Family Portraits: The Chen Family

I had the pleasure of photographing a cute little family of 3! They are so much fun to watch them play with their new adorable baby girl! I have known David and Wendy for quite some time! Even more so now that my sister is married to Wendy's brother! Wendy actually is the one who created my business cards! So for all your graphic design needs, see Wendy and she'll create art you will absolutely swoon over! Meet the Chen Family! Enjoy! And Happy Friday to all my loves!

Morgen; The Painter

So I have surrounded myself with beautiful people and things to photograph, but what about these people do you really know? I have been in love with the idea of photographing lifestyle for quite a while. And I have found a friend who is an extremely talented painter and singer. Morgen recently had an art show debuting her self portraits she painted from the past 6 months. I found her work exceptionally inspiring. (But I wasn't expecting anything less then perfection with Morgen's art!) Her goal is to create 100 self portraits, and I was able to photograph her for a couple portraits she recreated by painting. She let me come into her life and photograph her painting process and even bits of her life. I'm in love with film and the look of it, so some of these images I decided to recreate the look of film in black and white. But really, black and white tells such a richer more honest story; film even more so. I'm very excited to share these images with you! Especially since I've never done anything quite like this before! Enjoy!

Meet Morgen! She's super talented and such a delight to work with!

This is her dog, Nixon!

An almost done self portrait!

If she hasnt inspired you to pick up a paint brush, I don't know what will. I'm dying to learn how to draw anything other than stick figures! When ever I say this around Morgen, she always replies with the same answer. 

That I have the same capabilities, opportunities and resources as her and I should give it a try! I'm gonna have to take that offer and see what I can create! You should do the same!!

Trending in Fashion: End of Summer Fun!

I have recently teamed up with a good friend of mine, Tallia! She runs a super cute fashion blog called, "Trending in Fashion". She has modeled for me quite a bit, and actually met through photography! It's so fun to meet people through sharing art and opinions! Here is a fun shoot we did to kick off the end of summer and kick start the school year inspired by summer fashion!
