Baby Kaydence

A while back, I had posted two pictures of my friend Ashley, who was expecting at the time. She came and visited me today, and we spent a couple hours in the studio with her now almost three-month-old Kaydence! Such a sweetheart, my first go at studio baby photography, and a very easy girl to work with!







p.s. Ash - Kaydence is so lucky to have a mom like you. I am so proud of you!

Catching Up

I know, I know, it's been a while since I last posted. Now that the severe cold thing that I had has pretty much subsided, and after a last-minute trip home for my Aunt Mardella's funeral, I'm back in Chicago and ready to get back to my life. I know for a fact that I will not have my assignments that are due tomorrow even close to finished, and my teachers are aware of that. It's an overwhelming feeling, to be behind when more and more assignments are filling up the planner. But tonight, Thursday, and Friday will hopefully be very productive for me.

Oh, and one more thing, TAXES! I'm actually excited, I'm going to H&R Block on Thursday to have them help me with my taxes this year, since I'm not really sure how to handle the photography profit (the very small amount of it) vs. the purchases (camera, 2 new lenses, lights, etc.) that can be considered business expenses. Once I have my taxes complete, I can file my FAFSA, and once that's done, I can apply for a couple scholarships that would shave a nice sum off my tuition bill for next year.

No! Don't cut the dollar! I need that dollar for books!

Hope eveyone's staying healthy, drink that orange juice!

My Current Means of Survival

And hence the reason I haven't blogged lately...

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

I had my roommate Hayley take a picture of me before I went outside today to take pictures for an assignment. I had such a busy weekend, but I wish I would have done this assignment sooner so it wouldn't have been quite this cold.


So that's a long-sleeve T, two hooded sweatshirts, tights, leggings, jeans, two scarves, a bandanna covered by a hat, mittens, two pairs of socks and my shoes, and my roommate Hayley's coat. She is tall so it was pretty long on me, but it kept me warm! I can't believe how silly I looked. I'm having a pretty good laugh at myself, and I hope you are too. All I can say is that I had better become a better photographer because of this...
