On a Photography Kick

So, I’ve been on a photography kick lately. I don’t have fancy equipment, but my little point-and-shoot-plus-Photoshop-magic and my iPhone-plus-Best-Camera-app have been keeping me quite amused lately.
Here are some fun iPhone photos:




Wedding Day!

Hooray! Ryan and I got married!!! I know it was over a month ago, but now we have our professional photos (yay!) and you get to see them! Here are some highlights, all taken by Beth’s Photography, who also did our videography:

Lookit my pretty girls!

Meanwhile, the gentlemen discuss deep and serious topics.

Someone actually got Ryan and the ring bearers to sit still long enough to snap a photo!

Awwwww.

Part of my “bridal session”.

This cake was definitely not a lie.

The ring bearers were supposed to give their ring pillows to the Maid of Honor (my beautiful sister) and one of the Best Men (Ryan’s friend Chris). Instead, the boys gave both pillows to Ryan, and because it was so unbelievably cute everyone got a good laugh.

Here I am!

Havin’ a weddin’.

Eeeewwww cooties.

HEY GUYZ WE IZ MARRIEEEEEEED!!!!!1!
I posted additional photos on a Facebook album that I am just maybe, just maaaaybe, willing to share with you.
Hope you enjoyed these as much as we enjoyed being in them!
Our First Christmas Tree

Jessica helped me put up our Christmas tree tonight! And since I have a camera and Photoshop, here are pictures of the process:

Jessica helped me fluff out the “branches”. This is the tree my family used while I was growing up; Mom gave it to me this year since Ryan and I need one for our house.

I have built up just enough ornaments over the years (I had a tiny tree before) to make it worth decorating.

And voilĂ ! We has teh tree!
Happy Christmas, everyone.
A thrifty Halloween, and upcoming sewing projects

I haven’t done a ton of sewing, in part because I’m about to sit down and make a whole bunch of Christmas gifts. As a teaser, though, the image above is of a section of a prototype for something I’m pretty pleased with. Expect a tutorial after it’s all finished.

Honeymoon in Chicago, Part 3

The final day of our honeymoon dawned gray and foggy, and it misted rain the entire day. Chicago is just as pretty when it’s raining as it is when it’s sunny, so I couldn’t complain.
