Flowers

I got some lovely flowers for graduation last weekend. And they've been wonderful and patient photography subjects. Enjoy!

 

Even puppy wanted in on the action...

Nikon Moments.

I can't say Kodak moments. That's blasphemy. It is now Nikon moments.

Word.

While my family was in town visiting last weekend, I found some good Nikon moments and ended up with a few portraits I just love.

 And my personal favorite...

What is Love?

Besides a catchy song, the answer to this question is OBVIOUSLY a new Nikon camera. Duh
.

Because of my AWESOME family, I am the proud owner of a Nikon D5100. And believe me when I say that this is probably the best thing I have ever owned. I'm in love with this thing. In the last week I have been taking a couple hundred pictures a day and I'm having fun experimenting with all of the new things I can do now.





So obviously. I have some new and wonderful pictures I've been working on. So without further ado, here is a sample of my latest work.

 

Also, you may have noticed I started putting a logo on my pictures. I want to think of a great name for my photography dealings. And "Lyssa Maree Photography" is what I came up with. So if you have any suggestions, I would LOVE to hear all about them! 

And another tid bit of exciting news.  I'm registered for college classes in the fall! I took a trip out to Newberg a few weeks ago and I'm all set. I'm double majoring in Christian ministries and of course studio art. So I'm starting off with Art History (I'm actually really psyched for this one), Basic Design 1, and Drawing 1! I'm super exciting to start! 

And on top of that (I'm just full of cheery news today)... I GRADUATED! It's such a relief to be done with high school! I even had fun doing some photography with that. I know what you're thinking, I'm crazy. Yeah. Well... Yeah. I am.
