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.

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.

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!

Random Friday

-A couple months ago my sister Tiana got her new camera, a Panasonic GF3 in the mail. It's a mirror-less interchangeable-lens camera, so the body is quite small, about the size of an average point and shoot, but has interchangeable lenses. It's takes great pictures!

-Our friends Rose, Carrie, and Emmalyn had never seen any of the American Girl movies, but had read the books, so whenever we could we've been getting together to watch them all. We watched them all in date order; Felicity, Samantha, Kit, and Molly. We finished this past Sunday and are planing on watching The Princess Diaries next.

-Two weeks ago our family went to a costume party that our friends hosted. I dressed up as a Disney Tourist. It was awesome.

(Follow me on Instagram! I'm "sereinab")

-Tuesday I watched Bells are Ringing, a musical staring Judy Holliday and Dean Martin. I first saw it 2-3 years ago when I was just getting into old movies, but I enjoyed it even more this time. It's got some catchy songs and my sisters had them stuck in their heads for days! lol!

-Yesterday I suddely decided to take some video of all the pretty fall leaves and such outside and made a video montage with music. I turned out pretty good!

(for best quality, be sure to watch in HD!)


What have you been up to lately?

Megan // 2013 Senior

A couple weeks ago I got a Facebook message from a Megan asking if I'd be willing to take her senior portraits. Less than a week later we found ourselves at the town center and trail area that was just perfect for the pictures she wanted. She totally rocks the natural poses and is the only person I've met so far that doesn't actually end up smiling when I ask for a straight face! Hahaha!

I first met Megan three years ago, at a our homeschool co-op, and now she'll be graduating this spring. Time sure has flown by! I have lots of good memories of the lunches we spent walking around outside and all of the teen events and swing dances we went to. She's a fun girl to hang around with!

P.S. If you want so see more pictures, I posted the rest on my Facebook Page.

Portrait Practice

Sarah // Sereina Charise Photography

Sarah and Cristina willingly agreed to model for me on a spur the moment portrait session we did while they were over one day. I'd been wanting to practice taking portraits at a wide aperture and they were at the right place at the right time. :)

It was early in the evening, so the sun was low and there was lots of open shade, my favorite type of lighting.

The other evening, quite randomly and suddenly, decided I wanted to take some fall pictures. The lighting was perfect for portraits, although it was a bit chilly outside. I had Tiana, Alina, and Daniel dress in some fall-ish clothes: sweaters, boots, scarfs, and such. I was able to try some new poses, which I found on Pinterest. There are so many awesome ideas on there! After we finished, we went inside and ate candy corn. Yep, I like fall.

Adorable Kitty

Gino // Sereina Charise Photography

It's kinda funny, because I think I probably have taken more pictures of the neighbors cat, Gino, than of our own cats. You'd think that our two cats, who will be turning seven this month, would sit still longer than a young kitty around a year and a half old, but that's not the case. That's okay though, cause Gino is such a pretty cat. Siamese will always be my favorite, but I love his light green eyes. And I think our cats like having a buddy to play with.
