Portraits with Nicolette

Nikki and I were portrait partners for the photo class I'm in right now, and our assignment was to take two portraits: one that was "real" and one that was "ideal."  That whole idea is open to interpretation, but these are the two I ended up liking best of Nikki.

For the "real" portrait, I asked Nikki where she feels most comfortable or most herself on campus, and her answer was the library, so we went and shot there.  I'm guessing the librarians weren't pleased with the massive number of books we had off the shelves.

Nikki balances a lot of things in life, like any good college student, so we played with this idea a bit more with her "ideal" portrait.  

Kristin and Brad

I had the pleasure of shooting with another one of my roommates and her boyfriend this weekend.  The shoot was last minute so I struggled a bit with the lighting.  Brad and Kristin are adorable together, though, so they definitely made up for it :)

Kristin and Brad are hilarious together and I love how great the photos turned out because of it.  

  

Oh!  and it looks like I'll be shooting my first wedding in January :)  I'm super excited.  

Earthwork

I'm not only a photography student, so here is some of the other artwork I've been doing lately.  This was a group project for class that we worked on last week.  We created art from what we found in nature, which ended up being ragweed, which one of the girls is really allergic to.  We probably should have realized that earlier... oops.

Anyway, enjoy some images from the project.  It was a lot of fun to make, though it took quite awhile...
