I'm Off......

My roommate Annika and I are driving up to Chicago tonight so we can catch our flight that leaves for Europe tomorrow. Yes that's right I will be traveling Europe for the month of June going to many different countries hopefully having a once in a lifetime experience! Anyways my goal is to keep my blog updated with the our travels and adventures over there so keep checking back for my newest updates and find out where we're at or where we might be going.

But that also means if you need or want to contact me send me an e-mail because I won't have my phone on me. It also might take a little longer for me to get back to you simply because I don't know how often we will get Internet access.

Well I'm off to finalize my packing and get last little tidbits done so I will see you later!!!!!!!!

Nicole, Jose, & Cami

Ever since school got out for summer I feel like I've been running around like a crazy person. From this to that and back to this I have not been short of things to do. Yesterday was no such exception. My friend Annika and I started our day early with a rummage sale in an attempt to earn a little extra money for our Europe trip. (Which I will be leaving for in exactly a week today) And then not shortly after I headed down to St. Charles to shoot Nicole & Jose & their beautiful little girl's pics. And although I am completely exhausted from all the running around I've been doing it's always a lot of fun to be around these guys and just a blast to take their pictures.

Mommy and Me

It was so good to see you guys, hope you love your pics!!!!!

Whitney- FaShIOniStA

Amidst Finals week I found myself an assignment short for one of my classes. Luckily I have good friends and Whitney agreed to go out and model for me so I could finish it up. I can't wait to be done with class. Tomorrow the craziness ends and Summer is HERE!!!!! I have two finals and will be done in the afternoon. Every year about this time I just get so ready to be done and just go outside, but this year has been the worst and I am so excited for the end. It may have something to do with an upcoming birthday directly followed by a trip to Europe!!!! OH yay, yay, YAY!!!!!!

Oh but yeah as for those pics:

My Fave!

Oh and this is just for fun but I had to post it because it is such a "Whitney" face!

Good Luck to everyone else struggling to get through finals! It's almost OVER!!!!

Anna & Zac EnGagEd!!!!!!!!!!

So I am soon to be celebrating my 21st birthday and man am I starting to feel old. Now that seems a little crazy considering 21 is by no means over the hill but it just so happens that the thought of being a senior in college along with one of my best friends getting MARRIED this summer just is making me feel like I am kind of becoming a grown up. Hmmm... but although that just seems extremely weird it is also exciting because I mean well ANNA'S GETTING MARRIED!!!!!! Although it is impossible for me to really think this is all happening I couldn't be more excited for her!

So anyways this past weekend I went down to Joplin to see Anna and then we headed down to Arkansas (where Zac is currently working) to do their engagement pics. Anna and I went out scouting for some fun spots on Sat. evening (which we found by the way) and we took pics Sunday morning before Zac had to head off to work. And as I lay listening the rain pound against the window all through the night I prayed I hadn't spent over 4 hours driving time to wake up and not be able to go out and take a single picture. But to my surprise it stopped about an hour before the alarm clock went off and we woke up to an overcast sky, which I can handle any day. It did end up sprinkling a couple of time forcing me to pull out my handy dandy trash bag as a rain cover for my precious new camera but the water did amazing things to all the green around.

But anyways enough jibber jabbering- on to the pictures:

This was actually at Zac's apartment complex. How fun?

The apartments also had a volleyball court. And Anna had told me the one thing she thought might be fun would be to get some "volleyball" pic since that is how they actually met.

And this is my fave. I just loved this blue shed/barn that we found.

They were getting a little cold! :)

Ahhhhh the green.........

I must say I was pretty impressed with what Arkansas had to offer. I always do enjoy getting to find and shoot in new locations.

Unfortunately I won't be shooting the wedding as I will be a bridesmaid. However, I think it might be nice to be on the other end of the camera for a weekend. But that will only last so long.

Love ya Anna and I hope you guys had fun. See ya soon!
