I've decided to try blogging again.

You reach a point in your life where, social media is the only way people remember that;
a. you are, in fact, still alive
b. you are doing awesome things with your life
c. you also are doing as equally boring things with your life
d. you even have a life

I have reached that point and this is almost the only way my family knows what I'm up to.

So. I'm alive. And here's my most recent update.

I've started to work as a photographer at FotoFly. It's a Utah studio and I absolutely love it. But it has definitely taken me for a loop, and shaken my confidence. While a little nerve racking, I'm happy about it. I haven't been pushed out of my comfort zone this much in a while. And how can I ever grow and be better if I'm not being pushed? I am, however, looking forward to the day that I'm very good at what I do.

Also. I was recently reminded that I love to read. Yesterday to be exact. Cade is making me read a collection of H.P. Lovecraft's work. I mostly agreed to read the hunk of a book because Lovecraft's primary influence was Edgar Allan Poe. I love Poe. And so far I'm loving this book.

What good is my blog if I don't look a little vain... I think I need a few more pictures of myself.

I should probably post a picture of Cade too.. cause I love him n' stuff.

He really is the best.

We've been dating for about a year and a half, and just like every couple, we've had our ups and downs. But somehow, he loves me enough that we've gotten passed the rocky parts and even being separated. But here we are. Happy as two struggling twenty-somethings could be figuring this "life" thing out. Plus we have fun.

annnnnd that's basically my life. Work. Cade. And now, once again, this blog.

What a Doll.

She is and always has been one of my favorite people. And she is without a doubt one of my biggest inspirations. Blonde hair, blue eyes. She's a dream. And lately she's begun to acquire the most darling freckles.
I needed to do some practice shots the other day for an upcoming portrait assignment in one of my classes. And she insisted I take her picture. I'm actually way happy with what I got.

We're finally in the last days of winter. Spring usually is my favorite season. But this year? I couldn't be more excited for summer. Swimming. No School. Getting some vacation time in. No School. Not freezing. Late nights. No school. Star gazing. Bonfires. No School. 

I'm just really excited.
