meet Liz!

i stopped by my old high school a month or so ago to say hi to my teachers and principal. mrs sims was asking about my photography and such, and we got to talking about Liz, a senior that was pursuing her talents in photography. i was intrigued, and through mrs sims set up an interview with Liz. she showed me her portfolio and we chatted about our love of starbucks, chipotle, polaroids, and how we are bad at math, etc etc... so basically we hit it off :) she is super talented, and I couldn't wait to hang with her again. she helped me out at christi & jaimeson's shoot a few weeks ago, and did a great job. something about her quiet confidence and big heart made me feel totally at ease. we got together again on friday along with gracie, to purposely go out and shoot at 'bad lighting' times of day. i wanted to mess around with my old sunbounce reflector, (my new ones in the mail on its way!) and try some cool things to manipulate the light. we ended up at a boarded up victorian house down the avenue, and Liz told us stories of the fake blood and crazy things that were inside when she was there before... too bad we couldn't get in this time! we forgot about photos for the most part because we became involved in a full-fledged lizard chase. gracie was determined to capture this lizard that was stalking us, and caught it on a stick and put it in a starbucks cup, while most of the time i was squealing my head off standing a million miles away so it wouldn't jump on me...

anyways, we tried a few things with the reflector, but then decided to get chipotle then go to the beach, because man was it hot out. i love my job! anyway, heres a few more pics of Liz, she is absolutley GORGEOUS!
