This week was basically my last opportunity to be able to photograph this beauty for an assignment. I used her as my model for Open-ish back in September and after receiving my comments and grade, I definitely knew I could do better, and I wanted to do better. I wanted to able to use thisContinue reading “Finals and Do-overs”

This week we finish up our digital imaging class. Our final project was to create a composite that had a theme to it. My theme was “A Walk in My Shoes.” I based it off the idea of how people who aren’t RCC photo students as well as those who don’t know what it’s likeContinue reading “Final Composite”

I know…the title of this doesn’t really scream the photo I chose but at the same time, it does. At this point in the semester, I kind of feel like I’m doing the same things everyday. Also known as, repetition (in some form or another). While this repetition and seemingly going through the same motionsContinue reading “Repetition”

After doing our in-studio bridal portraits, we got our on-location bridal portrait assignment. I photographed this assignment on Sunday and boy was it interesting. I brought a wedding dress home from school praying it would fit my “bride.” After quite the scare of it potentially not fitting, we got it zipped up and went onContinue reading “On Location Bridals”

While I know we’re technically supposed to shoot new images for our blog posts, I truthfully have not had the time to pick up a camera and shoot just for myself, just for fun. I used to do photos of my dog quite often, and I haven’t had the chance to in awhile. I wasContinue reading “Reminiscing”

This week in our professional portraiture class, we got our on-location high school senior assignment. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to photograph this Pinecrest High School student. She was very easy to work with, was willing to do whatever it took to get THAT shot, and was super sweet. She made my job pretty easy becauseContinue reading “Senioritis”

Just recently, a high school friend got in touch with me about doing her and her boyfriends three year anniversary photos. Hesitantly, I agreed to doing them, making sure she understood that I wouldn’t have them back to her very fast due to school assignments being my first priority. School is stressful enough as is,Continue reading “Sessions on Top of Assignments”

Last week, we got our first bridal portrait assignment. For this assignment we had to shoot in studio, along with some other requirements. I shot this assignment twice because I just wasn’t pleased with what I got the first time. While I’m sure there’s more thing I could perfect from the second time around, I’mContinue reading “Bridals-In Studio”

I always love when our instructors allow us to get a little creative with an assignment. We obviously still have requirements to meet but we’re given a little bit of freedom in those requirements. I also like to have fun with the my subjects whether it be in studio or on location. I love whenContinue reading “Lights, Camera, Action!”
