ALBRECHT WOOD INTERIORS

I just got home from San Diego and started up again with school today. Here's something to satisfy you until I get the pictures from the trip edited!
I made this website for my uncle and the families business for a web class I took in the fall. It's officially launched so you can check it out next!

WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD...

I have had this idea written in my little idea book for years and I finally got to put it to use! And I love how it turned out, just as I had imagined! I wanted to do a Wizard of Oz theme shoe spread with the lion in furry boots, Dorothy in reed heels, the scarecrow in black boots, the tinman in silver heels and the witch in point black heels. I wanted it to be a modern take on the characters with a fun magazine cut out feel. Thanks to everyone who made this happen from my leg models (Erin and Sam) to my shoe lenders (Sarah, Sam and Mandy). I couldn't have done it without you guys!

Now off to San Diego to visit my brother for spring break in 10 days!!

BEAUTIFUL DIRTY RICH

Yes. the title of this post if the name of a Lady Gaga song. And yes, it was on purpose, haha. By request of my friends Katie, Sam and Erin. My friends and I ventured into the beauuuuutiful sunny warm-ish weather we've been having for a photo adventure. I love just capturing a day in my life with my crazy friends. We're such goofballs. I can always look back on these after I graduate this spring and get a good laugh. I'm going to miss these girls so much! By the way, how'd I get such pretty friends?!?!

PHONOGRAPH + URBAN DECAY

Not the usual mix, just a phonograph and urban decay... haha, these next assignments required something larger than a tabletop (phonograph) and a cosmetic (eyeshadow). It's hard to photograph large things and make it interesting. This is actually my grandparents but they gave it to my mom because she loved it so much. I always remember my mom playing K-K-K-Katie on it when we would visit my grandparents. The Urban Decay eyeshadow was a gross shoot. Only because it involved me smashing gum into concrete to make it look like a city street, haha.

CAPTURE LIFE

I am in some serious need to shoot people. Ha! Not the bang, you're dead kind of shoot, the use my camera to capture you, capture laughter, capture moments, capture LIFE. I came across this sweet necklace on etsy and it made me realize that capturing life, is what I love to do. I'm so burned out on inanimate objects in my still life class and it's hard to get people willing to go out in the snow, now turned muddy mucky rainy melting mess. So if you're up for a life capturing adventure, let me know. :)

I stumbled across these photos while transferring my thousands of photos due to a crashed hard drive (bummer). He's such a strange guy ;) (actually, I think I made him do these things! haha) but hey, it totally captures the silly life I live! And because this makes me laugh and makes me long for the pool filled summer days that seem just out of reach...

ÉN GRY & SIF - AVON GLASS

I have really been loving textures lately and I think it's pretty obvious with my next assignment. We were given the task to do both an open assignment (we got to CHOOSE what to take photos of!!!) and glass or alcohol shot that were advertisements. I'm starting with my open assignment because I really loved how it turned out. I was wanting to shoot something that I felt fit my style and something that I would enjoy photographing so I chose this cute clutch that was a gift to me from Én Gry & Sif. Such a neat company! All the textures with the fuzzy wool, crisp dried flowers and gritty wood. I added the blurry flowers on the right just for this post because I liked how to two went together. And the red candy dish is actually an Avon Collectible from my Grandma.
