Pretty in Pink

So, Jena & I had tried to do a shoot a while back and it never worked out. I was beyond THRILLED when it finally worked out. I can't say enough lovely things about Jena. She is so beautiful and sweet. I'm literally obsessed with her pink hair; I love it so much! She is such an awesome model and has such a kind spirit. Can't wait to work more with her in the future! I'm breaking the photos up into 2 blog posts because I have THAT many that I love and I'm anxious to post these! I honestly can say that I am so satisfied with these photos. I actually feel proud of them, and that hasn't happened in a while. Enjoy!

First Breath of Fall

I felt inspired by the autumn air today.

September Weather

These photos are dedicated to Hannah only because she begged me to take photos today ;)

Ansley

Ansley is a good friend of mine from Atlanta & she came down for the weekend, so we got to squeeze in a shoot! 

Summer Evenings

Two of my bestest friends move soon. Ginny leaves this Friday & I'm sad but so excited for her at the same time. We've been trying to squeeze in every moment we have left together and thankfully we've gotten to :) I'll miss her a lot but I know God has big plans in store for her off at college! I love you Gigi! 

Self Portrait Therapy

Most photographers that started out as self portrait artists and branched out to other things can relate when I say that self portraits become therapeutic in a sense. I sometimes get so lost in my own world when I am photographing myself. I am so focused on the idea in my head and how to execute it. The thing about self portraits is that you can portray the photo exactly as you imagined it. You can portray the emotion behind the idea. It works out in your favor. Self portraits help me a lot when I'm in an inspiration rut. (Although a lot of times it can be the opposite.) It can be refreshing and reviving. (I think a lot of this rant/inspiration of self portraits comes from Lexi Mire; an amazingly talented photog.)
