Banana Bart

This is Bart. Bart meant a lot to many people. She was laid to rest in October, at the age of 36, due to a tumor growing in her nasal cavity. She belonged to my trainer, and in her prime, was one of the best horses she ever had.

WHEW. Enough with the heavy. When I found out where her future was heading, I set off to do something special. This project is important to me not only because it was a way to honor her memory, but I knew that my trainer deserved to see her favorite horse all done up one last time. These images were taken in secret right under her nose with the help of a couple friends. I’m grateful for it. Not only because of their turn out, but because this was the first time I ever attempted to photograph a horse.

I am awfully proud of this set, I hope you enjoy them as well!

Fruit And Products Part 1: Lemons

Lately I have been trying to expand my product and commercial side of my website since I have less images inside that book on my website.

What better way to start a new project than by using my favorite color as a base?! In this series of fruit and products, I really experimented with duo color backgrounds, which is something new to me.

I genuinely had fun doing these, and I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think!

Watch Product

I have been trying to add more images to my product side of my portfolio lately, These images of the watch were really fun to do. When I was in school, I made a watch image that I like a lot and put a lot of effort into, but this one trumps it, therefore this one stays, and the other must go.

These images were really fun to make, because I do not work with male models as much, so it becomes more challenging for me in the sense of posing, and things that look natural.

Let me know what you think!

ASAD 2022

The year 2022 was filled with so many highs, and some very low, lows. 2022 brought travel, and weddings, animal snuggles. new friends, and family get togethers. Although some unexpected, I’m grateful to have seen them. 2022 also brought me lots of laughter, and new opportunities for growth in myself, and my art.

As some of you know, the year 2022 started out rough for me. New Years day, I was on a plane heading to my grandpa’s funeral. Although the circumstances were not ideal, I enjoyed seeing family that I have not seen in many years. I loved playing games and reminiscing with them about their childhoods and mine. My grandma is my only remaining grandparent, and I will forever cherish our conversations from this week. I am thankful that she sees me as someone she could talk to, and help her through her grief.

With the United States opening back up from covid, this brought on more travel. Not long after we got home from being in Ohio, my parents came to see me. I also traveled back to Ohio two other times this year. I flew in for my life long best friend’s bridal shower and bachelorette weekend, and then again for her wedding. I also traveled to New York City. I have been there five times, and I do not think I will ever stop being surprised by its beauty and culture.

Everyone that has ever met me knows that I have a love of animals, my favorite being a horse. Growing up in a suburb of Cleveland, its definitely not a typical favorite animal. My bedroom growing up was always covered in horse statues, pictures, toys, etc. After the loss of Molly, I decided it was time to become formally trained. This year, I started my journey towards horsemanship, and hopefully lead to hunter jumper. Bailey was the first horse I felt a bond with at The Equestrian Center. She was very patient with me and helped me through the beginning challenges. The center lost Bailey unexpectedly, and it broke my heart. After riding a few horses, who were all wonderful I found Brigand. I typically use the the phrase “he's a dream” when I talk about him. He pushes me to be better, work harder, and also to expect the unexpected. I am truly grateful for my trainer and friend, Janet, and the entire equestrian center. This is the first time in my life, I have had friends that are also horse people.

I always talk about the things I wish I could improve in the future of my videos. In the past, it was about video organization. I fixed this problem by creating folders per month and adding them at the end of every month, then going and creating that months section of the video. This has helped me a great deal and I definitely will continue it in the future. I was underwhelmed with some of my phones camera quality, but I upgraded my phone so I hope that will improve future videos. Something I really want to improve on will definitely be the blog writing itself. I struggle with writing out the synapsis of my year, and even my art.

I hope you enjoy 2022’s a second a day video, and I can not wait to hear what you think! The link is below, and please do not forget to look for 2023 in the future!

I have four more blog posts, saved in my drafts and I am working to get them to you soon.

ASAD July Sneak Peak

I always talk about the month I had when I post my monthly sneak peak, but I never really criticize or talk about my learning process. Which I think is a very big part of the videos themselves. With that being said, I want to share with you something I have learned during this video process, and my own solution to go forward with for next years video.

