Onyx Salon

The shoot was so fun. I got to meet so many great people and take some classic photographs for them. I set up my traveling studio in a back room at the salon and took photos all night. People were able to get their hair and make up done and then get the photograph taken. What a sweet deal for only $15!

My biggest photo shoot to date!

I was a little nervous on Friday for my biggest photo shoot to date. I had about 20 Karate students coming to me for their photographs. I had fears of not getting the right orders made or not having enough time with each student. Ten minutes for a photo shoot just didn't seem like enough!

To my surprise it couldn't have gone smoother! My mom was such a good organizer. She was at the front desk checking people in and taking their orders. My dad was helping out with the computer and posing the children, and I was behind the camera. There was plenty of time for each student. I never felt rushed.

Here are just a few of my favorites:

A Thousand Welcomes!

If you are visiting my blog from the British Literary page A Thousand Welcomes (which just so happens to be one of the first things Bart, our Irish bus driver, said to us besides "Wakie Wakie"). Welcome to everyone else too! I hope you enjoy the photographs. If you are still wondering if you should go on this trip...GO! It was hands down the best time of my life. If you are worried about money just work like crazy, save everything, and you will have enough. Thats what I did. 

I want to share a few excerpts from my diary to give you an idea of how exciting traveling is.

"My first day in Gallaway has been unreal. Besides the fact that people drive on the wrong side of the road it doesn't feel like I'm actually in Ireland! I'm really here... across the Atlantic on that little Island I always wondered about. I love it."

"I'm sitting on my bottom bunk in the Barnacles Hostel in Dublin, Ireland. I can hear beautiful fiddle music coming from the pub down the street. I just love this place! The bus ride to Dublin was so fun. Bart, the driver told us all about the Leprechauns (he called them little people). He also told us stories about when he visited America and was pulled over on the motor way. The way he told the story had the whole bus cracking up. I'm excited for tomorrow!"

"I'm siting on my twin bed in Stratford, England just waiting to go to the Royal Shakespeare theater to see The Merchant of Venice. I'm living a dream! Thank you to my Heavenly Father for this wonderful experience."

Now to show you some photographs (my expertise) from the experience. I'm not an english major so if my writing is not up to par forgive me!

Two pieces of advice given to me by a great friend: LIVE YOUR LIFE! and DO IT!

My First Bridals!

As my family and I packed up our suburban and drove the threeish day trip up to Idaho for my sister's graduation we made a little pit stop in St. George Utah. I was able to take Bridal photos with my dad for my cousin. I just LOVE her dress! The tie up back and the bunched bottom had just the right about of elegance and style. I am so happy for my cousin! She in now happily married to the love of her life. Congratulations love!!
