Take a Break...Camps done!
In this heat, you have to have a rest! i took this today...but i love it!
CAMP MEMORIES...
we brought mum and Roxy back home from camp, and i have fond memories of those camp years, so much preparation so much love and care! i always loved the testimony meetings, it was like a safe haven for us all being together as YW sharing experiences and growing in the Gospel!
FRIENDS 'R' US...
I was blessed to meet all sorts of new people on camp the list is endless...
Sarah Smith aka Ducker
Charlene Kendall
Ashley Zirman
John Williams
Naomi Makins aka Simcock
Becky Bray aka ONeil
thats JUST to name a few...i loved being there even if flies where in our tent and none of us didnt look too glamourous! but it didnt matter we cared about each other, i felt the spirit when i visited the site. it truely is a time when you can come together. i really miss that Camp atmosphere...
I need SLEEP...
But all in all the most rewarding thing when i got back the thing i missed most coming off camp MY BED! id do so much my head pounded! so thanks roxy for posing for me :D
i hope everyone had a good experience of camp as i did....sure i was sick 2 years in a row, sure i got home sick, sure i clung to dad the first year...but by the end i was begging to come back.

Think about it...
i love close up photos from weddings, i think most of the time people forget to take the detail...
The Beading...
The intricate beading can symbollize each trial and problem we have will add to our beauty over a long period of time
The Knot...
To signify our commitment, faithfulness
The Hand...
Support and comfort from your companion
The Ring...
Crisp and Clear on the finger, to shine as an example of promise and love
The White...
To show virtue and cleanliness and new begginings
i guess you could interpret it your own way! but thats why i like the photo!

Being Comfortable...
With Yourself...
Tammie my good friend, she doesnt need makeup in her photos, i took them and i didnt need to touch up or anything, i thought about how people need to forget about stereotypical beauty, Tammie is a beautiful person in and out, im glad she is my friend...
With your Talents...
So i pondered myself, i sometimes think gosh im a bad photographer! but sometimes i just have bad days and plus i have a bad foot, but all in all im comfortable with my talents and my ability in taking photos, but its been a journey ill tell you!
With saying how you feel...
too many people bottle up how they truly feel ok we are not an open book, but we should at least let someone turn the pages! we shouldnt be afraid of social circles or speaking to new people...
hope this is good insight for you all...

"if ye are prepared Ye shall not fear!"...
BE PREPARED...
My First wedding shoot i had no idea what i was doing but i was happy to be there and so i decided id research and do everything i could to make it all nice. in this picture you will see a note book, invitations orders of service wedding photos, and a list of events/photos to take, i have to always prepare and research what im doing i feel to be my best.
A LIST OF TIPS...
Such as...
-taking photos when the bride is getting ready on her request
-generally ask the couple what they want, style etc ie CLASSIC/TRADITIONAL/CANDID
-Know the number of bridesmaids, colour schemes and any special guests
-know the venue, the people the place and try to always get there early and speak to ushers, best men and anyone making the day possible its good to have a coordination and organized structure to the day
-have individual shots of bridesmaids and anyone who requests.
-most of all be alert and have the camera at the ready ALWAYS!
CARRY ON...
i have loads more but i wanted to just cover a few. The thing i thought was ill have to get a person i REALLY trust to take MY photos, as i dont want them messed up im so bad arnt i? hehe but i do know i love taking photos (if you havnt already guessed) MAY I CONTINUE...

Sunny Scotland...
How i love weddings, but how i loved doing my first wedding TAKING PHOTOS! im back tracking again to june 1-3 - i was asked by Liann Waite to take photos for her and her being brave in hiring me i gladly accepted, but i tell you i was SCARED! Mark was there to support me as he always does! markie is a great friend and assistant to me, i gave him a list and he was jsut so helpful he helped me with my bags and just was super organized, we went to scotland - its so worth going to guys! anyway i travelled up with the Beckwiths who supplied us with loads of mint sweets (much appreciated) :D the sugar was just what i needed, it ended up being so beautiful and sunny for the day and i couldnt of asked for any better photos...all the people ive shown are so impressed by them, i just am so blessed to have a talent for photography. i can actually share with anyone and everyone!!! this day was a decider for me if i would do this FOR REAL and go study it...and as i loved doing it...IM GOING AHEAD!
My plans for photography...
I saw some part time courses and saw the "building a portfolio" course so im going for that first, then i will follow with a foundation degree and the third year turning it into a BA and i will attend BYU-I (my dream) but for a year only ill keep fingers crossed! maybe it wont happen but i have to have dreams...anyway have a look at some of my examples...
Photos from the day...
