10th st. · portrait session
I recently shot for a local artist (check them out!) at the Emerson, and if I have my camera with me at the Em, you know I'm taking pictures of all my pretty friends, too.
I've recently been inspired by things such as this "Ugly Places, Pretty Portraits" article and this "Ugly Location Challenge," so Diamond and I wandered the alleys around the Emerson and right off 10th St. If you're familiar with the area, it's not the worst, but it's not glamorous and certainly not your top choice for a modeling type session. But clearly, it doesn't have to be.
So here's my "ugly location challenge." ٩(^ᴗ^)۶ Try it out, challenge yourself!

Spent my Halloween exactly they way you'd expect me to spend it - shooting bands. 🎃
Enjoy!♡

between the buried and me · colors ten year anniversary tour pt. 2
After day 1, I was so ready to sort and edit. Got back to the hotel, got it all ready to go, I had everything with me to get a head start.... except my laptop charger. I felt like such an idiot. Thankfully, everyone on the tour that knew I was a dummy about my charger was gracious and willing to offer theirs up for me once we all made it back to the venue. So the boy and I checked out of our hotel the next morning, went on a walk, got coffee, took some really refreshing pictures around Chicago, and headed back to the venue. it was a nice change of pace before round 2 of Colors.
When we got back to the venue, I mainly just sat in The Contortionist's green room, editing what I could before doors opened.
(the biggest thanks to Joey Baca for letting me borrow his charger ◡‿◡ ♡ )
And then, doors opened and it was time to start it all over again! Enjoy this second set of everyone on the tour; knowing how everyone was going to do things and how lighting was going to be after day one, it gave me a little bit more of an ability to have an artistic flair behind the shots. ٩(^ᴗ^)۶
