So its pretty common now for me to fall off the map in terms of my blog around the time of finals at SCAD. But I've been out of school for 3 weeks now, and I'm blessed to say I've been busy VERY busy. Not many paid gigs, but lots of photo shoots in terms of building my portfolios as the awesome photographer I try to be.
Since the last day of FALL Quarter at SCAD the following has occurred:
I got 2 A's and 1 B :) - The B was in Intro to Printmaking but it was very shy of an A so I'm not hating too much lol.
I've done 2 natural hair shoots to continue my little documentary. I'm also still working on reading this awesome book titled "Thank God I'm Natural!" By Chris-Tia E. Donaldson. A must read for naturals, and aspiring naturals. Really something everyone of color should read.
I traveled from Savannah to Gainesville, FL to surprise my boyfriend one day early at University of FL. I was in town to support him and witness and photograph his remarkable accomplishment of pledging the beautiful BROWN & GOLD of Iota Phi Theta. I had an insane weekend with him there and celebrating the long process he went through. I'm so proud of him and can't wait to share the pictures with you all VERY soon :)
From Gainesville, FL I traveled with my Iota Man down south to our lovely home of Palm Beach County where I had an extra pleasant Thanksgiving with my family. This was also the first Thanksgiving Perry was able to spend with my family so that was quite special in my eyes!
The following business day after Thanksgiving Perry and I returned to Gainesville and I soon after returned to my beautiful Savannah apartment. Now that I live off campus I'm able to enjoy Savannah during these holiday months and I'm loving it. Since returning I've done 2 portraits sessions, staying busy with my amazing employer Shannon Christopher and his weddings I assist on, and I've been trying to get into the Greek Life of Armstrong State University and Savannah State University. I loved Perry's Probate at Gainesville I've decided to take the challenge of photographing more probates for sororities and fraternities. There are not many professional images out there for this particular genre in terms of the their probates so I'm hoping to fill this niche ;) So I've been shooting for the Sigma Grad Chapter, Zeta Phi Beta, and tomorrow I'm shooting a community event put on by the Omegas and Deltas. I'm hoping people will find my images and love them so much they'll want to hire me to cover their probates and other events put on by their organizations. There is something about Greek life that has sparked an interest thanks to Perry's recent crossing and I've been reading books, articles, and learning more so that I can reflect my new found knowledge in my photography to make them even better.
Well I better stop now since this is suppose to be a catch up moment of my Winter Break So far lol.
Thank you for reading, for supporting my photography, and just being interested and curious enough to click your way to my little blog.
I appreciate ya,
whoever you are.
Much Love,
Stephanie B!