If there was one thing I would have done differently for this project, it would be better organization. When I started this project, I never really thought about the process of organization I was going to need to successfully and easily make this project run smoothly. Well, let me tell you how important organization is with this project now that I am a little more than half way done,

The biggest way I could have stayed better organized would have been by putting these videos in sub-folders based on months and put each month in one folder. Right now, I have all the videos in one folder, and now that there are over 100 videos in this one folder, with more added more daily, When I sit down to edit, I am constantly searching though the entire media library consisting of all the videos from this year so far. This causes me to edit slower, and take more time looking for certain videos, rather than having all the videos right there per month. At least I know how to make this project run smoother next year, since I have decided to make this a very permanent ongoing project.

Below are links the the other A Second A Day Sneak Peak videos and the blogs to go with them just incase you ever miss one, or want to rewatch/reread them, they are all right here. Underneath these links, is July’s sneak peak. Enjoy!

One Year in Florida!

Hey everyone! As the title of this blog post says, on this day last year, I moved to Florida. Wow! Time goes by way too quickly. As I was thinking about this, I realized I never posted a blog to tell everyone that didn't already know I moved, that I moved! Let mr explain why we left Michigan, and chose Florida in the first place.

I have a lot to catch you up on! First things first, I moved out of Michigan almost a year ago. I ended up in the Florida panhandle in a city called Destin Florida, right along the gulf coast in that small part of Florida that has the different time zone. In the last year, i’ve been settling in and getting to know the area. I also bought my first car, celebrated Chris and I's 3 year anniversary, celebrated my 24th birthday, Chris’s 26th birthday, survived my very first hurricane, traveled to many cities, (Atlanta, New Orleans, Pensacola, Pittsburgh, Ripley, Van Wert, etc.) but I have also been shooting lots of new work, networking, and brainstorming. As some of you may know, I even started to better my video skills. (link to my video project blog below)

One of the most common questions we got while fulfilling our moving process, was simply why did we decide to move. Well the truth is we had many reasons why we wanted to move. Firstly, we wanted to explore a new area. The town we were living in was called Midland, Michigan. Midland is a nice area, but it was really small. I think the main reason we stayed for so long was because Chris’s college was based out of Midland, and because I was so sick the previous year. (Check out the blog post an overdue life update for more information. blog link at the bottom.). Secondly, we decided to leave to help me branch out in a new area and find an area with more fashion photography opportunities. As you can imagine, living in a small town only consisting of family run retail portrait studios was not the best job environment for me. Although I was still abled to make some pretty great connections, we felt it was time to move on. So as soon as Chris was abled to get into all online classes, we started talking about what we wanted in the next place we lived. So we made a list and as part of our criteria, we wanted warmth, fun, and job opportunities. We first decided on Tampa. So Chris moved down first in January to apartment hunt for us starting in Tampa, but we didn’t see anything we could see ourselves in. Luckily we have a friend who was looking for a new roommate in the Destin area so Chris went up to visit , and I came down in March.

I can’t wait to show you all my new work that will be coming up on the website soon. but for now, im going to show you some of my candids, personal milestones, and a few trip images that I have taken this past year to show you around my new area the only way I know how to. I hope you enjoy them!

Exciting Projects in the Work / ASAD January Sneak Peak

I have quite a few new and exciting things planned for you this year!

The project I want to tell you about today is called A Second A Day. It’s a video project which is pretty self explanatory, but I am filming a second (or two) a day of my life. I decided to do this to help me get motivated to think differently on a daily basis, and not just while on set doing a photoshoot. Another reason I chose to do this project is so I can better my video editing skills. Many photographers this day and age shoot video and still photographs, as most of you know I have done a few videos here and there, but this I hope will help me really learn a lot more techniques and also to better myself in the job market.

Every few weeks (probably once a month I’ll show little sneak peaks of my project so far. These sneak peaks will be about 8-10 second videos of my favorite moments captured per month! i’m really excited to show you all and see how it turns out at the end of the year!

