Photography + it’s Greatest Gift

I am sharing some pictures that I took my last year in college with the Graphic Design & Digital Communications Degree. We had a photography class (which I fell in love with photography). Whenever I capture a great photo I feel nothing but pure joy. When I do sessions (okay I’m not that popular yet and have done very few, mostly just friends and for fun, for now) when I look at the preview on my camera I have caught myself jumping with happiness and I suddenly feel proud of myself.

I never knew I would fall in love with something so deeply. It also goes in with graphic design so it’s a win, win. I hope to eventually open my own photography business someday. I have a business name I created while in school and for school, Aj Designs (look me up ;). Once I am done with this degree I am hoping to put my full force into starting my own business and hopefully doing that full time.

So when people ask me why I love photography – it’s a simple, yet cliche answer – I love to capture the little things in life. Whether it be a still life image, landscape image, a portrait and so on. When I look back and look on my work I feel pure joy. I feel happy. I feel proud of myself.

You don’t take a photograph, you make it.

Living With a Five Month Old Corgi !!!

Meet Mollie! She is a 5 month (almost 6 month old) Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

We got Mollie from a breeder in Canton, SD. on October 4th. It has been a chaotic nut house since them, lol. The first couple of months she had such high energy (couldn’t control it whatsoever) and had a fettish with MY feet, but mostly, only, my feet. She would attack them. And I mean ATTACK them. Sometimes she wouldn’t let go. I had scabs all over my feet, to the point where we couldn’t take it anymore. I assumed it was just teething and the puppy/herding instinct in her.

So finally after much research and consideration, my boyfriend & I decided to send her away to obedience school (ya I know awful PAWrents). We sent her to Midwest Dog Training in North Sioux City, SD where she stayed for 3 weeks. The guy even picked her up and dropped her off and had a 2 hour debriefing with us. Ever since she has been the sweetest little girl who just needed some correction, lol. She has learned many commands and still continuing to. She hasn’t attacked my feet ONCE (she’s been back for almost 2 weeks. We are super impressed and the 3 weeks without her were worth it considering the results.

So now our lives are complete with a well behaved, sassy, hilarious corgi. She keeps our lives entertaining, that’s for sure!!
