Vanna portraits

I had the opportunity to do a shoot with the band, Vanna at a photography seminar hosted by Jeremy Saffer. I quite like how my photos turned out! All three were shot with a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II and 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.
My 60D didn't have the PC connection required for the flash so I had to use Jeremy's camera, which I had no complaints about, other than the weight! Haha I'm definitely not used to shooting with a camera that heavy.

Wisdom teeth and fashion photography

I go my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and I'm definitely feeling the pain today. I have been taking the pain meds they prescribed me though, they help a lot. My boyfriend, Connor, came over and spent some time with me after he got out of class. Having him with me made me feel a lot better, even though all we did was sit on the couch and watch Adventure Time! He really is the best boyfriend anyone could ask for.

This Sunday, A friend of mine who is a designer is hosting a charity fashion show called "Finding Hope With Fashion." I'm shooting the show along with a couple of other photographers, and I'm wicked excited about it. I've never shot a fashion show before so it's something completely new and different. I figured out the gear I'm bringing already. I'm bringing my 60D, my Speedlite 430EX II, a softbox for the Speedlite, my 35mm f/1.4, and my 24-105 f/4. Hopefully I get some really cool photos!

So my weekend is going to consist of trying to feel better, cleaning, and then getting ready/shooting the show. Hope you have a nice weekend! xo

18th birthday

I had a lovely birthday! The day before my actual birthday, I went into Boston with my boyfriend. We walked around, shopped, then went to dinner at The Melting pot. There, he gave me my present, an anchor necklace from Tiffany! (seen on right)
I woke up on my actual birthday with a migraine and nausea but it didn't last all day. My boyfriend came over and we spent some time together, just relaxing. The UPS truck stopped at my house and delivered my new EF 35mm f/1.4L USM lens which I was wicked happy about, it's wonderful. My mom got home later and brought along with her a small birthday cake that was Tiffany blue with a snowflake on it, it was delicious!
18 doesn't feel much different than 17, but I'm going to be much more independent now I've decided. I'm going to start following my dream of becoming a pro photographer and focus on working hard, while maintaining happiness. I have my whole adult life ahead of me and I'm going to make the best of whatever is thrown at me. Happiness is going to be key in my life. xo

Latest photos

I've been trying to start taking more photos lately and I've also purchased Lightroom recently. So, here are some of my favorite photos taken not too long ago.

Illuminate

Illuminate by Lydia has to be one of my favorite, if not favorite, albums ever. It's rare that I love an entire album and can listen to it over and over again, but with this one, I can. The lyrics and the music are just so incredibly beautiful. It has also finally inspired me to hopefully take piano lessons, something I've wanted to do for a long time. To be honest, I first listened to Lydia because people who I thought were cool liked them, but I fell in love with them immediately. So, if you haven't listened to this album or band before, I highly recommend doing so as soon as you possibly can. You won't regret it. xo
