pure beauty: kellsie g [bryan/college station, tx, portrait photographer.]

Good morning, friends, and happy new year! I certainly have missed blogging, but with the end of the semester, finals, and the holidays, I've just been very very busy, and photography was not something I had much time for. HOWEVER, all that is over, and I have several shoots to share with you! First things first, I'd like you to meet my sweet friend Kellsie.

Kellsie is a friend that I've met this semester, and she is such a sweetheart. I have truly been blessed with the opportunity to get to know her this semester. A few weeks ago, she asked me if we could go out and shoot on a beautiful fall afternoon, and of course I said absolutely we could! :)

That's all for now, friends, but I have a couple more shoots up my sleeve that will be posted this week!

love, love, love.

a day at the park with friends. [personal.]

man, it's been a while since I've done this.

as a few of my faithful followers may have noticed, I have not blogged in a very long time. there were multiple reasons for this, but the main one was the simple fact that I was just too busy. In the past three months, I have barely picked up my camera. August brought the crazy, crazy business of moving back to my house at school, getting ARTISTS going again for the new year, and [most importantly] starting classes for what may be the busiest semester of my college career, and September and October didn't provide much relief. Midterms are [almost] over, and though I still have a ton of schoolwork + other responsibilities to take care of, I decided it was time to document the small [but significant] pleasures in life.

Yesterday, a few of my friends and I took the afternoon off and headed to a local park, cameras in hand. We took some pictures, but mostly we just enjoyed the opportunity to delight in each other's company.

Lauren, with her awesome film camera.

James, sitting on a bridge.


Stephanie, sitting by the water.


James again, through the camera of his phone.


oh, the many faces of Monika.

I wish I could share more, but my schoolwork beckons. that's all for now, friends!

love, love, love.
