Day 24

<3

Day 23

He had a powder fight with himself. <3

Looking through a child's eyes

So happy we got to take pictures of the car today, don't have the time to post them before bed but they will be up soon!

Day 22

Little Miss down on love
Little Miss I give up
Little Miss I’ll get tough, don’t you worry about me anymore
Little Miss checkered dress
Little Miss one big mess
Little Miss I’ll take less when I always give so much more

Little Miss do your best

Little Miss never rest

Little Miss be my guest, I'll make more anytime that it runs out

Little Miss you'll go far

Little Miss hide your scars

Little Miss who you are is so much more than you like to talk about

Little Miss brand new start
Little Miss do your part
Little Miss big ‘ole heart beats wide open and she’s ready now for love

It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
Yeah, sometimes you gotta lose ’til you win
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
It’ll be alright again

I don't know if anyone really even reads this, but if you do I'm sorry I know I've been doing horrible the past couple days. I've been so busy with homework, cleaning, school, and lots of Patrick! :)
Now that I'm ahead with all of my school work, and don't have to go back to campus until next month I hope to do better with posting my pictures.
Everything has been good lately, nothing really to write about. 
Here are a couple pictures to make up for the ones I never posted!

Day 18 Just a Thought

"I'd rather have people hate me for who I am than love me for who I am not."
Hopefully writing in my blog will make me feel better for the day.
Life is full of so many different kinds of people and emotions.

At this point I don't even know what to write, I have some of the most amazing people backing me up 100% of the time and then there are some that seem like they want to bring me down everyday.
This is where people confuse me; is it jealousy? hatred? or just ignorant?

I'm not a perfect nor will I ever be, but if you don't love me for who I am then don't plan on loving me at all, because I will not change who I am for your approval.

It's not a good feeling to feel alone when in a group of people.
Some people will never be happy for me or who I am, and I understand that.
But keep it to yourself.
Life is too short for me to worry about all of this, I'm a stronger person than that and I will continue with how I am.

If you don't like it, I'm not sorry but you may want to remember that life can end at any given second, would you really want you last memory with someone to be a negative one? 
Hate is Easy; Love takes Courage.

Day 17

 <3

Exhausted from school and lack of sleep. I'll write again soon.
(irritated that this blog destroys my pictures.)

Day 16

"An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language."

Day 15

"Stand for what you believe in, even if it means standing alone."

Day 14

It was absolutely beautiful outside today, but I'm more than ready for pool season!

My thoughts for the day

Why hide feelings?
Why not speak when spoken to?
Why close up instead of spread your wings?

Why do we insist on hiding what we feel, what makes us sad, what makes us mad?

Why when someone knows something is wrong we hide inside rather than free our hearts?

It's not how long it takes to get to know someone, it's how long it takes them to open up to you.

<3

Day 13

We're on Day 13, didn't get many pictures today but here is one of my amazing sleepy not so little baby boy :) <3

Day 12

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."

Day 11

 

1. Bullitt, again!
















2. Our snowman!

Thoughts for the day,
You don't realize how much your parents have done for you, and do for you until you have a child of your own. You will never realize how much they love you and care about you until you feel that same way about you're own.
It's a terrifying and amazing thing being a parent.
Even with my son Patrick only being two, I pray that he makes the best decisions possible in the future.
It's the most amazing feeling in the world, that could never be replaced by anything.
<3 i love you mom and dad.

So I am currently torturing everyone who can hear my music coming from my computer with some amazing Spice girls haha oh the wonderful NOW CD from when I was 7.
and of course the next song will be MMMBop by Hanson.
Well tomorrow will be another blog!

Day 10

GA finally got some snow!
The dogs were happy too!

Not really in the mood to write today, time to do some school work and play black ops!!

Day 9

"In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away"

I have had a lot of people come in and out of my life, I've made good choices and bad choices, I've fallen to my knees and cried and I've pulled myself up when I didn't think possible, I have proven everyone wrong; including myself, I have showed people that just because I brought a child into this world at a young age that I am capable of succeeding no matter what I want to do, and no matter who tells me I can't.
I make the best out of everything in life, everything that has been thrown at me I except and continue to move onward with my head held high.

Not all of my past is pretty and picture perfect, but I don't dwell upon it and I would never change it.

My past has made me who I am today and I am proud of who I have become.
I hope everyone learns from their past instead of staring back wishing they could change something, because in all reality it cannot be changed and there is a reason for everything.
I'm not saying I'm the perfect person or have the perfect life.

