This summer I had time to photograph Blue Ridge senior, Gabrielle. This girl was such a natural in front of the camera! Easy work.
Self portraits
I took portraits of myself when I got home in May, and now I'm doing it again right before I head back to school in Italy. So, I put some curlers in my hair and grabbed my favorite clothes and went into my parents' back yard.

I read articles about the deception of image editing, but I believe there is a time and a place for it. I am trying to make art, and the idea behind my editing and is cleaning, simplifying, and enhancing colors and features.
