My Mom

A couple weeks ago, my mom wanted some portraits. So we went in the backyard, and shot several pictures.

I'm planning on doing a photo shoot with some of my friends this Tuesday, so I plan on have lots of great pictures to post!

Also, I reached 60 followers this weekend! Thank you all for following and reading my posts!

Have a great week, everyone!

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Historic Flight Open House

Saturday we volunteered at the Historic Flight Open House and I happened to get a few okay pictures.

I like getting the details of some of the planes.

John (on the very right) who owns and flys several vintage planes.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Unplanned Photo Fun!

I was standing in the grass, with the wind blowing, and my camera in hand. I've always wanted to get some photos with someone's hair blowing in the wind. So I told my friend Cristina, to pose for some pictures.  

I’ll be posting some pictures from the Historic Flight Open House we volunteered at yesterday. But it might be a few days since I’m sick and not feeling too good…


Have a great Sunday!

Waiting for Summer

I haven’t been photographing to much lately, so I won’t have as many posts for a while. But once summer starts, I’m sure I’ll have oodles of pictures to share! Next month we will be going camping, which I’m sure to get lots of pictures. And after schools out, I’m planning a couple photo shoots with my friends, which should be lots of fun! And near the end of summer, we are going to spend a week at a beach house.

So for now, here is a picture of my sister, Alina, outside in our backyard reading Nancy Drew: The Mystery at Lilac Inn. It's one of my favorite Nancy Drew books!

Have a great day!

World History

 We just finished studying World War II in my World History class. Just two more chapters then we are done with the book! :D We've learned lots of information, but a bunch of it hasn't stayed with me. One school year just isn't enough time to study the whole history of the world!

I haven't had anything interesting to photograph latley, so I decide to take a few photos of my history book.

I love getting up close to objects when getting pictures of them.

Maps. I've always loved looking at them and doing activities where you have to label different locations and features.

Lilacs are Blooming

We have a lovely lilac tree in our backyard and not long ago, it began to bloom. My mother picked a handful of them and put them in a vase, and they smell so good! I love spring!

The background behind the flowers was dull looking, so I added a texture from Johnna's blog.

Doji

Doji is our other fuzzy feline (I posted about his brother, Koko, here). These brothers may look similar, but once you get to know them, you will find out that they have many differences.

Doji doesn't like to cooperate when I bring out the camera. It's quite a bit harder to get a good picture of him, that it is with his brother. But here are a couple that turned out pretty good.

Doesn't he have pretty eyes?

Sisters!

Yesterday my sisters went to a birthday brunch and they got to get dressed up a bit. Tiana loves dressing fancy, but Alina doesn't. She won't even wear a skirt or dress. I snapped a few photos before they left.

Alina and Tiana

Tiana; I really like this one!

Alina; just a simple portrait, since she doesn't like to have me take her picture.

Another shot of Tiana, which I also love!
