Welcome to my blog! I started this blog as a place to document my journey as a photographer. It's evolved over the last couple of years to include some random musings and a glimpse of what's going with me. If you have any feedback, comments or thoughts, please leave them!

Camping!!!

Last month Jake and I went camping for the first time since we've been married! I couldn't believe we hadn't gone sooner as we both LOVE to camp. We went to Ohanapecosh Campground at Mt. Rainier for 3 nights. If they had shower facilities I would have stayed a week! Unfortunately 3 nights without a shower is my limit. ;) On our last night some AWESOME friends joined us to hang out. Here are a few images I snapped, enjoy!

My wonderful husband...

Making a DELICIOUS potato, onion, jalapeno breakfast scramble. It was sooooooo good. :)

We got this tent from Jake's parents... They used it when their boys were kids. When we were folding it up, we discovered a date on the bottom of the tent. 12.1.75. Or something close to that. I know it was December and before 1977 when Jake was born. ;) The thing is, it's still in great condition! I bet we'll be using it for years. Plus it's my favorite color. :D

These are our rad friends, Chris & Brooke who came to keep us company. And of course, play with fire. We had a roaring campfire the night they were there. Aren't these two just adorable?!

They're a little nuts too. They fit right in!
I almost forgot the rest of my favorite pictures!! The night before C+B arrived I played around some with high ISOs and long shutterspeeds (for my photog peeps ;)) and got the following shot (processed two ways):

Here's one of us together (thanks Brooke for grabbing it!).

The same night I was shooting stars, I grabbed this of our picnic table. I love the way the light from the lantern came out.

And on our last morning there I looked out from our picnic table and saw the sunlight streaming through the trees and could not resist grabbing my camera. What a sight to wake up to. :)

Next year we're planning a minimum of 3 camping trips. One of them will be for my *gasp* 30th birthday. I can't wait!!!
