Week 43; Halloween Themed Pet Portraits

52 week photo challenge, 52 week photo project

Hey y’all! This week, I wanted to get into the Halloween spirit just a little and prep you guys for next week. My aunt bought Sadie a cute little Halloween tutu/costume last year when we got her and it finally fits her! It was a little snug on Sierra but I didn’t want to leave her out of the photo shoot fun! Although, it doesn’t look like either of them enjoyed being in this ridiculous thing while I snapped photos upon photos of them. If you know me, then you know I’m obsessed with my dogs. So, I may be a little biased when I say they’re the cutest pups ever! :p Until next week, I hope you enjoy! And seriously, get excited for next week because I have something super awesome planned. I don’t normally hype up my upcoming post but I’m just so excited I cant help it.

Week 42; Camera Obscura

52 week photo challenge, 52 week photo project

Hey guys! So this week, I turned my room into a giant pinhole camera! If you don’t know what that is, you can click HERE and see how it works. Basically, I covered up my windows and made my room as dark as I could. I then had a tiny opening in the cardboard covering one of my windows through which light entered my room. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I could see the image of outside sprawled across my wall. The only thing was that it was inverted. It was still something really cool to see and do in my own bedroom! Below, I added the original image as well as it upside down just so you can see it better. I hope you enjoy! And be ready for the next few weeks because I have some interested posts planned! 😀

Week 41; Familiar Silhouettes Revisited

52 week photo challenge, 52 week photo project

Hey guys! So I had a little trouble coming up with an idea for this week’s photo. I started looking to lists of photo ideas for inspiration. A lot of them weren’t anything I was interested in or anything I felt would help me really progress. However, one of them suggested fine art. When I read that, the first thing I thought of was how exactly a year ago, I was working on my senior thesis. As stressful as it was, I actually had a lot of fun with it. I sometimes actually miss school because although I was constantly busy that meant I was constantly being creative and I love that. So anyway, this week I decided to revisit my senior thesis project. Even though I had months to prepare for that, this time I only had a week. It was still enjoyable as always though! So, I hope y’all enjoy as well!

Week 40; Sun flares

52 week photo challenge, 52 week photo project

Hi guys! So, I’m not going to lie I completely forgot it was Friday. I did have a photo planned for this week but I lacked materials and couldn’t think of a good alternative of materials in time. Before I knew it, the week got away from me and I forgot I was photo-less for the week. But fear not! Thank goodness for iPhones because you have a camera and tons of editing apps at your fingertips! I almost always have some sort of inspiration floating around in my head so I was lucky I was able to work on something in such a short amount of time. Also, not saying I half assed this because I would never. Like I said, shooting with my iPhone is just quick and easy. Anyway, enough blabbering. This week’s photo is inspired purely by the golden hour’s sun & an editing style I have recently enjoyed. So I hope you enjoy as well!

Week 39; Happy 4th Birthday, Morgyn!

52 week photo challenge, 52 week photo project

Happy Friday, y’all! Welcome back to my blog! This week’s post is featuring my niece Morgyn. She’s made an appearance here and there because she’s always over at my house so of course, she’s readily available. However, this week I decided to do a regular portrait session with her for her birthday. I aimed for shooting during golden hour and I was really happy with how they turned out! Of course, she was over having her picture taken after a while but we still had tons to choose from and I actually couldn’t decide which few to post here :|. That is why I added more to my website! So you can check out more HERE. I hope y’all enjoy! Let me know what you think and be sure to check back next Friday for another post!

Week 38; Cinemagraphs

52 week photo challenge, 52 week photo project
Hey everyone & happy Friday! This week I’m bringing you a very exciting photo. Actually, it’s not just an ordinary photo. This week, I present you with a cinemagraph. For those that don’t know, a cinemagraph is a photograph where a minor and repeated movement occurs. While they are similar to GIFs, they’re still different due to the fact that there is a subtle movement. It was pretty tough to get this going at first and I definitely ran into lots of kinks. However, once I finally got all those worked out, I was pretty happy with the outcome. I can’t wait to try more of these in the future! I hope you guys enjoy it! So, until next week… 🙂

Week 37; Imagination

52 week photo challenge, 52 week photo project

Hey guys! So, I’m back again this week for another photo. I mean, obviously. 😐 Anyway, this week I decided to have a little more fun with some lighting while touching on the subject of childhood. As a kid, your imagination is wild and you can make anything happen. Some of us may lose that as we grow older and that’s a sad thought. But you don’t have to! Being young at heart and having that wild imagination that allows you to do anything is something great to hold on to for as long as you can. If you have lost that little spark, maybe you just need to look for it in a place you least expect. Until next week, I hope you enjoy!

Week 36; Film Portraiture

52 week photo challenge, 52 week photo project
Happy Friday & welcome back to my blog! This week, I’m excited to show you some work I did on film. Maria came over and we had a full day of makeup and shooting. Originally, I had a whole theme to work off of, so I did her makeup and such accordingly. I did have some other props I wanted to add but I ended up forgetting about them completely. So, this week’s photo ended up just being a nice portrait resulting from experimenting with lighting and film. I am overall very pleased with how this came out and I hope you enjoy it as well! 🙂

Week 35; Rainy Skies

52 week photo challenge, 52 week photo project

Hello everyone! I haven’t said this in a while but I can’t believe how fast this year is flying by. 35 weeks already!? Ugh. Well, moving on, if you know me then you know I LOVE when it rains. There’s something about the sound of rain falling, the gloomy skies, and cuddling up to be lazy that just makes me happy. However, earlier this week it rained at my house and there were only a few dark clouds. It was still mostly sunny and bright. It was around the time the sun was setting though so the sky eventually started changing colors. If you know I love rain then you also know I’m obsessed with sunsets. So, I was just sitting on my bed probably scrolling through Tumblr when I noticed there was a bright orange cast outside. Everything was just shining with this golden orange color and it was gorgeous. I grabbed my instant camera, since I had it out at the time, and headed outside to check out the sky. It was a beautiful mix of orange and purple and I loved it. I would have snapped hundreds of photos if I could but unfortunately, I ran out of film. However, I love the little triptych I created & I hope you do too! 🙂

Week 34; End of Summer Raspas

52 week photo challenge, 52 week photo project

Hey guys! So, sometimes I really enjoy shooting with my iPhone for these weekly blog posts. Sometimes, it’s nice to not stress over having to set up and plan an entire shoot for one photo. And this is one of those times. Today’s post is really simple. Summer is over (womp womp..) and back to school has either already started for some or is about to start for others. It’s really weird not getting ready to go back to school, even though this is my second semester out of school already. It’s just different in the fall. Anyway, in honor of summer I guess you could say, here’s a simple photo of something that screams summertime to me. Raspas are one of the things I look forward to most this season. I seriously get one maybe once a week. They’re even better with ice cream! Anyway, enjoy the deliciousness that is this photo until next week!
