Traveling is such a magical thing that I hold up on a pedestal.  For me, creating an opportunity for myself to see something new and amazing is how it feels for someone who is addicted to the rush of skydiving, high-altitude climbing, base jumping, and so on.  It is a rush for me to be driving in a car across a country,  see a new country that I've never seen from the window of an airplane as we land, see a new mountain range I've never seen before, a new ocean, new architecture, old architecture, a different culture.  I crave this.  My friends and family always ask me, seemingly worried, when I'm going to settle down. Well this is how I enjoy life, I love sharing it with others, and I hope that I never stop being curious of what else I could be out there doing.  Anyhow, the point of this post is because I have been planning a trip for the last few months to go to the UK, Scandinavian countries, and a few extras along the way this summer.  It's my last big trip while I'm living in Germany.  I have been SO excited about it and wanted to share the map with my friends and family. Hope you enjoy it.

Snoowww Dayyy

A couple of days ago, I woke up and Germany looked like this!  I can't believe this is the first time all winter that the snow has stuck.  Needless to say, it was magical and pretty, so I couldn't resist the urge to take a little walk into Boblingen (the town I live in) and get some photos.  I used my macro lens attachment to shoot these photos.  I love it so much because it gives the photograph such a nice film effect and amazing shallow depth of field.

Sarah Lester Photos

Sarah Lester is so much fun to shoot because she has such a natural beauty.  She barely has any make up on and did this shoot after getting off of work. She threw on this dress, put on a little bit of makeup and in ten minutes we were outside shooting.  How many people can do that and look this good?!  Go Sarah. Hope you enjoy the photos! :)

Jess and Lola

Jess and her daugher Lola!  Thanks for letting me take some photos of you pretty girls.

Portraits of Camryn

My niece, Camryn, is one of the many beautiful little girls in our family.  I love her eyes and eyelashes so much.  Here are some portraits of her. 

Family photos during Christmas holiday

I went back to North Carolina to visit my family for christmas and was so happy to get some photos of my family!  These specifically are my niece Camryn and her mom (my sister) Cathy.  They are both so beautiful, it isn't hard to photograph them! :)
