the great photography aspiration

My friend, Jamie, asked me to take some family photos for their Christmas cards. I'm ultra pleased with how they turned out. We went to Balboa Park right at sunset and it was the most perfect lighting - like heaven. I had so much fun pretending to be a photographer.

If you haven't noticed I have a lot of different interests. I'm a wannabe graphic designer, a wannabe artist, a wannabe chef (although I guess I have some credentials there), a wannabe singer, a wannabe interior designer, a wannabe crafter, a wannabe poet, a wannabe world traveler, a wannabe writer/editor, a wannabe furniture upholsterer, and, now, a wannabe photographer. If I had the time, I would quit my fake job and be all of those things. Hopefully I'll be in good health when I'm old and my kids are grown so I can piddle my life away doing all the fun things that interest me.
I'm most proud of this one that I took of Jamie's husband, Kyle. Hilarity at its best.

  1. You so could be a photographer, never mind a wannabe one. Have a look at a some of the "photographer's" websites around at the moment and your photos are as good as(if not better than) theirs. These photos are great and I'm sure your friends will love them.

  9. Holy mackerel Liz! These look amazing! Forget the wannabe, you are right up there with the good ones. By the way, what camera do you recommend? I want to ask for a new one for Christmas/birthday and I need to start my research, but I figured you might have some good ideas...
