Family Reunion

Finally! Family Reunion pictures are up. Sorry for the wait everyone!

A month or so ago I got to have a reunion with my Dad's side of the family in Ventura, and what a joy it was. It was so great to see everyone and have them all together, especially to see my Grandmother. I had the opportunity to take some pictures of them fam, and unfortunately some of them got lost in the shuffle, but the majority of them were salvaged and those are the ones you see here. It's definantly a different dynamic working with a large group (especially groups with children! gotta love those kiddos :) ) But it was a great experience.

Big thanks to my boyfriend Chris for actually snapping the group photos since I had to be in them.

And to the Fam- if you want prints or copies of these just let me know, I can get prints for cheap!

Hope you enjoy and love you all!

LOTUS!

Finally, after the end of the session, I am able to post a few of the best shots from an epic Lotus shoot my group and I got to do out at the dry lake bed in El Mirage, CA. I'm convinced it's one of the best places to shoot a car in all of the California. Both of these images were photographed by me, but credit also goes to Narek M, George Pesce, and Rylee Hencley, since the whole production was a group effort. Also special thanks to Mark of Zen Engineering for letting us photograph his car!

Hope you enjoy, and if I get to a chance to edit more you will see more posted.

Fiction Perscription

I am sad to report (at least for me) that this is the last editorial I get to do for my advertising class this session. I have loved these assignments so much that I'm sad to not be able to continue doing them! For the record this has been one of my favorite classes I've taken at Brooks, and am so glad I ended up taking it.

Last Editorial:

Layout inspired by the famous Alexi Brodovich




Thanks to my lovely roommate Natasha for modeling for me last minute!

Mmmm Martinis....

Another editorial....this time we had to work with asymmetrical layouts (as opposed to the symmetrical one I did for my "crazy for cakes" layout). Not sure if its truly asymmetrical, but nonetheless I'm really happy with it and feel like it works well. I haven't done a straight up hot-light product shot in the studios at Mason in sooo long! It felt good. Reminded me how much I love it. Big thanks for Chris (again) for assisting me in the studio and helping me with everything. I have such a great boyfriend :)

Enjoy, and comments as always are appreciated :)

O those sneaky lil' smoothies...

In sticking with my self-assigned food week, I shot another food shot for my advertising assignment that dealt with "perception vs. reality". I thought it'd be cool to play off "healthy" foods that actually aren't so healthy...and one of the ones I think of off the top of my head are smoothies. Some of them have up to 60grams of sugar! Thats two candy bars! Yikes.

I'm beginning to fall in love...hard...with food photography that is. I really, really, really like it. It makes me smile :)

Anyways hope you like!

Food!

So I wanted to switch it up this week for my assignments, and decided to shoot some food. I'm really excited about being able to take the Food class in Nov of this year, but at the same time it just feels so stinkin far away, and I wish I new all the tips and tricks so I could shoot more food while at my time at Brooks. So, since I don't have a food stylist, I swung by Whole Foods and hit up the bakery department, because there deserts already come pre-beautified. And who doesn't love mini cheesecakes?

These were also shot with my new lens :) ! First real shoot with my 24-105mm L ... so far I'm in love. AND I got the 5d back from my bro. Whoop whoop!

I'm pretty happy with them, but let me know what you think!
