Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
First I have to tell you that Tina and I go way back. All the way back to 2002 (I think that was the year)! I was in school in Peoria, Illinois and she was going to Columbia College in downtown Chicago. We met in San Diego. We both attended a Women in Photojournalism conference. Neither of us remember the circumstance under how we met up that weekend, but we think it may be that we were the youngest girls there! We hit it off from the beginning.
Fast forward to the year 2008, Tina and her boyfriend Jon take a trip to San Diego and get engaged (and fail to call me when they are in town!)
I was fortunate enough to have Tina assist me at Kirsten and Brett’s wedding in Peoria. Two days later we met up at Millennium Park for some engagement photos. Both their and ours!
These two are getting married on 11/11/11 in Hawaii. How exciting!
Tina needed some new headshots for her website!
Here is me and Tina!
And here is one of Tina’s shots of me any my sweetie!
Thanks Tina for taking some photos of us, we had a blast! And also for driving to Peoria for the wedding!
xoxo,
M
