Photo of the Day // A Beautiful Storm II

Another shot of the wicked sky Sunday night, the result of a disastrous set of tornadoes in Joplin, MO. I'm sure by now most of you have seen or heard of the damage in Joplin and it truly is a devastating time for Missouri. There are several groups set up that are accepting donations and time, anything would be greatly appreciated and donated directly to disaster relief.

Photo(s) of the Day//Record Store

These are all photos taken by me of my boyfriends record store Stick It In Your Ear! This is one of my favorite places to be in the world. Its filled with thousands of beautiful records at your fingertips! I love that no matter whats really going on in the world of music, this place keeps it alive and as meaningful as ever. Theres no better sound than the crackle of an old record being played, and no better feeling than holding a tangible object of someone elses dream.

Photo of the Day//Baby Love

Baby Eli, my nephew, and my sister Sarah came to visit me tonight! Isn't he cute??

Shortly before this photo was taken Sarah was changing his diaper and he peed right in between her legs.

He peed her pants.

These things happen when your a mom. I won't become one any time soon.

Tomorrow is Friday which means I'm waking up at 5 to watch The Royal Wedding. Yes I am. I can't wait to see her dress! Then its the weekend:) Any fun plans?

Photo of the Day//My Kitty, Rosta

This is my Kitty-Cat, Rosta! I actually named him when I was 12 after the Rasta Grill in Austin, Texas. I didn't know about the whole rastafarian thing yet...

So that clears that up.

All of my "Photo of the Day" photos are taken with my Canon EOS 50D-standard lense and are lightly edited on my computer. Usually just high contrast and focusing are added to the image. I added a vignette and desaturated this image to give it a cozy look.

I've never been super into pet photography but have recently stumbled upon some really inspiring and creative photos of pets.

Do you have a favorite pet photo or pet photographer? I'd love to see!

Photo of the Day//Family Love

This photo of my sisters pretty family was taken Easter weekend at my moms house there's a ton more cute ones but this one is my favorite. Fun Fact: Tuesdays are my favorite day:) Happy Tuesday!

Photo of the Day//Anti-Abortion Nazis

I found this while visiting my sister about an hour away from Spingfield, Mo I thought it would make for very powerful photos. It is a graveyard for aborted babies. It is impossibly disrespectful. Kudos to you small town, Missouri.
