Portrait Contest

I was really excited when I heard about Polka Dot's Portrait contest

cause I love taking pictures of people!!!

*********

But as I was looking through all my portraits, I realized that some of the best ones was some

senior portraits my sister took of me.

So this is actually my sister entering. Not me. So if one of these wins, the prize goes to her.

Thanks for hosting this Polka Dot, you rock girl. :)

{This Beautiful Life} Photography Contest

I decided I would enter Polka Dot's {This Beautiful Life} photography contest. So, after days and days of pondering which photos I should enter.... (not really...i decided like in 5 min.) I chose these three. Now, I did not do this alone. My sister and I worked as a team. She took the first one, and the last one was her idea. (but i took the photo)

The Beauty of Fall

The other day I was in a very creative mood. So I grabbed my sister, told her to put on my purple hat, and ran out to "play" in the leaves we had just raked. I had seen on various sits different fall photos that I absolutely loved, so I wanted to give them a try. What do ya think?

Photography Inspiration

I am so inspired by photography. They give me such good ideas for photoshoots. Here are some photos that I love. It would be so much fun to get together with some friends and give some of these tecniques a try.

These two would be a blast to do with friends. For this first one...depending on how many friends you have....you could spell anything you wanted!

With this one...I would make some changes. I don't like the way some of the people have their hands. I would have everyone do a peace sign, or hold hands.

For some strange reason, I love pics of people jumping. Especially when it's a silhouette.

I thought this one was really creative. I love the sun beam and how it makes everyone a silhouette. And the umbrellas add a splash of color. Plus...umbrellas when it's sunny. How cool is that???

I would love to do something like this at my wedding. It just looks like they're having so much fun! I like fun wedding photos.....that way they aren't all mooshy gooshy. ;) And finally.....balloons. AHHHH!!! I Love Them! They just make me happy inside! And hello!! It's so easy to take pics with them!!! I mean, they're cheap and they look good anytime, anywhere. (Why haven't I taken some pics with them before???) I thought it was so cool how the only thing colorful in this pic are the balloons. Well, that's it for now. Hope I inspired you to mabye go out and take some pics. I know they inspired me! Have a great day ya'll.

Top Hat Fun

My sister and I got this top hat from a friend for our Alice in Wonderland photoshoot. (Emily Bryte is the Mad Hatter....aka Johnny Depp!) As you can see....we had fun posing with it on. :) I love hats!

I kinda look like a guy in this pic.....I dunno. Like a gangsta bank robber from the 1920's. :)

Emily with a really creepy face on. (she's good at that.)

Emily's shadow. She looks like a ringmaster in a circus....and she looks like she has really baggy pants on. Strange......

Balloon Happiness

For some reason, I am getting really into photography. Some pictures just take your mind soaring somewhere else. I've been looking at quite a few photography blogs...and I've noticed that one major prop people like to use in their shots are balloons. At first I thought it was kinda cheesy and strange...but the more I look at them...the more they make me happy. They just add so much color and cheerfulness. Here are some of my favorite balloon pictures. Mabye they will make you happy too? Photos found via: We Heart It
