Family portraiture (fall themed)

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely little family.
It was a rather cold, wet and dreary morning. Nonetheless, we made the best out of it and I must say- the pictures turned out warm and full of beautiful colors!
Here are some of my faves...

Senior Session with family!

A few weeks ago I visited my family in my home state of WI. I love going back home to were I was born and raised! It's calming and makes me happy.
Anyhow, I took my sister's and my neice's Senior portraits! We shot at Lake Michigan and it was a super nice and sunny day out. It's a truly scenic place. Especially enjoyable since the spot we occupied didn't have much traffic at all so we took our sweet time. Always a good thing when you don't have to worry about accidentally shooting passers-by! LOL

Anyway, enjoy!

The sun was a little distracting, but we did what we could by using my California sunbounce as both a reflector and shade at certain times. I love beach settings!
Stay tuned for more photo sessions to come!
Thanks for reading!

Urban fashion shoot

These are from earlier this year but I totally forgot that I never shared them on here.
They are from an Urban fashion workshop I participated in. I loved this workshop and everything about it, from the models to the location to the styling to the makeup!

If you ever get the chance to participate in a workshop or have talented photographers around you, I would definitely recommend it! I've learned SO much from these workshops and will continue to attend them when I can.
So here are a few of my shots!

She is...my baby sister! ;)
All grown up already! I know it's cliche to say, but they grow up so fast!!

Here are a few shots from her session. It was a super windy day, I'm surprised her hair stayed tamed, lol.

Be on the lookout for a few more Senior sessions to come! Thanks for viewing!

graffiti photoshoot w/ Loni

So I have been searching for a safe graffiti wall/building to shoot at. I finally found a great place!

It was a shut down motel and the entire structure was graffitied. It looked pretty dang awesome!

Here are some images from the shoot! It was a lot of fun!
