The Busiest Week Ever

This week, as I've hinted at already, has been one of those off the charts busy weeks. I am editing lots of photos to bring to you though! But they're going to have to wait to get posted until this weekend is over. I have:
-Jenni
-Michelle's Bridal Prep
-Doggies
-Steve & Alecia
PLUS!
I have some spring photos that I took for fun that I haven't shared yet!

SEE! Lots of photos coming your way very, very soon! Hold on to your shorts, kids! :)

SORRY!

Hey everyone!

With a gentle nudge and reminder from MCH, I'm blogging. :) The past two weeks have been CHAOS! Wrapped in a little stress, frustration, and busy-ness! Why? Well, let's rewind to two weeks ago today....

I was opening at my "real job" (assistant manager for a popular restaurant chain), which entails me being to work by 5 a.m. Yes, CRAAAAZY early! So I was running a little behind schedule and opted to go with the faster route to work. This being the bypass, which, as you shall soon see and hear, was a bad idea. The full moon had been a night or two before, so there was no moon, and on top of that, it was cloudy out anyways (started raining a couple hours later and rained for about 2 and a half straight days). Plus, the bypass is not lit. I came VERY suddenly upon 3-4 deer, hard to tell for sure in the dark, and had the option of hitting them all and probably getting a couple of them through my windshield, or attempting to avoid. I attempted to avoid, lost control, and hit the cement median.


Poor, George Michael... (Yes, he's named after Michael Cera's character on 'Arrested Development'. Completely nerdy, I know. :D)

For the record, Honda's safety features are amazing and I got off with some bumps and bruises despite my 65 mph crash into a cement wall.


My completely intense knee bruise from my steering wheel.

Needless to say, the damage under the hood combined with the fact that almost all my airbags deployed is meaning a totaled vehicle.

The car drama (insurance people are ridiculous!) and the photos and the "real job" and the moving (my roommate bought a house!) have created a less than ideal blogging situation for me. But I have those photos of Jenni I promised AND some great spring time ones. Keep an eye out. :) I will do mass blogging soon...within the next week...PROMISE! And maybe by then I'll have a shiny new car to show you, too! Any ideas for names? ;)

Jenni

I'm moments away from completing all the desired edits on Jenni's fantastic photos! It's going to be hard to limit it for this post, but look forward to that update later today! :)

Jenni, Tyler, and Sun - Oh My!

It was a gorgeous weekend here in Indiana! Lots of sun and warmth and photos! Went on a walk Friday and got just a couple shots, which I mentioned in my Friday post, but I'll share more photos from that when I get to editing. And then Saturday morning I shot Jenni's senior photos, which was a really fun shoot, and shot at two new locations! Again, I'll share from that shoot when editing is done. I'm shooting Tyler's senior photos Wednesday, and I'm excited about that, too! Tyler is a pro biker and he is just goofy and a lot of fun. It will be a crazy day and I'm sure the photos will be great AND fun...he's a completely good lookin' kid. :) For now, the real job is beckoning me in 4 hours, so I better get a few zzz's...I guess this is why I shouldn't nap. :)

I'll leave you with my favorite (so far) SOOC shot of the gorgeous Jenni!

Birds & Blooms

I went out on a walk today. 70 and sunny and low humidity, how can I resist that kind of Indiana spring?! And on a day off of the real job! I haven't gone through all the photos, but there aren't many, as I was walking with a friend and she wanted to try out the camera. Check out this stunna though! It's a tad blurry, but kinda perfect (to me) anyways. It almost looks fake because the sky was so blue, the buds were so red, and the bird was so yellow! I swear it's not fake and that there is no change to contrast! Just a tad bit of sharpening to try to make the bird look better. :)
