It's those things you're not looking for...

As a photographer, I take so much joy in finding small things like this
that make my heart beat a little faster
and my camera lens a little fuller.

Julia.

I want to practice portrait photography as much as I can this summer, so that means all my gorgeous friends from home are on speed-dial. Meet Julia.

 Every time I looked through the viewfinder,

it felt like her eyes were going to melt my camera.

My friend Caitlin Watkins is graduating from Empire Beauty School today. Yesterday she turned her friend Kelsey and me into works of art and asked me to photograph the results for her portfolio. I'm new to fashion photography, but I was more than happy to take on the challenge. The entire process took place in her kitchen. No salons or photo studios were used in the making of these gorgeous pieces of work.

If you live in the Scranton PA area, look up Caitlin Watkins on Facebook and contact her for all your hair and makeup needs! She really has talent, and an amazing personality to boot. She's a joy to be around, and she will make you look and feel absolutely stunning.
