52 Weeks

I finally finished my 52 weeks project! It was my New Years resolution for 2013 to take a picture every week for the whole year and it's now complete. So to celebrate I decided to share all of my favorite pictures that I took (you can view the complete project here).


For 2014, I am thinking of working on more conceptual pictures and I'd love to shoot more portraits. Next semester I'm also taking my first photography class, and I'm excited to expand my talents and really learn more about how to work a camera. - Jessica

Merry Christmas


There are just a few more minutes until it's Christmas for me and here is my last Christmas post of this year. Overall, this year didn't feel as festive as the past, the weather is a bit warm and I didn't listen to Christmas songs or play them on my ukulele as much as last year. But this year things were a little different, I didn't procrastinate in my Christmas shopping this year and I feel like I took significantly more pictures this holiday season than last year. I got to visit the Trail of Lights one more time before it closed this year and earlier today my siblings and I attempted to make a gingerbread (sadly it died and we just decorated the front), which I think made up for this holiday season feeling so different. The above picture was edited with the app, Studio.


I hope everyone has a wonderful day! - Jessica

Trail of Lights


Last year I briefly blogged about the Trail of Lights, it's one of my favorite Christmas traditions. This year I went a little overboard with the bokeh photos, don't blame because the results are magical. During the trail, I alternated between singing Christmas songs and the Frozen soundtrack. I haven't been able to stop listening to the soundtrack (particularly "Do You Want to Build a Snowman"), which resulted in my sister buying a copy. Hopefully I can make another trip out before it closes on Sunday!(The text on the above photo was added in the app Over.)

'Tis the Season


Hello internet! Sorry I've been neglecting you, but I just wrapped my first semester of college and I have plenty of time to blog now. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year, I love playing Christmas tunes on my uke, all the pretty lights, and presents aren't that bad either! (The above photo was made with the app, Studio, and filtered with Instagram)

I absolutely love bokeh lights and I'll upload more picture like this before Christmas.

 
 

Texas weather has been uncharacteristically cold so hot chocolate and coffee have become a must.

Expect some more Christmas posts! - Jessica
