Sayaka

My last shoot in Boston was with Sayaka, who is an incredible model. We shot in a tiny woodsy area near Fenway Park, and despite the sweltering heat, Sayaka was absolutely gorgeous. Though I won't miss the crazy humidity of Boston, I'll definitely miss working with the amazing community of photographers and models in the area.

Bryant Eslava is an amazing photographer with a gorgeous minimalistic style that is both breathtaking and intriguing. He recently shot this beautiful set at the White Sands desert in New Mexico, and I'm so incredibly inspired by these images. This location is definitely one of my dream places to shoot!

Home Sweet Home

My spring break is nearing its end, and I'm dreading going back to school and the cold, cold weather. I love spending time at home alone with my two adorable cats, with sunlight streaming through the windows and a good book in my lap. :)

Fragile Beauties

I still can't bring myself to throw away these rainbow roses that I got for Valentine's Day. They still look so beautiful and colorful even though they're completely dead and dry!

Demoiselle Jewels Lookbook

Last weekend I shot the Spring/Summer lookbook for Demoiselle Jewels with the amazingly talented Hello, Emy, another photographer! We shot these at the gorgeous Bradley Estate in Quincy. You can check out the rest on my Facebook page!

Rainbow Roses

The boyfriend sent me some beautiful roses for Valentine's Day! I don't really like plain red roses, so I loved this colorful bunch. I didn't do a very good job of arranging them, but just looking at them really makes my day. :)

Nicola Odemann

Nicole Odemann's photography completely takes my breath away. The perfect composition, faceless figures, gorgeous colors and the magical way that she captures light is captivating and surreal. Here are a few of my favorites, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it took me almost an hour to choose!

Fighting Nemo

Whose idea was it to name last week's storm Nemo? Whoever it was, I approve. I love the incredible amount of snow and camaraderie that comes along with a blizzard, and my favorite part is always the aftermath-- everyone is outside, there are barely any cars, everything in the city seems fresh, clean, and new.
