Research Park

I love this picture. It's one of my favorites. I feel like it is a really strong image. It was taken in Research Park. There's color and lines with in the tree leaves, trunks, and sky. There's also lines with the sun beaming through the trees.

Piano

This is a picture of my piano. Music, just like photography, is a huge part of my life. It's help me through many situations in my life and is just something that's always been there. I am self taught on piano. I can read music, but I just choose not to. I really enjoy this photo. The black and white effect gives it a sense of simplicity and serenity. The angle, is unique, and shows a lot of lines and definition.

Sophia

This is my dog, Sophia. Dogs are one of my favorite things to take pictures of. I know, that is probably cliche, but I don't care. Dogs are so much fun. They're playful and funny, and make for great photography subjects. They have just as much personality as people in my eyes. And like people or flowers, dogs also come in so many different shapes, sizes, and colors, so they give a lot of variety and options for photographers. 

Long Live Rock & Roll

This is a picture that I took and edited of my boyfriend, Daniel. He is a musician and plays guitar. This was at a show with his old band, The First to Rise. I love this picture. The colors are so vibrant, there are plenty of lines, and I feel like it really just draws you in.

Flowers

I love taking pictures of flowers. I think they are one of the most beautiful things to photograph. There are so many different sizes, shapes, lines and colors. There are also a lot of different vantage points of flowers which means that there are so many different things a photographer could do when taking pictures of flowers.
