Title is from one of my favorite songs, Stubborn Love by The Lumineers. I did it! The underwater shoot. If you haven’t read my previous post, last week’s theme was underwater. I had mixed feelings about it because I did two underwater shoots and they didn’t go so well. When I did the second one, I…
For the color focus theme, I came up with three ideas. One was going to be based on the color red, the second was going to be blue, the third one was going to be neutral colors like beige and light brown. I shot red and the neutral colors one on the same day and…
I did my very first underwater shoot yesterday. *pause for dramatic effect* It was SO much fun! I didn’t have anything planned, just wanted to test it, so I got my sister in a dress and got into the swimming pool and I think we were there for about two hours or an hour and…

When I attended Brooke Shaden’s workshop last november, she asked us to write down three things we would like to do or accomplish in 2014. I wrote: 1. Shoot once per month (at least) 2. Get my work exhibited by the end of the year 3. Sell a picture to a publishing house I’ve managed…
I’ve been putting off writing a blog post for the longest time because.. I’m scared. What if I say the wrong things? What if I say too much? Too little? But after GPP2014, I realized I can’t put this off much longer. Not only because I need to write about my experience, but also because…
