Cancun

The way I like to vacation is with people I love, where no one can contact me, except via smoke signal, and even then, I'd be too far away to see. No cell signal and too-expensive-and-slow-to-use wifi is utter perfection to me.

This was a week for me to reconnect with my thoughts, uninterrupted by schedule and the repetition of every day life. It was a week for me to set intention for the near future. 

I was blessed to go on this adventure with Justin, and I can't wait to slowly but surely conquer the world with my camera and people that make my world complete. Here are my favorite snapshots from Cancun.

Double vision

In an effort to get more pretty prints on my walls in my apartment, I've been exploring double exposure edits with some of my shots. Slightly haunting and eery. Nonetheless, still beautiful. 

If you'd like to order some prints or request a custom photo edit, contact me!

My best friend and photo muse, Morgan, reminded me that about a year ago I made this mix for her. So I'm sharing it with you all! Happy summer. 

Saturday morning session: Bob + Betsy

It's back! My latest Saturday morning session from this past weekend down in Winter Park, Florida is up on my portfolio. This time, it's featuring Bob and Betsy McClelland, also known as: my parents. 

I've been wanting to photograph them for a long time now. My love of photography blossomed when I was in college, and during that four year period, I wasn't home very much. And, when I was home, I was typically catching up with my friends. Since I had a spare moment to breathe on Saturday morning before a wedding, I wanted to spend that time with my parents.

My parents are incredible people, individually and as a unit. They are the definition of commitment. Through it all, they support each other and refuse to give up. I admire them for their unwavering love for each other, God, and my brother and I. I hope someday I will blessed to find someone as committed to me as they are to each other! I love you Mom & Dad. Thanks for supporting me when I'm chasing my dreams, even when I'm sometimes unrealistic. You rock.
