Arin could totally have a career in modelling (If she worked on her core muscles a bit). ;-) Seriously, I love using Arin for photos.

Arin and Katie came with me on a photo adventure this past weekend and I was able to get some great shots for my class and for a new pet project of mine.

{She’s working her core. ↑ }

{one of my fave katie shots from the day}

{this was before I made her really uncomfortable in the cemetery.}

{Katie’s new signature heart for her car. it made a great frame.}

There are so many shots I love, it’s hard to choose which ones to post. As always, there will be more on my flickr account. If Katie posts any pictures on her flickr, you can see those here.

We drove down to Elizabeth City again for a whirlwind visit to a little park/dock, the fave cemetery, lunch at 3 Amigos, cupcakes downtown at a little bakery (SO great), and taking Arin into an alley.

Pretty soon I’ll post more pics of my solo visit to Elizabeth City last week, some beach shots, crafts, and some of my final edits for my class project.

Did this one during my Zorro craze. The old Disney version with Guy Williams. I love it. So very much.
261/365 Zorro!

And because I hear things in my head when I look at this, you get to hear them too:

cemetery, elizabeth city, north carolina, Photography

I’m taking a community college photography class this semester. Our first portfolio is supposed to be black and white, but some of the shots are so fun in color, I thought I’d share. Sunday afternoon I visited an old fave, Elizabeth City, NC, to snap some shots where I knew I could get some I would like. (And now I want to go back with a friend for an exploring day again.)

Here are a couple from the ones I’ve edited so far. (Hope cemeteries don’t creep you out—I love them!)

It was a dreary, overcast day. Except for the actual raining portions of time, those are some of my fave days because the colors look amazing!
