Well, hey there!

Welcome to my blog! Wanna know what one of my most favorite parts of being a photographer has been? It's seeing the reaction of those I photograph upon seeing the final results. The excitement and the joy... for once someone else can feel and understand the very same passion and excitement that I find for photography and art! And I hope that with this blog, those visiting it will be able to experience the same feeling of awe and joy that I feel as a photographer each and every time I take a photograph. Enjoy!

Plants... and My Brother.

I haven't exactly had much time to take any pictures lately because of school. argh. Humanities class has got me running in circles and pulling my hair out. I've already kissed my 4.0 good-bye... and it hasn't even gone yet. poo. I've be trying to de-stress by watching trailers on youtube and mindless movies like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "13 Going on 30"... haha. Now I await the chance to rent "Bride Wars."

If Flickr were a candy, it'd be a Life-Saver. Ba-da-dush. Lame, yes I know. But Flickr has been so good to me. I find a lot of inspiration and there are just times where I'm so awestruck that I just can't stop myself from searching for more opportunities to get awestruck.

Anyways, I've got some photo shoots scheduled for the near future, so watch out! And contact me if you need a photographer... because quite frankly, I need you (because my brother is a moody model. ha. jk.) But seriously, senior portraits, engagement sessions, family portraits, baby sessions, etc. I'm up for it!

<3,
-Mae

I Thank You for Telling Me I Can't, Without You I Wouldn't Be Where I Am..

My new red umbrella... This came out so crisp, I had to share.

To Whom It May Concern... AKA my AWESOME friends :D

I just gotta say how AWESOME my friends are! I already know that they are there for me to vent to, to cry on their shoulder, to laugh and play jokes on, for me to get built up spiritually by them, to talk about boys and life and people who have such audacity and whatever else may come to mind, to talk and trade college homework/exam complaints, to swap stories of when we were growing up, to share food with, to buy and share Chick-Fil-A French fries with at like 8:00 o’clock in the morning, for me to draw funny stick figures of them, to go out in early morning service, to be my guitar buddies, to eat at Daylight Donuts, to serenade with my wonderful *chuckle, chuckle* mesmerizing voice and mad guitar playing skills, to burn a million and one CD’s for each other, to introduce to new music to each other, to throw worms at, to come to for advice on anything and everything… and now, they have proven that they’ve got my back when it comes to something like this. I seriously didn’t think that I’d get this much support! I wasn’t quite serious about anything…And although things haven’t quite taken off yet… heck, even if they don’t, I still know that I have the BEST friends in the ENTIRE world!! Thanks Colbi, Shogo,Jessica, Alycia, Heather, and Rohit!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH!

First Serious Photo Shoot!

Okay, so today, I did my first, serious photo shoot with two really good friends! I was really nervous #1 because I'd never done something like this before. #2 I was scared that I would do a horrible job. Amazingly, some really nice shots came out of the shoot. And I was able to learn a few things that I needed to work on.

Since when have I gotten so into photography?! I mean, I've always loved it, but I never thought I'd completely learn it, let alone come to understand it. But I really feel as if I'm getting there. Love it soooo much!!














And now... some random shots I've taken...
