We've been learning basic retouching the past two weeks at school, so I thought I would post my first attempt.

High Key Portraiture

We started high key portraiture the other day. Um, I'm in love. Period.

There will be more, I promise!

I'm leaving for my school vacation tomorrow, so there won't be photos for a week or so. But, you never know!!!

New York City: Dec 6, 2008

New York City. By far, it is my favorite place in the world. It's my second home. This year alone, I have been to the city 8 times. I will live there someday, maybe not for a long time... But, I'll live there.

I took these photos two weekends ago. My boyfriend, Justin, and I went and saw EQUUS. It was fantastic.
My boyfriend is the cute boy in the photos, with the stupid Patriots hat.

Oh, and all of these were taken with the Nikon D3. A pretty fantastic camera, and that's coming from a Canon person.

Natasha

At Hallmark, I've been some awesome friends. But my best friend here by far is my friend Natasha. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she's an amazing model, too. So here are a ton of photos that I've taken with her the past few weeks.

Enjoy!

These next few are a collaboration 'Tash and I did together. We both love the organization To Write Love On Her Arms, so we took photos in honor of To Write Love On Her Arms day.

Her concept. My camera.
One Awesome Team.

New England Life Stock Photos

For an assignment, we learned how to photograph stock photography. Our theme was New England Life Style. Here are the photos I ended up taking. The model is my friend, Brianne.

Phase One Final Assignmet

Here are photos from my Phase One final. I'm not posting any photos before that because, to be honest, they aren't that good and I'm not proud of them. But now that I've got the swing of things, I'll be posting a lot for now on.
