Our internet is working again and this is the first chance I’ve gotten to post it.) Hello dear friends! Thanks so much for taking the time to […]

Recently I’ve been thinking about when I started to love photography. I think in my “about me” page I said about 2 years. Which is how long I’ve been knowingly loving and obsessing with photography.

We lived through Hurricane Irene…yay! Actually, I live in central PA so all we got was strong winds and some flash floods (not near my house though). And we did lose power all morning. It’s amazing how much we use electricity for. We have a well so when we lose power we also lose water. […]

I got to cross two more items of my bucket list (which by the way is a new page I put up), I saw three shooting stars while camping and then last night I found out that I had been picked as the winner for Mcdougall Photography’s Fabulous Friday photo link-up. Thank you very much […]

I’ve found a new obsession. Lightning photography. I never knew how fun and addicting it was! I took my first ever lightning photos today and after an hour and half on our front porch and about 400 pictures later, I have 5 awesome lightning photos and it was totally worth it! It took me awhile […]

Here’s the lovely original photo: I decided to play around with textures, I don’t usually like the effect of textures but I really like how this came out.My edit: Basically I did what I would normally do for a photo.1) Played with the exposure, […]

I think a lot of people assume you just need a good camera to get a good photo. And it’s true a good camera does help capture a great image, but you also need to know how to edit well. Personally I think editing is at least 1/2 of what makes a great image. Even […]

Hey guys! Thanks for reading! I have to do this real because we’re about to play a game and then head off to a local pub (not a bar – there’s a big difference) to hear my cousin play the violin. But I wanted to share a photo with you real quick. I haven’t loaded […]
