We are young

Tonight K and I went to a stake dance. Yes, for 12-18 year olds. It's weird to think that 2 years ago I was eligible to attend one. phaha

K's younger sister Hollie, his foreign exchange student kyky, his dad and I all went together and had a blast dancing! It was weird to be holding hands & giving little kisses because we were the only ones doing it, everyone else was so young. Feels so good to be out of that stage of life and onto greener pastures!

During the day I took Danielle Buys' bridal pictures! It was a whole family ordeal and we ran around provo taking pictures, trying to run from the rain and get some good shots. At the end the sun finally came out and I was able to shoot this beauty:

ahhh I love doing what I do.

Orange shirts

I have to remind myself each day why I like my job.

Looking back I know I will have loved this experience, but sometimes I get pushed around and feel like crap. My work is not always used and when I do something, it is not appreciated and I have to go do it again.

buuuut....

The end of the semester is slowly creeping up on us and after that I will not have my wonderful campus photog job anymore. 

When I calm myself down after all the pictures I slowly come to realize how extra-ordinary these individuals are. They sacrifice so much of their time to serve as counsel members on teams. They are so fun and smart and all-around amazing people. I have so much respect for all of them and I am so honored to get to take their pictures.

I remember the first few months of my job and how lost I felt. I didn't know anyone and I didn't know what the purpose of their service was. Now I understand all the effort and excitement they put into their positions because they truly love it and want to help others.

I had a lot of fun photographing in a studio today! The guy in-charge of the studio helped me out with camera/flash stuff and it was such a blast. He told my boss that I know what I am doing (bossing around models and talking camera talk with him). That made me feel good and I think it was good for my boss to hear. :)

Tomorrow is this HUGE photo shoot of every. single. person. from. the. department. at 2pm in the icenter! 

Pray for me!

Hope your day was fab-

Phone Photos and others...

My posts are usually centered around photos because that's how I roll. Usually I focus on just one... but today here are several. And they are mostly photos found on Kent's phone

We will start off with Kent's sandwich bum that looked like lips:*

(I spy President Hinckley)

Our photo for yesterday was from our little adventure we had in the Romney Building during a 15 minute break before class. We finally figured out how the building works.

Kent likes to take pictures of me and my crazzzy outfits/daily luggage I carry around.

valentine cookies 

True Story - I thought that was a woman's shirt until I took it off the hanger. The other one is of me picking out makeup.

More photo pictures! Mr. Buys was my HUGE helper today! I couldn't have done it *happily without him. Then we ran into our friend Katherine - I am talking to her in the left one and almost taking a picture of her in the right one :)

 

 

We will end with a nice one of Kent Roberto. I seriously think he should get some of these glasses!! Don't you!?

3 day weekend!!!

 5 minutes after we left to go to Utah for the weekend, we were pulled over for going to fast. Ha, good way to start the weekend! We eventually got there and had a wonderful time with the Buys' family. Lots of ice cream, movies and games :)

On Sunday Kent and I put together a binder of all of the letters we sent to each other April 2011 - August 2011 (while we were apart). It was SO FUN to look back on our little jokes and sweet words said to each other. We didn't really know each other well, but then did get to know each other through letter communication. I am so glad we did this. I recommend it.

I should have taken a final picture of the final book we made... but we basically filled the letters into clear sheets and put them in the flower binder that is in the corner of the last picture. It's huge because we sent each other so much paper!! It will be so fun to look back on when we are old farts. 

Our wedding stuff is coming together! We officially have a reception place for Kansas and Utah! Now we just need to call the temple... (they don't have a phone number yet). haha

ps This morning videotaped a girl in my class who was sleeping. She was pretty funny, and it looks like she kinda knew... oh well :)

Picture Updates

I take pictures for the BYU-Idaho website/brochures they need. Last week these four lucky people get to be on the cover of the "New Student Guide" for the school. (These brochures get sent out to the new students - it's like a checklist for them). 

Kent and I do a lot of homework on the BIG MACS in the Spori because of my intense graphic design class. 

We will miss these good times once we get a car :)

COTTAGE CHEESE! Kent got blue and Anna got pink for boy/girl. We like it with pears and peaches.

If you would like to see more updates of our life go here! :

Masculine

For my photography class, we have an awesome assignment due regarding "portraits". I needed to take a "masculine" pose of my sweetie, and so we had a lot of fun taking pictures :)

Kent Buys came up with this pose all by himself  - so proud.

"okay show me your cute face, Kent"

 Playground picture trying not to slip!

 This is the winner for masculine powerful stance and picture! ha he asked me if he should flex and I said, "oohhh yes."

 Then he took a couple pictures of me and told me to make a kissy face :)

My sweetheart showed up with flowers as he picked me up from class yesterday! We traveled to the gym together and worked our muscles for a much needed workout after Thanksgiving. We are grateful for the gym! Going there again today.
