I really love this photo of our new kitty Billy because it captures a lot of her personality. She is incredibly feisty and playful, and you can see that pretty clearly in this photo!

Today's outfit was inspired by the oh-so-inspiring preppy style of Gossip Girl. One of the main reasons why I watch the show is to see all the lovely fashion. Today I decided to imitate their school-girl look with my purple tie and black headband! It's such a simple and easy way to get the Gossip Girl look.

Ok, ok, my heart didn't turn out perfect; but the effect is awesome isn't it?!! I can't wait to practice more and master taking these type of pictures. I bet it would work even better with sparklers!

Today my sister and I decided to see a "My Fair Lady" play. I really enjoyed the beautiful singing and pretty dancing. I realized today that I am really getting into seeing plays at local theaters. It wasn't something I was really interested in before, but my sister has shown be just how fun they can be. I plan on going to many more plays now :)

Purse: Borrowed from my mom

Where:
Work + Photography class

Comments:
After 2+ years of working on my blog and buying a semi-profesional camera, I thought the logical next step would be to take a Photography course. So I signed up and have been taking classes for 3 weeks now. I never thought I would enjoy learning about Photography, but I'm actually having lots of fun!

May 09 (6)

Even though I have been taking courses for three weeks now, I have been feeling dissapointed that my photos look pretty much the same (well, my outfit photos are taken with my regular digital camera lately, so those don't count). I started doubting if the classes I am taking are really any good, because I don't seem to apply what I learn when I'm taking pictures.

And you know what I realized? I just need to practice! It sounds so simple really, but it was a huge realization for me. Even though I pay lots of attention in class and take good notes, I will never take better pictures if I don't put time aside to practice what I've learned. I need to make an effort if I want to see results. So, from now on I'm going to make sure I practice, practice, practice!
