"ALMASON" sneak peek

I got the opportunity to do a photo shoot of my "cousin" Jason and his fiance Alma. I'm too lazy to upload pictures right now, but here's a sneak peek of what's to come! haha.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER

It's January, which means it's still winter!! But yet, God has blessed us with a week of beautiful weather! I couldn't waste it! So of course i made my sister be my model for the day =). Enjoy a few shots i took out of the hundreds.



This next one is a little blurry, but i love it because i was trying to make her laugh.

I was frustrated with how bright the sun was in most shots but this one came out pretty artsy fartsy i must say!

Soldier

Don't have a model to shoot? Use your favorite stuffed animal, or your sisters barbie. As you can see, i used my toy soldier that i won at Scandia. I had an assignment to take multiple photos that tell a story, and like the procrastinator i am...i didn't have time to ask my sister or anyone, so i used my toy soldier.





2 Timothy 2:3-4
"Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier."

Southern California

So I'm glad you still read my blog! Anyways, this past weekend i took a trip down to Southern California with one of my good friends Drea. It was a nice vacation to just get away from the bay area before i go back to school. This was something that was much needed for sure. We did a lot on this vacation such as stay in the dorms at Master's college while visiting a few CBC friends that go there, as well as drive down to San Diego and visit another friend and went to a local church there. So Cal is so much fun, i wouldn't mind living there!! I didn't want to go home! Well, of course i brought my camera so i thought i'd share a few favorite photos.

Tripod & Timer

Recently my family went to Napa to take family portraits. We took about 100 shots, honestly you can do this too! Besides the ones of my parents, I basically set up my tripod and put my camera on timer...simple. Take it into photoshop or any photo editor, click B&W and ta dah! you have a great family portrait!

ALOHA CHINA

Don't worry folks, im still alive! People have been bugging me that i haven't been blogging in a while. Well here i am with nothing much to post. I went to the Aloha Festival with my familia and took a few pictures there. We also went to China Town and i enjoyed taking pictures there because of the buildings, the type, the colors...yeah thats all.

Contest of Champions

Contestofchampions.org

So this past saturday was contest of champions. The all day volleyball tournament for cash price. It was fun, the weather was beautiful. Although i did not play i was the documentation lady throughout the day. So heres a few pictures from that!

Farmers Market

So i only had a 2 1/2 week break off for summer vacation. Yes, it's not that great and i go back next thursday. But anyways my summer vacation didnt really consist of anything too exciting. Yesterday i went to the Farmer's Market with a few friends if that counts as exciting? Haha, well heres some pictures from it.

Children

So if you know me, Alyssa Rae, you must know that i love kids! Oh how i adore children. Someone once asked me what my favorite sound was and i replied "Children giggling" hahaha. But it's true, i love kids and hope to have some of my own someday!

The Princess and I

Liwwa and I

My Bad

Sorry i havent been blogging in a while! Yes, a lot has been happening in the life of alyssarae, but God is in control and i have confidence that he'll provide. Schools coming to an end, but i start back up in july. yay. Oh and also, i lost my job this week, bummer i know. Anyways, heres a picture like i promised...this one was taken at a friends house, i just learned how to make this happen...the key is slooooow shutter speed! enjoy! =)

Julian's Graduation

Julian graduated a week ago. My first college graduation ever attended. Congrats Cal Maritime Academy. Here's some "blog worthy" photos from that day. Notice our lack of shade on the hottest day ever?! Oh and also, we were the only group with posters (coughimadethemcough) and might i add the loudest!

Fair

So there was a fair at the marina in Vallejo. I really wanted to go and take some great pictures, especially at night. We went and i took a few pictures, not fully satisfied. I wish i got more night shots with the lights, but oh well. We only stayed there for like 10 minutes because it was the coldest and windiest day in Vallejo ever!!! Here's a few out of around 50 shots...let me know what you think! The black and whites were really taken in black and white.

Softball

So we had a softball outing for tfc & crossroads this past weekend. So far it has been the highlight of this year. I promise you it was sooo much fun, and everyone played!! What a great joy it was to see all the students just enjoying it all. And praise God for perfect weather that day!!! It wasn't super hot it was pretty much perfect! Of course i brought my camera! Here's some samples:

Long Beach

At night this place would light up with different colors. I called it "Mystery Island" because none of us knew what it was. It's like it came to life when the sun went down. Just imagine the sky pitch black and all you see is this island lit up with blues, reds, and purples.  I wish i took a picture at night time to show you but this is all i have of "Mystery Island", a picture taken from the car.

The second picture was taken outside our window on the 16th floor at the Westin Hotel. It's just a picture of Long beach and to me it shows just how lively the city can be with all the different buildings. And i didnt want to touch up the photo because i wanted to show the beauty of air polution...haha.
