Well guys, it’s here. The day has finally come, it’s my last blogpost for my 52 week photo project. It’s such a weird feeling thinking about how this time last year, I was merely thinking about attempting a project, and before I knew it, the ball was rolling. Then, I blinked again, and it’s over. BUT! Let’s not make this a sad post. It’s actually a happy post for celebrating! Today’s my brother’s birthday! I told him I wanted to do a portrait of him for this week but he’s not one to like being photographed. I had to think outside the box with him haha. Right now, he has a crazy beard growing and says he isn’t going to cut it until May. My mom and grandma aren’t too happy about that (lol) but it’s funny to me. So, I decided to do something creative involving his beard, like turning it into a Christmas tree! I hung the lights over his ears and bobby pinned them to stay. Then, we hung ornaments from the string of lights and I added some fake snow flakes for that more Christmasy effect. It’s a little difficult to see the snow but that’s okay, I know it’s there 🙂 haha. Anyway, I just wanted to do something fun and different, per usual, and I’m super happy my brother was willing to help. If you know him, be sure to tell him happy birthday! 🙂 Thanks for checking out my blog & let me know what you think!

CHRISTMAS IS 6 DAYS AWAY! I REPEAT 6 DAYS! I hope everyone is ready for Santa because he’s gonna be here real soon. Also, be sure to leave him his cookies & milk. And of course a carrot for the reindeer because you can’t forget them! But really, in case you haven’t noticed how close Christmas is, consider this your warning. Get your shopping done before.. nah, actually it’s already pretty late (YA PROCRASTINATORS!) 🙂 Merry Christmas, y’all!

Hey guys, only two more posts until this whole thing is over! How do y’all feel about that? Let’s focus on this week first though. Today is my nephew’s birthday! He’s 9 now but still a cute little nugget. I wanted to feature him because it’s been all year and he hasn’t made his debut haha. I figured his birthday was a great time to do it. I said in my last post that I wanted to try and keep these next few sort of Christmas related because tis the season right? I didn’t want it too birthday themed or to be just a classic portrait. I always like to put a little spin on things so I decided to throw in some blue string lights to illuminate him. It took a few tries to get it right and this image was as close to perfect as I could get. It was almost exactly what I imagined when I started planning for this week. So, I hope you enjoy and prepare yourselves for these next few weeks!

Hey guys! For this week’s photo, I had something planned but before I knew it, I had lost track of time. I have a few conceptual photos planned out for next year though so it’s okay. But that’s another story! So anyway, after that happened I was lost at what to do. Luckily, my best friend Maria was kind enough to help me brainstorm. She came up with the idea of doing something Christmas themed. From there, I decided that the next three out of four photos will be Christmas themed. I mean, it only makes sense right!? Anyway, enjoy and get excited for Christmas! I already know at least half of you have been ready and listening to Christmas music since November 1st, don’t lie. 🙂

Hello again! So, I really feel weird posting on Friday about an event that happened during the week. It feels like I’m late to the game or something. I mean, Thanksgiving was only yesterday so it’s not so bad. It’s one of my favorite holidays because love all the food (don’t lie, you get excited about the food too) and being with family. There’s always so much happening in everyday life and it’s nice to kinda slow down and think about the things you’re thankful for. You can do this any and every day of course! It’s just, when there’s a holiday specifically for it, how could you NOT think about these things. Now, I could probably make a list of a hundred things that I’m thankful for, but I don’t want to bore you and have you read it all. Instead, I’ll sum it up and say that I’m thankful for my family, all my friends, Lyle, my pups, my health, and the life I have been given. Here are a few snapshots I got of my favorite memories of Thanksgiving Day. I hope you enjoy! 🙂

Hey guys! I really cannot get over how close to the end of the year we are! I only have 5 more posts until it’s done. It’s such a weird feeling haha. Anyway, let’s focus on this week! Monday, I went to Lost Maples in Vanderpool, Texas with Lyle. It was quite a drive but so, so pretty! I am absolutely in love with the Texas Hill Country. I’m constantly wanting to be out there wandering and exploring. Actually, I’m wanting to explore everywhere. Texas is just a start ;). So, my photo for the week is the collection of instant photos I took while walking the trails (also included close ups of each). I wish I had taken more and had actually planned to take more but I was too enamored with the beauty that surrounded me. I do have an entire blog post of photos & a video coming up from our combined trips to Lost Maples and Enchanted Rock last month so be on the lookout for that soon! I hope you enjoy! 🙂

Yep. You read that title right. As much as I love my baby monkey, I don’t think any of us could handle four of her! But, I thought it would be interesting to see what four of her would look like. I read about this little trick online one day (forgot which website, oops!) and thought I would try it out. It took a few tries to get it just right but we finally got a winner! She’s so fun when she’s willing to help and doesn’t get tired of me telling her “Wait Morgy, one more picture!” Anyway, this photo was taken on my iPhone 5 using only the panoramic feature! It was not photoshopped! As always, let me know what you think. Just a heads up, there are only 6 WEEKS left in the year for my project! SIX?! I can not believe it. Anyway, I have the last six planned out and hopefully they go as planned. But until next time, enjoy!

Hi guys! So, the past few weeks I’ve had photos planned and they needed to be executed a certain way and needed time and preparation, and I just worked really hard to make them come together properly. To be honest, I wanted to shoot something quick and simple this week. Plus, with the lazy, gloomy weather it was hard to want to do anything besides lay in bed with hot chocolate. So, I decided to just head outside and see what I could find. The wind was blowing pretty nicely so of course our flags were waving around. I wanted to work on framing my photo nicely so I spent a good while outside in an uncomfortable position to get this photo haha. Anyway, it’s exactly what I wanted: something really simple but something I enjoyed. Also, who doesn’t love Texas and our bi-polar weather?

Hey guys! So, I’m super super excited about this post. A few weeks ago, I was scrolling through Netflix and I found the remake of Carrie. The original is one of my favorite classic horror films and I always love to give remakes a chance. It didn’t let me down! In my opinion, it was pretty good. Of course there were minor yet obvious changes to little details, considering it was taking place a little more recently (ie, they recorded the scene when Carrie discovers she’s bleeding on a phone and uploaded it to the internet).

ANYWAY! I was strangely inspired to use this movie for my Halloween post and here we are! Paula (thankfully) agreed to be my model, even after I told her about pouring blood all over her. We went on a trip to Goodwill and I was so happy that I found the perfect gown! I don’t think you fully understand my excitement, y’all. Anyway, instead of going into detail explaining how the shoot went, just check out the behind the scenes video I made! Also, as always, let me know what you think! 😀 Thanks guys and be sure to check back next week! 😀

Hey y’all! This week, I wanted to get into the Halloween spirit just a little and prep you guys for next week. My aunt bought Sadie a cute little Halloween tutu/costume last year when we got her and it finally fits her! It was a little snug on Sierra but I didn’t want to leave her out of the photo shoot fun! Although, it doesn’t look like either of them enjoyed being in this ridiculous thing while I snapped photos upon photos of them. If you know me, then you know I’m obsessed with my dogs. So, I may be a little biased when I say they’re the cutest pups ever! :p Until next week, I hope you enjoy! And seriously, get excited for next week because I have something super awesome planned. I don’t normally hype up my upcoming post but I’m just so excited I cant help it.
