Hello there, internet friends and happy Wednesday! I’m feeling pretty accomplished today, as I sit here and write my second blog post of the week. Blogging is and always has been one of my favorite tasks, yet, when things get crazy, it always seems to be the first thing I abandon. And I know I’m not the only photog out there with this problem- I’ve noticed a major decrease is blog posts over the past year. Some of my favorite blogs to visit haven’t been updated in over a year and it has me scratching my head. So, if you’re reading this and you have a blog, please comment below. I would love for you to share a link to your blog and tell me when your last post went live. I’m looking for new blogs to follow, so please share!

I am so excited to feature another girl from our incredible 2016 Senior Model Team! Meet Ellie, she’s representing Mountain View High School, from Bend, Oregon. She came out for our Country Chic campaign shoot, which took place in Central Oregon recently. We switched things up for this session and opted for a morning shoot, which yielded a totally different lighting effect, which I loved! Ellie, I can’t thank you enough for choosing to be a part of our Senior Model Team and I can’t wait to work with you again soon! You are such an amazing, beautiful girl and working with you was an absolute treat! I hope you love your images! Much love!!
