So Stinkin Cute

Aren't they?!?

We went to the temple on Sunday. Corey and Jessica soon became my models once again!
BTW I totally picked out Corey's outfit doesn't he look like a total studmuffin?

This is what I call "The Human Heart"









Apprently I Was Wrong... LIKE ALWAYS

Someone did come knocking down my door on Valentines Day, and it definately was not who I expected. Not literally but, hypothetically speaking he tour down all the walls of doubt, fear, frusteration, anger, sadness, heartache, and hopelessness. His name is E.Z. Cleghorn and he is simply put, amazing! You know when you meet someone and you just KNOW they are going to change your life forever? YA that's how I feel everytime I talk to E.Z. he makes me remember things that are worth remembering and makes me forget things that need to be forgotten, AND makes me dream of things worth dreaming about. It is kind of frightening just how incredibly well he knows me, sometimes I think he knows me better than I know myself. He has more love for others in one fingernail than most people have in their entire body and he makes it a point to express to everyone how much he truly cares about them, especially me. He once told me even if we were to completely stop talking he is so grateful just to have met me because I have given him hope again. When I need him to be there and just listen he is always there and when I need advice he ALWAYS knows what to say to make things even just an incling better... and his voice, oh that voice. When he sings I swear the mountains move and the earth quakes he really is that powerful. I truly have never met a more caring and genuine person in my entire life he pushes me to be a better person and for that I have to thank him. He lives everyday to the fullest and never seems to take things for granted. I only hope one day to be just as incredible as him. I love him with all of my heart, and I know without a doubt in my mind he will be a HUGE part of my life forever.

BLAH

I'm sitting here on the computer High Tech Center 2 at school since i have a 3 hour break between classes, and i'm suppose to be revising my essay that is only partially true the rest is just a load of bull crap i made up but sounds really awesome haha. I'm suffering from what is called brainfartoritis and cannot concentrate so i decided to blog instead and maybe it will get my creative juices flowing.

I feel like the people most important to me are drifting away and I know that it's all apart of life and it's going to happen eventually, but I just wish things weren't happening now. As great as everything is going with my photography and school, I'm not able to connect on a level with my friends that I used to. We are all at completely different stages of our lives and I feel VERY alone. This weekend totally isn't going to help either.

I am completely dreading this weekend everyone I know has plans with a special someone, I on the other hand have super duper awesome plans to study ALL weekend long. It's going to be great! I hate being the only single person in my group of friends i feel like such an outcast sometimes, and days like valentines day seem to only validate the fact that i'm an outcast more. Normally Valentine's Day to me is like any other day but this year it;s different and I wish I could say I didn't care but then I would be lying to myself because deep down I care a lot, a WHOLE lot; and I hate myself for it. It's not that i'm jealous i'm happy for everyone and I wouldn't want to make my friends feel bad which is why when situations like this arise I feel I have to exclude myself from them and just concentrate on me. Hence the studying all weekend long. I don't think I've ever dreaded a weekend more in my entire life which might be a little dramatic to say, but hey it's not like anyone is breaking down my door to give me flowers, candy, love letter, song ETC ETC so until that happens I am going to sulk and concentrate on school until this weekend is over and all the lovely dovey stories my friends tell me are through.

LIFE JUST BLOWS SOMETIMES!

Word has spread like wild fire!

Apprently word has gotten around that I do band photography because bands have been contacting me right and left. I'm def. not going to complain I need all the experience I can get... I did this band called We Are They pictures today and I have to say it was quite the experience. I got some pretty good shots, and they seemed to be really happy about it so overall I would call it a success. I did it for free because they are going to promote my photography and have already lined me up with three other bands who need photos done. I feel like I'm really accomplishing something... all I need now is a website and I'm set HAHA. I am going to another local show tomorrow it's at the Tempe Marketplace I was asked to do some live shots of a local band called the Amorous I've actually been listening to them for about 2 years now. I really can't believe some of my favorite bands are actually contacting me to take there photos I truly feel honored, It's one of those indescribeable feelings!

Best Show of my ENTIRE life

I am so happy I literally could cry right now!

Tonight is going down in history! I was messaged on myspace by Austin Gibbs a local artist to come take pictures of the show tonight I'm not sure how he heard about my photography but i'm really glad he did...come to find out not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 of my favorite bands were playing in downtown Phoenix and I was going to be taking pictures for the show!!!! It was INCREDIBLE! The Maine(FAVORITE LOCAL), Brighten (FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME!), This Century, We Shot The Moon, and Austin Gibbs all played an acoustic show at the modified arts tonight! 12 bucks to get in and see some of my favorite bands of all time who i probably will never get to see for that cheap or be that closely in contact with them ever again. I had goose bumps as the tiny room all sang along to their beautiful music. It was simply just amazing I still cannot believe all of this actually happend.

If you haven't heard of these band I STRONGLY encourage you to look them up!

Just a few of the MANY photos taken...
