photography: getting my groove back

Confession: over the last few weeks i haven't taken many photos. i'll go for days without picking up my camera, or only snap a few shots. i don't know why i've fallen into this funk of sorts. but it's high time i got back in the groove of being a photographer.

so, i signed up for Kim Klassen's photoshop e-course today. i can't wait for it to start! i found out about the e-course through the lovely, talented photographer Ashley Sisk. if you've never looked at her blog, you should head over there right now. she just got her camera one year ago. can you believe that? i can't. her photos are amazing, and her blog is a HUGE inspiration to me. thank you Ashley!

 

i also wanted to add that Totally Rad Actionsare going to be on a super good sale next Friday, November 26. these actions have been on my wishlist for a long time, and i think now will be a the perfect opportunity for me to buy them.

 

Happy Friday everybody! Any fun plans for the weekend??

what is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert? do you always have 100* different kinds of pie like my family? or caramel apples? cake? let me know! i'd love to try some new recipes.

 

*i'm being sarcastic, of course. ☺

 

vacation photos

last month we went on vacation to a beautiful lake. we got to stay in a friends house, and had so much fun. it was our first vacation in five years, so we just relaxed and enjoyed our stay. :-)

 

 

 

 

morning coffee

 

my morning cup of coffee is quite possibly my favorite part of the day. ♥

What I Wore Wednesday

a full day and a late night kept me from posting this yesterday. so, what i wore wednesday on a thursday! ☺

 

i had the idea to start a weekly outfit post because i love reading/looking at them on other people's blogs, so i thought it might be well received here. each wednesday (or thursday, though i am going to try my best to post on wednesday's) i will post a photo of my outfit that day with a list of what i'm wearing, and links.

so here we go!

 

 

i couldn't get any good photos. in all of them the background was in focus, instead of me. i have visions of getting really creative with these pictures. i hope to get better each week!

 

what i'm wearing:

t-shirt: Gap (simular)

jean leggings: Gap

coat: Tucker for Target

shoes: my ever reliable Steve Madden flats

hair: messy :-)

earrings: Target (sorry you can't see them in the photo)

 

 

i'll be back with a post or two a little later. probably not a craftiness post, but some photos for sure!
