I wasnt having such luck in my week and due to my back injuries and pain I felt as if my world was upside down in many ways.

I was feeling much better and was so happy to be able to join my friends and watch our friends get married , it was a small wedding and very cute and I just loved watching two people so much in love and happy join together to share their lives . Their vows were so honest and thoughtful and also showing themselves to family and friends. They are a fun couple with smiles on their faces and share the joy of happiness and love to everyone they are close with.

I brought my camera and just started taking pictures as I always do with my friends and family, my camera is everywhere I go , sometimes I like to think of it as my other eye that records my life around me. I wanted to make sure they had pictures from their wedding and their families and friends all pitched in to take pictures to their best ability it was so amazing to see everyone helping each other out through out it all ,  making the dress,the food, the cake,the pictures, and that is family teamwork. Just seeing how everyone was involved in helping in some way with the wedding to happen and come true was amazing.

Cheers to you Leah and Doug, may all your dreams and everything you go through with one another be amazing as much as you are .

  My friends at the wedding just having some fun posing for the camera  I love you guys you are wonderful to be around and putting up with me always around with my camera and capturing your lives .

The beauty of watching two young people in love and happy sharing their lives together and saying the I do ’s and inviting their families and friends that are close to their hearts to share their love they have towards one another and becoming one with each other , I was very happy to have gotten the chance to meet all the wonderful people at their wedding and witness and capture everyone moments and the bride and groom’s day
the laughs amongst friends and family , and the happy tears with the maid of honor and bride and parents and grand parents, aunts and uncles.
It reminded me of my best friend’s wedding two years ago , and I was the maid of honor as well so seeing the speeches and the dances and the tears between everyone made me remember when I was in that place and how special it is to have that day and to see your best friend marring their love and (hopes) lives happily ever after. To Brad and Sarah may your love grow strong after each day and hold each other close and watch each other grow , and to my best friend Michelle, I am so glad I could be there for you and only wish I can be there more and I hope you will be there when I get married some day :]
To everyone that has that special person and everyone that hasn’t met that person yet and to the families and friends that keep us laughing and smiling , I hope the best to everyone :]

My friends and I went downtown, Grand Rapids, It was my friends Kyle and Aurora, along with Larry and we went to see people going to see the rally, I didn’t understand what it was all about so I stayed up all night with my friends, grabbed some coffee and my handy camera and sat in line in the cold weather for about 6 hours. Just seeing how everyone was getting together to see this man speak. It was my first political rally I have ever attended and it was a great way to see how people involved their time and efforts, seeing parents with their children and just seeing people with different backgrounds coming together for their cause, quite an inspiration.

On Sept. 17th 2008 there was a fire off of burlingame ave with the swiss vally apartments, I was on my way back eating dinner with my family for my mother’s birthday and saw the smoke, so I grabbed my camera and went to see what was going on. It is so sad seeing all the families that were effected by the fire and standing around outside of their apartments and waiting, the firemen were working very hard trying to make sure everything was safe and the fire was out

Went downtown, went to the new museum and saw the Christmas tree up in front, over by where people can ice skate in Rosa park circle, took some pictures while the snow was coming down, and it was really cold, my camera was covered with a bag while I was taking the photo’s. My good friend Aurora was with me, video taping everything , then my boyfriend was taking some pictures as well. we were on a adventure of taking pictures in the very cold weather, and having fun in the snow, we also went on top of a parking garage , my first time, and taking pictures of the cars going by, it was very windy and snow kept coming, but it was a great fun experience with my friends.

The windows are covered as if their stain glass, the snow is like little crystals falling from the sky , the ground is ice and you could fall. I have my little hat and my coat to keep me warm, I have a smile on my face as I spin around in circles when the snow falls down, this portrait came to mind remembering just a few weeks ago this little girl was enjoying the leaves as I was with the snow. I am a little child at heart and I love taking moments out of my day and just not think of anything going on around me and feel young again. This portrait tells me a story of a child that will some day become a beautiful young woman that can look at these days and see the child within her .

This is my first entry and this is a portrait I really enjoyed.

It’s easy  when your subject is so beautiful.

Brother and Sister finding Adventure together.
I had a lot of fun going out and taking their photograph’s , they were full of life and enjoyed everything around them, They both loved getting their photograph’s taken so that part was a piece of cake , it was the keeping up with them part that took me by surprise but yet it was exicting at the same time .
I would have to say they get their characters that they have due to their mother , I havent met the father yet, but their mother is a wonderful person ready for anything even though she works so hard, juggling everything in her life as well as theirs.
I would call her Super mom.
