Simple Thanks...

I have to start this post by thanking some people.

Guess I'll start with Kelsey Bigelow...she's been uber helpful with the whole "blogging" thing. I just feel so useless when trying to figure all this out with html codes, etc. And half the time, I don't know what to say. ;) But Kelsey's a pro...not only at photography, but at design, blogging, and her ability to be a friend. Muchas Gracias, lady. xo

I should also thank Courtney Roxanne...for being just amazing. She's been so helpful with my own photography growth and she's always inspiring me to work harder. I can't say I would have accomplished as much without her...or the next person...

Junichi Arakawa! Juni has been nothing short of an amazing friend. And it was because of him that I wanted nothing more than to shoot fashion. He's taught me a lot about patience, ethics, and genuinely "classy" photography. These two have become some of my very best friends in the world...I can venture to bet that many people will never meet such friends as these.

I can only hope that one day, I can help someone the way these three helped me! Obviously there are others I can thank...but maybe we'll get to that in another post. For now, here are some shots I've recently taken. I've been blessed beyond imagine with amazing models and talent the last few weeks. I have tried to do their gorgeous faces justice, but if nothing else, I have made some amazing new friends!

Happy Spring! Take it all in, everyone.
