My baby sis is graduating!

Playing Catch Up

October 11th - October 16th:

Arkansas turned out to be one of the funnest trips of my life.  I never wrote about going because things were so rocky once I got home.  I don't know what I really expected when flying into Arkansas, but it was definitely not anything like what I thought. It was beautiful! So pretty. I want to go see more of the midwest just because of that trip. Growing up in central Arizona really shelters you from all of the gorgeous greenery in other parts of the country. Not that Arizona isn't beautiful; it is. And parts of Arizona are prettier than others, but Arkansas just blew me away.  Pictures don't even do it justice.

On December 20, 2012 I GRADUATED from Arizona State University! :)

I can't believe I am done with my undergraduate degree! How crazy is that? It's still pretty surreal to me. The fact that I am not signing up for classes in the spring is somewhat exciting and somewhat scary. I'm supposed to just be working full time now? I don't know if I like the sound of that. I applied for Teach for America and I'll hear back if I got a first initial interview or not on January 17th. Cross your fingers for me! I've heard it's really competitive and difficult to get into! Wish me luck :)

sister & kiddos.

So I'm officially the worst "blogger" ever. I know I say that every time I post.  I guess that's because I NEVER update this. I will get better. I graduate in one month! Woo :) More updates soon, but for now here are some ADORABLE kids I got to photograph. Love them! And my sister is a babe in her pictures below. Enjoy!

ten years later...

So I know I have been AWFUL at blogging lately.  I wanted to do a post featuring my cute little sister who is wearing a necklace from Thrifted Wood! So cute, right? We both love it and there are so many color options on the website as well as other jewelry.

I will update soon about school and life in the scorchingly hot, yet somehow beautiful Arizona! Until then, check out my lovely cousin's store why don't ya? :)

camping & hiking

 American Fork Canyon: GORGEOUS!

We went to Silver Lake Flatts :) Too bad we didn't know the hike up to Silver Lake was closed.. Still totally worth it!

Our hike to Stewart Falls instead :)

bridals for the happy couple.

Alright, between two of my other sessions and this one, I have had the chance to photograph all of my roommates! Which has been a lot of fun. :) And by the way, none of these photos have been retouched! 

 Kristee and Bryce are getting married August 11th and I am so excited for them.  Don't they just radiate happiness? Here are just a few of my favorites from the session.  And can I just give another scenery shout out to Utah? Gorgeous!
