A New Beginning: Hawthorne Lifestyle Photography

This may sound weird, but when I heard how empty the walls of 9-3 had become over the last week of school, I didn’t think I could go back. Overall that may not sound weird, but when you consider I was never a student in 9-3, I didn’t find myself having lunch there every afternoon,...

Graduation: Hawthorne Lifestyle Photographer

I’m not going to say very much in this post, because it’s possible I’ll get emotional again ;] Last week the AVID Seniors graduated. :’] I’m so proud of them. I love the status updates I keep seeing about shopping for their dorm rooms. I love that there’s such exciting things ahead for each of...

The Last Class: Hawthorne Lifestyle Photographer

*deep breath* In March 2009 I first walked through the doors of 9-3. I stayed in the background didn’t really talk to anyone and took some really terrible pictures because I hardly knew anything about photography [I don't even think I was shooting in Manual yet :O]. After that I came to random school events...

I had the pleasure of having mr anderson this year and although I was quiet and hardly ever spoke, the room and anderson mean a lot to me. I know its hard for me to make connections with people and let my guard down, but here it goes, I am truely going to miss this room and the memories had in it! Andersons class will always be my favorite experience from high school. These photos make me cry as I realize I may have had few friends and not talked to many people, but we are all linked we have known and seen each other for years and whether we want to believe it or not, we all care about each other and are all linked together because we are and will always be one dysfunctional group, the Hawthorne high School class of 2011!

That WAS emotional. Thank you so much for sharing all this with us!

Every Day in June: Hawthorne Lifestyle Photographer

This morning, at way too early in the morning, I am about to leave to go to 9-3 to chaperone a field trip to all the San Diego colleges with the AVID Juniors. Last week when I visited 9-3 someone made a comment about how they hadn’t seen me in so long. I replied, wait...

This is SO awesome.. so full of life. It’s amazing how you’re a part of these kids’ lives. Not to mention the amazing photos – but they are almost secondary to the story and relationships you see through them.

AVID Ohana: Manhattan Beach Lifestyle Photographer

Last summer Steven, aka Mr. Anderson, and I planned the first off campus photoshoot for his AVID kids. It was so fun we decided to plan another one, but on a larger scale. Instead of inviting just the AVID classes of 2011 and 2012 we would also invite his first AVID class, the class of...
