Beach pictures

Although today is the first day of winter, it is 72 degrees outside, which reminded me that I was going to post beach pictures. :)
One of our family's favorite thing to do in the summer is to go to the beach. This year we went twice a week or more. Often we would meet friends there, and swim and run down the beach for hours. And of course a good tan never hurt either. :)

 

We all love boogie boarding, and we had many good days for it.

We were getting ready for a jumping picure, but this was so cute of Joshua. :) (second on the right)

Some of our friends live near a lake, so the next few pictures were taken there

Daniel, Ben, and Isaac at the lake

I stood in a boat nearby while taking pictures of everyone jumping off the diving board.

Tuck your head in, Daniel!

I love this picture, it looks like Ben is flying :)

This is watermellon we grew in our garden this year.

The pyramid crumbled right before Joy stood up, but it was fun anyway, despite the temporary pain. :)

Mostly a random picture of my friend, Olivia and I at a pool party this summer

We found this starfish washed up on the beach. After we all enjoyed looking at it, we put it back in, since it was alive

 

 

Hope ya'll enjoyed the pictures, and Merry Christmas!

Barn Dance

In November we went to another barn dance hosted by the Alexander family. We all had such a great time, and agreed it was the most fun yet. :)

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the actual dancing, because I did all but one dance, which isn't all that unfortunate, I had a great time!

 

 These are pictures from the obstacle course that was set up.

Favorite photos from recent photo-shoots

These pictures are from a photo-shoot my older sister, Kendal and I did while we were on vacation.

I love my Chuck Taylor sneakers, and I thought they would make a good prop. :)

These were taken with my new 50mm "pancake" as my friend Cailin calls a prime lens :)
This is my sister, Anna. She makes a great model!

Recent Photography

Hi guys!
 My recent absence from the blogging world is mostly due the fact that I've been spending my free time learning about photography. My parents gave me a wonderful gift of a Canon 60D  this spring, so I've been practicing with it. Recently I discovered a nearly perfect spot for taking pictures in our upstairs room. The walls are light colored, angled, and  there's a window.  So the pictures of my younger sister, at the bottom of the page were taken in that room.
Here are some recent shots I've taken. They are far from perfect, but I'm learning as I go. :)



I took this picture at a farm where a friend had a birthday party

I hope y'all all  have a great weekend!
