2011 Memories

1.  Me: My most proud accomplishment | Graduating from college. (December)

2.  I Love You | My sweet pup, Abby.  She puts a smile on my face each and every day.  (BTW she is giving kisses to baby.)

3.  Still Laughing | Dad making silly faces on our way to Branson.  This makes me laugh every time I see it.  (August)

4.  Winter Wonderland | Abby enjoying the winter snow.  (January)

5.  Birthday | I turned 22 in 2011.  (February)

6.  Friends | The crazy people I love.  At Kenzie's wedding in May.

7.  I Was Inspired | I created my own 'bulletin board'.  I have posted comments I've gotten on this blog, quotes, and a few things that just make me happy.  I post things that keep my inspired to keep going with my photography and reminders on how I should live life.

8.  Spring Fever | This is probably one of my favorite photos I've taken this year.  I can't put my finger on it, but it just seems peaceful and simple and beautiful.

9.  Travel/ Vacation | In June I went to visit my best friend (and old neighbor) in Virginia.  We also spent a day running around DC.  In August, my family took a trip to Branson to visit some family friends.  It was such a nice trip to get away and relax a little bit.  In November, my friend Jody and I went to Madison to visit our other friend Mallory.  While we were there we took a day trip to Chicago. It was the first time I'd ever been and it was so much fun!  That girls trip was definitely needed!

10.  Summer Days | It was a hot summer.  I don't know if this would sum up my summer in one photo, but I like it all the same.  Plus it seems summery.

11.  A Day In My Life | I participated in a 12of12 project.  You take 12 photos that document your day on the 12th day of each month.  This was my favorite photo project of the year by far.  I love the outcome and seeing each month side by side.  You can see all of them here.
12.  All Smiles | This picture makes me laugh every time I see it.  Dad was being funny when picking out pumpkins.  I think he picked a winner!

13.  Autumn Harvest | This just screams fall to me.  Pumpkins.  Boots.  Field.  Scarf.  Need I say more?

14.  Family /Home | I love my family more than anything. (January)

15.  Celebrate | Celebrating a huge milestone.  Story.

16.  Let's Do It Again | I really enjoyed my 52 week portrait project and I intend to continue it for many years to come!

17.  I Miss You | My family lost 2 wonderful men this year.  My Uncle Bobby, and my Grandpa Hower.  Story.  Story.

18.  Beautiful | I just think this is a beautiful photo.

19.  Dress Up | At the Delta Sigma Pi formal (November)


20.  Macro

21.  Holidays | Christmas Tree, Ornaments, Reflection of twinkle lights....

22.  My Favorite | I just really love this photo.  I took it when my family went to the pumpkin patch in October.  It was such a fun and new experience.  It was a good day and it started a new tradition that I plan to keep for years to come.

23.  Don't Ever Change | I hope that no matter what life throws me, I will forever have a positive outlook on life.

24.  Just Because | I don't know why, but I love everything about this photo.

25.  Hopes and Dreams | This year was very difficult for our family.  Actually, the last 19 months have been very difficult.  I just hope that 2012 is a little nicer on our family.  We could really use a lot more laughter.  (Sorry to keep using the pumpkin patch photos, but there are some of my absolute favorite from this year!  Dad was acting so goofy and making funny faces at me.)

Virginia 2011 | Day 4

The last full day I was in Virginia, Brandi and I ventured to Washington DC.  The last time I was here was before I moved and it was a very short trip.  We took a few pictures for my cousin and his 'Flat Stanley'.  

*Note: I apologize in advance for the enormous amount of pictures :)

On the metro headed to DC!

While walking to the Washington Monument we found this awesome tree and stopped for a photo shoot!

Jefferson Memorial

President helicopters flying over the Jefferson Memorial!

On our way from the Jefferson Memorial to the Capital we saw the Holocaust Museum.  I went through this in my middle school years and it was amazing.  So real.  If you are interested in World War II and/or the Holocaust this is a must see.

The building dad used to work in.

The Library of Congress.  This was the first time I'd ever been in this building and it was beautiful!  Definitely go see it if you go to DC.  (When I came home mom was jealous that she didn't get to see it.)

The Capital.  It is so beautiful!
