I got my camera!

I need to name him, but here are some of my favorites so far!

Dear Brat Pack, I miss you!

I miss my girls back home. I feel like such a horrible friend....I even missed one of your 16th birthdays. Can we PLEASE party next time I'm in town? Do y'all realize how much I need to spend a night on Morgan's trampoline with you ladies?

I miss actually having fun...

Love you all! :)

[Insert something creative and/or witty here.]

I cannot wait to see this guy Sunday.

 With him.

And her.

And this girl too.



I will be able to officially cross "Meet Bryce Avary.....again." off my bucket list.

Speaking of my bucket list, I saw a real, live black Asian the other day! Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of that one....But Erika doesn't have to worry about conceiving a love child with a black dude for me anymore. She's such a good friend. :)

Ask me something! :D

Precious. :)

I absolutley adore shooting babies. <---- Haha. That sounded really bad. Anyway, whether it's caputring the pure innocence, the tantrums, the love, the goofiness, or the moments of joy, they are always the most enjoyable to meh.

Best Friends.

Here's a shout out to my most favorite people in the world- my BFF's

I have several "close" friends, but these three people are the ones that I have continued to grow closer to after my move- even though I only REALLY got to know the two gals over the summer. They've gotten me through a lot of crap in the past few months and I have absolutely no idea where I would be without them.

So, thank you Karli, Tyler, and Erika. I love you!!

Okay, so for some reason I have zero pictures of Karli and I, so here's Karli and Belle instead! :D

Emma!

Wow, I haven't been on here in forever!

The pictures above are just a few of the MANY pictures I took of Emma. I still have a ton of sorting and editing to do.

Emma is one of the coolest cats around. She helped me so much last year and I'm really glad we became friends! :)

Bubbles!

To this day I still LOVE bubble baths. You could say I'm easily amused.

Art Supply Wishlisssssst.

1.) 3.1769 yards of unstretched, untreated canvas.
2.) 2 stretched and treated canvases. (5x7)
3.) Cray pas. (I want some of these SO bad.)
4.) Good watercolors.
5.) Watercolor paper.
6.) Some canvas panels.
7.) Acrylic paint. (Just because you can never have too much.)
8.) Gel medium.
9.) Some new paint brushes.


I invest so much time and money in this junk, but there's not a better feeling than the one you get after you create something. Most people don't realize it, but when they look at something I have put time and effort into making, it's like they have found a window that overlooks my heart and soul- one of the many reasons I LOVE art. :)


Go make something!,
Emi-Lou.

La Musica.

AHHHHHH!!!!

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 (NLV)

Can I just say that God just keeps on and keeps on opening my eyes to just how amazing everything in my life that I thought was going to be so horrible is going to turn out!? I absolutely, positively LOVE my school. I was afraid of running into snobs, but everyone is extremely nice and all of my teachers are really cool! I've made lots of friends AND SOMEONE I FREAKING LOVE FROM MARLOW IS MOVING HERE!!!!!!!! (I'm really excited to have one of my bff's with me.)

Okay, so now it's time to talk about the most important parts of school: speech and choir!

My team from Marlow was amazing, don't get me wrong, but there are so many more opportunities at DC. Not only are we members of OSSAA, but we're about to begin the paperwork to be a part of the NFL (National Forensics League) where, unlike OSSAA, we will be able to compete at a national level.

The choir I'm in now is SO much bigger than the one in Marlow.....AND WE HAVE BOYS!!!, which we did not in Marlow. I'll be performing 5416549678641515648974 more times throughout the year here. And I absolutley adore Mrs. Sink, our director.

Not only are these programs awesome on their own, but they work together too! We'll be doing a musical and going on a trip with the two in the Spring.

As for the verse I posted way up there....I want to be on Broadway. That's my dream. If that doesn't work out, however, I want to be either a drama teacher or college professor. So, slowly but surely my eyes have been opened up to maybe one of the reasons I moved for the long haul.

Okay, I'm done rambling now. :)

Peace and Love,
Emi-Lou.

After taking pictures of this chica, I get what people mean by "She was a natural in front of the camera." This shoot was so extremely easy and fast! Possibly my favorite so far. :)
