A few months ago I entered some of my photos in the Capture Kentuckiana Project. The project involved local amateur and professional photographers submitting their work to be viewed by the Courier-Journal staff as well as each other. Photos were voted upon and out 11,688 photos submitted 144 were chosen for the book. The book is a representative of Kentuckiana. I won $50 and second place for a photo I submitted in the 'News and Events' category! The photo was 'Rubber Duck Sea'. Funny enough it is one of my least favorite photos I submitted (yet it seems to be my most popular on here too), but I supposed I shouldn't be picky. I'm pretty proud of my accomplishment nonetheless because I was able to get my name out around Louisville as a photographer. Hopefully this will lead to bigger and better things!

Rubber Duck Sea:

My close friend !pacothethird, my sister-in-law ~Roseness, and her boyfriend ~dtyler07 all submitted photos to be published in the book and/or DVD as well so be sure to check out their work!
    

It's been quite awhile since I've been on here. Things have been very busy for me with work and school and I haven't had much time to take any photos.

Unfortunately my husband and I went through a bit of a rough time at the end of October. We had to put our precious MacKenzie to sleep. She had been very sick and when we took her to the Emergency Vet they said there was nothing they could do. They suspect it was FIP, a rare and fatal feline disease. So in memory of her, here are a few of my favorite shots:

         
    

The good news is that my husband and I have adopted a kitten from the Humane Society! The house felt so lonely without MacKenzie, and while out new kitten will never replace how special MacKenzie was, its nice to have another baby running around the house again. Her name is Shadow and she is 6 months old! Unfortunately she hasn't sat still long enough for me to get a good shot of her, so for now this is what you get:



    

My husband and I went to Ebensburg, PA to visit with family for Thanksgiving. Luckily with the time off I was able to actually take some photos! I put up the first batch this evening:

            

    

I received lots of comments, s, and a few es recently. Unfortunately I don't have the time to individually thank everyone, so I'm doing it here. THANK YOU!
