It consisted of 372 miles of driving (plus a few for getting lost multiple times), 4 locations, 3 different climates, 3 lenses and 1 camera. While all of that seems pretty exhausting, which it was, I definitely got a lot of really great pictures out of it and I was able to begin building my portfolio with some portrait shots (thanks Tyler, for letting me practice on you)! I got to use a lens baby, so many of the photos I have show a bit more of an artistic side, with a sweet blurred effect!
Makahiki Floor Retreat: Apple Valley & Lake Arrowhead
About 10 girls from our floor made it up to our lovely RA's house in Apple Valley for a weekend of fellowship and relaxation. I drove up late on Friday night, along with Meghan, Chelsea, Emily and Juliet. We got a little lost a few times, missed our turns because of our chatter, but made it there just before midnight. The next day, all of us stuffed into cars and drove up to Lake Arrowhead for the day, where Autumn was in full swing. Beautiful colors in the trees, crisp cool fall air and scarves galore!
Ally's Bridal Shower: Temecula
With an early departure time on Saturday and the most delicious Mocha I have probably ever had in my life, Meghan, Juliet and I packed back up into my car and began the tumultuous drive back down the mountains, Biola bound. About an hour and a half later, we arrived in La Mirada sleepy and probably kinda dirty. I had about a half an hour to re-pack, gift wrapsome lingere and hit the road to Temecula. Ally's bridal shower was great, full of yummy food, good people and laughter.
Tyler's Senior Pictures- Take 1: La Mirada
A good friend of mine asked me a while back to shoot his portrait for him to send out with his graduation announcements. Although he thought I was doing him a favor, he was actually doing one for me! I've been hoping to start doing portraits & photography for students or folks who need affordable quality photos so that I can begin building a portfolio and gaining experience. We decided to do another shoot next weekend since the sun had begun to set and I didn't really come prepared with very many ideas. The few pics we got on Sunday turned out pretty good, I'm excited for take 2!!
