Life as Pink Einstein

Summer is the perfect time to break out the Polaroid camera which is exactly what I have done. My Polaroid has gone everywhere with me this summer and I love taking pictures with it. By this point in the summer I have gone through numerous boxes of film and now the pictures are starting to pile up on my desk. I came up with a few ways to store/ display them so they aren't just laying around.

   I really found my love for photography when I was on the yearbook staff in middle school. I loved going to football games or school plays and taking thousands of pictures in hopes of snapping one or two good ones that would make it into the yearbook. After realizing how much I enjoyed photography I got a camera for Christmas and was ecstatic!    I've shared some of my photos on the blog before but I don't share them as often as I would like. I was going through some of my old photos and found these that I never shared but had a ton of fun taking. These were taken at my cousin's house and I definitely recommend you check out her blog , her photography is stunning! 

A few weeks ago McCray and I were searching the internet for cute pumpkin patches in our area. We were a little upset when the only thing we found were weird pumpkin farms that were too far away. One day at school we heard about a new pumpkin patch in town and it was said to be super cute. We were so excited to go and take cute picture we planned a day and last Saturday we went! 

On Saturday my little sister got a pug! She named him Bud which I'm not too fond of but he is adorable so it doesn't really matter! I posted a video of him on my Instagram story (@PinkEinstein) and everyone seemed to love it so I thought I would share some pictures of him! Prepare yourself for the cuteness!!

Last week my family decided we wanted to squeeze in one last vacation before we started school on Monday. We packed our bags and left for Colorado on Tuesday afternoon. We have never gone on vacation just the five of us just for fun before and we thought Colorado would be nice because it isn't a million degrees there like it is in Texas.

As most of you know, I recently had foot surgery and am unable to take pictures until I get better. Before surgery I didn't get around to writing any Fourth of July posts so today I am going to be sharing my posts from last year for you to refer to as well as some of my OOTDs that would also be good for the Fourth!

Happy Wednesday! In every photo shoot for every good picture there are five awful pictures and today I am sharing the awful ones! Enjoy!

I know this is a day late but I had trouble with my computer yesterday. I just wanted to tell everyone happy Easter and share some pictures from my Easter photo shoot! If you follow my Instagram you have seen some of these on my feed in the past few weeks. My family and I went down to the lake by my house and took some Easter pictures with my bunny, Mr. Beasley! The shirt I am wear is the Jadelynn Brooke Sun's Out Buns Out shirt and you can get it and any other shirt off their website for 15% off using my code SLMHS17. And if you want to see any of these pictures larger, you can click on the picture.

Today's post is a little bit different that usual. Last week in my technology class I had to do a photography project showcasing small objects. I had to take ten pictures showcasing the detail of small items and I thought I would share some of them!

Christmas lights are one of many of my favorite things about Christmas time and this year we actually put up some that look really awesome in our front yard. I experimented with my camera to find some cool ways to take pictures of the Christmas lights and I'm here to tell you how you can too!

I went to the pumpkin patch last week and I would have loved to share pictures with you earlier but I haven't had wifi. Our wifi is fixed now so I can go back to my normal blogging schedule. But we had a great time finding the perfect pumpkins. My little sister also had a lot of fun being my photographer in public which was good because she got a lot of really great pictures. I hope you enjoy!

Over Fourth of July weekend we had like an epic blog party! We dressed our sisters up and made them be models in our photos and we took the dogs out and took pictures of them and we also visited the other animals and had them as models (which you will see in future posts). So today I'm sharing some pictures of Ike that I took one of the days we took him out for pictures. My cousin  Penny  takes pictures of him a lot and you can find them on her Instagram @pennythewriter.

Every Fourth of July my family and I go up to visit my cousins and this year was by far the best experience! Now that my cousin and I are older we can go out and kinda do our own thing which is pretty awesome. The cousin I'm talking about is Penny from  Faith Has Made . We are both really into photography and blogging so besides sleeping, obsessing over Merlin and watching movies, we spent our time taking cool pictures of her adorable animals and our adorable little sisters. On the Fourth of July I thought that I would do some research on Pinterest to see the best way to take firework pictures and most of the blog posts were no help at all so we ended up experimenting to see what settings would make for the best firework pictures and I am going to share our secrets with you.

So if you have been a Little Einstein from the beginning you might remember the two cringe worthy collabs that I did with my cousin, Penny, who used to be Daughter of the King but is now  Faith Has Made  two years ago. Last year I wasn't able to go to her house due to surgery but I did this year and we are back with another collab! We kinda had to improvise with what we had around her house because we weren't able to go to the store to get things but this year's collab is pretty cool. So we are both really into photography and we thought it would be fun to do a photography collab; my post is a DIY camera filter and her post is a DIY camera strap.

So it's spring break and I went to the lake again only this time I brought the big camera lens and my dogs and it was a very enjoyable day!

A few weekends ago, my dad, grandma, and I thought we would go to the lake near our houses for me to do some photography. This was my first time in about a year that I have gone out and taken pictures on a nice camera like the one I own now. It was actually a pretty successful day and by the end I had jogged my memory and remembered how to work a camera. I thought it would be fun to share some of the pictures I took with you guys.

This weekend I am visiting my cousins and we always catch turtles for the Fourth of July turtle race but this year we caught them for fun!  My cousin and sister set them up to have a turtle race.
