Thinking about the future is scary. So instead of looking so far ahead, I focused this post on my immediate future. Last weekend we were able to visit camp Skylark Ranch for the first time since the fire. It was a moving experience and the future of the camp is looking bright. This summer I…

I love looking at food photography (it makes up most of my Instagram explore page), but when it comes to photographing food I just can’t seem to get it right. So instead of photographing only food, I decided to use this photo from the back to school tailgate at the beginning of the year. Food…

As a second semester senior with so much going on, I chose to focus my current events photoblog on the current events happening in my life. Over ski week, I went to Arnold with my friends and we had an amazing time relaxing and exploring. One of the highlights of the trip jumping into the…

I believe this picture really captures the intimate feeling of hanging out in the Freestyle studio with friends. Music is something that connects people, and I am grateful for the Freestyle studio and Freestyle friends like Megan.
