Independent Study Project

So this past semester I worked on an independent study project and have finally finished it. The idea for the project was "Made to be....". I always try to tell a story with my photography. I think it is so important to have more than just a good picture so I wanted to be able to tell peoples stories of what they believe they were made to be. I believe passionately that everyone is where they are in the present moment because there is purpose for them there. I tried to find a wide range of people with many different purposes in their life.

This was also my first project using my new lights I just bought!!! BIGIDDY!!! I was definitely pleased with the results and am looking forward to doing some more projects with them!!

Rachel Moxley Senior Portraits

So I have been doing a whole lot of senior portraits lately. A couple of weeks ago I was able to do a portrait session with Rachel Moxley. She is a senior at Bella Vista High School and also goes to my church and is in the youth group I work in. It was actually great weather with clouds to even out the light which made for some great pictures. There was a bit of wind but we just tried to use it to our favor and gave Rachel some of those model pics with her hair in the wind!!! Here are a few of my favorites from the day!

So the wild flowers were absolutely amazing and made for a great spot!!! Rachel you got lucky!!
