Hello All,
I know it has been forever! since I wrote, but I have been a tiny bit busy. School finished up, though, so now I have LOTS more time. And I am looking for a job, so if you know of anyone who is looking for a photographer, send them my way.
Attending the Western Academy of Photography was, in the end, a smart move. I feel equipped to take on (almost) any photo assignment and I am looking forward to doing something I love for the rest of my life. I am very happy with my portfolio from school and was shocked that I won three awards for it, as follows:

- The opening image in my printed portfolio. Awarded, Best Color Photo

- My dear Grandpa. Awarded, Best Stock Image

Ali on a Couch, Awarded Best Overall Image
As well as graduating I attended another milestone event for my dear friend Chris. He got married! And what a lovely wedding it was (my favorite part was that Tiffany got married barefoot. Truly a woman for Chris!)
Chris and I met somewhere around the age of two. Shortly after meeting Chris infected me with the chicken pox (my parent’s were in on that one, so I guess I can’t blame him entirely). We reunited after a long hiatus in High School and have been close ever since. I think it is appropriate that he married a Holland, as well (his wife and I share our last names)! I wish them both much happiness and love
