Busy Busy Busy

What a weekend! It's been nonstop but also packed with fun so I guess the outcome could be a lot worse than me just being tired.

I reshot my whole exit show. I had a little breakdown last week when I realized that my prints could be so much better if I had another camera so I borrowed a friends (Thanks Emily!!!) and had to reshoot 8 different pictures of each of my parents for my show. I don't think I've said yet but I'm making comparative portraits of my parents that will hang right next to each other. I've put an example at the end of this post just so you can see. I have to make the final cut this week because I got to push my framing date back a week. That means this week I'm going to printing like a maniac.:)

Other than that Friday I saw two movies: Dear John, and The Bounty Hunter. I wasn't really sure how to feel about Dear John. I wasn't impressed or disappointed so I'm still not really sure what I thought of it. I loved The Bounty Hunter. I really like both the main actors so that might have had something to do with it but it was a lot better than I expected from the previews. I thought it was going to be one of those movies where all the good parts are on the preview but there were more than that so that's always good.

I hope everyone else had a great weekend and count on a post later this week or earlier next weekend of cruise pictures! I haven't even looked at them yet. I've been saving it as a reward for finishing my show on time.:) Have a great week!

By the way, does anyone else have a bad case of the Mondays? I sure do.:/




By the way these are way desaturated compared to the prints.

Last week to get myself in GEAR!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post a little something to say that I'm definitely going to be MIA this week due to everything for my show having to be ready to go to the framers on friday. I'll probably be in the lab every spare moment I get. However, I did want to say that I had a blast on my cruise and took tons of pictures so probably sometimes this next weekend I'm going to be posting some of them. Hope everyone had a great week and I'll be in touch soon!

March Already?!

Well no website yet but I'm still working on it...

As for now, I can't believe it's already March. That means my exit show is only a month and a half away! I got some pictures framed this weekend which really made it real for me that this is coming and going to be here a lot sooner than I thought.

I came home this morning and was in my bathroom cleaning up some stuff and looked up at my window and just thought the light was beautiful and decided to take some pictures to share. Hope everyone had a great weekend and have a fantastic week!

This one has my typical crooked tilt...:/ But I just loved the light coming in and how it was blue and yellow at the same time.



P.S. The next blog update will be some pictures from my cruise!!!

Snow Day!

So much for a post a week! Haha I am seriously trying to do better. This week I've been all about creating a website for myself. I've started applying for jobs and there's a few creative ones that of course want to see a portfolio so I figured it was about time to get myself a website up and running. It's in process right now but I'm hoping by the end of February I'll have one posted on here for people to go visit.

As for today in Athens we got a little snow. I put on my marshmallow coat and rainboots and trekked out there around in it to get some pictures to remember it by and also to post on here. Hope you all are enjoying the weekend and possibly a snow day!

The trees were so beautiful!

Strobe Testing

So this past weekend I was working on my Exit photography project and I had checked out a strobe light to use for some of my pictures. I've never used the kind I checked out before so I had to set it up and figure it out and since my model wasn't home I took the opportunity to take some fun self portraits. Here they are:
More to come:)

Long Time No POST!

Wow it's been a long time since I posted. I'm in the process of making a website so I've been getting a bunch of pictures together to put on there so I decided I could share some on here that I took over the summer since it's been so long.

My cousin Kelsey is a make-up artist and she's brilliant. Here's her website: http://makeupbykelsey.com/ Over the summer we did a shoot and here are a few of the pictures that came out of it.

Megan was gorgeous. I loved the ring pop shots.

We did a bunch of jumping shots too. She was such a good sport.

This is my sister. She looked like a completely different person!



I love the intensity in her eyes!




I loved that I got one of her laughing. She has such a beautiful smile!



Well that's all for now! Hope you enjoy and hope everyone is having a great holiday season!
