If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you’ll recall that about a year ago I joined a small Facebook group called Shoot and Meet. Shoot and Meet is a group that organizes events for local photographers every few months to network and photograph each other. At first I was really shy about getting to…
High school. It’s that time when you’re starting to figure out who you are and where you want to go in life. A rite of passage. Photographing teens/high schoolers has unexpectedly become one of my favorite parts of this career. Especially for the ones I photographed when they were little. To me, it’s an honor…
