[ 2018 ] portrait. personal. travel. warren. ri.
to be honest, these yearend reviews are more for me than for you. it is a way to look back on the year to see where i have grown, how i have stretched myself creatively + what i need to focus on in the coming year. a reminder to be grateful seeing families evolve + grow as well as to be open to new opportunities. it keeps me in check. 2018 brought me family portraits, baby portraits, pet portraits, engagement sessions + personal projects. it brought me travel photography projects to distances such as california, greece, + israel. looking back it has also made me want more. more diversity in projects as well as subject matter. more travel. more pet portraits. more photography
but for now here is my non-wedding photos year in review

[ mandy ] portrait. warren. ri.
so i admitted to my husband last night that i like barry manilow + i guess now to you as well. why am i telling you this? well, because of the title post [mandy-duh] + because i am open to being a little vulnerable. this shoot was done at the end of my winter hibernation. i hadn't picked up my camera in months + i was in some serious need of getting out of my website designing funk + actually creating something. so an opportunity arose to shoot in a quirky old school. mandy, a dear + willing friend agreed to be the life in these school still-life series. i admit i didn't really have a focus. i just wanted to shoot. to play with light + shadows. but i feel like without a point of view i may have failed but i blame being just newly out of hibernation.
so here is our little adventure in an old school.
[thank you mandy for playing along!]
