October 2019 PHOTO DUMP + {vacation pictures}

Hey there! I am back, once again. It's been so long since I've done a photo dump. So I hope you enjoy this one. Maybe see a bit what my life has been like recently. :)

My whole family went out to the West Coast last month, all returning home at different times. My dad flew home first, then me and my two other working sisters, and finally the remainder of the fam yesterday (besides my older brother who doesn't live at home anymore). 

Well, enjoy some (primarily) smartphone pics . ^__^

Tea on the way to work (my sisters and I ride together, since we work at the same place).

Sunday out-to-eat with the cousins

Disc golfing with people

My sister and I cleaned my dad's spec house. It's actually kind of enjoyable work. ;)

S'mores milkshake. It wasn't that amazing, but I like this picture. :P

I hardly ever go to Bojangle's, so it was a treat to have something different! And that biscuit with honey... Yum!

I made some hot apple cider

I don't usually order such things from restaurants, especially not Culver's, but it was good! I think I was wanting to eat healthier that day. But I did get cheese curds. *drools*

Finding church outfits for vacation to the West Coast. ;)

My cousin brought me and my two sisters to the airport.

I'm always fascinated by the view from airplanes!

Our first stop, in California 

A trip to Burgerville with Daminika, where we got pumpkin milkshakes and pumpkin ice cream sandwiches! ^__^

Their fall colors were WAAYY better than ours!

Taking a walk at my aunt and uncle's, where I stayed the whole trip (along with some of my siblings).

Daminika bought me a blackberry Frost (I think) at Dutch Bros! :)

Hanging out with Daminika again. She's the best! We watched The Meg at her house, sipped hot apple cider, and ate snacks. Those spicy Doritos were so good... xD

Burgerville had the prettiest trees *heart eyes*

Mini golfing for my cousin's last night out! After that we all went back to my aunt and uncle's and played games and ate food. xD

My cousin's wedding was beautiful! I was the photographer, as you may know. ;) It was definitely one of my favorite weddings! My cousin and her (now) husband are SO cute. I got the most adorable pictures of them. <3

Oh, and this is a picture my mom took of me and Daminika at the wedding. :)

With Daminika again. xD She bought me iced coffee.

I don't even really like coffee, but I decided to drink some this day. ;P Haha

Shooting guns with an aunt and uncle (who came out for the wedding- I took THEIR wedding pictures last year!) and cousins and siblings. That was fun, if though cold! I shot a pistol for the first time! It wasn't as scary as I thought. ;P Not scary at all, really.

Disc golfing with cousins and siblings! 

I was impressed with this kombucha! It tasted a lot like Doctor Pepper!

Sightseeing at this beautiful place!

Got back from the hills in time to go out for a late supper with Daminika. Look at this yummy food! I had more than this.

Watching... I think it was Laramie? xP At Daminika's house, of course. *winks* We did a lot together during this trip, and I'm glad we did.

Headed back into the air, home-bound!

(some of these last pictures were actually a couple days into November, but I thought I'd finish up the vacay photos)


I posted a few photos on my photography site here. Hopefully I can get some wedding photos up soon!!


LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU DID IN OCTOBER!
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THIS MONTH?
FAVORITE PIC FROM THE DUMP? :)

Announcing My New Website... NATASHA ANN PHOTOGRAPHY

Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to you! I hope you are all having a good start to your weekend. 

I said in my last post that I started something recently, and would do a post about it. Here's that post! Let's get straight to the point.

Announcing...

NATASHA ANN PHOTOGRAPHY

My new and improved, official photography website! 

If you followed my old photography site on Wordpress, you probably noticed that it's been... dead. For quite a while. Then I started working on a new website on Wix, and just finished and launched it not long ago. I really like everything you can do on Wix, and the more professional-ness of it. *winks* 

I felt like when I published the site, I was starting my business. So... yeah. I kind of started my business. Not like I have it all figured out, and have and know everything I need for a business. I just sort of proclaimed myself a real photographer now. *shrugs* Low key.

So yes, that is what I wanted to tell you all. Go check it out if you want! I have a blog on there, so hopefully I'll post pictures pretty regularly, especially if I start getting a lot of clients. I did a senior shoot a couple weeks ago, which was a good experience. I have a short post on that. You can also see photos from the wedding I did this year (and my other two weddings!) on my Galleries page. I'd love to hear what you think of them! ^__^

p.s. the pictures on this post are some I took on my trip this summer :)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY WEBSITE? 
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE WEDDING PICTURES?

All About Autumn Tag \\ I'm back... maybe

Hey people of the blogger world! It's been a while. A long while. But I suppose I'm back, for now. We'll see how it goes.

How was your summer? As you may remember, I went on a vacation for a wedding (which I photographed- my third wedding), and visited some dear family. Since then we've had some company at our house a couple of times, I've been working, and just going through life. I started something recently that I'll probably do a little post on soon. :)

Fall begins in just two days! Though it's still been quite hot around here, tonight the air is COOL outside. That means fall IS actually coming. *smiles* 

Speaking of such, DAMINIKA tagged me for the All About Autumn tag! So lets get into that!



\\ What are your plans for this fall?

Vacation to the West Coast! My cousin is getting married, and I have the honor of being photographer. It'll be wonderful to go see family and friends. <3
I also plan to fully enjoy the pleasures of fall fashion. MY. FAVE.
Thanksgiving. <3

\\ Which two things tell you that the autumn season has begun?

When the weather cools, and when the colors start changing. *shrugs* That's obvious, I know.

\\ What are three things you love about the season?

fall weather. boots. the colors. jackets. (i know, that was four)

\\ What is your best memory from fall?

I don't know. I guess it's the little things. And some of the Thanksgivings of days gone by. Family is special. :)

\\ What is your favorite scent from autumn?

Hot spiced apple cider, maybe?

\\ What is your favorite autumn color?

I don't know, they're all nice! For wearing, I'd probably say red

\\ What is your favorite fall inspired drink?

Spiced hot apple cider

\\ What is your favorite food from autumn?

Apple stuff and pumpkin stuff  xP

\\ Which place would you love to visit in the fall?

Um, probably just anywhere with people I care about. I'm happy to be visiting the West this fall. ^__^ But if I went somewhere for the colors I'd probably go to New Hampshire because I have family there. 



I TAG: Anyone who wishes to do it
