52 Weeks of Awesomeness - Wk 7

This weeks theme was "On The Road". So I chose an image I've been meaning to get to for awhile. I always put personal photos on the back-burner because client sessions come first of course. I'm lucky if I get to my personal images every 6 months or so lol. I just love this image though. The road outside of my moms property in Iowa is gorgeous in the fall and I couldn't have been luckier to grow up there. :)

This weeks theme was "one object, shot using 5 different perspectives. So of course I made my chunky monkey of a Pug my subject once again :)

This weeks theme was "Guilty Pleasure". I knew right away that I had to do something to showcase my abnormal chocolate obsession :) I will seriously go through this loot in about 8 days... then I will go right out and restock my supplies. The crazy thing is I hated chocolate as a kid, which is probably why I've never had a cavity *knock on wood*. You couldn't get me to eat a Hershey bar or Snickers if my life depended on it, and now I can't seem to get enough of it all!

This weeks challenge was all things sports related. I decided to show off both of my favorite sports. Fishing, and of course FOOTBALL! I am a huge lover of all things fishing and all things New England Patriots. If you like another team, it's okay... that sour feeling you're getting right now is just from remembering the pats beat your team ;) haha

 This weeks theme was "Your Name". I was thinking "how on earth do you photograph your name in a way that tells a story. I decided to forgo my first name (Melisha), as it was chosen pretty much at random when my parents couldn't decide :) But my last name turned out to be pretty easy, I got that one when I was lucky enough to marry my amazing husband. Hope you enjoy the image!

This weeks challenge was "Show us your home" which could be interpreted any way you want. Of course I had to include my little family. My 2 handsome men. I love them so much and home is wherever they are.

52 Weeks of Awesomeness - Wk 2

The theme for this week was "Introduce yourself". EEEK!!! Why such a hard one on only the second week?! lol I was scrambling to find anything that identified who I am without actually doing a self portrait and it hit me about 2 hours before the deadline to get submissions in that my smart phone pretty much sums me up. You could guess a lot of things about me from my phone. You'd probably guess that I'm organized and maybe even a little OCD about lists, I love brain games, or that my favorite books are in The Hunger Game series. From a million pictures of the ones I love to crazy apps for time management no other 26 year old women would have... this phone is all me!

Catheryn of Rock Star Images

I am so blessed to have amazing friends, especially ones that share my passion for photography. Catheryn is one of those ladies! We went out last week and shot some cool new spots for fun and here are some of my favorite images I snapped of her that day.

Waterfall Project

I love the waterfalls in Geary County and it's been a goal of mine to do a project shoot there sense last June! The falls are best in June but with this sweltering July they were just a trickle by the time we got there, BUT we rocked the location out anyway and I had a blast out there. Getting wet was the only way shooting on a hot day like that would even work. :)

 

 

 

52 Weeks of Awesomeness

For the next 52 weeks I will be participating in a large group photography challenge thought up by the genius and so fun Chris from LaBrisa Photography. This week's theme was easy. It's "Free For All" so anything goes. I decided to show a little bit of my other talents, which is crafting crafting crafting. Give me a glue gun and I'm a happy camper. I make my own personal headbands for sessions and I love it! I also love to paint, sculpt, create mixed media jewelry, crochet, and bake sweet treats. I'm a far better baker than a cook anyway :)
