It feels a little bit weird to blog photos of myself, but I just like them a lot. So here are the rest of my faves from my quick session with Ashley of Live.Laugh.Photograph. Enjoy!
My Super Sonic Secret Power
There are some prayers that I'm so glad God answered with a kind no. Like the time I was convinced that long red hair and violet eyes would transform me into a vision of loveliness. Wow. All I can think now is Thank You sweet merciful God!
However I wouldn't mind if God gave me super sonic secret powers. You know, seeing through walls, leaping buildings in a single bound, that kind of thing.
Sadly the closest thing I have to a super sonic secret power is that I'm a speed reader. *Nerd alert* It's not uncommon for me to fly through a 200-300 page novel between dinner and bedtime. There is a catch though, it has to be a fiction book. Non-fiction books are my kryptonite. With the very best of intentions I'll load up on non-fiction books on a trip to the library (I told you I was a nerd), and without fail I start them enthusiastically, only to have them migrate to the "donations" pile months later.
However I am very proud to say that I started AND finished a whole entire non-fiction book . Yes it had pictures, but the images were by a photographer so that's different (right?). One of my mentor's surprised me with a the book Wedding Photography From the Heart.
I read it from cover to cover and it was inspiring and visually stunning. If you are looking for inspiration as a photographer, or just enjoy beautiful imagery, I encourage you to grab a copy. You'll definitely finish it, whether you're a lover of non-fiction or not!
My Wedding Dream Book: CAKE!
There are cakes, and then there are wedding cakes, delightful sweets that look as good as they taste.
Adding wedding cake vendors to my little black book is always a tasty endeavor :) Here are a few names definitely in my book:
Sugar Bee Sweets (4th image row 4)
Opulent Cakes (3rd image row 4)
AND I discovered something divine. You don't have to wait until a wedding to enjoy wedding cake. Some cake companies have smaller cakes that you can buy for regular celebrations like graduations, birthdays, Fridays, & I-feel-like-cake-days :)
Bon Appetite! (above cake slice by Creme de la Creme).
