New Independent Study

So I'm planning on taking another Independent Study class this semester. Only 6 more credits after this semester until I graduate, which means by next Spring I will have my BA from UMBC! I'm in the works of planning for the topic of my Independent Study and I really want it to be Pet Photography. That way next semester for my Senior Project I can combine my portrait photography with humans and animals and have it be something like "People with Their Pets". I have been thinking about this idea since I took my studio photography class a year ago. Here is a photo of my Yorkie, Button. He normally doesn't stay still long enough for me to take a good photo of him but I think this one turned out pretty well.


**Edit**

I decided to include a before photo so you can see what it looked like before I edited it.

Pinhole Photography

I'm taking a Pinhole Photography summer class at UMBC which has been pretty interesting considering we built 3.5 cameras that we used to take the photos. Here are a few of my favorites, and I also posted some others on my flickr page. Check them out and let me know what you think :-)

All moved in

So moving went very smoothly last Sunday, unpacking however.... not so much. I started my summer Pinhole Photography class on Tuesday and it is three days a week so I haven't had much time to unpack. I'm very excited about setting up my new studio and have a great feeling that a lot of good portraits will be done there in the new future. I was even thinking of maybe doing some pinhole portraits, if I do I will definitely post them so you can view them.

New Studio

I'm so excited about moving next Sunday and having a place of my own! I am going to be making my second bedroom into a office/studio/guest room. So that means that I will be able to do photo shoots at home! I'm really excited about this and I think it will be nice to have a comfortable environment for my clients to come and have their portraits done. As soon as I get the place painted and all my stuff moved in I will be able to start shooting.

Flickr

Feel free to check out my flickr page, the link is on the right side of the page. I have a lot more portraits on there that I have taken within the past few months. I am in the process of getting ready to move and will be able to do more photo sessions after things settle down. Check back for more updates to come!

New Business Card

This is my first time using a photo of my own for a business card. Hopefully the size and quality turns out okay because I ordered a lot. Vistaprint.com has great deals if anyone needs to have any business supplies custom made.

Mother's Day Photo Shoot

These photos are from a family portrait session I did for my sister and her adorable family. This was the second family portrait that I have done. Considering it was very windy and chilly that day and I had to try to keep the attention of a six month old baby and a two and a half year old, I think it turned out pretty well.
