In Front of the Camera

Everyone knows that I'm the one always behind the camera. Events, visiting with friends, traveling. My camera is always in my hand and ready to fire. I love being able to capture special memories, but the downside is that I'm rarely in any images. So when I asked Morgan (my photography buddy) if she'd be up for taking some portraits of me when she came up and visited, I was really excited when she said yes! Although I'd done tons of photoshoots with friends and family over the years, I'd never actually had a photo shoot done of myself. It was quite fun being on the other side of the camera for once!

In the morning we went to the waterfront, which was perfect for lots of photos. The lighthouse grounds are a perfect spot for portraits. Later in the evening we went around my neighborhood and up to the school yard not far from my house for some golden light shots.

I'm really happy with how these all turned out; Morg did a fantastic job! Now I have more than a just couple shots of myself that I really love. Thank you so much Morgan! Maybe we could make this an annual thing? And maybe the next time we get together I can do a photoshoot of you? :)

 

The Weeping Willow Premiere

Saturday was a big day for some friends of ours. Rogue Zohu Productions premiered Weeping Willow, a Hunger Games Fan Film at the Chalet Theater in Eunumclaw, WA. A lot of hard work and sleepless nights went into this event, but it payed off as the premiere was a huge success!
The best par is that not only is the Rogue Zohu team made up of homeschoolers and self-taught filmmakers, but the whole cast and crew for Weeping Willow are/were homeschoolers as well. Talk about awesome-sauce!
