The wedding pt1??

Hey everyone,


There is no excuse for me not writing on this blog except I have been just plain lazy. :D

About a week ago I was privileged to take pictures for a beautiful wedding in CO Springs for Mr and Mrs. Clayton Casey.  Not only was the bride illuminating beauty but the ceremony was the most heart felt service I have been to. Clayton and Vanessa were asked to write out the sermon themselves and I can say they have beautiful souls.
I learned so much through this experience, especially since this was my first wedding. But weddings are hard to shoot and also hard to gather and organize people without feeling like a dictator or being in the way. You really have to learn how to try to be as much of a ninja as you can with getting the ideal shots. I give props to wedding photographers because you have an amazing talent with your creativity, your leadership, and your perseverance. The funny part is you come home with heaps and heaps of pictures to find you can only use about 1/3 of the pictures you took..Yay for editing haha no.
I also was blessed having a teammate at the wedding, Aric. Not only was he helpful but so encouraging and knowledgeable. Thank You!!

So in other words, God thank you for growing me through this experience and for the help you give and for the lesson we learn along the way. 
I hope this finds you well.

Out of darkness come light??

Hey,

  I have lost all motivation and also seems inspiration since moving to Arizona, I don't know if it's the place or a new dip in the journey, but I find most of the times I feel very drained. How I miss being able to grab my camera or my paints and just going with it, I miss passion, I miss drive.   I hope soon enough, this will leave, but for now I am grateful for the desert days, it tends to bring things to the surface, our pains, our true desires, even our real weakness.  I am thankful for the pain and the shedding of skin, so when the rain comes, I am renewed and have a different understanding of not just life but who I am.

These pictures are from Halloween to yesterday. There are 2 pictures with sunlight coming through the darkness, when I saw these I couldn't get Matisyahu out of my head. So today my inspiration for this is "out of darkness comes light".
I hope this finds you well.

Field Trip???

Hey,

This weekend my photography class went on a field trip to the Japanese Friendship Garden.  We went at 8am so the sun was giving off a light glow. It was absolutely a gorgeous place, such a peaceful environment.  It was great because my grandparents were here for a visit as well, so we all enjoyed the garden and the season's re-opening of the garden.  

I hope this finds you well.
