stephanie fay

meet stephanie fay. not only is she gorgeous, but shes extremely talented at photography. i was reading j*'s blog when i found the link to stephanie fay's. i clicked on it and almost immediately fell in love with her style of photography. check out these amazing pictures of hers:

from what ive gathered she specializes in weddings but also does pregnancy photos, baby photos and just any time photos. whatever the case is, they're all unique and pretty cool!

from this couple's photo series, this one wasnt my favorite. however, i wanted to show to you the setting of the picture. that blue dumpster. thats what i love about her pictures. she has photo shoots in some of the oddest, most strangest places ever!

i love the boldness of that blue wall and the contrast of the more modern color with the old window :)

go check out stephanie fay on her blog!

i have no idea who christan and allegra are but they're photography inspires me. if i ever moved forward in the photography world, this is the type of pictures i would aim to take. theyre beauitful.

i also love how they dont always have the main focus of the photo as the centre.

ill be sure to keep that in mind next time i take pictures.

i also love how this couple manages to capture other couple's love, so clearly on film.

i am, to say the least, jealous of their skills!

yesterday afternoon/evening was "work on grad powerpoint and memory speech" night. i arrived at rox's house around 4ish and we set right to work. by ll pm that night, my sides were aching from laughing, my head spinning in search of memories, and my eyes begging to go to sleep. susanna joined us around 7 and the three of us started our memory speech. the one thing im glad about with this speech is there are three of us. so instead of the boring old grad speech, we can kind of make it into somewhat of a dialouge. the guys, well they might not be too impressed with us, but hey, we gave them the chance to write it! and we are being nice... but they just did stupid things. and we just have to mention them! like steve d eating the spider cuz we told him he wouldn't dare! or steve, steve and jordan making animal sounds in mr w's math class. the poor guy was wondering what on earth he did to deserve that!!

anyways, yesterday i was thankful for the chance to spend time with my friends, making memories and remembering memories.

tonight im in for a night with dan, jess and bill. should be real great :)

ps. dont forget to check out that site!

updating

yes, its been a few days since i last posted on here but i have been extremely busy with... stuff! i worked wednesday-saturday and spent time at dan's house and at a birthday party and other places. it was a busy but full-filling weekend. only problem- those desk drawers are still littering my bedroom floor. gotta get that done!

my thankful list for:
april 10- i was thankful for the chance to get an extra shift (and get time and a half pay!) and for the chance to go to church
april 11- i was thankful for getting to work again and for the time spent with friends at a birthday party
april 12- i was thankful for thirteen wonderful months spent with D (our anniversary!!! :) :))
and today i am thankful for a day off so hopefully i can get some stuff done.

im going to skip the friday5 since its already monday and since the questions are kinda lame this week. if you wanna do them though, once again the link is http://www.friday5.org/.

and just a cool site for you all to check out. at least i think its cool. http://www.kevinandamanda.com/ she does fonts and stuff and yea, very interesting :)


yesterday i had big plans for today. in fact, i had quite the list going. ill share it with you, just for fun. and tomorrow i guess ill see how far i got on it. if i got anywhere..!

THE LIST

1. finish organizing my desk
2. clean out my car (needs it badly!)
3. go buy new contacts
4. go finish my videos at work
5. go to the mall to buy grad shoes
6. go rollerblading with M
7. be home @ 7 for group picture :) (yay! ill getta cross something off my list!)
8. go to rox's house to work on grad powerpoint and speech (only 2 weeks left!)

amy was out this weekend from BC. you know, its weird how things change. i was all excited to see her and then after work saturday i saw her for like, fifteen minutes. but then they all had to go back to the fort macleod direction so they left. and i wasnt expecting to see her anymore cuz she said she wasnt going to be at that birthday party. but then she shows up at the party and doesnt even say hi to me. she ignored me 100%. but said hi to D. who was sitting right under me. (lol for lack of chairs i had to sit on his lap, lana on derek's, and rox on brad's). so yea, that hurt. and now it made me realize that maybe we arent as close as we thought we were.

i guess i have to realize that nothing in life will stay the same for ever. everything will change as other things in our lives take place and change. but it sucks!

well, thats all for now. have a great week everyone!!

post two: friday5

so yes, i realize i already posted today. but im extremely bored and what better to do when bored than post on your blog? again.

once again i was looking at someones blog that i found in the blog note's list and found the following. its a website that, every friday gives a list of questions for you to answer on your blog, your facebook notes, or even your online journal. i am well aware that today is saturday, not friday, but none the less i decided to do it anyways.

for those of you interested, here is the link: http://www.friday5.org/ enjoy and here goes!


april 3rd's questions

1. what is your favorite fizzy, bubbly drink? i'd have to go with sprite. or 7up. either really. i just love the fruity taste of them :)
2. what is your favorite deep-fried food? at work a few months back i made these amazing (if i do say so myself!) fish things. it was salmon cut into cubes, covered in a flour-y batter and then deep-fried! it was SO delicious :) it kinda reminded me of kibbling, from the dutch markets.
3. what is your favorite hot beverage? most definitely tea. steeped tea, actually. from tim hortons. steeped tea double-double is my usual.
4. what is your favorite really messy food? tacos! no questions asked there. and perhaps they arent messy for everyone.. maybe its just me who doesnt know how to eat them! but either way, for me, they're messy.
5. what is your favorite recipe for a blended or mixed beverage? my aunt karen always made really great punch at our family things. i have no idea what she all put in it. it was mostly gingerale, sprite, and some kind of punch.. something like that!

post two: just for laughs
