Hi Friends! I’m looking for a little help. 📸
I’m currently enrolled in a 6-week course in Environmental Photography—photography that captures people in the environments where they live, work, rest, or play.
I’ve included three examples above from my work in previous classes so you can get a feel for the type of photography I’m working on.

Over the next few weeks, my assignments are:
1. Outdoor with natural light
2. Indoor with natural light
3. Outdoor with artificial light
4. Indoor with artificial light

So, I’m looking for people who would be willing to let me photograph them for one of these assignments. Do you or someone you know need some fresh photos for work, a business, or personal social media?

I’d love to photograph you, and my services are completely FREE.
If you’re interested, or know someone who might be, please send me a DM. I’d be so grateful! ❤️

I thought it was fitting to share my last wedding of 2024 on the last day of 2024! It was a special one filled with a hidden and unique first look location, a restyled wedding dress that her mom and grandma wore, stunning fall colored flowers, stories of outdoor adventures in a Jeep (which was their ceremony getaway car), and an overall relaxed and fun atmosphere at the most down-to-earth yacht club around! ⚓️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because of their love of the outdoors, I tried something new and created a unique double exposure image that looks completely different from anything I’ve done before (last photo)! I combined a portrait from their wedding day with a photo from my own travels in Alaska. I also thought it really stood out in black and white. Catch a glimpse at the end and let me know what you think! 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, I’m loving seeing all these end of the year recap posts, so I’ll have some of my own 2024 highlights to share with you this week!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy New Year, friends!! 🥳

Where my ladies at?!

Each of these looks is a custom creation inspired by the fun, colorful femininity that comes through so vividly in floral block prints crafted in India. Two weeks after Max and I got engaged I was there and purchased all the textiles you see here. Thanks to my girls for being the best models 🥰, @alek_sandra_d and @studiorenofficial for making my vision 3D, and to @kirbayjo for capturing it all!

Also, this look is one of the most favorite things I’ve ever designed. Originally planned as my rehearsal dinner outfit, made the covid pivot to my prefect beach wedding dress. Thank you for helping bring my vision to life @alek_sandra_d @libertyfabrics 🌻💕
