or trying to, at least. it was a busy weekend. starting friday when I took my car in for servicing and to finally get the winter tires off. and then that evening I had a shoot booked. to tell the honest truth, I was TIRED! but, i’ve shot with this model before so I knew we’d have a good time, regardless. i made sure to put some music on [it’s better than stifiling silence and i have to remember to […]

Got a new lens and I think I’m in love. Really sweet images, straight outta the camera. And how do I love this girl. worked with her for the first time yesterday and she is pretty awesome.
