BFA 2006

These are sample of the 150 pictures from my BFA project. I went to Japan and photographed street life and used film exclusively. All through college I used film only anyway, but this was by far one of my favorite projects. Being half Japanese I felt like I was getting in touch of my other half. So the format of the show was 150 photos 5"x5" on a thin black shelf that wrapped around these "c" shaped walls. It was very linear. I felt like revisiting my photo past, so here you go!

Apple Holler

These pics are outdated, since I went to the Apple Holler last September, but never blogged about it. I love these pictures, because every year I go with the same group of friends who happen to be some of my favorite people in Chicago. I know the last shot of my son and his best friend is out of focus, but I just love their expressions and they really are the best of buddies!

Jennifer is a Stella and Dot stylist that I met at a trunk show and of course, I left buying some amazing jewelry. She claims, like everyone, that she doesn't take good pictures, but as you can see she is absolutely gorgeous!

Galindos 11-23-2011

I swung by the Art Institute again for family portraits and I think they turned out great. Just look at the adorable Max. The camera loves him!! And if you haven't noticed Max has a deep love for trains. He was even Sir Topham Hat for Halloween!

Baby portraits are always so sweet to me and the colors just really worked well together. Congratulations again Neuenschwanders!

Gotta love the Culps! I had a blast photographing this family, they all have an innate sense of posing. So awesome!
