Beach Baby

Penny is single handedly responsible for my love for babies. I was honestly grossed out and terrified of babies before I met this sweet little angel. Its already apparent that she has the biggest heart and has the sweetest laugh. Its crazy to she how fast she grows. I took these photos only a few weeks ago, and she's already grown two more teeth since! Seeing how quickly she grows and how much love she radiates really makes me appreciate how precious time is.

Stairways

Here they are! This shoot was such a blast; Johanna and Lilly were gorgeous and modelling seemed effortless to them. It was also interesting because Lilly is also a photographer- super talented. She's already gotten some of her shots in a few magazines! So, there's definitely going to be a few behind the scenes shots later this week. Other than shooting, I've just been super busy preparing for school this fall, working as a maid for the rich and famous, and working on some hot, hot, hot DIYs for you all to enjoy. Yay summertime!

5th and Enoch

This past Thursday I had the opportunity to shoot one of Wilmington's hottest up-and-coming models, Madeline Cimone. It was such a blast; from choosing the outfit, to scaling the Wrightsville Beach bridge. And what a success! The pictures came out great, and it was so awesome getting to work with Madeline. She's such a sweetheart; not to mention amazing at what she does. Here's some shots we got:

Heart Phases

As I was taking this picture yesterday my camera died right after the shutter. I was so disappointed because the rising sun had just peaked over the horizon and made the dew start to glow. It was beautiful; but of course I didn't have time to charge my camera before I had to leave for class. The minute I got home I looked over to the tree and knew it would never be as pretty as it had been that morning. There was something about the light and the fog all mixed together that made it look magical. I went inside and turned on my camera, almost positive there wasn't a picture of it. And here it was! My own little snippet of time that I'll never forget. I was surprised it even came out. Although the picture cannot do it any justice, I still love it. Watching the phases of flowers come and go so quick have reminded me of how beautiful life is; the whole process. Its simply breathtaking.

One Pretty Penny

The other day I had the opportunity to take pictures of Dylan's newest sister, Penny- who is by far the cutest lil thing I have ever seen! It was so fun! Definitely a new photography challenge for me, but I'm so excited to get more photos of that perfect little face. Here's a few shots I was able to snag during Penny's crawling breaks:

Trying to steal my camera!

Further Developments

Loving my film class. Just loving it. Pardon my poor scanning.
They're a little light, but here's some more shots from my first roll:

Villa Verde: Skating's Little Orphan Awesome

Happy As A Clam

I shot and developed my first film pictures this past week all by myself! And I suppose you could say I've become slightly obsessed with the darkroom. I've already decided to turn the future bathroom of my future studio of my future home into my own personal darkroom....I'm just a tad in love...just a tad.

The first two pictures I developed :') To heck if one of them is a little dark.. I'm so excited. More is definitely to come!
