately the weather was not cooperating that day.. So we had to do some indoor shooting.. And most of them turned out very well.. But there will be another shoot i will be doing for them.. And we are going to make sure it's outdoors :) Much better photos! But here is what we got so far :)

All I want for Christmas!

1. New camera lens! (Mine broke)

2. A bunch of new clothes! (I wont get into all of that)

3. A huge picture frame for my wall :)

4. New printer ink.

There's a lot of other little random things that i really can't remember.. But over all it was a great Christmas :) I love everything i received. I'm really sad it's over.. Thinking back to Christmas eve makes me realize how much i actually love it so much! And now.. It's a whole year away.. And.. Next Christmas will be a lot different.. As Chris will be on the other side of the country.. But i wont get into that today...

Anyway.. I hope your Christmas was full of happiness and laughter! There are still a few days left (Including New years eve) SO make it count! :)

Christmas Eve..

Its Christmas Eve.. Which means tomorrow is Christmas Day! Its so strange how time seems to go so quickly as you get older.. I don't understand it.. It feels just like yesterday when i was counting down to when Chris was going to get home from PEI at the end of the summer.

Now we are all together.. Evan in home from Norway, Annie is home from Atlanta.. And so many others from across the world have come home to celebrate Christmas with their families.

As you get older the excitement of Christmas morning seems to fade.. But for me.. I'm actually almost more excited than i was when i was young. Most of the surprises have been spoiled as i know a lot of what lays under the tree for me.. But I'm just as excited! I still get it either way! :)

But Christmas morning is still yet to come.. There are still some fun things in store for tonight.. I'm heading to Church in a couple of minutes to celebrate with my church family.. Then I'm going over to Chris' house to spend time with him and his family.. And then shortly after that.. Chris and i will come back to my home and spend time together and with my family. Maybe a classic Christmas movie with some sweets! Thats what I'm hoping for! :) And then it will time for bed.. Which is actually exciting! Because you know when you go to sleep.. The morning comes faster!

So this is Christmas 2009.. I'm listening to Mew : Vaccine.. Sitting in my bed.. For some reason i like to remember where i was and what i was doing in a special moment like this one..

Anyway.. I'll post sometime soon to let you know all the goodies i received from Santa tonight :) Have a very Merry Christmas! And a Happy New Year!

Yule.

Telling A Story..

So.. For my final photo assignment for the semester we got a very exciting project. We all got a specific song.. We listened to them and then had to go out and get a photo that represented that particular song and its lyrics. My song was a very passionate song, full of love and also extreme sadness. Luckily i had amazing models! And i basically got a whole photo shoot of them.. And there was no acting for this couple.. Their love for each other is very real.. Thats why i was so lucky to shoot them for the assignment! :) Take a look..

Contrast..

This is our second last assignment of the semester.. I didn't get a chance to take a lot of shots this time.. But i did get one!
