instead of doing homework i did this...

today i chose photography over homework.

and i still have 7 quizzes to take.

and multiple assignments to complete.


and i know tomorrow i will be super stressed out
and mad at myself for procrastinating.

but right now,
i don't even care.



instead of doing homework today i did what makes me happy.

i'm in love with photography.

i think it was good for me.
usually by this time during the week i turn into a crazy person.
no crazy today!






one day,

photography will be all i do.

and one day,
i'll start a photography blog
so i don't have to post on here.


i am not even close to being that great yet.
but i'm slowly finding time to practice.


today,
my beautiful friend, kristin,
asked me to take photos of her for her photography website.


we braved the cold and
i think they turned out great!
my job is really easy when i have a beautiful model like her.

here are some of my favorites.

Jalene: When I looked at the pictures you took of Lindsey's nephew I thought, "Jalene, do the world a favor and be a professional photographer!" These confirm the same thought. Beautiful!

Kristin: Love your coat. Your eyes. Your face. You.
