Wilderness Woman

This was my first attempt at Fashion Photography. Of course it had to rain, but we didn't let that stop us! My amazing and beautiful friend Ashley Price was the model. We had so much fun or at least I did and I can't tell you how many times I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. Ashley has so much personality that when she gets you laughing it's hard to stop.

Mock Editorial Shoot

So excited for tomorrow!!! I'm photographing my very first mock editorial photo shoot. I've got so many ideas going through my head!

I will be doing the hair/makeup and photo styling as well as photographing. I'm trying to think of a theme for the shoot so we can play off that. I was thinking something along the lines of,  "Player of the field." Where all the shots are in fields or against farm type backdrops with a musical influence.

The fashion for the shoot is revolving around this full green skirt that I had from a renaissance costume. I'll be working on a petticoat later for the added flair of the country/prairie vibe. I found this gorgeous white button down shirt with embroidery detail that would be perfect for the shoot. I also have a navy blue military style jacket that will vibe well.

I'm so excited for the makeup! I'm thinking that I will keep her face extremely pale, block out her eyebrows, extreme black editorial eye makeup with false lashes, and exaggerated lips.

Hair will be either a simple sock bun or something along the lines of a rocker chic updo with the side extremely taught. We'll just see how it goes. I have this awesome feather that I'm going to make into a hair clip.

I can't wait to get started and to show case the photos. There's a chance of rain tomorrow so maybe we can get some awesome clouds since we won't have the same kind of light as on a clear day. If only I had access to a light kit to bring more to the photos. But alas all I lack is money.

This was a project from my Installation class. I used cardboard, glue, fabric and glitter. The work is about how society had caused young girls to grow up too quickly. 

The Modern Maiden

This was a project of mine while in college. We were supposed to create a chair that could be functional or nonfunctional. Obviously this one is the later. ;) This chair has attacked me on numerous  occasions, but it is still one of my favorite 3D pieces. With my Dad's help, we cut out the seat from plywood and drilled holes into the seat and into the chair for the nails.
