Miss Alexis

A few weeks ago i had the pleasure of shooting the beautiful Alexis Bednarick for her senior portraits. She wanted images that weren't the stereotypical senior photos. We played around with a few different outfits in downtown Charlotte and i was especially excited to work with her gorgeous purple/red tinted hair! 

Congratulations on your senior year Alexis!

I (heart) Colorado!

Last week i traveled to Denver, Colorado to go on a few job interviews. My fiance is stationed in Colorado Springs, so in an effort to be closer to him i am planning to move! And of COURSE i had to visit him :)
I love Colorado, the views, the people, the city and clean air! I cannot wait to call this place home soon. Here are some images i snapped while traveling around.

ENJOY!

Print Portfolio

Sorry it has been so long! I was away working hard finishing up my internship and school.

But i am back in action now!

This is my final printed portfolio book/case from my College Critique/Graduation in July. I am totally in love with how personal and handcrafted it is. I worked very hard to keep the same vibe and feel through out all of my work and also in my branding.

This beautiful portfolio book was made by SCOTT MULLENBERG and i printed the images myself. My logo was created by my wonderful friend and graphic designer ELIZA VON HAGEN.

You can view my full portfolio of images on my newly launched site HERE.

ENJOY!

A little California Portfolio

A few weeks ago while talking to my mentor Priscilla, I jokingly mentioned i wanted to shoot some portfolio in California. Not thinking i would even have the chance to, Pri was immediately interested in helping me out. She helped me develop a story and look, Pulled all her strings to help acquire a model and a MUA/Hair girl. The shoot was one of the best experiences of my photo life! Pri assisted me during the shoot and helped direct when i couldn't find the right words (even got surfers to get in on some shots!). I learned so much and feel so confident in what I'm doing now. The model, Faith Bentley, was wonderful! We all had great female chemistry together and i got everything i wanted out of the shoot. I feel so lucky to have gotten this opportunity, and to know that my mentor sees something in me that is worth working with. All i can say is THANK YOU, Seriously!

I am not posting many of the images as i want my portfolio to be a bit of a surprise towards the end of the summer. But here is a few images to tide you over.

Photographer/Stylist: ME
Assistant/Director: Priscilla Gragg
Model: Faith Bentley
Hair/MUA: Shrae Stanford

Shot in La Jolla/Pacific Beach, CA

California: Pacific Beach

Its been about a month into this internship and i am loving it here in San Diego, CA. This area and California is everything i thought it would be. It is sunny and breezy nearly every day, the scenery is amazing as well. The people here are very laid back and cool. Over the weekend i decided to take a few photos at Pacific Beach (or called PB here), which is in walking distance of where i am living. I really wanted to show some of the little things at the beach along with my favorite spot under Crystal Pier. Hope you enjoy
