Two become One.

Jessika gave me an incredible opportunity- to take pictures at her wedding! Even though she had hired a photographer already (who was very generous to let me get in on the action), she let me snap some pictures! I was so excited because this is my first wedding photographing, and boy, I LOVED every second of it! Thanks SO much, Jessika! You are awesome, and congratulations :)

An adorable flower girl, she was entertaining herself by spinning around :)

Ditched the shoes.

The first time that I saw your face... Okay I had to :)

Love this.

Mirrors, Clocks, and Abandoned Lots.

Brooklyn is basically my photo shoot buddy. We are always doing different shoots with other people or just us. And it won't stop now- we have plenty more ideas up ahead ;) Today, our idea was to go for a vintage-y look. We smeared dark eye-makeup on, messed up our hair, threw some props in my car and drove around looking for a sweet spot. I'd say we found some :)

Here are some shots she took of me...






... and here's my shots of her!

Well this isn't Brooklyn, but I LOVE how the sky's reflection contrasts to the earth tones.. incredible color.



Moved to a rad spot... an abandoned piece of property with a SWEET billboard.


I think I've been on some sort of theme lately, because all my pictures have been screaming "desolate!!!" to me :)

Okay, Brooklyn... this is straight up down right flat out amazing.

Brooklyn's photography... my clock necklace and dress!

Desolation- Elk Rock Part 2 times 2.

Elk Rock Island is now one of my favorite places to go for shoots. It is so rad and changing throughout the year. In January it was about flooded over, and now, in August, it is dry and desolate (well except for the river...). It is amazing! Betsy and I did exactly what I did the other day- grabbed some Dutch love and headed to the same spot, because it is THAT cool :) We raced against the evening and did double shots first, and then singles of each other. So, the pictures of me are Betsy's work :) Overall, we had a "grand time", as she put it!



Chillin' by the river side :)

έλεος- means mercy in greek :)







Check out that HAIR!!! Gorgeous.

Drenched with sunlight.

BETSY- even more amazingness! Today was so fun :) you are freakin' stunning, all I have to say. And we shall do more!
