my best friend.

My best friend, Emily, and I went on a photo shoot at The Avenues downtown a few days ago, and got some really great pictures of each other. These are some of my favorites I shot of her.

My niece was born just a week ago, and I've already taken dozens of pictures of her. She's a good model. This is Brooke Marie, born on the 5th of July, 2009. 7 pounds, 6 ouces, 19 1/2 inches long.

four children of god.

I was at the park the other day, and these four children let me take pictures of them. I love taking pictures of children because their complexion is so perfect, and their eyes are so big and beautiful, filled with the light of Christ. I love how they always have food around their mouths from eating, and I love how their hair is just a little messy. I really love their freckles too. Kids are just cute, and so I photograph them.

my firsts.

I just recently bought a digital SLR camera, and I love it to death. Before I had it, though, I used my digital point-and-shoot. Even though I like the effects of my SLR better, I've got to admit that my point-and-shoot did take pretty decent pictures...

Number one.

I was outside in my backward noticing the flowers that were growing all around. I thought to myself, I should take some pictures of these! This is the best one I took.

Number two.

This one was taken at Las Vegas in a parking garage. That's the New York, New York roller coaster.

Number three.

I took this while at work. I was at the library, and I saw this awesome IFA factory right across the street. I thought it would be a good idea to get the fire hydrant in there, too.

Number four.

I was out and about by a lake about twenty minutes from my house, and I took a ton of pictures of it. This was my favorite one.

Number five.

On our cruise a few months ago, we stopped in San Francisco and visited the island of Alcatraz. This isn't my favorite picture I took, but other people seem to like it the most.
