School started today. Actually I’m excited for this school year, I think it’s going to be the best one yet. I’m homeschooled, but I go to a two day a week homeschool co-op, so I still have teachers, classes and classmates (although to put in perspective, the entire highschool at the co-op has 33 students).

Dear Friends, Hi! I hope your life is going good. I just got back from a two day retreat with my youth group. It was an amazing retreat and probably among the best I’ve been on. While on the retreat God made it clear to me that I needed to make some changes in my life. […]

In case you haven’t figured it out already, I love editing. And I love good editing. In fact after having nice equipment and a good eye, I believe having good editing skills are what really make a photo pop. I’m not the best at editing, and I’m still getting better at it every time I […]

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. But actually I have loved cameras and pictures since I was a little girl. I bought my first camera at […]

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 […]

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 […]

…HOME! I’m back from two completely different, but equally amazing weeks. It’s really good to be back home. My sister and I flew home from Chicago this morning and then we celebrated my younger brother’s 4th birthday. Then my sister got on the computer and so my first chance to get on the computer was […]
