Senior Portraits Class of 2011!

It's that time of year again! A couple of friends siblings and friends of mine asked me to photograph them for their senior portraits. It was so much fun having a photoshoot with each of them and going to different locations to photograph them based on their own personalities and interests.

Taylor Swift said it best.You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water.And every time I look at you, it's like the first time.I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter.She is the best thing that's ever been mine."

My Cousin's Wedding!

10.10.10! What an exciting date to be married! My cousin Gregory asked me to be the photographer for his wedding to his lovely bride to be Andrea. Of course I said yes! The wedding was in Colorado, and it was very exciting to travel to the west coast for my cousin's big day. Here are a few pictures of the new Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Taillacq and of course some family photos! It was such an honor to have the role of the photographer for my cousin's special day:

PH211 Final Edit

Here are my strongest images from my projects throughout the semester for this course. This sequence will be dorm life and some of the many aspects of living in a dorm, which include late nights, study sessions, and of course relaxing and having a little bit of fun with friends.

Silhouette Fun

For a project I am working on doing a silhouette series, here are a couple of images of just playing around with the idea of silhouettes. I enjoy silhouettes because they let the viewer engage with the photo in a whole different way, they make the viewer provide the details of what the shadowed person or object looks like. Here are some of my silhouettes.

Fun with 35mm

The family I babysit for very generously gave me a 35mm camera that had been passed down from a photographer who had been in their family. Graciously I accepted and was extremely excited to try shooting film instead of digital. I have a feeling this camera will be fun to play with! Here are some images from my first time shooting 35mm.

All Nighter Fun

College is filled with wonderful experiences. Experiences like learning lots of useful information, meeting new people, hanging out, having fun, and of course pulling all nighters with your roommates.

Image Restoring

Today I began experimenting with restoring old images, here is the result of many hours of retouching!
