Toe Shoe Tuesday - Kelli

most of my shooting has happened out of my area. whether it has been down the freeway in one direction or the other, i just found more excitement in buildings in places away from me. i took advantage this past weekend and met up with kelli in my town, and used the big event hall as our shooting location. i'm finding myself incorporating stairs quite a bit. they're just so useful!
kelli did such a great job, we were done shooting in no time! it was so nice of the sun to be out for us as we were shooting. it remained rain free, which was a huge plus!

Toe Shoe Tuesday - Katelyn

if i was to guess -and i'm generally good at guessing- katelyn is probably about my height, if not SUPER close. therefore, adding another member to the super cool, super legit tall ballerina club. i met her for the first time at the start of our shoot, and she was SO much fun to work with. i've shot down on vernon street before, but having a ballerina is a totally different experience than shooting there with a bride. was it any less fun? no way! i just love the funky colors of this area, and how well the vintage-esque architecture contrasted with katelyn's simple dance ensemble. and i totally love how the date on the marquee has not been changed in months.
fun fact: we totally jerry-rigged her skirt. THAT was half the battle in itself to get it to look right on a taller ballerina. good thing us ballerinas can be crafty with bobby pins!

Toe Shoe Tuesdays

thats right! with the excitement of my senior portfolio building this semester, i figured it would be best to feature one of the edits from the week here on the blog. excitement is interchangable with the word "stress," right? the images shown week to week may or may not be used as the "final" in the project, but they were selected as a favorite of mine (and given the honor of being posted under this cheesy blog title). so without further aideu, here is the first one!megan and i shot in old sacramento this past sunday and had a great time wandering around and finding cool locations to shoot. From just the one block that we wandered around, there were SO many different location opportunities to shoot at. we found this awesome spot in a back alley sort of area facing this massive grassy area. we even got lucky enough to shoot inside the candy store :)
fun fact: this same spot is where megan's sister took her senior portraits. she climbed on top of her car, and on to that little ledge up top as her sister drove her car away to get the shot. oh the things we daring people do ;)
