I’m Emma Vogelsang, just an ordinary girl in the suburbs of America, and I believe in… memories heart-to-heart talks family knowing the art of homemade bread sweaters early mornings coffee with lots of sugar eyes that smile trying new things words that are simple and honest evergreen trees reading (lots of it) being silly going barefoot eating cookie dough the color blue summer living simplicity bookstores genuine laughter cups of tea (preferably peppermint) capturing small moments impromptu get-together with friends Jesus “I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, and fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural . . to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.” ― Elbert Hubbard

It has been awhile since I picked up my camera so I fashioned a wreath of flowers and grabbed my sister to pose for me. Every time I take 20+ pictures I see where I have grown and what I need to work on. I didn’t edit these pictures at all mainly, because I do not have wonderful software. I am amazed how far I have gone with manual settings, but in a lot of the pictures I was not paying attention to the composition or the position of her hands. Also a few need to have sharper focus. But all in all it went great and is is so awesome to have sisters! Thanks Ana for being the best model ever!
