Merry Christmas!!

I finally finished up on my preparations for Christmas today. Now what do I do??
I was browsing the internet and I found some amazing photographers. I like to browse and look at other people's style with their photography and see if there's anything inspiring in their portfolios... especially family/wedding/engagement photos because that's what I want to do. Anyway, I was really inspired by what I saw on those sites. Looking at pictures like that makes me wonder if I'll ever be as good as some of those photographers out there. I'm still a beginner, and that's good because I have a lot I really want to learn. If you want to check some out yourself, here's the sites:

Jessica Claire Photography

Jasmine Star Photography

It's a bit rainy, eh?

I went to Canada for the first time a few weekends ago! I am glad that I no longer have to be ashamed by having never ventured to this "foreign" land... especially since I live right next to it! My cousin Dave and I drove to Vancouver BC and checked out China Town and this really cool park and stuff! It was a bit cold and rainy that day, but still way fun! Definitely worth the 2 hour drive there... which isn't even that bad. 'Twas fun!! I recommend it to anyone! :)