Don’t worry i’m still shooting and working hard to show you my next photo project, so be on the lookout for those too! without further ado, here is my some of my favorite January moments!

Michigan Fashion Photography

     About two weeks ago, I posted a blog titled "First Michigan Fashion Shoot". In that blog I described a little bit of what brought on this set of images with this amazing woman that I am lucky to call a friend. The other week I finished the images from the extensive fashion photoshoot I did with my friend, Kelli.

     Incase you missed the last blog, what we are trying to achieve is a new branding for Kelli. These images and others to come will be used on her instagram and social media accounts to rebuild her brand and self image for future business opportunities. These images are two more outfit changes we had go the many options we discussed and planned.  We are currently in the process of creating a new concept for the next shoot that im very excited about! Some of you might have already seen them on my updated website within the last week, but they had yet to be blogged.

     As always, I would also like to send out a special thank you to my boyfriend, Chris for learning how to be an assistant to the photographer by moving around the lights and equipment, and even learning how to use and set up all the equpitment to be the best help he could. 

     Out of courtesy for Kelli, I waited to post the rest of the images until I was sure she had received them. So I hope it was as worth the wait for you as it was for her. Enjoy!

First Michigan Fashion Shoot

      Back in October, I had my first chance to do a fashion shoot in Michigan. This very inspirational woman has become a friend of mine these last few years and it was an honor to work with her while she has so many other projects going on as well. We are currently in the process of rebranding her, so there will be many planned shoots to come that im very excited about! Even though some of you might have already seen them on my updated website, they have yet to be blogged.

      I would also like to send out a special thank you to my boyfriend, Chris for learning how to be an assistant to the photographer by moving around the lights and equipment, and even learning how to use and set up all the equpitment to be the best help he could.     
 
     So without further ado, here are some images from our first shoot. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them!

An Overdue Life Update

      As many of you know, I moved to Michigan after I graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh to be closer to my family to save up some money to travel, and move to a big city. (I always thought I would move to LA first, but lately I've been liking the idea of NYC.)  

     Anyway, I kept this pretty quiet last year, the ones closest to me knew about it but that's about it. Last year I got pretty sick a lot of chain reaction things that left me ill and un-able to function in a productive manner for about a year. In fact the entire reason I am making this post is because I saw one of those Facebook memories from last year when I was a walking EKG and one of the only images that I publicly shared from that year in which you could actually see the heart monitor attached to me. Those constant set of issues set me back on my plans for moving on with my life quite a bit. I'd like to say a special thank you to my boyfriend, family and friends who stood by me and helped me by keeping all my nerves away. They all helped me by listening to my complaints and spent their entire year putting my health and well-being before their own. 

     I am FINALLY starting to photograph again which is an amazing feeling. I have also gone through and re-edited my entire portfolio and website just to give me that fresh "new start" feeling. Over the next few months I plan on getting my blog schedule especially back on an every other week basis. I'd also like to extend another thank you to my boyfriend, as well as all my friends and family that helped me get back on my feet. They really help push me back to work even when I'm scared of failure and full of self-doubt. This thank you also includes my great uncle Fred who passed this week, because without you I would not have seen my cousins this weekend who have given me that extra boost of confidence to continue on with my dreams. So, thank you for everything you all have done for me. 

     I would also like to extend a large thank you to the people that regularly follow this blog and didn't give up on me even though I took such a long time off from blogging. I was touched to see how many people missed reading what I shared.  Your loyalty means so much to me! 

    Also, because this is a photography blog, and I did mention one image in particular, I will share some of the moments from last year that either I or my boyfriend captured of me (on the good days) while I was ill. The first image with the little kitten from last Thanksgiving at my grandparents is the one that was previously mentioned.  

Celebrating National Photo Day

     As some of you may have known, this past Friday was National Photography Day. In honor of this, I have decided to go in depth on an image that I never really talked about from my previous blog titled "Fashion Accessories". With the help of my best friend, who went to see the Horst P. Horst exhibit in the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg Florida on her vacation, I have decided to give you a short bio of his life and fame as a photographer. Ill then show you how he inspired this image of mine. (Citations Below!)

