My dear friend Ashley and her husband Ben just returned from a fabulous venture abroad to Paris, France and Barcelona, Spain. They had a fantastic time, and it was so fun to hear their stories and see their photos. I asked Ashley if she would want to model for me, and she said yes, of course, so we took advantage of the great lighting at her home. Using natural light is so fun! In my opinion, it’s the best light I can ask for when it comes to photography. Here are some of my favorites from her shoot.

Thank you, Ashley, for all of your help and support in chasing my dream.

You are a truly beautiful person, inside and out, and I’m so honored to call you my friend.

See you soon!

Meet Gillian! She was in photography class with me over the summer, and we hit it off. She is a teacher and photographer, truly an artist! We finally got together to discuss our photography journey and to get some portrait practice, of course! We braved the 30 degree weather, combined with rain, mist, and just sheer damp coldness, by the time we called it a day. Gillian had scoped out some awesome locations downtown. Take a look!

We would often resort to fits of laughter either due to the extreme cold or due

to the fact that at times we felt like we were getting senior pictures taken.

I could see this as an ad for Hollister. Don’t you agree?

We had to get some jump shots.

Oh what a feeling! This is how we ended our day.

We both set up our tripods along the street and jumped several times.

Passers-by may have thought we were at cheerleading tryouts…or maybe just a little crazy!

Gillian, thank you for all of your support and encouragement! I’m so glad we got to hang out!

I was so excited to photograph my good friends Ashley and Ben! As soon as I arrived at their home, we heard thunder…oh no! Downpour! For over an hour! So we went to dinner and hoped that the clouds would make way for some late evening sun. We got our wish! It was only sprinkling when we left the restaurant, so we made our way to our first spot, Potter’s covered bridge. What a neat location! And these two are totally in love and not to mention photogenic! Happy 2 Year Anniversary!!! Thanks again for a great evening!
