So, I've been thinking about this a lot lately, especially since I want to be designing more and making new templates and that type of stuff. I just have a concern, mainly because it happened to me, and it bugged me, then I realized I've done it to others.

When I start designing, i sometimes have designers block..you know, where you can't seem to get anything going. Well, I spend a LOT of time looking at other photography and design sites to get ideas....so my question..is it illegal to copy a layout? Like "two pictures go here" the words go here, etc. etc. Does that make sense? And maybe not necessarily COPY, but change it up a little. I feel bad when I find a layout that I want to try, because I don't want to do anything illegal and steal their ideas. But, at the same time, if you think about it, people had to get their ideas somewhere. How do we know that they didn't borrow an idea..(not that that makes it right, if it is illegal...) lol, but does that make any sense? I'm really having a hard time with this, because the other day I looked at a site and thought, oh my heck...they STOLE MY DESIGN! but then I realized, I got that idea from someone else, so it's not really mine, but it still really bothered me, but I have found so many cute designs and want to "copy" in a way. I try to change them up, but they just don't look as good, ya know? So...those are my thoughts...let me know your opinion. Be brutally honest, because I need to know. I'm really bothered by it...lol...so yeah...

Some examples:

www.pixelpatchwork.blogspot.com

As opposed to the same exact layout, just maybe different colors, pictures, and words? Does that make more sense? So say, they just took the layout from the first picture, and just changed the wording a little bit, the colors, and the background, but left everything else the same?

Alright...have a great day...

So, I am thinking about cutting my hair...I've been wanting to for some time, but I'm kinda nervous to. I haven't REALLY cut it in over 4 years, so I'm not sure what to do. I am posting 3 pictures of previous hair cuts. #1 is super short, and I really like it, however, I think I just like the way it's done. It wasn't usually that cute. #2 is medium length, and I actually really don't like it. HA..and #3 is super long, which I LOVED, and I've had my hair that length again, but it's a lot thicker now. I used to be able to just let it air dry and it would dry straght. Now I have to blow dry it..UGH!

So I thought I would get YOUR opinion. I will probably do whatever i want anyway...(always did when it came to my hair. I'll also post a pic of it when it was red sometime..) as long as my hubby likes it...but i'm just curious what you think. Keep in mind, I'm not as skinny as I used to be, so some styles may not work the same...Alright..let me know!

Oh, and OBVIOUSLY these are from HS...lol, but I haven't had any way cute styles since them...
I think I'm gonna do it shorter than #2, but not as short as #1? Maybe? anyone know of any cute hairstyles? let me know! okay...goodnight

fun stuff

So, Sunday night Greg and I went out to take some pictures. We drove around looking for places to take pictures and some good areas to catch some sunsets. We ended up on campus, and no Michelle, we aren't "true Aggies" nor to we claim to be associated with the Aggies. But it is a really nice campus, and we had fun walking around. Here are a few random pics we got...

It's too bad we don't live in a real city. We were messing around with the shutter speed. This one was pretty cool, I though...Totally shaky, but that's what makes it cool. FYI, that was a cop...
This one was the car next to us turning. I love how you can see it the whole way...
I did take a pic of old main. It's a cool building, but like I said, we do not associate ourselves with the Aggies!
So, this one is totally creepy. We were doing more slow shutter pics, and when I downloaded this to my computer...this is what came out..Kinda totally creepy. Isn't there some myth about ghosts and pictures? hmmm...what do YOU think?
Lol, on a side note. Anyone watch the Cowboys vs. Eagles tonight? Super good game. Can I just say how much I love Tony Romo. Not only is he totally cute, but he's so good. And so humble. He's had a rough few years in the play-offs (try a fumbled hold on a game-winning field goal, and I think an interception at the end of their game last year?) anywho. He's totally cool with it all. Tonight he started out a little rough, throwing an interception and fumbling in the endzone to give the Eagles a TD. After the game, when asked about it, he simply said, "I sucked." Then goes on to say that you can't sit and dwell on your mistakes, etc. etc....or something to that affect. Totally awesome. Seriously, what pro athlete would ever say that about themselves? He's definitely an all-star to look up to...even if he is dating Jessica Simpson..UGH! Anyway..just thought I would share....

. and more .

Alright, here ya go. I know I post a LOT of pictures of my shoots, but there two good reasons. 1) I don't have many shoots right now, so I get bored.. (AGAIN. IF INTERESTED GIVE ME A CALL. SPECIAL OFFER FOR CACHE VALLEY!) and 2) I FREAKIN' LOVE PICTURES!! I have a problem where I can't throw any away...and I love editing them...Anyway, so I added a few more to the post below this one, and there are different ones on my photog blog <--CLICK THERE...So check out both and leave COMMENTS! I love comments... Alright...ENJOY

***PS...FYI for STAR VALLEY AREA...I will be in Star Valley the 19 & 20, so if you are interested in booking a shoot for then, the travel fee will be waved, and I MAY just give you a SWEET deal...***

A little texture...(yeah, I NEED A NEW TEXTURE...but I love it!)

Some vintage...Isn't this just so precious?!

This one is WAY CUTE in color too...

I don't know why, but I really love this one. I think it's adorable!

A little something different with the color...

This is the same as in the other post, but in color. I like it colored too...

(*edited*) More "B" and "K" Fun

Alright, so I thought I would post some of the "fun" we had while doing this shoot. I know I'm posting a lot of pictures...and there will be another post...but let's be honest..I need more shoots! So, if you're in the area, and want to help me with my boredom..GIVE ME A CALL!!! Anywho. I just laughed at some of these pictures. How can you not?!? "B" has such an attitude, and "K" is such a good big sister. These are just some of the funny ones...

This one is way cute. I love "B"s cheeser!

I'm sure many moms will get this, but "B" would sit there and say "CHEEEEESE!!" and not even smile or look at the camera. So funny!

She really wasn't having fun...so she started dancing...

I love this pic of "B". Lol, she is so funny.

lol...sorry, couldn't resist. it's too cute!

Love the ones of them walking away holding hands! This one is just cute! :)
