"It Was Summertime in Northern Michigan"








I spent the past week in the U.P with my good friends from Covenant Point Bible Camp. I didn't have my canon so the pictures aren't the best, but it was such a great week I have to put up pictures. Between cliff jumping, tubing, bonfires, campouts, and laughing until our stomachs hurt, it was an incredible week.

"Welcome To Miami"










There are only 2 weeks left in senior year, and they have been very well spent. Between watching Lifetime movies, baking apple pie, and having dance-offs, my end of senior year has been very enjoyable. :) the best part though, was definitely the Living On Your Own mock wedding! The theme was "Miami Ink" and we all got pretty into it. I even wore tattoo leggings...and got many strange looks, but it was definitely worth it. I got to be the wedding photographer...so enjoy some engagement pictures and wedding pictures!

Paul & Britta's Pre-Wedding Reception







I was lucky enough to be asked to be the photographer at Paul & Britta's Pre-Wedding Reception! I love them both so much, and it was a lot of fun to take all the pictures. They are getting married in Seattle, so I won't be at their actual ceremony (my sister is having her baby on the same date!) so it was great to be a part of the pre-wedding activities. :)

Chiiiii





For photo class, we went downtown for a whole day just to take pictures. By far my favorite day of school! We went all over, but our best stop was "the bean." A random woman decided it would be a good idea to do yoga right in front of the bean (as the pictures show), it was the best picture, and the best story. :)

our sport is your sport's punishment.




my track season just ended and it was very bittersweet. i love the girls, but my body can definitely use the rest! I celebrated with a Portillo's chocolate milkshake.


Paradise





In December, right when it was about -45 degrees in Chicago, I went to the Cayman Islands with my friend Elise and her family. It was perfect timing, and was absolutely the most beautiful place I've ever been to. I'd choose sand and sun over snow and cold anyyy day.
