FAQs

•DO YOU PREFER NIKON OR CANON?

I've never owned a Nikon, although I have used my friend's, but I am partial to Canon. I just love the image quality and will always be a fan.

•WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE LENS?

I love my 85mm 1.2!! I'm so excited to finally have an L lens! The focal length is great for portraits but for anything else, I go to my 50mm 1.4, soon to be 50mm 1.2. 

•WHAT DO YOU FEEL IS YOUR STRONG POINT IN PHOTOGRAPHY?

I would say my strong point is senior portraits because I've had most experience in that area. I adore portraits, especially of girls since I love the fashion side of it, but as I'm starting to grow the wedding side of my business, I'm falling more in love with couples every day. 

•WHAT EDITING PROGRAM DO YOU USE?

It's ever changing but right now I do all my editing in Lightroom 4.

•WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?

You're gonna make me pick?! Oh gosh. If I absolutely had to choose between turquoise and lime green, I guess I'd pick turquoise!! Can you tell from looking at my blog? Haha.

•WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SHOE STORE?
Well, I LOVE SHOES. That's a tough one, especially since I usually order my shoes. But I would say Frye is my favorite brand and the Belk in Charlottesville is my favorite shoe store. I have an obsession.

•WHAT ADVICE DO YOU GIVE ASPIRING PHOTOGRAPHERS?

Practice!! A LOT! All the time. And be sure to read online about shooting manually if you don't already do so. That helped me determine my shooting style. Also, invest in at least one good lens if you're serious about photography. My 50mm 1.4 has made my life so much better. And last but not least, don't compare yourself or your work to others. That will just slow you down. Be yourself and create images that YOU love.

•WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

I usually chill in my room. My room's my happy place. I listen to music or watch t.v. But I also like hiking, watching the stars at night, going to see a movie, and enjoying a good sunset. And I obviously enjoy taking pictures. :D

•WHERE DO YOU USUALLY SHOP?
Most of my wardrobe is from T.J. Maxx but I really love Forever 21, Modcloth, Tobi, Express, Gap, and American Eagle.
