There were so many great images of Michelle. I swear I can't take a bad photo of her!

From tonight

Shaina's Wedding

My sister was a bridesmaid in Shaina's wedding. Shaina and her mom used to come to belly dance classes. Anyways, I did my sisters hair and makeup for the wedding and I of course went to Shaina's wedding. She didn't have an official photographer so it was a "free for all" and I got the chance to just shoot whatever I wanted. It was a neat wedding. It was all Renaissance. I love themed weddings! I wished more people did them!


Beautiful Shaina.

My dad and sis.

My sister. My mom made the outfit - all hand sewn!!

Self Portraits

This week in class we had to do self-portraits. I think that topic is fun!


I wanted to portray something Sarah Brightman-ish.

This is a shirt that I inherited from my grandmother after she passed away. It has a lot of meaning to me.

Poking fun at myself for majoring in art.

Ouch

Well .... dang it.....

I've been seeing a podiatrist and he's been giving me some injections in my feet to help with my pains. I have very flat feet so it causes my knees and ankles to hurt. Well the injections were soooooo great, I felt like I was 16 again. Apparently I did too much. I ruptured a ligament in my foot and it was herniated. Lucky me! So now I get to be in a boot for 2 weeks. Joy.
Next month I am planning on surgery. I'm getting imlants! OH baby! Yeah, ok.....not THOSE kind of implants. I'm getting implants for my feet. It will be screws that they put in my feet. I want to get this done while we are in the middle of SLOW wedding season. As soon as I get these implants I will be walking better and feeling better.....so it's the plan to get this done over Christmas.....So I'll be walking funny for about 15 weeks total but then I'll be as good as new for the wedding season. I'm really excited about getting my feet fixed.

It's been so busy lately. I don't have my computers set up yet. We moved into a house finally but unpacking is slow going due to school and photography. Doug's been working his butt off so we got the kitchen and living room unpacked. The rest is going 1 box at a time. I've been having a hard time accessing my email so please be patient on return emails! ;-) We love the new house. There's so much room. Amelia really really likes it. We are close to her new school, too.

School is almost out for the semester and I couldn't want it over any quicker! This semester has been awful. I took all the yucky classes that I've been dreading and now they are almost over......thank the good Lord!

My final project for my photo 1 class will be the 7 deadly sins. I'm working with Marcie on this project. I have 4 rolls of B&W film....I may shoot it at 1600 iso to give it a ton of grain. I haven't decided yet. I really want some of them to look really gritty.

Anyways, I posted a pic of me and Amelia at Racha Thai Restaurant. We are addicted to sweet & sour tofu and sate tofu. Oh man they make the BEST food ever!
