Herp derp.

My hair wasn't cooperating today, so I tortured it into submission with a 2" barrel curling iron.

Apparently some of my friends refer to me as "the girl who always has cute hair".

Thanks?

I'm realizing that I should start taking real photos of myself. Depending on how well you know me, you may or may not be aware that I own a photography business. 

Shocking, right?

I've been taking most of these photos with my webcam, which is all fine and dandy. But I really should be using this project to further my photog skills. 

(Yes, I just said "photog skills")

Speaking of photography, here's a story:

I was  labeled a "professional photographer" by a Facebook photo contest group.

It kinda stinks because I'm not eligible to place in the contest, but it's also kinda cool to be officially categorized as a pro. I suppose it makes sense. I mean, I own an LLC and, while my primary occupation is "student", my primary source of income is my photography. 

Scratch that. My ONLY source of income is photography. I have my business and I also work for my school paper.

Every time I sit down and think about it, I realize that I'm so insanely blessed. Not only with photography stuff, but with family, friends, Jacob, my church family, my Honors College family...

The list goes on and on. And I am SO thankful.
