It's Break! Oh Yeah, and Here Are Photos of Anna for You =)

So, I love photos. And I love my sisters. But the biggest, and most important-feeling, news of the hour is that FALL BREAK HAS STARTED!! We're all just a little bit excited, in case you couldn't tell. Despite the fact that it's just four days off...it's our first break so far (other than Labor Day). So PHC students are rejoicing right now, and scattering to the four corners of the country to enjoy our short time off...

In other (more photo-related) news, Anna finally got her birthday portraits taken =) I don't have a ton of pictures from this shoot, because I had a lot of ideas that didn't work out quite as well on camera as they did in my mind...but I only needed one official one =) So here's what I ended up with...

This one wasn't super exciting...it was the first photo of the evening, just to test the light. But it turned out to be a very nice photo...but I can get at least a little more creative than that =)

Ahhh, gorgeous sunset light...Anna's so much easier to take pictures of than the youngest kids: when you say "look at the camera and smile," she actually knows what to do! It's great =)

This was the "show some attitude" picture =)

Okay, not really. But I was tired of her hands down in front of her, so we tried this =) 

The glow of the sun is sooo cool...before I edited it, it was way stronger...like you could hardly see Anna for all the glow... 

And this is my favorite, the one we're going to use for her official 11-year-old portrait. Despite the fact that it's obviously fall, and her birthday is in August. Last year's photo has traces of snow behind her, and she's wearing a winter jacket--this is a big improvement =) 

Anyway...I don't have any parting words of wisdom for you...I had a Latin test today, plus homework due (plus lit and work and chapel and other stuff)...so my brain is shot. But I'll post again soon with some other fun photos I took this same day =)

Oh, also--I have too much free time right now, so if you are (for some reason) dedicated enough to read to the bottom of these posts, here is a warning that the look of the blog might change a little. Not sure, but there are cool things I could do. So I might. Sorry if it's confusing =)

(Oh, and look--capital letters came back! Aren't you excited?)

Okay, I'm really done now...
