Can't Wait to Use This Baby!

This is the camera that I had....

Dont' get me wrong, it's a nice camera and takes decent photos.

I just wanted to step it up a little bit!

When my Dad came to visit a few weeks ago, he took some photos

of me with this camera. When we were sitting down at dinner he told

me that he has a nicer camera that he hasn't used in years and asked me

if I wanted it. What do you think I said? Uhh..YES!!

It just arrived in the mail today at work. 

It's a 35mm camera. I love the vintage look of it!

I have heard some really good things about 35mm cameras.

Some people will only stick to a 35mm camera over a digital

and some people who use digital would never shoot with a 35mm.

So we will see....

What kind of camera do you use?

Have you ever used a 35mm camera?

Any tips/suggestions would be helpful!

Wedding Venue: Inspirador

 Two weeks ago my friend Christina and I worked at a wedding with the Photo Booth

The venue we worked at was called the Inspirador

Inspirador is located in the heart of downtown Chandler on Boston Street.

It is described as “hip yet historic” and is a gorgeous venue that is as unique and modern.

It is so simplistically beautifully, that it takes hardly any decor to make this place look amazing.

Each event is tailored to fit exactly what you want.

 You start with a clean slate and create your dream wedding.

The isle of poetry was my favorite feature by far.

As the bride walks down the isle, there are romantic quotes and poetry of all kinds.

I could not get enough of this place! It made me want to get married all over again!

I believe that one of the keys to maintaining peace in your life is to take small steps toward peace every day.

“Behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass.

-Alma 37:6

1. How do you spend your time? You may be trying to do too many things and end up doing none of them well. Hurrying is trying to do more than the Holy Spirit is leading you to do. Try to be led by the Spirit.

2. It's okay to say No at times. Sometimes we take on things we know we shouldn’t, just because we’re uncomfortable saying no. If you feel this pressure, ask God to put your spirit at rest and give you loving words to speak that will take away the unnecessary awkwardness of saying no.

3. Procrastination. It’s the attitude that says I’m going to sit here and wait until I feel like doing what I need to do. But God’s word tells us to exercise self-discipline. Do what you need to do now so you can fully enjoy your times of rest.

4. Eliminate any distractions. If you know you are easily distracted, set some guidelines for yourself. Don’t let them keep you up late at night so you oversleep the next morning and end up setting yourself up for a hurried, stressful day.

5. Set boundaries for interruptions. Life is full of interruptions, but we can learn to set boundaries that help us manage them in healthy ways. Schedule times when you are “off-limits.” Let your calls go to voicemail, turn off your email, and decide to get back to people after your “off-limits” time is over.Take the time to just "be still".

6. Modify your life. Ask God to help you find ways to save time and trouble. For instance, when I don’t have time to do the dishes, I use paper plates. If I don't want to wake up earlier in the morning to iron my clothes, I iron them at night. If I don't want to come home and cook after working all day, I use our crock-pot and dinner is 95% ready when I get home.

7. Listen for the Holy Spirit. If you can see that your plan is not producing peace, go back to God; pray for peace and for wisdom to make changes that will benefit your life.
