Photo Diaries: February 2016

2016

Hey everyone! So, I think it’s safe to say that February flew by pretty quickly. It seems like I was just counting down the days to go home for my dad’s birthday and now it’s March. That’s just how life is!


Going back to February, I honestly had a few more adventures and photo ideas planned out, but, like I said, time got away from me. That’s okay, though, because now I just bumped them over to March, and that just means more content for me to have. So be on the look out for all of that!
Not too much happened this month. Between working and heading home for a few days, it was hard to find the time to want to go out and explore. Aside from grabbing some lunch or dinner and heading to Melrose to check out some live music, the main outing we had was visiting The Getty Center. This day, Lyle and my cousin Marissa grabbed some Lemonade for lunch and then some coffee. After, we headed to The Getty Center to check out some art! There was a lot of interesting pieces here and we definitely intend on checking it out again since we ran out of time. We were out on one of the terraces taking photos when a lady came to yell at us that they were closed. Note: they closed at 5:30 and it was 5:32.
Anyway, I’m not really one of those people to take my camera everywhere and say “Wait! Don’t eat that.. I have to take a picture of it first!” (although sometimes I’ll do that for snapchat…). I also tend to feel like I’m not really living the moment when I have my camera on hand. It’s tough for me to find a balance, but I’m trying. I really just want to be able to put up more content! So, just be on the lookout for new blogposts coming up this month. I do have some planned and hopefully they’ll all work out fine! Thanks for reading! xo

Photo Diaries: January 2016

2016

Hey guys! So, I decided to do this monthly series of recapping little moments throughout the month. This could be anywhere from mini adventures to random shoots to just any other photos or events that I feel like sharing with you all!

I started off January and the new year in Texas. We had gone home for the holidays so it was nice to be home with family. We headed back to California during the next week and decided to take an alternate route for a pit stop.

Salvation Mountain is a place that I have wanted to check out for quite some time now. Located in Slab City in Niland, California, it is an installation piece created by Leonard Knight. The entire structure is made from materials such as adobe mud, paint, tires, straw, windows and tree limbs.  It is said to be his tribute to God and his way of portraying the powerful message of God is Love. I definitely felt a sense of peace and calmness being there. It was such a humbling place to be and I’m so glad we got to visit!

Moving on, my mom bought these cute coffee mugs for me and Lyle for Christmas, and I thought it would be fun to take some photos with them. Since moving to LA, this was the first time I busted out my studio setup and it was nice to find a place in our apartment to shoot.

So, that pretty much sums up my January! We also spent many hours in traffic going to DTLA to hang out with my cousin (haha) and got to spend Miclynn’s birthday weekend with her! I already have lots of ideas planned for next month so be ready to check those out! Thanks for your support as always!
