halloween a little late

i know, i know, it's been almost a month since halloween but i wanted to you all some photos from a very fun party hosted by my friend donna (aka gilly).

i dressed up as mary poppins.  i hit the jackpot at some thrift stores and ended up paying no more than $15 for my entire costume!  my friend peter dressed up as bert musically talented and hilarious chimney sweeper!

exercising my photag skills

so i have some beautiful friends.  have i said that before?  well, they are, both inside and out.  my friend jessica asked me to take some pictures of her and her husband jon during the fall when the leaves and colors are gorgeous.

i was able to practice a little bit of what i've learned about taking pictures.  i'm very far off from being a pro, but i was really excited to get some practice.  i also was able to work on my editing skills.  i didn't use photoshop this time (because i still don't really know how), but i'm getting there. 

so...enjoy :)

please do not copy/paste any photos without permission first. thanks :)

holland state park

last week, my sister and i went to the holland state parks to take some pictures and to get out pup out of the house and move her legs a little bit.

it was pretty cold. we walked the pier and it was even colder, needless to say, we didn't stay long.

desha, our husky, really enjoyed herself.  she chased birds and greeted everyone in site.
