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 :)

mmmmmmm nature

two sundays ago, my sister and i took a nature walk at a park just down the street.  it was so beautiful outside.  this time of year in michigan, the colors are so pretty.  every different hue of orange, red, and yellow.  the park that we went to didn't have near as much color that i have seen elsewhere, but it was still beautiful.

falling into fall

i am SO excited for fall.

it's been a lot cooler here in west michigan lately (i'm sure that will change soon) and it makes me want fall so badly.  i'm getting my cardigans out and my skinny jeans in hope that this cool weather will last until fall actually comes!

i've been thinking about things that i'm looking forward to. so, without farther ado...

1. boots, boot, boots

i LOVE boots with skinny jeans.  also, i just bought some much wanted rain boots

2. cardigans

i know i mentioned it already, but love cardigans...especially with t-shirts

3. cool weather 

i love being bundled up with a sweater

4. fall weddings!

i have two weddings this fall and i am so excited.  i love both of these couples and i can't wait to see and be apart of their beautiful day

5. the colors

the trees are so beautiful as they change here in west michigan.

here is one of my favorite pictures that i took a few years ago.  i love all the leaves AND the pretty pup  too :)

update! update!

how could i forget my FAVORITE thing about fall.....

haunted corn mazes! (and other scary stuff)

how could i have possible forgotten that?!?!?