     Horst P. Horst was born in 1906 in Germany.  At a young age, he discovered his love for art and in 1920 started studying at Hamburg, only to move to Paris in 1930 to study under the architect Le Corbusier. While in Paris, Horst met many people in the art industry including Baron George Hoyningen-Huene who was the Chief of Photography for French Vogue. In 1931, Horst became his photographic assistant as well as his lover and favorite model. In December of that year, he published his first of many images in French Vogue. In 1932, Horst had his first big exhibition in La Plume D'or in Paris. After this exhibit, he became famous almost overnight thanks to a review in The New Yorker. 

     In 1937, Horst moved to New York where he met Coco Channel and photographed for her for thirty years. While his career was going strong in the United States, it seems his love life was also in 1938. Horst met a British diplomat named Valentine Lawford, who lived with Horst until Lawford's death in 1991. They even adopted and raised a son together named Richard J. Horst.

     In 1941 he applied for United States citizenship and joined the Army in 1943. In the Army, Horst had many of his images in the Army’s magazine called “Belvoir Castle.” In 1945, he became friends with and photographed President Harry S. Truman which lead him to photograph every first lady until the 1960s. Also in the 1960s, the new Vogue Editor Diana Vreeland convinced Horst to make a series of images illustrating the lifestyle of international high society members. Eventually he moved down to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and on November 18, 1999 at the age of 93 he died in his home.

     Horst P. Horst’s images are still very prominent to the fashion industry today. Horst is best known for his fashion and portraits, but is also recognized for his still life’s and architecture images. His work often shows his interest in surrealism as well as glamour and beauty

Like these images here of Horst P. Horst.
 

This image of mine that I used in a series of different fashion accessories that I was inspired by Horst P. Horst to create. My style is very glamorous and elegant, Just like Horst P. Horst, and as he uses black and white film, I used monochromatic colors. Horst always has very strong visual lines, and I think the hat and my model Hannah's body language gives me those strong lines.

 
Have a good day everyone and happy Belated National Photography Day!

July Fourth Weekend

Over the July fourth weekend I experimented with slow motion video. Since I don’t usually shoot slow motion, I thought it might be a good exercise for me. I used my iPhone, as well as my DSLR (Nikon D810) to capture video, and slow motion videos. I experimented with colored smoke bombs among other fireworks to study the patterns of smoke for a future project in the works! I took the videos into a few apps and sped the videos up and down until I thought they were perfect for looking at patterns. Below are some of my favorite images, and videos from the night. Hope you enjoy! 

Memorial Day Weekend

     This Memorial Day weekend I got a chance to visit my grandparents in the middle of nowhere. Also known as Van Wert Ohio. I used this opportunity to photograph the area around me. Coming from living in downtown Pittsburgh, to the suburbs of Michigan has been a little bit of adjustment scenery wise, but with my head still used to downtown living, the country was a huge change. These are few photos that I took on my phone while taking walks along the cornfields, with my boyfriend and family, as well as a few personal usage images from my weekend.  Hope you enjoy! 
 

Print Portfolio

Many of you know, I graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh at the end of March. In order to graduate, we had a few requirements. One of those was a print portfolio to show the faculty, future employers, friends, and family at the portfolio show (see my last blog to learn about the process and requirements titled “I Graduated”). My portfolio contains my best work created up until graduation and an artist statement.  I worked very hard to try to find cases and designs that I felt best suited my style and aesthetic. Each of these decisions such as what color to make my case, design aesthetics, plastic sleeves or no plastic sleeves, what type of paper would look best, choosing the images that I think best fit my personal brand and style, the layout of the images on the pages, the image pairings and orders, and many other technical issues that happen behind the scenes. Although the prep work is behind the scenes, some people might not realize exactly how much time and thought goes into it.

