Fantastic Future!

January is almost over! I haven't done any new shoots lately! I have been so busy. I have a few family, personal portraits, and a possible wedding shoot in the future. I am excited. I also have a few set senior portraits for the graduates of 2011 on my calendar! I am thrilled to see people enjoying my portraits. I am going to Las Vegas, Nevada and Long Beach, California for spring break, not to mention Disneyland :) I will hopefully be staying right on the beach where I plan to take tons of photos and I am searching for a new fabulous camera that I have in mind :) It's exciting and I am also going to be a "Live-in-Nanny" starting mid-March. I can't wait, and I'm sure I'll have tons of photos of the girls. They are changing quickly and I enjoy spending time with them. I have my last final year at Upward Bound this summer, although I hope to be a bridge student *fingers crossed* I am thrilled to know I get to go to Africa in August! :) A crap-load of pictures will be coming from that adventure!!!! I am taking my cousin's senior portraits in March and hopefully I can take my other cousins portraits with her and her new baby that is due in February! I am excited for the challenges to come and I hope time will fly, but I too can enjoy my days. :)

I'd love to take portraits whenever and however!
Give me a call/e-mail.

Africa in August

Hello everyone.
I am excited to say that I will be taking at trip to The Safari Lands of Africa. It is a joy to share this with you. I will be bringing back many portraits of all the people and creatures that come along my path as I discover the wonders of Africa. My father will be staying in Africa starting in March of 2010 and I will be a live in Nanny in my little old town of Pocatello, Idaho. I will still be available for photos, don't worry :) But I will be traveling in August not only to Africa but the United States as well. I'd love to discover more of the South part of the US. I haven't traveled any further than New Mexico. I'd love to go to Georgia and Tennessee. I can't wait for March to go to California for Spring Break; including Disneyland :) I am excited for this summer and my last "official" year with Upward Bound as a High School student. I hope to be a Bridge Student "College Student" the following Summer, but it all depends on if whether or not I am selected to be apart of that. I have done pretty well, so I am confident I will be on their list :)
Rehearsals for the musical this years seem slow, only because I am not doing it every night like I did freshman year, but it gives me more time to focus on school work and not get too behind. I am babysitting for Janae on Tuesdays and will be until March 9th. I will be moving in with her, her husband, and two daughters to be A-Live-In-Nanny until August after Spring Break. I am excited and I hope it will be a learning experience. Hope January is going well for all of you, and I hope to keep up on my Calendar :) I've decided since I will be traveling a lot, that this Calendar doesn't have to be just an Idaho Calendar, but whatever I come across. I hope I can accomplish this. Wish me luck and I hope to blog later.

Heaven was needing an Angel

I love the way you smile at me
I love the way you'll always be
I love it when we work all day
& come to a conclusion that we'll be okay

I love it when at night you pray
That miracles will surround our coming day
I love it when you think of others
& say "They're no different then us" they all have mothers

I've learned a few things here and there
Like how to love, forgive and share
When I surround myself with you
Being kind is all I want to do

I miss your voice when you're not around
Sometimes I call your phone, only to hear your sound.
It's amazing just to be around
Let alone being able to all year 'round :)

Let's have an awesome new year
Spread the laughter, no fear
I'm missing you already, come home soon
I'll keep playing that silly tune :)

Cali for Christmas

I am so excited! I am pretty sure I am going to California for Christmas! It will be the best gift ever! Warm and so wonderful! I will have many pictures I am sure. I went over Spring Break but this will be so different. Leaving the cold behind for the warm and beautiful beach of San Diego! I want to go to Point Loma again, right by the beach where I performed for Choir Tour! It's fabulous! What are you guys doing for Christmas? I just can't do tradition right now. Never really even had a tradition anyway! There is so much snow! I hate the cold!

Damn

Damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do
There is so much going on.
I don't know what to do.

My father once said
Run and find that inner strength
Damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do
Before you.

Open your heart and see that pain
Dream of a world without hate
Damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do,
Before you.

& even when the darkest shadow over powers
& even when you heart has shattered.
Fly again
& Damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do
& damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do.
Oh, before you.

Falling apart ain't so hard to do.
But at least you'll learn something to.
& damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do.
Before you.

New Inspiration: To add to the other unfinished projects.

If you know. I write. All the time. Some I post, some I publish, and some are still inside my head yet to come. Right now I am working on ALISON. I was working on RUNNING STILL, but got lost in this new inspiration, ALISON. It's good. I'll post more about it later.

I've been acting this one out for years :)
