our new contributor from overseas

I've known Alice for several years now. We "met" on a creative team over at ScrapArtist during the times when I was really enjoying digital scrapbook. Sadly ScrapArtist is no longer on the market but luckily Alice and I have stayed in contact over the years. I've always loved Alice's taste for design and photography and I really admire her creativity. And now you can enjoy her creative photography as well.

We have asked Alice to share a little bit about herself:

I'm so honored to be a part of this adventure. Thanks girls for having me over.

:: describe yourself in 5 words 
- creative, cheerful, fun, geek, curious.

:: what is your favorite thing about taking pictures?
- When i was a kid i was always asking my Dad to borrow his camera. I've always loved taking pictures. With my first paycheck (when i was 18, i was an aupair in Oakland Ca) i bought my first ever camera, a nikon F60. With my film camera i was always shooting in auto mode by fear of wasting film. But when i was able to invest in a digital camera back in 2008 i jumped out of auto mode and improved my picture taking skills. What i love about taking photos is to capture a story. I love taking photos of people, not posing, just doing their things. I am the guardian of my family's memories.

:: if you had a superpower, what would it be and what would you do with it?
- to fly so i could visit all the beautiful places in the world. I dream of travelling more. I've already visited the US (San Francisco & New York), Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada), Portugal (Faro & Lisboa), Milan in Italy, London, Quebec, Guadeloupe, but i want to see more.This year i'm starting with Finland. I'm sure i'll have to go back since i'm only there for a week, but that's a start !

:: what are your hobbies?
- well photography of course, scrapbooking (even though i haven't scraped in a super long time !), spending time with my friends and family, shopping new clothes (yeah it's a new hobby of mine since i've lost 40kilos this past year), going to the cinema, cooking,...

::  one random fact about yourself
- i like to eat my ice cream melted ! When i buy icecream i don't put it in the freezer so that it has time to melt when i'm ready to eat it for dessert ! I know i'm a bit of a weirdo ! LOL


Welcome aboard, Alice! We are happy to have you and can't wait to get inspired by your beautiful photography.

I can honestly say, that even after 6 months,  I look forward to every Wednesday to find out what Harmony comes up with for our weekly theme. I always hit the preview button way before the release so I can take a peek at her photo (please don't tell her ;) ). And of course she loves to keep me waiting as long as possible.

We started this blog as an outlet for capturing motherhood through photos. As you have probably noticed, a new contributor has joined our weekly prompts last week. Her name is Krystal and she is really sweet and friendly girl, as you will find out too! And no, she isn't mom but we love having her anyway! She will definitely bring a little bit different approach to our themes and it will make it even more fun!

Welcome aboard, Krystal!

Harmony and I thought it might be fun to let Krystal tell us a few things about herself, so here it goes:

:: describe yourself in 5 words 
- happy, ambitious, inspiring, helpful, energetic

:: what is your favorite thing about taking pictures?
-In high school, I started taking pictures because I was doing so many things that I would forget about the little things in life that were fun and made me happy. Now, ten years later, I am still taking pictures and lots of them! I love to scrapbook, so a lot of my pictures end up in their. However, taking pictures is fun for me because of two things. One, it the main reason I started. I love looking back at photos and remember those moments. I get to share those moments and stories with people who are interested through the pictures I take. Secondly, it's artistic and fun. I love taking pictures with different angles, lighting, exposure, etc. Taking pictures with an artistic mind frame makes it so much more enjoyable.

:: if you had a superpower, what would it be and what would you do with it?
-Is time traveling a superpower? I'm going to go with that because that is what I would choose if I could! How fun (and scary!) would it be to go back in time or forward. Wow- just thinking about it gives me chills.

:: what are you hobbies?
-I have more hobbies than hours in the day. Here are a few: photography, scrapbooking, gardening, school & learning, reading, drinking coffee, writing & journaling, and so much more.

::  one random fact about yourself
-I play the ukulele! And I LOVE it!


I'm really looking forward to see Krystal's photos since now on.  So please help us to welcome Krystal!
