So I haven't put up a blog post in a while so I thought I'd do one on the last few weeks of summer and the start of my Senior year as a photojournalism student at Ohio University.

I've been focusing on landscapes and nature shots recently, not really sure why, but here's a few of my favorites:

I also spent a few days visiting my family in Sarasota, Florida, over Labor Day. Although the time was short, I had the wonderful experience of meeting my newest two nieces and nephew that my sister is currently fostering, and the opportunity to spend time with my two brothers, cousin, and my wonderful 94 year old grandmother.

And then finally for my dear friend Maddie who has always wanted to be famous: An image from a portrait series involving the bottom-half of a mannequin and my lovely Outlook Media  interns this past summer.
