For this project, I photographed headshots for two clients in a controlled lighting studio environment. This experience allowed me to work with studio lighting setups to create clean, professional portraits, while guiding each subject to capture confident, authentic expressions suited for professional use.

This outdoor pregnancy announcement session focused on capturing both intimate moments and meaningful details. I photographed styled still images of props, including a baby onesie and toys, alongside posed portraits that emphasized a warm, natural connection between the couple. Together, these images create a cohesive sense of excitement for this new chapter.

For this birthday photoshoot, I collaborated with a client to bring her vision of a fun, girly, pink birthday social media post to life. I styled and photographed the set, directed posing, and edited the images to match the desired aesthetic. The final deliverables included both edited photographs and a custom graphic designed to help celebrate.

Titled “Rooted in the Breeze” with the subtitle “freely I roam, and still, I belong,” this series of ten photographs was created for a small book exploring sequencing, editing, text, and format. Captured in my hometown on a small farm, the images reflect my renewed appreciation for my roots and convey that while life evolves, we always have a place to return to. Photographed cattle symbolize farm life and a spirit of freedom, while the land represents both familiarity and vast opportunities. Playful elements like a cartwheel and tire swing evoke movement, change, and nostalgic childhood memories. After shooting, I refined the images in Photoshop, applying selective blur effects and an old-fashioned black-and-white filter to unify the series and enhance its reflective tone.

For this digital media assignment, I explored a series of visual themes—contrast, saturated landscape, letterform, and reflection—through photography and post-production. I traveled throughout Columbia, Missouri, capturing compositions that aligned with each concept, then used Adobe Photoshop to enhance and manipulate the images to more clearly communicate each theme.
