Or something.
So, yesterday, Nick and I went tromping around in the woods to capture the snowiness of our backyard {and some other peoples'}. There were lots of briary-spiny things, and it was all very pretty.
I tried to see and capture the scenes like a photographer, not like just a chick with a camera. I tried to get the feelings of the woods and the snow.
And I finally, FINALLY, got a Power Portrait I was proud of.
Glittery snow!

I love featuring weddings that are inspirational, unique and give readers an insight into the newly-married couple. If you would like to see your wedding on the blog please let me know!
I am passionate about amazing photography and love looking through images of stunning weddings & engagement shoots. If you’ve shot a wedding (or anything other wedding-related) that stood out I’d love you to send it to me (a great way to inspire my readers whilst also showing them how talented you are!)
If you run a business that supplies any aspect of a wedding day (whether it be a big fashion house or an independent selling on Etsy) then I want to let readers know about you. International vendors are more than welcome providing they can supply to us Brits without an astronomical postage fee!
Brides-to-be, newly-weds, vendors & photographers… if you fancy sharing any aspect of your wedding experience & expertise with my readers in your own words then please send me an email with your ideas.
Oh, the weather outside would be awesome if my car wasn't stuck at the bottom of a very steep driveway, which is currently covered in ice. That means that a) I can't go to the shoots I had planned for today, tomorrow, and possibly the next day, and b) I have copious amounts of time to take pictures in my own snowy backyard and blog about them.
So, to take my mind off of "a", I'm performing "b".
The other day, before the ice and snow got so bad as to lock me inside my home, Nick and I took in a football game at a bar & grill down the street with some friends. Though I did my best to capture our time at least partially epically, I had a hard time finding things to take pictures of.
It was a good burger, thanks for asking.
So I moved on to attempt some Power Portraits. Yes, again.
Cute though they may be, they're not what I was aiming for, through no fault of the subjects. Ah, well, maybe next time.
So then the snow blew in, and I shot that.
For those of you who don't know, we have a pig. His name is Wu, as in Mr. Wu, as in from Deadwood. And if I have to explain why, you probably wouldn't get it.
{Oh, okay, fine: Wu is a Chinese character on the HBO Old West show "Deadwood" who keeps pigs for the disposal of bodies. Get it?}
Anyway, we have a pig. And he looked so cute snuffling in the snow, we had to go take pictures of him.
And then he stole Nick's plastic bag.
I tried to photograph the pig epically, if that is even possible. I like the shots I came out with, though. What do you think?
Read more...I'll be the first to admit that I'm really awful about actually sending out Christmas cards. Every year, I've wanted to do it, and every year I just keep putting it off until it's way too late, then I nix the whole idea. I even went through the trouble of designing a card last year, but it's still sitting on my computer in the same spot as when I finished it.
I love the taking pictures part of the holidays, though. It may sound cheesy coming from a photographer, but seriously, I love pictures. I really do think it's important to document the stages of your life, and I love having an excuse to dress up and look cute with Nick. :D
Fellow LeahAndMark.com intern Amanda Summerlin was kind enough to shoot me and Nick this year, and it was a really fun time. We went to the Holbrook Campground - which is one of the best places I've shot - and just basically had a blast. It was really fun working with a fellow photographer, because all three of us had neat ideas to try. Here are my favorites from the session:
