iheartfaces photo challenge: beautiful eyes

When a friend of mine showed me this challenge, I had to do it.

I take so many pictures of people's eyes. But for some reason, none of those pictures popped into my head. It was this one.

This is one of the flower girls from one of the weddings I shot in June. She is one of the prettiest little people I have ever met. :)

Moving into the livingroom...

Last night, I came home from my internship to find Amy's bed in the living room.

I thought this was kind of odd...

Then I saw her room. It turns out she is painting it. So she moved into the living room.

So last night, I snuck out and got a few pictures of her in her new living space. :)

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 4

~*Day 4: A picture of your typical night*~

I became nervous when I saw this one. Because a typical night, is not really a typical night for me.

Some nights consist of school.

Some nights I am up editing photos.

Some nights I am in Maryland, breathing fresh mountain air.

Some nights I want to punch a hole through the wall.

Some nights I become so happy, I can't sleep.

There are a few consistent things that happen each night, so I'm going to try and show you those things.

First off, almost everything I do at night involves my computer(s).

I'm a Facebook junkie, so I'm always on there.

Sometimes I watch a movie on netflix. Right now, like I said in the previous post, I'm watching 24.

I usually edit my photos while watching netflix, or listening to music.

Photoshop CS5 is completely amazing. And I absolutely love it. That takes up a lot of my time at night.

Typically, at some point during the night, I get a facebook message saying "Do you want to skype?"

Of course, I say yes. :)

And here is a picture from one of my skype calls with a new friend of mine, Chris. 

 Or Chriscross, as I like to call him.

While we skype, I am either cleaning, or facebook chatting with some other people.

Depending on the day, I can have up to 7-8 chats going on while I am skyping. It's awesome.

Music is vital to living. So my iTunes list is always playing.

Sometimes, I will end up having some sort of deep conversation, usually about God, with someone.

It could be the result of being tired. But I thoroughly enjoy them all.

Then I say goodnight to the world, close my laptop, power off my mac monitors, shut out the light and attempt to fall asleep. And yes, sometimes that doesn't happen, and I just lay there staring at the clouds.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 3

--*A picture of the cast from your favorite show*--

I absolutely love 24.

I know I'm a bit behind on that since it's no longer on television, but I watch all the episodes on netflix.

So if you have netflix, and you haven't seen it, I highly recommend watching at least the first season.

It is named 24 because of the way the episodes are set up.

In each season there are 24 episodes each about an hour long, representing the 24 hours in a day.

They show how the events happen in real time, and all coordinate with each other.

Each season is a huge mystery to solve terroristic threats and revolves around a CTU agent, Jack Bauer.

I'm not going to say anymore.

Go watch it.

You won't regret it.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 2

I told you I would forget..and look at that, I did.

So on to day two, which really should be day 3.

--*A picture of you and the friend you have been closest with the longest*--

This one wasn't too hard.

But choosing a picture was. So I've decided to show you a few pictures from a couple of weeks ago when the friend I've been closest to the longest came to spend the day with me.

Ashley Marie. One of my best friends, and the girl I've been closest too, the longest time.

And as a shout out to her, she got her drivers license this week!!! Yay Ash!

We've had so many good times together.

We often recall some of our experiences we've had and laugh about them over and over again.

And like the rest of the population of 18 year old females out there, we both are crazy, love music, and laugh A LOT.

But who says that's a bad thing?

So here's to my amazing friend. Thank you for always being there for me. I love you!

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 1

Everyone on facebook has been doing it.

And you know, since I am a photographer, I should be doing it too.

It's the 30 day photo challenge - and here's how it works:

Each day for 30 days, I will (try to) post one picture for each instruction of the day.

And well, day one is - A picture of yourself with ten facts

So here I go.

Picture taken by RLK Photography

Ten facts about myself is a tough thing to come up with. I wanted to make it 10 things that most people don't know. So here's my attempt:

1. I just turned 18, and I've just finished my 4th semester of college.

2. I absolutely hate reading.

3. Something I love doing the most is editing my photographs.

4. I own two computers. My windows laptop, and my mac.

5. No, I don't have texting.

6. Pennsylvania sucks. I am moving asap to MD or WV.

7. Yes, I've had brain surgery twice.

8. I can talk your ear off if you let me.

9. I have my own kayak. (and car)

10. Pretty much everything I own, I've bought myself. And I am not in debt to anyone. That's especially true for the big things I have as well.

So that's me in a nutshell. Want to know more? Just ask! Like I said in #8, if you let me, I can talk your ear off. All that is required is your attention.

I will TRY my best to post #2 tomorrow.

Portrait Assignment: Mood {Amy}

So this week for my portrait photography class, my assignment was to shoot a "mood" portrait, other than "happiness." So here are some of the results I came up with.

I think this one is my favorite.

And just so you know, she can smile too. :)
