Disney Weekend

I almost didn't bring my camera with me this time around. I'm glad I did.








 She didn't know I was taking her picture. She likes to talk to her toys. I think she was scolding him haha



 


Aww. Look at the adorable boogers.



My favorite shot from the day.


I'll finish this post the same way I started it...with a skate trick.  

I just wanted to mention one small achievement...nothing much, really, but over the weekend I participated in a photography assignment contest online on www.thepioneerwoman.com. Her blog is awesome, and part of it focuses on photography- tutorials, guest posts, her own, and contests. For her last contest, she provided a photograph for us, the readers, to edit any way we wanted. After that, she picked groups of her favorites and then picked four winners from those groups. I estimated she received about 2000+ submissions, and picked maybe 80 or less as her favorites to choose the winners from, and she picked mine! I didn't win but just getting selected is awesome. I know it's no big deal but it still made me really happy! :)

Here's the original:

Outtakes

I haven't had much opportunity to do a lot of photographing. Life has been very busy, hectic, and non-stop. There is something happening every day, every weekend. But tonight I had some time to just sit and sort through some photos taken in the last 7 months or so. I had overlooked some that I kind of like.

Taken the day Jared asked me to marry him, at Morikami Museum and Gardens :) I'm so glad I have photos to remember this day. 

Another shot from the same day.

Awesome tree.


Epcot Flower and Garden Festival.



She hates, loathes, detestes, and utterly disdains having her hair brushed.

That's all for now, folks. Hopefully I will get some newer pics posted soon.
