Endure

It has been challenging but rewarding being able to work with many sweet clients and on many personal projects during the same time period recently. I'm thankful for all of you, to be able to spend a short time together reflecting each other's passions and sharing them through portraits. 

Endure is a short series portraying my cousin, Karli, a caring and humble physical therapist, CrossFit coach, and an inspiration. This series is shown as it would in a magazine spread, and quotes from Karli herself and 9:24 CrossFit coach, Pete Doan. 

Thank you all who were a part of this shoot, whether in pre-production, production, or the post-production, everyone who gave feedback and simply supports these big ideas I have.

My Sister the Senior

     Have you ever had a photo assignment that you thought “piece of cake!” when the talk about it came up? And when you least expected it, it became the most challenging shoot to date?

     I never thought I would be the emotional type when it came to my siblings growing up. But several months ago, my ‘little’ sister asked if I could do her senior photos. Lydia and I have gotten closer since I’ve moved away from home for school (which is ironic to me, because we’ve shared a bedroom for almost 18 years). But I think photographing the things and people you are closest to can typically become your toughest challenges. To ‘remove’ yourself from the moment, while being a part of that moment is, in my opinion, is a challenge of every photographer.

     Every day is a learning experience, whether you're a photographer, cashier, unemployed, college student, or a 99 year old grandma. But for Miss West Holmes Senior, Lydia Marie Schonauer, it’s just beginning.
