At the beginning of the summer I really did not want to take a summer class but I’m so glad I did. I met these two awesome girls and we started our own photography club to help each other practice. We’ve done a few photo shoots and I think we’ve learned so much from each other. These photo shoots have given us a place to experiment with new techniques like holding an object next to your lens to create a blur of color and trying out different poses. I also learned that it’s harder than I thought to try and be the model for other photographers. I did improve only after practicing faces in the mirror for a few minutes. Thanks Clare and Kim for being patient with my modeling skills and for letting me photograph you.

Working with Rachel on creating these photos was so much fun. We had taken photos about a year ago and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to keep shooting. Since then, I have learned so much just by taking photos and experimenting with different techniques. I never imagined that I could ever be at this point with my photography. It really is true that if you try something new and don't give up, you will get better. I love how these photos turned out. Rachel is a natural model who isn't afraid to try new poses and I love that! Because she is a visual artist also, she pointed out leading lines, lines that direct your eye throughout the photo, to me as we were shooting. It was really cool to collaborate like that. Thanks Rachel for being a great model and for chasing the sun with me as it set. Thanks for checking out my blog and see you next weekend for another blog post!
Last summer I worked at a Girl Scout summer camp which had always been my dream as a kid. I met some of the most amazing people there and a few of them were from England. They came back to America this summer and we decided to give them a proper Fourth of July experience. We took them to Savannah and watched fireworks on the beach. I'm thankful to have friends who don't mind stopping whatever we're doing for a quick photo shoot. It was such a great trip and as a result I got some great photos.
