2015

The only thing I'm truly disappointed about in this year is my lack of shoots. I only have myself to blame, but for 2016 I have some amazing things up my sleeve...at least I'd like to think so. I want to focus more on living outside of the box when shooting. I don't really have a choice in that since moving anyways and I've been on the look out for some good scenery (which is my favorite part about being back in Austin). 

But here's a bit of what I did get done this year. See ya, 2015. On to the next one...

Neighborly

I few months ago my dear friend Kyndra and I took a couple snaps around her neighborhood and chatted about life goals and photography. This girl is not only gorgeous but a wonderful photographer herself! She shoots and models the Free People Fort Worth instagram  and shoots film freelance. Even her husband, Trevor is an amazing photographer and artist himself, working along side her from time to time.

You can see more of her work on her site and Facebook!

In An Instant

I never really did an "end of 2014" post and we're almost done with January. I just got back from a brief vacation and I feel finally ready to start (and finish) all the projects I have twirling around in my mind. 

These are some of the polaroids I've taken over the last few weeks 2014. I'm getting back into the swing of instant photos, my first true love. I look up to so many artist like  Lou Noble and Autumn De Wilde; I've been following their work since my prime Tumblr and Flickr infatuations. Lou's polaroid portraits really sparked something in me when I was about 18 and I've been in love ever since. Also, I've been working in my 35mm camera into shoots as well. Although my DSLR will always be number one for many obviously reasons, I do still love shooting film whenever I can.

P.S. plus shooting more video because that's just a fun extra. 

little here + little there: Party Edition, vol. 3

For the past two years I've been documenting Reggie's birthday parties...mainly because by the end of the night everyone was at our apartment. This year he opted for more of a birthday outing which was actually really nice to not have the stress of cleaning and buying food! But I didn't really see lugging around my camera in a bar was an option for me for obvious reasons. I decided to order some film for my Polariod 300 so I wouldn't get too distracted with picture taking :). It went pretty well! Plus I love shooting instant; it's so much fun. 

2012 Reflections

This past year has a whirl wind. I definitely feel like everything flew by almost too fast for my liking, but here we are. 2013 will be a very special year for me, I feel it. Photographically I've grown so much and I'm still surprised by my progress sometimes. I'm not being cocky by any means but noticing your own growth, I believe, is a positive thing.

I can't wait to see what this new year has in store! Reggie and I have a lot projects in the making so I'm going to help us stay focused on it.

so here's a couple snaps from this past year. it's so hard to choose a few because I love most of the work i've produced.

Kyndra DelRosso

I've wrote this blog over three times (stupid computer is taunting me) but to keep it simple it's like this:

There aren't a whole lot of people I just sort of click with. I hate saying that but it's totally true for me. However, I had no problems like that with this girl.

Kyndra is awesome, hands down. She didn't even mind that I kidnapped her all day and waited so long that we only went to one locations. There I said it. But hey, I was just trying to give her a good time! Either way I'm super excited to do this again. Maybe next time I'll be more prepared? We'll see.
