I’m so happy with how this shot turned out! This was walking down the streets of Mexico City— most people seemed to have bikes or scooters and used public transit.

Guess who finally got around to editing my Mexico City/Teotihuacán photos?? I really enjoyed this sign walking downtown and thought you might too.

I’m so proud of Madison for persevering through grad school and making it across the stage with her Masters!!!
This was such a fun photoshoot and I’m so thankful she asked me to take her grad photos! 🥹🥰
I guess this is where I plug that I enjoy taking portraits and am available for sessions if anyone wants their grad/senior portraits taken! 📸

Gosh I really love the values in this one. I know railroads are cliche, but if it works it works, right?

Strike a pose, there's nothing to it” 🎶

I cannot believe I didn’t share how the juried show went!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️
I had so much fun at the reception, meeting and taking with other artists, and it was such an honor to be selected as an exhibiting artist/photographer!
If you haven’t gotten the chance to see the Spartanburg show yet, it’ll be up for a few more weeks, so go check it out!

Another favorite shot from walking around downtown Portland ☺️
