Vanity!



Along with family photos, we got individual shots recently. Husband is after all graduating, and I'd love to make a big celebration of his achievement. And, a nice shot to use as I apply to school and what not would be good.

Whatever photoshop technique Ashley used to get my skin clear -- yeah, let's bottle that and use it every morning.


This one just might be my new avatar. I am using it on my portfolio site.

For some reason I really like sassy photos. Perhaps it is because I look at life with a little bit of eye-rolling, be it for humor or what not.
Does it look professional and fun enough? Were the ruffles and strips a horrible choice?



This one may be in the contender for the top one as a good "she blogs about marriage" photo. Like my tagline, life is all encompassing, scattered, whatever, but I do feel like I am in control of my choices and my life. It is a good feeling. That I guess I best exhibit with a smirk.

I think I may submit this photo to the Feminist Mormon Housewives: A (feminist) Mormon Image. My marriage and religion empower me -- but I am my own woman, who definitely disagrees with a church school doing this.

Family pictures coming tomorrow. And more details on our friend and photographer, who came at an amazingly cheap price and is offering a similar deal as she builds her portfolio and reputation in San Diego.

Wow! The ruffles, those colors, just wow!

Also glad to see someone else is less than pleased with BYU shafting women yet again. I keep trying so hard to believe that all my worst feminist fears about the church are all in my head, but they keep making it so hard.

You are GORGEOUS! I love the pictures and I love your outfit choice. I do think the black and white one is a great "she blogs about marriage photo" It looks like it came out of a magazine!
