favorite photos post


Listening to: Maps - Britney Spears

I haven't taken a lot of pictures lately...mostly because I haven't been inspired and haven't had time. So to get a little inspired, I just grabbed a few ( well more than a few) of my newly discovered favorite shots I've taken over the past few years.

 Not a fan of this girl. But I like this accidental picture. This was taken after Hurricane Irene.
 More Hurricane Irene aftermath. This guy is kayaking in the street - literally so bizarre to see in person as I stood on the street's other end.
 One of my all-time favorites. An elderly man in the aftermath of Irene.
 Man at Spring Lake beach observing Irene damage. Half our boardwalk was blown to pieces.
 My makeshift crucifix. I actually love this, I didn't realize someone was walking through when I took it and it turned out even better.
 My friend Victoria!
 Hannah in Victoria's new house. This is one of my all-time favorite photoshoots. The lighting was so so right.
 Victoria in her new house.
 Victoria in her new house.
 Victoria & Hannah in Vic's new house. This shoot made me realize how much I like using more than one model at once.
 Hannah & Victoria in Victoria's new house. Love the vintage wallpapers so much.
 Victoria outside her new house
 Victoria in her mom's hat. This reminds me of an old-fashioned portrait for some reason.
 I love the look of two rooms at once.
 Disliked this photo of Victoria at the time but now it's one of my new favorites.
 Seashell fingers in Florida
 Double exposure of me in Boston on film
 Double exposure of Chris on Memorial Day
 Victoria's silhouette on film.
 Boardwalk in the rain.
 My first real self-portraits. In the rain on the beach.
 I wish you could tell it's raining but I still love it.
 After that first set I became completely obsessed with self portraits. This is in my backyard.
 One of my favorite pictures of myself.
 This looks so ethereal to me, I was very proud of these photos.
 So random, but the colors in this appeal to me.
 My cousin Bianca sleeping post-modeling.
 Candid of Bianca in Asbury.
 Bianca modeling my DIY skull shirt
 I completely love this picture of Bianca and her Louboutins.
 Bianca's tattoo.
 My best friend Chris is soo photogenic...
 ...And so is his sister, Melissa!
 Chris on Asbury's coolest piece of graffiti

 Love these side-by-sides of Melissa
 Hannah in our 4th of July shoot!
 This shoot was so gimicky and cute
 My adorable boyfriend on vacation :)))
 Forced him to take these with me, and I'm so happy we have them.
 Favorite picture of us
 This photo has something like 17,000+ reblogs on Tumblr!
 I love when nature creates a beautiful photo FOR you. I can't take the credit.
 I feel like this photo sums up my summer.
 Some of the Thousand Islands. Technically, one is in Canadian waters, and the other is in US waters. The colors there are so vibrant naturally.
 Tara & her husband Ryan are the cutest couple.
 Hahahhaha, Connor pre-scuba diving.
 One of the largest yachts in the world, which we pulled up beside in a little speedboat so I could photograph it. This picture feels so Titanic-esque to me.
 This photo is so cute. It looks staged but it isn't. This was my whole vacation with Connor - spent everyday on the dock.
 More cute couple shots(:
 I think there could be so many stories put to this picture and the others from the set it's in.
 LOVE THIS. Love the effect and the water and Lauren's face and the lines. This was my first shoot with Lauren and it was totally impromptu.
 Lauren looking gorgeous and totally different than in the picture above.
 My friend Josie in the field by my house. Love these of her.
 This picture feels so summer and hippie and..warm? Yes.
 Playing around one day...Really like the colors in this though.
 NYC in my mom's wine glass.
 Melissa & Tyler! They're such amazing models.
 They could totally be in a clothing ad...
 ...Ahahah or a romantic movie!

Looking at these pictures has brought up so many memories and fun times. I can't wait to start taking even better photos soon!
