Portraits: Cara Walsh

For Cara's portraits, I went back to Howard County Conservancy. This was my favorite shoot that I have done, Cara is absolutely beautiful and the pictures turned out quite lovely! She was really good at modeling, and I was able to get many different shots.

Portraits: Ellie and Emily Okada... Sister Shoot!

This is the first time I've ever done a shoot with two people! I think that they had a good dynamic going, and I got a few nice shots. I liked the location (Howard County Conservancy) and with more exploring, I think I could get a little more out of the location if I ever decide to shoot there again.

Photo Adventures: Henryton

The beloved gem that is Henryton is being torn down.. I am glad I was able to go on one last photo shoot here. It is seriously one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Graffiti covers the walls, paint chips off, windows are broken. It is a huge area with several buildings, but because of safety/health hazards, it is being destroyed. :'(

Check out pictures of Henryton from mostly last summer here..

I will add the film photos I took when I get the film developed and school starts so I can scan them!

Portraits: Sarah McKay

For Sarah's shoot, we went to this retreat center (Bon Secour Spiritual Center). It had a beautiful garden and other scenery. I think this shoot was very successful, I got many varying beautiful shots of her, although we wore out the location after about an hour. I would probably go to the location again though!
