The Girls

Tori, Lane, and I explored the frozen tundra that is the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus. We visited Lincoln Hall, The Student Union, and ended at Tori's apartment.

I love how these turned out. We just took our mutual day off to hang out and get some pictures at the same time.

I'll be finishing out with some business headshots from my Shih Tzu, Elle.

Lane and Hugo

This weekend I went out with the sole purpose of shooting film for the first time. However, I wanted to get warmed up with my usual camera first. Here are some pictures from a walk with my sister, Lane, and her pit bull, Hugo.

Styling the dress form

For Christmas this year I got many different photography-centric things. My sister got me a monogrammed leather camera strap (brownie points forever for that one), I got some building supplies for studio stuff, and I got a dress form.

So, today, I decided to play with the dress form. I bought some tulle ($25) and made a skirt by hand stitching it to elastic.

Then, I found a blue dress my sister left here and put it underneath the skirt. I bought some flowers on sale from Michael's last year ($25). Last, we have some butterfly broaches from my grandmother.

All in all, the only thing I had to buy was the tulle, and I think it looks fabulous.

Monica

For the last Photo Club of my life we went to my favorite building in Trastevere. It's where I shot the dancers, Michela and Vanessa, it's where I did Amy's headshots, and it's the same place I've been kicked out of more than once during Photo Club. It seemed like a proper natural conclusion.

Not only was the building consistent with its perfection, but the grounds in the back were amazing as well. We went around sundown AKA the Golden Hour, and it was perfection.
