The Herrerra Family

Recently my boyfriend and I took a trip over to Bend and got to see my cousins Angel, Dax and Ella. She asked if I could take a few family photos of them. Of course I was thrilled but wished I would have had some time to prepare. I really haven't done any formal shoots. I have always loved taking photos but am now beginning to get more into it and have a DSLR camera. I  mostly shoot landscape photos so portraits was a new thing for me. Here are some of my favorite shots I captured!

Christmas card display



I saw a cute and easy way to display all your christmas cards somewhere on pinterest. So I grabbed some twine and wooden clothespins at the dollar store and got to work. I had the perfect blank wall going up the stairs where I put in two push pins and hung the twine. I used the clothespins to attach the greeting cards to the twine and evenly spread them out throughout the twine. That’s all it took!

DIY pen and pencil holder


I have a super quick and easy DIY for you guys! I have to thank Michaela from Michaela Noelle Designs for the inspiration! She has the cutest DIYs, designs and photography! First find a mason jar or an empty and clean glass jar, I used an old alfredo sauce jar. Then purchase some washi tape or glitter tape at the craft store. I found this kind for 99 cents each at Michaels before Christmas!

First I tried applying the glitter tape just to the top. Then I decided it needed a little something else so I added another strip down towards the bottom. The tape was very sticky and I didn’t have any problems with it staying on the glass.

Very quick, easy and cute! You could also use it for your makeup brushes!
