Exciting News!

Gee, I can't believe I haven't posted in a month! Christmas sure flew by and I've been busy working on something exciting, that I'm finally ready to share with everyone. I'm officially opening my own photography business, Sereina Charise Photography! And with that come a whole new website/blog. It's been 3 years since I started this blog and in that time I've learned so much about photography and got to know a lot of awesome other bloggers.

So without further ado, I'm excited to share my new website!

Since I'm now finished with this blog, if you want to keep up with me bookmark/follow/subscribe to my new blog. My first post is of my latest session of my friend Rachel's senior portraits. This blog will remain here, I just won't be posting on it anymore.

And also, many thanks to all of you who read my blog and have left all sorts of encouraging comments over the years. I really appreciate it. :)

Ornaments with Memories

Whenever we travel somewhere, my mom likes to buy an ornament for our Christmas tree that has something to do with the area we visited. Some of them include: Canada, Mt. Rushmore, Disneyland, Tennessee, and San Francisco. But our latest edition, and a favorite for all us kids, is our Disney Cruise Line ornament from our Disney Wonder cruise in February. I think it will be the favorite for a long time.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Today is December second, which means Christmas is just 23 days away. I've already watched several Christmas movies, but I can't wait to watch The Santa Clause movies which I have set to record on our DVR next weekend. Those are some of my favorites. And my Christmas station on Pandora has been on pretty much all day every day, which I awesome.





Hooray for awesome Christmas tree bokeh!

I decided to make a Christmas video with clips of different decorations around the house. You can check it out below:

Festival of Trees

Yesterday we went to the Festival of Trees, which had around a dozen beautifully decorated trees. There was everything from winter red and white candies, Cinderella, nature Mexican, and even Clifford the Big Red Dog themed trees.

These green feather-y birds are my favorite!




There were lots of shiny giant ornaments perfect for taking pictures of yourself.

Let the Christmas Season Begin!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving was pretty simple this year, just hanging out and dinner with Grandma and Grandpa. Friday we all went Black Friday shopping (at 3:00AM!), which we've been doing for about ten years now, and came home with some good deals. And all weekend we've been eating tons of Thanksgiving leftovers, which I love.

I've put some lights up in my bedroom window, the house is filled with Christmas decorations, we've been listening to lots of Christmas music on Pandora, and I have already watched two Christmas movies. Oh, and we just got our tree. Christmas time is definitely here!
