Bruce Weber

My grandma just recently had an operation on her shoulder, so she's stuck sitting inside and watches a lot of TV. I keep her updated on my school assignments, and knowing that I needed to find artists and photographers, she passed along this photographer to me after seeing him on Good Morning America. 

Bruce Weber is mainly a fashion photographer, but upon perusing his website, he takes some gorgeous portraits. He takes mainly black and white photos, but occasionally takes some color or toned shots.

I bought my Canon 60D in the middle of summer, and I absolutely fell in love with it! I took pictures of everything; my dogs, my house, outside, my family and friends; you name it I shot it. I just wanted to take a minute to share some of my favorite shots from the summer before we get started with class projects and assignments.

My grandma is a huge decorator, and nothing ever stays the same for long in my house, so I really like to take pictures of all the different things she comes up with. This was her "summer dining table design."


This is my baby. You'll most likely see many more pictures of my little Mr. Finnegan. I love just about everything about him, from his feisty attitude to his floppy little ears.


This is my grandma, and I just really liked how candid the shot was.


I like cats just as much as I love dogs, but since I can't have cats at my house (allergic grandfather) I love going to my friend Kayla's house and spending time with her and her fur babies. This is Rue, and she just posed like this, and I could tell she was begging for me to take a picture.  



This is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world, my niece Avery. She played T Ball this summer for the first time and I was super excited to go watch her play.


My friend and fellow photographer, Sabrina. She's a wonderful artist and a huge rollerblading enthusiast. She also love having her picture taken, so here's the proof. Lol.


One of the many gorgeous sunsets that I see from my backyard. I love hanging out on the deck or around the firepit on summer evenings.
