Glacier National Park – Part I
For the last few years, my group of high school friends and I have picked a national park to visit during the summer. It’s been a way for us all to connect and see each other at least once a year since we’re now flung all over the country (and one living in London most…

Arizona Photo Round Up
The sun had just began to sink down into the sky when the four of us walked up to Mathers Point to see the Grand Canyon. I could see the tips of the red-orange rock as we walked closer, and my excitement grew. Laying my eyes upon the Grand Canyon felt like discovering a long-forgetten…

Chicago Botanic Garden
I’m a sucker for some flowers, and the Chicago Botanic Garden has tons of them. It’s one of my favorite places to go visit in the summer, and the place is big enough so that it’s hard to get bored exploring. It’s $25 (per car) to park and get into the garden, which is not…

Congrats to the Graduates
This spring, I had the opportunity to take senior pictures for a couple of my friends graduating college, and my sister, who is now a high school graduate. I had the best time taking these photos, especially since I love portrait photography. Here are some of my favorites from the past couple of weeks.

Lightroom Editing Tips
I’ve been using Lightroom for around a year and a half now, and I’ve picked up a lot of things that have been really useful for photo editing. I also just downloaded the app on my phone and have been obsessed with playing around with editing photos, which is one of the best things you…
