Faceless

My birthday was last week! I am now 24 years old. 

And for my present I asked Ryan if he would take photos with me. It's otherwise difficult to have him take photos with me, but if I pull the birthday card, he feels obligated! Trapped him. My sister took these and I love how they turned out. Very autumn-y. 

Here are a few of my favorite faceless shots. I'll share more when I get all of the photos.

Maternity Sesh

I did my friends' maternity photos this weekend! They so cute. 

Look at all of them on my website!  

Senior Photos

Emilio and I took some photos last night for our lighting class, so I snuck in some senior portraits. It was so fun! I'm not sure which one I'd like to use for my graduation announcement. Graduation plans are going a bit more smoothly. Every day of this week I've felt nervous and anxious, due to all of the crap I have to do. Stress!! But I had a meeting with my teacher yesterday which has calmed me down a bit. And let's just say that Thanksgiving break won't be much of a break for me. I may be at school just as often, but I'm kind of excited for it?? That's a sign I've chosen the right major.

Regarding Santa

Speaking of that fatty, this is the first year that I want to celebrate Christmas in November. I've always thought that people who listen to Christmas music at the beginning of November were FREAKS. But now I'm thinking that two months of Christmas cheeriness sounds really appealing. The idea for this video came about by Alycia of Crowley Party. Check out her video.  Santa from Beverly Houpt on Vimeo

Help a Brotha Out!

Are you a mother? Please fill out my survey!! I'm making an infographic for my graphic design class based on the responses, so I need a lot! It's a bizarre/fun survey that doesn't require any personal information. It would be awesome if you passed it along as well :)

Thanks so much <3

Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta

Last weekend we went to the Balloon Fiesta. It was my first time attending, and unfortunately, due to the windy weather, not very many balloons launched off. It was still pretty incredible to be that close to these huge balloons.The weather conditions of the weekend before were friendlier to the hot-air balloons. We missed out, but at least we got to spend time with family. 

(These last two photos were taken from my sister-in-law's facebook.)

In other news, I haven't been updating this blog as frequently. This is because of school. I'm constantly at school working on projects. I'm going a little crazy just thinking about my senior art show. So you can probably expect more blog posts in December, after I've graduated. I'm rather enjoying this blog hiatus. It feels so liberating, strangely.
