52 Week Photo Challenge - Week Twenty-Three!
Well considering a lot of my photo shoots require costuming I thought I would search my house for something different and creative without having to buy something new. I think I am pretty clever!
Week Twenty-Three - Creative Costume Design on a Budget!
The second I saw the caution tape I knew exactly what to do with it!! This shoot is for all the women in my life I have had to tip toe around. The ones you really have to think about what you say before you say it to them. The super sensitive girls who can go from zero to crazy in a matter of seconds. The emotionally tormented for no reason type. I love you!

52 Week Photo Challenge - Week Twenty-Two!
There is something powerful in a single color. The emotion you get just from a color can be really telling. Each one of these photos feels completely different even though they are all very similar.
Week Twenty-Two - Recreate an Old Image!
For this shoot I took a simple subject and turned in many different colors using photoshop. I love playing with saturations in the editing room. Makes for an interesting collection of photos even when the photo itself is not as interesting. I learned about the color blue today! The reason it was called royal is because it was a difficult color to find and produce back in the day. It was one of the last colors to be used in art and decoration and only royalty had access to it.

52 Week Photo Challenge - Week Twenty-One!
Babies are the most incredible thing in this world. To watch them figure out their new life is just amazing. I can't even imagine what they must be experience. All their little facial expressions and sudden bursts of emotion, it must be dificult to make sense of this crazy place we live in.
Week Twenty-One - New Born Photography!
I am so lucky to have the opportunity to shoot my neighbors newborn baby. I got to photograph Ewan when he was still inside his mama. Now he is out in the world and more beautiful then ever with a full set of hair. Being my first newborn shoot I learned a lot. The baby runs to show. We are completely on his schedule and breaks are often. You know it is about to come when their tiny little mouths start sucking the air. Newborns need to take many feeding breaks and accidents may happen especially when you dont have them in a diaper. It is very important to act fast and to plan out the next shot during feeding time because you may have only a couple minutes to get the shot. Keeping the baby happy is priority and can be a challenge all on its own. What an incredible experience! I can't wait to see this little one grow up. He is going to be so strong! His vocal cords defiantely are (remember we are neighbors and our walls are paper thin!)

52 Week Photo Challenge - Week Twenty!
A surreal image is a mix of fact and fantasy! My recent trip to Faerie Worlds was my inspiration for this photo!
Week Twenty - Create A Surreal Image!
I really wanted to have a fairy immerging from the water summoning her friends and that is exactly what we got! My model is the designer and owner of these gorgeous wings. She played to part perfectly with her vibrant colors and pointed ears. With a little editing to make everything just that much more unbelievable it all came together!

52 Week Photo Challenge - Week Nineteen!
Tripdychs are a series of photographs in one photo, or a combination of photos. They are multi paneled works that exsist as one, to portray a story. Here is my interpretation.
Week Nineteen - Tripychs!
I have seen triptych portraits of ordinary people in the streets and found them to be fascinating. I decided to capture extrodinary people with the same intention. The festival scene is the perfect place to find very interesting people. This was definatley a challenge for me because just the idea of approaching someone out of the blue and asking to take their photo was something I struggle with. I am not so good at talking to strangers let alone convincing them to pose for me for a personal project of mine. To my surprise it was easier then I thought and in fact people were really interested and willing to help out. I would love to keep this challenge going but here are the couple I had the balls to ask for.
