Ink Me.







I’m passionate. And invested.

 My life is whirlwind, but capturing photos – moments frozen in time – permits an invested exploration of each passionate moment, so I can look life in the face, look at it all together in context.

 Photography slows (my) life down and lets it tell its story. Im also a people-lover and tend to photograph people whose passions move and inspire me. I photograph them doing what they love and capture them as they are:

 Whole. Complete. Complex. 

I want their personality to infuse the whole shot. 

 Because a single word, one sentence, even a well developed paragraph is never enough to fully capture the essence and vitality of a person-a photograph, worth a thousand words, is the best way I have to tell their story, express their emotions – 

 speak their language.

Well everyone, this semester has come to a close, finally. I have worked harder the past five months, than I have my entire college career. I have learned so much and have really pushed myself in more directions than I thought I could handle. But it was great. And even through all my bitching, I loved it.
I want to thank everyone who helped me with my photos this semester. You guys really inspire me to be the photographer I am. I love capturing all these moment in time, and holding them there for you forever. I cant thank all of you enough for the constant support that you show me as I build myself in this industry. I am constantly checking how many people are looking at my pictures, and it amazes me the amount of supporters I have. You guys are so awesome. It means the world to me. 

This is my final portfolio. Cody, Jessica, Redd, Jake, Clarissa, and Kristin thank you, for sitting for me and for bringing this portfolio together.

Enjoy.

Twinsies.


One of the last assignments of this semester was to duplicate a shot. The idea was to help us look at a lighting technique, and duplicate it. That way we start to see how pictures are being taken. We dont have to see the light set up, to know how they set up their shot. One of my friends has an uncanny resemblance to Haylie Duff. We managed to make them look pretty similar. She was a good sport and duplicated how she looked better than I could have hoped. Enjoy.
