In my digital photography class at the college we were recently assigned the task of taking portraits. This seems like an easy enough assignment, but for me this is a challenge. The one area that I have struggled in photography is with portraits. The whole idea of bossing people around and telling them how to pose has been an obstacle since I am a shy person by nature. I had my first session yesterday which was actually not bad at all since I was able to take pictures of my niece & nephew. After reviewing my pictures I was able to see where I might improve which I can use when I shoot my next 3 sessions. I am hoping that through this assignment I will be able to progress as a photographer and not be timid about posing and working with people. We'll see who this turns out.
I'm kind of late with this post, but better late than never! This Easter we were able to celebrate with Adam & Jessica. We had a delicious dinner followed by an easter egg hunt for Benton & Emmie. Rather than collecting eggs, Emmie seemed more interested in finding and eating rocks. After that, Benton made some easter bunny cookies which he enjoyed lining up. He even snuck a bite out of one before placing it on the stone to be cooked. We finished off the day with a walk around the neighborhood and scoped out some empty lots where Jessica & Adam could possibly build a home. Overall, it was a wonderful Easter filled with great lessons at church and wonderful time spent with the family.
We met in 1998 and were married December 19, 2009.
I once asked E.B. what he thought about the time we have known each other and the following was conducted:
"Not one person can really understand what a girl can do to the heart of a man. Jaclyn took mine, broke it, mended it, and then threw it out to the swine and cactus. Then, she took me in like a good Samaritan, all for the benefit of my own well being. Since the beginning, I wondered if she even noticed me. I would walk by her house on a daily basis and whistle the tune of her favorite hymn as to catch her attention - it never worked. A few years later she married me out of pity.
