Tabby

This is Tabby, she is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet! She loves photography, maybe thats why we get along so well lol. She is an aspiring photographer and has a wonderful love for photography. She is starting out just like I did and is doing an amazing job. I am excited to see what God has in store for you.

Senior Ellie

Well, to start off Ellie is one of my good friends! She has been such a wonderful friend and example to me. I thank God for you, Ellie!! So when they told me they wanted me to do their senior pictures I was so excited, a little nervous too, but way excited. So we decided to go to the Nature Reserve. It was really pretty and peaceful, alot of the leaves had already fallen, but it still turned out great. Ellie did such a wonderful job! I personally don't like getting my picture taken (lol some of you guys know that already), but she was a natural at it. We did have to pull a few smiles out of her, but that was easy to do. Especially with some help;)
We'll I have talked enough, on to the good stuff...


See I told ya she was a natural.
Photobucket

Aww..there it is! A real smile.

Isn't she gorgeous!

Love this one too!
Photobucket

I have found that....

...mirrors always come in handy! Especially being a photographer, you're always behind the camera. So you never see yourself in pictures. I have found the solution.....MIRRORS!!!!!!

I like the little sun flare in this one. My earring is shining!!
Photobucket

This was taken a while back...
Photobucket

Me being Lydia...HAHA..this one makes me laugh! The thing I am holding up says LYDIA. Mirrors turn things around so it looks backwards.
Photobucket

Day of my birthday party! CHEESE!! Eww..no more fake smiles-note to self.
Photobucket

It looks like I have a hat on LOL...I know, I know, I'm a little weird. Ok, ok, really weird, but thats just me. :)

Stephen!

Stephen is always ready to smile for me whenever I ask him to. He is so adorable(of course, since he is related to me he would have to be haha JK). He is so much fun to play with and tease. You gotta love having Nephews and nieces.
