My biggest thing when taking pictures of people is that I have to try to make it as fun as possible for everyone. With Carol and Melanie, it was so easy. We basically had a nonstop conversation through Inglewood, laughing at poses, tumbleweed umbrellas, and throwing leaves at each other. Carol and Melanie are two girls who seriously rock at life and I had the best time photographing them.
The way this family loves and cares for each other warms my heart up by a million degrees, like a cup of hot chocolate on the coldest winter day.
A huge acreage in the outskirts of the city. Some vintage cars. A couple horses. An old barn. Two very attractive people. Lots of care, lots of love. This is what it's all about.
My favourite thing is when a couple looks at each other and you can tell that they are so happy being around each other. Hanging around Katie and Nolan made me so happy.
This past week I got the chance to run a real business with a group for my entrepreneurship class so naturally I decided to run a photography business. I got to spend seven straight days running around and doing shoots. The final count was fourteen shoots in seven days. I am completely drained and finding time to study for the two midterms I had wedged in there as well was really tough, but honestly I could not have been any happier than I was standing behind the camera taking pictures. This week has helped me realize that I am a hundred percent in to this being my future; there is no backup plan right now. I want this to be my life.
This week also made me realize how lucky I am to have the people I know in my life. From my group members to everyone who booked a session this week to everyone who bought a print, I am just overwhelmed with all of the support. Thanks for trusting me and helping me move this dream along.
Here is to the future, and everything that is still to come.