Life is what you make of it nothing more, nothing less.
You decide if your happy.

Day 8

My brother's dragon, who I think eventually wanted to bite me for shoving my camera in his face; nevertheless, we ended the shoot.

                 So the blog for today will probably be short, I'm blank and exhausted.

(oh and ready to play some black ops!)

Today was overall a good day, although I would love to be somewhere sounded by snow right now. Hopefully we'll get some the next couple days.

"When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile."
"Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about."

So I've now been staring at this mostly blank page for well over an hour thinking of everything I have inside to write down, but without knowing where to start or how to begin.
It's funny how some emotions and topics just flow right to my fingertips and some just freeze inside me.

I guess nothing was meant to be written on the rest of this page.
Hopefully tomorrow will bring a better outcome.

Those who can make you smile no matter what, compete with you just to see how far you'll push yourself, always believe in everything you want to do,  and talk to you about nothing and everything for hours

The End of Day 7

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your health, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
and I'm going to extremes
tomorrow I will change
and today won't mean a thing 

I absolutely love this picture, to me it kind of represents life in a way; crazy, hectic, and no true definition or path.

The song above is "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks.
I have been listening to this song since I was young, my parents had the CD and I always loved it even though I couldn't sing it of course because the language. It is my favorite song and I think it explains me in a lot of ways.  

(I have listened to it at least 20 times today, it never gets old.)

 
Anyways, on to my thoughts for the day.

My day was filled with good, bad and everything in between. 

Thankfully my camera, son and music were by my side.

Along with my extreme passion for taking pictures, I also love music. I love listening to people sing, and play guitar; its my weakness and, of course I am a female so I am a sucker for a good "sappy" love song.. I believe music is one of the several major keys to happiness, there is a song out there for absolutely every emotion you could possibly feel. Music can make me feel better no matter what, but maybe that "cure" is something different for everyone..

One more thought,

everyone's day should be filled with laughter, happiness, and lots of smiles. If you have that, you can accomplish anything you set your heart and mind on. I have several people in my life right now that keep me smiling and laughing all day without even trying, and to those people I love you and I hope I can give back what you give to me.

Day 7

Didn't get much sleep last night, I had a lot on my mind. 

(and I played black ops past midnight so I'm sure that didn't help!)  

This is basically me just rambling on about random stuff..
 

    I'm curious to know why people are how they are, I'm sure most of you hear me talk all the time about how I hate people. Which I definitely do, most anyway, but I'm a great people person. I love talking to people and learning about who they are, but a downfall comes with that as well, you learn people so well that you begin to dislike people in general. The thing lately that confuses me most is why people dislike some when they don't even know them. I've learned a lot about a few people recently, some are good friends, some are friends who I haven't talked to in a while, and some stuff was good, some was bad.

   I just wish everyone would get to learn someone before they decide they "dislike" or even "hate" them. Why judge someone when you wouldn't want to be judged yourself? If you are one of these people how would you feel if all your friends would have been like that towards you when they first met you? You would have absolutely no friends. I'm not saying that I am the most amazing person and that I've never judged anyone before knowing them in my life, because I have... But I've learned to give everyone a chance, even though other people may not like them.

My disappointment in people I'm sure will continue with the new year(as it already has).

Ive already lost friends I thought were the closest to me, and gained a new friendship with someone who was always considered a friend, just never really had the time to talk to.
 

Thank you, to everyone who I following :)

I could probably write another six pages, but I don't want to bore anyone so I will continue writing later.

(picture of the day will come later too!)

 

Day 1 through Day 6

Day 1.
Miss Danika's 1st birthday party, time passes quicker with every blink.

Day 2.
My son pointed this out to me in much excitement, after I explained it was a paw print from our family dog he decided to start barking... The life of a two year old.

 Day 3.
My son is the main focus of my photography, every face is a new story.

 Day 4.
One of the Three of our family dogs, I'm sure if you follow my blog you'll meet the others as well.

Day.5 

"You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair."

 Day.6

 All of you probably look at this picture and think of how absolutely adorable he is, in all reality he was being evil while I took this picture.

A new beginning

2010 came and went, now its a new beginning with 2011.
My name is Lindsay, I'm 20 and a full time mother and college student. Photography is my passion and expresses me better then anything else. I realized how important capturing the perfect moment was when I had my son almost 2 years ago. I'm starting this journey of pictures with the new year, I hope you continue to follow and enjoy the story of our lives!
