i named a plant emmett

Hello blogging friendz!!!!! I have been on an absolute photography *kick* as of late, I have been taking my NikonD60 absolutely everywhere.  I think I have been taking photos every other day.  I took a photoshoot with my pal Mikaela who did some siiiick jumping shots and one with my friend Clarissa where we went tromping around a cute little city near us.

Lifeeee-wise.  I have been kind of at a standstill.  I haven't found much motivation besides my photography as of late.  Everything seems routine. 


In honor of Earth Day, my pal Kirsten and I visited a local gardening store and bought some succulents.  Of course, we gave them fun names.  Kirsten's plants are Profe Flug (named after a Spanish teacher at our school), Nachito and Gale.  I named my plants Marty and Emmett after characters from the movie Back to the Future (greatest movie of all time can we agree).




Kirsten is so excited about Earth Day that she wet her plants!!!!!! HAA HA punz.












   On Wednesday, I got the amazingingiging opportunity to shoot some photographs of a band at my church that plays at our youth group.  It's an eclectic little group of professional musicians and they play contemporary Christian songs from bands like Gungor and Hillsong which is pretty neat. They were so sweet, they told me I could sort of romp around stage and do what I wanted. Uh, cool, thanks???











This image is part of a series I'm working on for a photography portfolio called "the unforeseen series" where I focus on different people all with the same element, each of them has their eyes hidden in some way. It's sort of still in the works, but eeep I'm super pumped about it.


I got part of my head shaved yesterday, which is now a thing.  I've always been sort of fascinated by the sidecut look, but honestly I was a little worried about how it was going to turn out.  I didn't want half my head shaved off or something (also I never have had a razor come towards my head before which was slightly concerning). But I really like how it turned out.  Subtle.  

I will be uploading more photoz soon because I have been taking sooooo many photos.

  1. Your photos are fantastic, and I love the succulents. My roommate and I regularly buy plants, too, but because we can't seem to keep them alive, ha ha!

    1. It's actually such a difficult task. Remembering to water plants. Speaking of which, I should probably go do that. *nervous laughter*

    1. You are the love of my life. You should totally shave a tiny part of your hair, if you hate it you can always cover it up. That was my back up plan. And naming plants is nothing to be ashamed of despite what my friends say. Minerva and Raphael are so on point. All plant names seem to be so on point amirite

  3. Your pictures are so perfect, man! You and your friend look all glowy and happy and it's making me feel all glowy and happy just looking at you guys! I've been on the lookout for really neat contemporary Christian bands/artists lately and I've never heard of Gungor so thanks for the (unpremeditated?) band recommendation! The pictures you took of that band are awesome!! Also, you rock that side-shave look so well, man! <3
