Awesome Friend {Angelina}

Last week, a friend of mine and I went to visit the ministry Prison to Purpose. God taught us so much in that brief week. We cried together, laughed together, drank coffee together, took pictures together, talked, shared, encouraged, etc. We are very different--she's Canon, I'm Nikon; she has short hair, I have long; she has brown eyes, I have blue; and the list goes on and on. But we both share a common thread: a love for Jesus and desire to follow Him.

We also both share a of love for photography. Over the ten days we spent together, we did several photo shoots, meaning I got a lot of pictures (too many to post at once). So, I decided to post pictures of Angelina's (aka Babbs') beautiful face today. :)

 Airport boredom. :/

I met Babbs at a girl's finishing school over a year ago, and I hadn't seen her since then. So I was really excited to find out that we were going to be going to prison together! After our week at prison, we flew back to Texas to hang out for a few days. She is so much fun and I miss her!

LIVE. LOVE. LAUGH. CAPTURE IT!

Portraits {Mary-Kathryn}

On Wednesday, I went to a workshop put on by friend and wedding photographer, Jessica Shae (http://www.jessicashaeblog.com/). I love Jessica's work, so when I heard that she was doing a one-day workshop, I told her to sign me up! We had tons of fun!

First, we went to Jessica's house and talked about starting and running a business, Photoshop and Lightroom, etc. Then, we went to Chick-fil-A. : )   After that, we went on a photo shoot, which is what these pictures are from. We were assigned to someone to do a portrait session with. I got Mary-Kathryn! I had never met Mary-Kathryn before the workshop, and I was so excited that I got to do her photos. She is fun and likes bold colors. We both share a love for Kohls!!! She has such a sweet personality, and I look forward to keeping in touch with her!

Jessica also took pictures of each one of us. : D  Next, we went to a library and edited our photos. Then, we watched Jessica do an "engagement" shoot. The couple was already married, but Jessica decided to set it up like an engagement shoot so that we could see how she interacts with a couple that is in love. ; )Then we went to Chipotle, then to a frozen yogurt place.

All that to say, I had a great time and I got some great pictures of Mary-Kathryn. Thanks for being such an awesome model, Mary-Kathryn! And, thank you Jessica for investing in the lives of up-and-coming photographers! And, thanks, fellow students for making it a fun day!!!
