Lane and Marcus

What are friends for, other than modeling for you? I honestly don't know. Because I feel like thats the only thing I use my friends for. Just kidding. But for reals, I do have the best friends.
Lane Edmunds is the best, he just said "yes" when Marcus asked him if he wanted to model for me. And I'm so grateful, I normally just shoot girls, which is somewhat easier. But Lane was a dream, so nice, and fairly comfortable in front of the camera.
And Marcus well he is ALSO the best. :) He even let me use his lens!!! I have a nicer camera body than Marcus but his lens are like 100 times better than mine, so it doesn't even matter. Someday I'll get my own. :)

Thanks guys.  

Then Marcus climbed into a freaky shack. All for the perfect lighting. And perfect it was.

This is the Marcus "Critter" face. :)

p.s. The last photos, I really just needed another vertical photo to go with Marcus' super studly one. So this was a photo I took the other day, and I just threw it up there. Don't worry about it. But that house is like a block away from mine...and I love it.

Road Trip!

The perfect Road Trip always includes a stop at a sketchy Rest Stop.

and a friend who is always willing to model. 

Thanks Boo.

Miss Kayla Ann

Oh this girl. She is great. Thoughtful, loyal, and does the best smeagol impression- like ever.

Oh and did I mention funny?! 

Favorite.

The Proposal.

I've known Andy for something like two years now, and I've never seen him this nervous. Or nervous at all. But today he looked like a little boy about to have his first kiss, and I know this was not their first kiss. He planned everything, down to the exact spot to kneel down. He tested out both knees, did a few dances and then headed out to get the girl.

Andy is a light programmer at school (meaning he sets/ programs the lights for all the shows on campus) so he programmed the lights for this big moment. The plan was to bring her in to the auditorium where he had a single flashing light on the middle of the stage. He planned on walking in, bringing her on stage and then leaving her to go "check out" the mysterious light. But when they got there she clung onto his arm and wouldn't let go because, honestly it was a freaky scene. Andy being a pretty determined guy basically ran away for her, so that the plan would work. The lights went black, and returned with a spot light, Andy on one knee, and a completely shocked Raven. He proposed, she said "Yeah". And then they slow danced, and kissed as our friend Micheal played an original piece.

It was magical, and made us all tear up. 

My favorite part was Raven's response, she went from being scared, to shocked, to the happiest girl in the world. Raven is my new friend and roommate, and she is literally the coolest girl ever. 

I'm so happy for you two. Thanks for letting me capture this special moment. 

And look at this bling!

I love, love.

Preview: Of the Lovely Kayla

Kayla Ann used to be my only model. And she is the best because of that. She put up with so much from me, and did it with a smile. It's been a long time since I last shoot Kayla, toooo long. :) So we went on a little adventure and took some really good ones (in my opinion).
Kayla is my favorite because she is so full of attitude, and they really show in photos. Also we have the same sense of humor so it's easy to make her laugh. Which makes me laugh, and makes for a bunch of blurry photos. But this one I kind of like, like a lot. Normally this would drive me crazy, because literally nothing is in focus, but that's also kind of why I like it.

and to prove she has attitude here is one more....well three more.

This is also her new hoodie what a fun color!!
