phone picture dump #uno

are you ready to see my life lately, as represented through the pictures on my phone? I thought so! Here goes:

First of all, I doodle all all all through every class, church meeting...everything
Oh and I'm very much in love with all the "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters I've been seeing lately

I am perfectly aware that I have the cutest nieces ever, thank you very much

When I go on roadtrips with my girls, I make them do phone photo shoots for me

Tam, Janessa and I ate a lot of eggs benedict, BUT since I can't eat wheat and Tam is a veggie-tarian, each of our plates were different. It's cool. 

Janessa's=muffin, ham, egg, sauce (aka normal)

Tam's=english muffin, egg, sauce

mine=ham, egg, sauce

Mom says I have too much camera equipment.

I says I don't have enough :)
Plus, this is only one camera bag, and only four out of my...nine cameras...

Hecks yes, there is TOTES a Nielsen's in the Burg now!

TACO BUS! Happy cinco de mayo :) Me encanta el taco bus, fo realz

Just a cutey little cow. Not really important but...yeah.

Oh, and may I introduce you to starburst milkshakes? They are exactly what they sound like (milk+icecream+starbursts=manna from heaven)

and they will blow your mind.

 

That's enough for now. Toodles :)

so I took my first "real" engagements a few weeks ago.
I've really debated putting any of them up.
The light was too bright when we went out (I should have known better) and I really just don't think they show what I am capable of as a photographer.
I know I can do better.
Anyway, here are some that I thought were ok. 

It's hard because I know I'm better than this and I don't want people to think I'm just a "mom-tographer" who doesn't know squat about lighting and never takes her camera off of the auto settings. 

Photo is a tough business.
In any case, Matt and Wendy were fun to work with! Fun and obviously in love and willing to do all the crazy things I asked them to, which may or may not have included trespassing. 

the temple

I just got back from the temple and my heart is so full! 

I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the blessing it is in my life. I'm grateful for the comfort and clarity it brings to my heart and mind. 

With all the million other things I have to do every day, I still can't believe I let myself think that any one of them was more important than going to the temple. There is no replacement for the spirit in that building. 

I know that I am a child of Heavenly parents, who love me more than I can fathom and want me to return to live with them one day.

I know my Savior lives.

This song was in my head the whole time I was there, and this video happens to have a lot of pictures from Rexburg in it.
