page 3b women.

today i did a photo shoot with another section of first-year women. this crew was from the third floor of John Page Hall and my friend Kellie is their RA, so I was thrilled to hang out with them. for those for you who don't know, i was a resident assistant on the same floor last year. so page residents always havea special place in my heart. n-e-ways, we headed down to the mission for the shoot. it started about a bit gloomy and chilly, but towards the end of the shoot, the sun came out and warmed us all up. we had a wonderful time. i am photographing a wedding in june nearby, and got so excited today about the possibilities we will have when we photograph at the mission. here are a few previews of coming attractions...click here for a slideshow.

the gala.

well, last weekend was president beebe's inagural ball and was also my last westmont dance. bummer. i love dances. and danc-ing. i am gonna miss that. n-e-ways, i had a wonderful time with my beautiful date Liane and my besties. we grooved it up to the lame techno jams even though we hated the music. we always have a good time. i may or may not have been involved in the dance competition with my dance partner annie. and we may or may not be the dance champions. haha. what do you think? the may or may not? i will leave this one up to you. ;)

ecclesia.

wow. what an honor it was to be part of my friend Zac Landrum's senior production Ecclesia: Redemption History III. This was the final installment of the trilogy that retells the Bible through art. it was powerfully moving and so many talented and amazing actors and artists were involved. here are a few of my favorites photos from the night below. slideshow here. full gallery can be viewed here.

lauren.

as you all may well know, i love sundays. church. the aloha burger at the beach grill at padaro's. rest. time with friends. volleyball with da boys in the gym. love 'em.

last sunday was one of my favorites this semester. i went to reality with one of my besties lauren keener. we had lunch afterwards at one of my favorite resturants and i introduced her to the aloha burger. we had such a wonderful time talking and sharing life-plans with each other. i adore her. and am so blessed by her constant presence, support and love in my life. she is incredible.

next, was a photo shoot with my other friend lauren salaun. we started hangin' out this year because we had a super intense rhetoric class together and had to study all the time and because she is an awesome photographer and artist. so we go on photo adventures together. this was version 2.0. it was equally exciting, random and fun as the first with a new twist: she asked me to take a few shots of her for graduation announcements. how could i resist? she is gorgeous and so photogenic. here are some of my favs.

more of my other shots from the day to come soon.