After a lot of research, I chose to go with KLO Portfolios and use plastic sleeves to protect my print from fingerprints or other potential accidents. My portfolio is 11x14 because I couldn’t imagine people looking through an 11x17 portrait sized book. Unfortunately that meant not all of my images could be as full bleed as I wanted them to be since I cropped the book smaller, but I still went for full bleed and gave the other images dark borders behind. To push my portfolio even further, I added two pictures on every page, but in three different instances, I used one image on a page as a page break, and transition.  The average number of pages you should have in a portfolio book is 15-20 that display your best technical and creative skills in a constant manner that reflects you’re branding and aesthetic. Before all the images, I have a cover page with my logo and contact information, then an artist statement. The artist statement describes my work and how I became the photographer I am.(all in the same dark blue color as my logo “B”)  My portfolio book itself, is white, and has my logo in the middle.

I have been getting quite a few requests to see my printed portfolio from people that could not make it to my graduation.  I thought this would be a good way to show it, in order. Although I realize seeing a digital image and seeing a print are very different in all aspects, I tried my best to show you the flow, sequencing, and the images themselves.  So here it is everyone from beginning to end. I hope you enjoy it.

I Graduated

     The moment I have been waiting for the last (almost) 4 years has came and gone. Let me start from the beginning. I started college at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in August of 2012. In that time I worked my butt off to get as much information, work, and experience that I could get. I was even the President of the Circular Photo Club in my school. Then all of a sudden, I was graduating. March 25, 2016. I want to say this came out of nowhere, but Id be lying. It came up too quickly is more of an appropriate phrasing. I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Photography.

     The week of March 20-26th was one of the busiest weeks of my life.  Many people know that my boyfriend lived in West Virginia. So I would go see him every weekend. In the beginning of the week I was in West Virginia helping him pack since he moved up to Michigan with me. When my portfolio show came around, the next day, it was one of the most stressful days of my life, and the very next day at 6:30 am,. my boyfriend and family were packing up my apartment, and I moved to Michigan.  That was just a little bit of a life update for you all on where I am. Now I’ll tell you more about graduation!  

      At the Art Institute, we have these quarterly portfolio shows where all the graduates present their best work. These get show to our professors, employers, friends, family, and the general public.  In order to graduate, not only must you participate in the show, you need to put together a print portfolio, web portfolio, resume, show you have social media platforms, promotional pieces, and a display.  For your displays, you can do just about anything you want as long as it fits your brand. I have seen some amazing and creative displays.  Being the perfectionist I am, I spent many hours and days stressing over every detail. 

     I started with drawing out ideas for my display.  I had a lot of help on my display.  I could not have done it without them actually.  the four wonderful people that helped me were  Mel, who got was able to help show us what we needed to make this happen, and also was able to borrow a truck and bring all the materials to the school. The other three fantastic people that helped me out were Paige Piotti, Jackie Pickens, and Jackie’s dad who came in super early and put my board together. Shelves, legs and all.  They were also both graduating that day which makes them even more amazing. The most nerve wracking part of it did not know until the morning of portfolio show if my display would actually stand because the ceilings were too low to bring it in finished and had to be put together on site. I decided to keep my design simple. The board was painted dark blue, to match the dark blue in my logo, and I had my logo with pictures on all sides to draw you in to my table.

     My promotional pieces were a lot of fun. I made two variations of chopstick labels, both blue raspberry flavor to match the color of my logo.  One was a clear tube; the other had a white tube.  I also had stickers on my table of my images, and my logo. I also had goodie bags.  Blue drawstring bags each filled with 4 blueberry hard candies, a candy bracelet, my business card, and one of each tube of chopstick.  They were a hit. I made 50 and had 1 left at the end.

     On my display I had two PGH You magazines that are student published magazines that I had work in, as well as my iPad with my website up I also had my business cards, and resumes.. My business cards and resumes are all he same fonts and colors as my logo. I also had a contest drawing where people put their name and number on a slip of paper, and you could win a print of your choice. (Winner revealed soon!)

     Finally, the biggest part of the entire display, my print portfolio. I chose to work with KLO Portfolios based out of Vancouver. I just love how it came out and would recommend using them for your portfolio case. I went with white acrylic case with my logo both in the middle. The “b” was surface printed, and the “e” and “photography” were both engraved and color filled around with the same colors as my logo as well.  Inside. Along with my cover and artist statement are full bleed fashion and advertising images.

