Tale as Old as Time

Tonight was our third performance of Beauty and the Beast! I can't believe it is almost over. It makes me sad! These past couple weeks have been so much fun! We put on this amazing show in just 2 short weeks!
I have made some great friends and really learned a lot about the makings of a play. I wish all of you could see it! We have a great cast! A great dance number for 'Be Our Guest' and 'Gaston'- my two  favorites!
Man it has been so fun! I don't want it to end!!

Have a good weekend,

Beach Pics

Hello! Man this past week has been crazy, but without further ado- here are the pictures from the beach! We went with some of our friends for my mom's birthday. We all had a really great time! It was fun laying out and getting a good tan, going out for dinner, watching sunsets. Ahhh. I could live there.

When we go to the beach we like to take a 'break' from lying around and we go take walks down the beach. There was a man that built sand sculptures and when we took a walk each day he would have a new sand creature built. It was awesome! We talked to him and it turns out that he is a retired Cop. haha. Who would have thought?-- not me!


The mermaids were especially neat!

I just love shells. And pictures of feet... odd, but I do. So I took a picture of my feet In shells!
Here is a pictures of us all dressed up for dinner :)

Afterwards we walked down to the beach to watch the sunset. -This was not a posed picture. I love it when that happens!! Cute mother-daughter moment :)


I can't decide if I like this picture... but I though it was interesting. What do you think?

There is nothing like a Siesta Key sunset!

Enjoy your summer days,

Bubble :)

Yes, I am still alive. This week has just been much crazier than I had anticipated. I am still working on editing pictures from the beach. I have done over half of them, but I want to post them all at once. I hate waiting so long after fact to post them, but...
Lately I have been rehearsing every day to be in a play at a local theater in town. We are doing Beauty and the Beast. I have been having a lot of fun with it. We have a great cast! If you live near me you should come see it. The performances are next weekend the 10th-12th. I think you would really enjoy it!
So to tie you over until I can get the rest of the pictures done... here is a picture of me blowing a bubble. Me and some of my friends were goofing of- taking funny pics and I thought this one turned out pretty cool! :)



How is your summer??

Pictures soon!!

 I'm really excited to start editing pictures from the beach soon! I think I got some good ones:)
But the editing will have to wait until tomorrow. We got home earlier tonight and I just need some chill/unpack time. So, I'm sorry my friends... you will have to wait!
Until then,
Maddy K :)

Hey!

Hello, faithful followers!
Have I mentioned that I am at the beach? Well I am, and as of Monday I have been absorbing the Florida sun. Ah, such bliss. My mom, me and some of our friends came down for the week to celebrate my mom's birthday. So far the weather has been marvelous!
Since this is the beach and quite a hoppin place to take pictures I will try to post some as soon as I get back!

Enjoy the beginning of your summer as well,
Maddy K.

Love Stands Out Concert

On Thursday Night I went to a Wayne Kerr Band Concert for their world tour for their new Album- Love Stands Out. The concert was held at a local school and you got a free CD upon entry. I'm usually not a huge concert person, but over time I have grown to love them. I was oober pumped about this one because I had heard the band several times at a Youth retreat I had gone to. Their songs are great, and they do a great job making worship songs modern. There wasn't a ton of people at this concert because it was mainly just for our church, so not only did I get a front row seat, but afterward we got to hangout with Wayne Kerr and the band. We got autographs and pictures. It was really fun!

I was close enough to just stand on my tip-toes ans snap a picture.

This picture was taken by Wayne Kerr from the stage. Me and my friends are up front. Out hands spell out 
W-A-Y-N-E-K-E-RR-!-! It was great :)

There is us afterwards with the Wayne Kerr Band!
-my friend on the end got them to autograph her face. haha!

And here we are hanging out with RAZ- base guitar and Noland- guitarist... I'm not sure where the drummer went. They were hilarious though :)

So, there you have it. The Wayne Kerr concert in a nutshell. I've been jamin to the tunes from his new CD. Love it!
Have a fantastic Weekend,
Maddy K.

Film IS fun!

A few other photographers and I went downtown to photograph a model. She is gorgeous and we had fun with the different dresses she brought to wear.
This is my first roll of film that got sent off to the lab. I am very pleased with the results! I did absolutely nothing to these pictures- no editing, cropping- nothing. I wanted you to experience with me first hand the wonders of the lab!

We started inside:


---This is the picture (above) I entered into a contest. It was picked to be in the group of finalists.---



Then we headed outside after she changed into my favorite dress. I love the colors in it:
