Pennant Banner DIY

I was given this project on Monday for a wedding shower my boss is decorating for this weekend, and was so excited to get started. I have seen pennant banners all over Pinterest but never made one for myself. I know that there are plenty of DIYs on how to make these all over the internet, but I wanted to do a step by step tutorial of how I assembled mine! Also, I had no idea that Hobby Lobby carried pre-cut burlap and canvas triangles! Who knew?!

Weekend fun!

This weekend my best friend came back to Cypress! She has been staying in Waco this summer taking spanish in summer school, and it was good to be reunited! Trying to stick to my plan of taking photos daily, I decided to shoot some random photos while we were baking brownies and making friendship bracelets (yes we were making friendship bracelets, so get over it).

Austin Day Trip: June 19, 2014

I took a day trip to Austin, TX with my mom on Thursday and brought along Lenny (my camera, for those of you who don't know). We started our day on South Congress filling up on milkshakes and truffle fries at Hopdoddy, shopped around SoCo, and visited a cute lemonade stand. Then we paid a visit to only the best college there is-- The University of Texas at Austin! We bummed around campus and popped into stores on the drag. I'm pretty sure that the incoming freshman on campus thought that I was a freshman because I was walking around my mom and don't exactly look like a college sophomore, so I had to take some Alpha Phi photos to mark my territory. Anyways, it was a great day with a great person, and I couldn't have had a better time! Enjoy my photos from around the always lovely ATX.

I photographed these photos in the evening because I wanted them to be backlit with a sunny effect and soft lighting, and couldn't have asked for a better turnout. I love these photos! Check out more photos on https://www.facebook.com/maddyhillphotographics !

New Travel Lens!

Today I visited the Houston Camera Exchange with my mom to ask about a weird noise my 24-120mm lens had been making and pick up a card adapter, but came home with a new lens as well! My new baby is an 18-250mm and a crop lens (my camera shoots at such high quality that crop lenses aren't detrimental to quality), and is far more compact than my other lenses. I can't wait to use this lens to capture my family's road trip this July. Welcome to the family, lens #3!

Father's Day 2014

Happy belated Father's Day everyone! I decided to bust out my camera after dinner to get some family shots of the men in my family to look back on over years to come. Thankful for my dad and grandfather!

Brought my good friend Jessica home for Thanksgiving because she couldn't be in California with her family... so naturally we had to do a Thanksgiving photoshoot!