     With all the running around of the day, I completely forgot to take a lot of pictures. I only got a few of me and my display by myself unfortunately. But here is the final display, which so much work went into, and so many people helped me make this happen. I would like to thank everyone that came to support me and everyone who pushed me through as well as making this possible.

     Although I did not take any other pictures myself, there was a student photographer going around. These are some of my favorites as well as my fellow friends and photography graduates. I want to give them special thanks for all of your advice and options. I’ve spent a lot of time with great friends and great artists. Which helped make this an awesome presentation? This blog post is dedicated to everyone that turned this into a reality! Thank you so so much for all your hard work and stress relieving tactics!

     Just For fun, here are a few behind the scenes images from my social media platforms about graduation.

PGH YOU Magazine

      Right before my final quarter in school, I got the opportunity to take a class about working in a magazine, and learning about how to collaborate with other designers and clients. This was a really big opportunity for me to meet new clients as well.  
 
      PGH YOU Magazine was entirely a student based magazine. Even our editor in chief was a student. We all voted together to choose the name, the cover, demographics, even the content. After all that stuff was finally taken care of, we were able to get into the fun stuff! Planning and executing our shots and pages. 
 

     I worked with three different graphic designers and 2 sets of clients. The graphic designer I worked the closest with was Kirra Stemler. We were assigned to full page spreads. Together we came up with the page layout and the images we should use.  One was an article called "Beauty on a Budget" the other article was called "T Line Adventures".  I also did two ads for the magazine. The first ad was for G6 Sports Nutrition, who I worked with the graphic designer Kendra Saffell. The second ad I worked on was an ad for Jerry Records, and my graphic designer was Amber Wellman. 
 
     This was probably one of my favorite classes I took while I was in college because it gave me a chance to learn the industry in a new way. Hearing about it and actually being a part of it are two completely different learning experiences. 

Below are the images in spreads enjoy!
 

Metallic Beauty

     A few months ago I got the opportunity to work with two friends to make some amazing images. My makeup artist Paige, air brushed my model Bria silver, added some glitter and gems to her shoulders and collar bones to make some fantastic images. It was a tough shoot since we ended up having to use a closet to photograph in, but we made it work and i'm very happy with the results given the circumstances I hope you are as well!  

     Here are two of the images! Enjoy:)

Polaroids

     A few months ago I worked on a collaboration project with three of my fellow photographers and friends to come up with an advertisement. The company we chose was Instagram. We decided to do double branding and use polaroids to emphasize what Instagram tries to reference. Three of us did images and one of us put together a video. Unfortunately I only have my image, and the video which we all worked hard to create. My friend and fellow group member, David Becinski went above and beyond with the post- production.

     This was the image I made, as well as David's video below. Enjoy!  

 

Website update

     I just wanted to let you all know, to go check out my new/updated website sections!

     The new section is called "Spreads". In this new section, you will find all of my published work, and where it was published.

    The updated sections are called "Quick Portfolio", "Fashion", and "advertisement". (Fashion and Advertisement can be found under books). Inside these updated sections you will find new work, and a new sequential order of all the images.

     I have been working hard to produce a lot of cohesive work to show you, I hope you enjoy it, and Below will be a sample of some of the new work now on my website, but if you want to see more you'll have to check it out on your own! :]

PSA First Try

     I have really been thinking about how much water we use on a daily basis lately as well as how much trash we as humans put out into the world daily.  That is why I tried my very first PSA, To show how important it is to keep the world clean, before we are all stuck drinking trash filled water, and living in a see of plastic bottles.

     Making this PSA took a lot of strange combinations of objects.  The water in the bottle itself came from a water treatment park called Wingfield Pines, so in order to get the natural rust water in the bottle, I had to actually get in the water! That was definitely not the high point of my day, but totally worth it. The second part of this process was going through my apartment and grabbing anything and everything that would fit in a bottle. There is even a plastic knife and tin foil ball that got shoved into the bottle. The last part of the shot process was trying to move the objects in the bottle around while in the bottle of water. (Just as hard as it sounds). well, I hope you enjoy the image!
