Kayley

I am so excited about these pictures! I had such an amazing time with Kayley last Friday, that I had to start processing the photos that night! It was great to see Kayley again after working with her sister Alyssa a few years back. I even had the opportunity to take some sibling and family photos with them. Kayley is not only very photogenic, she is such a sweet person to work with! She made my job SO easy! :-D Thanks Kayley for a great session and congratulations on graduating in the spring!

"Oh Canada..." | Vancouver 2011

Last year I had a truly wonderful time in Vancouver British Columbia while taking a photography field class through my university. So when I was asked to be on staff this year I jumped at the opportunity to go again! I just returned Monday from what was an amazing experience working with students, staff and faculty. I really enjoyed watching the students' work progress in just one week and loved sharing jokes and moments with everyone on the trip. Oh...and I did get some photos I am pretty excited about!

Blue Box Art | New Etsy Shop

Recently Lianne Bailey, Michelle Bose and I opened up our Etsy shop called Blue Box Art. I have been putting together some videos about the artists and started by working on Lianne's as she is going to be away working at a summer camp all summer long. Lianne is a terribly creative artist and I LOVED photographing and filming her for the video. Here is a sneak peek at some of the photos I took of her work. You can find the video in its entirety here.

Water Water Everywhere | Charity:Water Donation

Where does the time go?! I can't believe it's been almost a month and a half since "Senior Projects Day" when I presented my portfolio of images of water in its different forms. As you may recall, I had created calendars as well as framed prints of my work. Today I was very excited because I was able to take all the money I had collected from the sales of the calendars and donate it to Charity: Water. The total of the proceeds came to $250 which was $70 more than I was expecting originally. If you are interested in buying any of the framed pieces, you can check out our etsy Blue Box Art, which is an online shop that is selling these pieces. The proceeds of the sales of my water photographs will still be donated to Charity: Water!

Class of 2011

It's finals week! Yesterday afternoon, I sent the call out to some of the graduating seniors I know for a study break photo-session. Although I had much more in mind (think adventure out to some mustard fields) we ended up getting a few good shots outside of Marsh Hall. I totally love these and know I will look back at them and smile! Congrats Class of 2011!

Lianne

A while back my roommate Lianne asked me to take pictures of her with her saxophone. She has been playing in band for a long time and now that graduation is coming up she has to return her instrument to the school. So yesterday morning I woke up with a vision of how I wanted to photograph her: in the grass with her saxophone and the setting sun! I was very excited to share this idea with Lianne, who was a lot less excited about having to be out in public with a saxophone on the grass...needless to say, she tolerated my crazy "artist" idea and I LOVE the pictures (below) that came out of her patience with me! Thank you Lianne for being an amazing friend, roommate and model! ;)

Sarah

Today I had the joy of spending about two hours hanging out with the lovely Sarah. A freshmen at my university, she had never had the opportunity to get senior pictures when graduating from high school. So this morning we had a great time roaming the campus on a little photoshoot. Enjoy the photos below -- I think they capture her total cuteness! :)
