I have been tagged by two amazing photographers to list 5 interesting things about me! The really sad part is that I don't think I am really that interesting at all! The first photogapher to tag me was my dear Aussie Photog friend, Kristen. You should really go and check out her work here... http://kristencook.com.au. She has such a fun and carefree style that I just adore. And I can atest to the fact that she is one of the sweetest people I know. I hope that one day we can plan a trip to Oz to visit her homeland... and best of all to finally meet her! The second photographer to tag me was the super talented Raye Law. She does these amazing outdoor sessions in the most beautiful fields. I love that sun kissed look that she captures. Definitely go and see her work as well... www.rayelawphotography.com.
Here are the rules:
- Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog
- Share 5 things about yourself that others might not know
- List 5 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs
- Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs
My 5 interesting things:
- Photography is not my only career. I am actually a pharmacist full-time and spent many years in school studying. I love my regular day-time job but feel so lucky that I have found such a passion for photography. It definitely helps to fulfill that creative side of me that seemed to be lacking before. I certainly feel like I have the best of both worlds!
- I have this weird phobia of drinking the bottoms of my drinks. Just ask my husband, it drives him crazy when I won`t finish all of my drink but leave just a little bit in the bottom. He always grumbles if he is cleaning up after me and finds glasses around the house with just a little bit of liquid left!
- My husband and I have a secret, silly language and, sometimes, we forget we have funny little names for things until others overhear us and laugh at us. The secret language includes nick names for each of us along with our two dogs. He is Daddy-Locks... I am Kee-Locks... Bailey is Boo-Locks, and Kahlua is Lua-Locks (I really can`t believe I am writing this on my blog... I really hope my husband doesn`t see this... LOL!) My family just loves it at Christmas time when they are handing out presents and aren`t sure who the gift is for... yeah, they think we are pretty silly too!
- I have an obsession with decorating and the bad part is that my style changes quite often which can be very expensive! The only TV I watch is HGTV or TLC... love those house flipping shows and makeover shows. I also have a secret desire to become an interior decorator as well... I wonder if I could add that to my list of professions!
- I am building a new home... which is fulfilling that strong desire to redecorate! I get to start out with a blank slate so it has been so much fun planning and imagining the final product. The only bad part is that I get so many ideas from the TV shows and magazines and then when I go to find the products for my own house, I discover they are not readily available or they are not practical. I had my dream kitchen in mind, only to learn that marble is a terrible choice for a countertop (I think I even cried.... ``Nooooooo``... when the sales lady told me).
I am tagging 5 great photographers who I get great inspiration from on so many different levels... Jennifer Adams (the girl who does bright colours so well!), Jillian Kirby (who adores newborn photography), Jennifer Lane (who is so fun and captures the carefree nature of children so well), Amanda Elkins (who I gain a great deal of inspiration from... I love her warm rich tones... her photos just seem so ultra chic), and Sarah Gardner (she is so creative and fun... I love how whimsical her photography is).
oh wow thank you so much for tagging me, I will definately get my tag done soon!

haha these are great, I love reading the little facts about people that I would otherwise never know. The phobia of emptying the glass is too funny!
