happy february ♥

Hey, sweet friends!  My apologies for barely posting this past month - I have a few spare moments today so I'm aspiring to prepare some Clicked and Captured posts for the coming week, since I've been lacking so much lately.  I'm also thinking it's time for a fresh look...we'll see how far I get there.

These shots are of Megan, taken a few weeks ago.  They are so far from perfect, but I love them. They're still beautiful.




she came up with this on her own....promise <3

 



.Hope you're having a lovely February...stay warm! ♥  (Not sure about you, but I'm so looking forward to spring!)

with love,

a little heads-up

Hey, lovely girls,

First off, the Something Beautiful finalists have been posted on Rachel's blog!  She chose her favorites from everyone who participated...Head over here to see which of your photos she chose.  The judges - Allie, Emily, and I - will e-mail in our two favorite photos, and then Rachel will post the winners soon.  I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to pick from such a lovely bunch of photos...Your work amazes me.  Off you go, now!

Actually, hold up a minute.  Kindly look right at the little poll on my sidebar - "What would you like to see here on Clicked and Captured in the future?"  I have several posting ideas in mind, but they'd be pretty darn pointless if no one was gaining anything from them. So, what do you want to see?  Tutorials? Just more of my photos in general?  If I had a photo-challenge, contest, or weekly photo-link up, would you join?  Please let me know through the poll, and I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments section as well.

Oh, and about the whole Imgur photo-hosting thing, most of you could see my photo just fine, but a few couldn't.  I've gone back (for the time being) to hosting my photos through blogger.  This being a photography blog and all, it would be a wee bit pointless if some people couldn't see my pictures.  Just sayin'.

Have a lovely rest-of-weekend, sweet friends!

Love,
-Hannah

something beautiful contest ~ change and reminder

UPDATE:  Rachel still hasn't posted the photos, but says she will tomorrow (hopefully).  I'm still getting questions as to what her blog address is.  The link is below.  I will notify all of you when she has them posted, don't worry.  Thank you.

I got a few questions yesterday about the end of the Something Beautiful Photography Contest that I'm helping to host.  I contacted Rachel, and she informed me that the contest is now running until the 22!  She says that she will post the photos (her favorite from each entry) sometime on the 22 or 23.  You can find her blog here.  No, I do not believe that there is an exact time the day ends.

From there, the judges (one of which is yours truly) will select the winners, which I presume will also be posted on Rachel's blog.  I'll inform you if I'm wrong.

If you haven't entered Something Beautiful, I'd so love it if you could join.  Just read the guidelines and give me your link on this post.  I'm sure you have four favorite flower photos lurking around somewhere - why not share 'em with us? And to those of you who have enter so far - I've been literally blown away!

Thankfully I had my laptop with me when it happened ;)

Love ya,

Goodbye, my Dears {for now, at least}

On my main blog, I've posted about our vacation to Virginia that my family and I are taking {you can about read it here}. I'll be leaving today for a blissful ten days in Williamsburg, at the beach, with my wonderful  family and our friends.  Ahh, I'm looking forward to this.

I shall be taking my laptop along, but most likely will not be using it much.  If I feel the urge (and I'm almost sure I will) I'll edit some of photos that I'll take while I'm there, and I shall probably be inclined to share some of my work with you:-)  If not, it simply means all the more photos for when I return;)

So, goodbye, my dears!  I shall hopefully be seeing you soon rather soon.  {You can also check for updates on my main blog, which I hope to give every once in a while during our trip.}

MuCh LoVe,
~Hannah

A Word of Thanks...:-)

In the past five weeks since its opening, Clicked and Captured has grown (in my opinion) enormously:).  I now have over thirty-four followers, and an abundance of comments on every post.  A couple of days ago I spent the night at a friends house.  A few minutes before I left, I published my last post...and when I checked my blogger account upon arriving home the next day there were no less than 11 comments waiting for me!  It simply made my day, as that's quite a lot for this little blog of mine.

I would like to thank each and every one of you readers, commenters, followers, and supporters...because, frankly, you guys are awesome:-)  Thank you for helping my blog grow so quickly, and for being the inspiration that you are.  I know that you'll always be there to tell me which picture was your favorite, to let me know if something was helpful, to ask me question after question. 

And that just means so much to me.

Love and Blessings to you,
~Hannah

Welcome to "Clicked and Captured"

Where do I begin?  What can I say?  Many of you already know me from my main blog, and my photography from the pictures I post there.  I've wanted to have a photography blog for a long time - and summer seemed like the right time to start.  I'm excited all over - about how nice the design and header turned out, about the pages I finally finished writing (I'd love for you do check them out!), and about the photos that I'm going to have lots of fun posting here.

More pictures to come soon; In the mean time, like I said, please read through my pages, follow me (only if you want to, though, of course!), and all that good stuff. :-)

Many Blessings,
~Hannah
