Echo Lake

Denim Button Down: Thrifted
White Shorts: Vintage Express
Necklace: Forever 21
Wedges: Marshalls

Today we did a little shoot by a small lake near my house with my friend, Aria. I played around with some black and whites. I was originally going to do some brighter takes, but I actually like how the darker black and whites came out. I think I'm going to try and do some darker black and whites. Hope you all like these!

By the Reservoir

Button Down: Button Down
Jeans: Armani Exchange

Yesterday the boy and I went down to by the reservoir to take a few pictures at sunset. The one where you see the rays coming through the clouds is definitely my favorite. And I guess the ones of Brian are alright.

I'm starting to have an easier time getting things in focus. A lot of the photos I capture that I really like are accidental. So hopefully I can actually figure out how to take some intentional photos.

Please comment and let me know what you think! Enjoy!

A Flower and a Loriel

Sweater: Forever 21
Shorts: Kohls

So today I went over to a friend of mine's house for a little photo shoot. Loriel, (fabulous photographer, she is). She's the one that took these lovlies. Her backyard had beautiful flowers (Donna, you're fabulous too mama), I had so much fun capturing them.

I've realized I have a soft spot for highly exposed photos. The high key function on my camera is probably my new found favorite. Also I love the flash, with the shadows it cast. I have lots of options to play with. Will definitely be showing you all what I come up with!

Keep following me!
