Winter wonderland
Good morning guys!!!!! I am so excited that I can finally
get out of the house, but I was very blessed to stay in all weekend and just
relax before my school load got crazy. I hope all of you have stayed dry and
warm during this snowstorm. Today’s post
is about how to make a photograph look extra great. For the people who do not
know me, I am such a fan of art. Lots of people get gifts in life such as
singing, athletic, and book smart, I’d say my gift in life is being artistic. I
enjoy painting, designing, and I really really enjoy photography. Photography
is so easy, but yet so rewarding. I love taking pictures of people; I love
making people feel beautiful in every way. Every person has something unique
about them, and the goal with photographing people is to get that unique
quality about them in the photo. Some people have big smiles, others have
distinct eyes, and each person is different and its so important to find that
persons unique quality. To make a good photograph you need to find the right
coloring. Coloring plays the biggest part in how the photo is going to turn
out. With coloring you need to wear clothing that is opposite colors with the
background you are going to be using. For instance, in the snow you don’t want
to wear white because it blends together. It’s important to find the
complementary color of the background you are going to be using (that’s a
interior design definition). Complementary colors are the colors that when
combined cancel each other out. If you were taking pictures in front of a green
tree, red would be the color to wear. Coloring is everything when trying to
take a good picture. Here are a few of
my favorite shots from the snowstorm.

The perfect set up
Hey guys, I’m sure everyone is getting ready for this huge snow we are about to have. I was scrolling through my pictures and I noticed these awesome pictures I took of my parents dining room table over Christmas break! My mother is so talented at decorating, and people always wonder why I want to be a decorator (it’s because I want to be as good as my mother one day). I loved how she hung crystals from the chandelier to give the room a prettier feel. When my parents built this house, they wanted a dinning room to hold lots of people (they sure got it). Over Christmas break we had the entire family over and we all sat at this table. This beautiful room is one of a kind and it will never date. Décor is something everyone has to have within the home, but it’s so important to know how to set up and decorate the pieces you have purchased.
Keep your home beautiful and bright

Fashion Show April 2016
Hello guys, I hope everyone has had
a wonderful Christmas break and a happy New Year (I know I have). Today’s post
is very special to my heart, because I have worked very hard on this particular
thing I am going to be sharing with you all. As some of you may know I was
accepted into the 2016 Fashion Show at Liberty University. To give you some
more detail, I came up with a fashion sketch (shown in the picture) I turned in
my fashion sketch and it got approved. I couldn’t believe that my sketch got
approved, but I was so excited about this journey. After my sketch got approved
all of the fun things started to happen.
As a
designer it is important to find the right model to wear the attire you
created. Once I figured out what I was designing, I then was on the search for
a model. The fashion show program had model casting, which is when people come
try out for a position in the fashion show. As people strutted down the aisle,
this one particular girl caught my eye. This beautiful girl had dark hair, and
GREAT eyebrows (well I ended up getting her). Once my model was chosen I had to
get measurements and sizes to start the designing process. Well as of tonight I
started creating my 2 dresses I will be presenting in the Fashion Show in
April. I just want all of you to know that I have never sewn an outfit in my
entire life, but it is so fun to take chances and just DO IT (as Nike says). As
in the picture below that is just the outline to an amazing dress that should
be done in 2 weeks! Once I finish my dresses I will post them and show you the
final product!
Thanks for reading!
