Week 03 – One with Nature Pt. I

Week 03 – One with Nature Pt. I

While I was sitting the meditation course this summer, I spent a lot of time enjoying the beauty of nature that surrounded me. It’s amazing what you’ll see when you allow yourself to take the time to just sit and witness. I especially loved watching the trees, I would spend hours just laying in the…

Week 02 – It’s Raining Man

  Wait, did you think I meant it would be just girls in bikinis?? You should have known better than that… There’s not much story to this photo except that it was a hot, summer day and some friends were having a pool party, so I brought my gear and we played around with splashing,…

Hebby & Courtney Portrait Session

Hebby & Courtney Portrait Session

I got the chance to spend an entire evening shooting photos of my good friend Hebby and his girlfriend (my new friend) Courtney, and we had a blast! We hit up a few different locations in the downtown KC area including the Union Station, the Kauffman Center, as well as an alleyway in between the…

Emerald City Gymnasts

Emerald City Gymnasts

Working in a Gymnastics Gym (with a Rock Climbing Wall on the back wall), it never occurred to me (until recently) that I should take photos of these amazing young athletes. I often get distracted while at work just witnessing them doing phenomenal physically-demanding movements on rings, bars, poles, and floors. Wanting to expand my…

Week 01 – Be here now.

  First official Project 52 photo!! The idea behind this self-portrait is all about being present and aware. I recently sat a Ten-Day Vipassana Mediation Course that taught me so much about living a peaceful and positive life, and this inspired me to create something that symbolized the peace on the inside, even while things…

Horseshoe Canyon Ranch Climbing

Horseshoe Canyon Ranch Climbing

If you don’t know this by now, I’m a climber. I love to climb. I love climbers. I love climbing with climbers. I especially love it at this gem of a place in Arkansas. It’s a 5 hour drive from Kansas City, but well worth the weekend visit. Especially if you pick up sparklers on…

Week 0 – Project 52

Week 0 – Project 52

  To start things off, I thought I’d do a BTS (behind the scenes) of the Project 52 Promo Photo. This image was pretty simple to create, though it required creating a blue background from scratch because, unfortunately, I don’t have an awesome blue wall like that where I live. I did, however, have a…

Project 52

Project 52

  I have officially decided to start my very own Project 52. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it basically means that I plan to shoot, edit, and post one self-portrait every week for one year (52 weeks in a year, get it?) with the intention to improve my skills and…

Pool Party

Pool Party

There’s nothing like a good pool party with new friends! I decided to bring my camera gear and setup lights for some diving board shots, and I’m really happy with how they turned out. I got tons of greats photos, but these ones were some of my favorites. For some of these shots, I played…
