a fresh face in the theater

A friend of mine who loves performing on the stage through theater asked for me to take some head shots for her. We drove a few minutes from school and found hidden places off the roadside, which were perfect for the shoot. I wish her the best in her pursuit of acting and know that if she puts her all and her heart into it that she will end up somewhere that's just wonderful for her! : )

image class project

These are the results of my fundamental image class project. I focused on going for a more "beauty shot look" and got some great shots. I'm still learning new things everyday about shooting and editing - it makes every photo shoot more exciting then the last. : )

watching the trains...

A photoshoot on New's Years Eve was such a fun way for me to end the year! This family met me in Downtown Fullerton right next to the train station. It was a lovely afternoon and the boys just LOVED seeing the trains go by - overall it was a fun shoot! : )

it's family time

It's that time of year when people are getting their pictures ready to send out to friends and family for Christmas! A few weeks ago I was able to meet up with a little family during my Thanksgiving break and take their first family portraits. We went all around the Orange Circle searching for cute places to capture their family pictures. Overall is was a fun time and I enjoyed being able to photograph their first portraits together. Merry Christmas and Enjoy! : )

headshots

In the theater, a face is everything. It's the first impression a director has of who you are as an actor or actress before any acting begins. I took pictures for a friend of mine for her theater assignment: providing your headshot. At first I was unsure of what exactly is expected in a headshot...must it always be the black and white serious studio pose? No, they don't. : )

It was a fun little shoot and all the pictures came out looking B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! The pictures above are the best of the shoot, the face of a wonderful actress : )

simply stunning

A vintage dress, a necklace of roses and charms, and hair curled and styled...homecoming. My younger sister is such a sport for being my constant model, and once I saw her homecoming ensemble I just HAD to take some pictures. She looked gorgeous and I love being able to add a vintage look to these photos. The first photo reminded me of Vogue or Pride and Prejudice - and I absolutely love it. Thanks sis!

take time to smell the flowers

It's been awhile since i've been able to do portrait shots, so a friend of mine and I went out on our college campus and I got a chance to take pictures for the morning. It felt so great to be able to be behind the lens again and spend time editing and testing out new poses. Thanks to an amazing friend and a beautiful campus I came out with some fun shots. Enjoy : )
