To Kill a Mockingbird

May 8, 2010 at 11:34 am | Posted in School | 2 Comments

This was for a school project I did recently! I set up scenes from the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, and captured them on camera. Here’s Scout, the tomboy little girl, the main character.

Scout and her older brother, Jem, like spending their summer days acting out books, plays, and pretending to be their weird or scary neighbors.

The Radleys live nearby, and Boo Radley never, ever seems to leave his house. So, of course they need to leave him a letter asking him to come out, right?

Maybe Boo isn’t the man Scout and Jem think he was. After watching a neighbors house catch fire, Scout finds a blanket across her shoulders when they come out of their daze. Who could have put that there?!

Thanks to Chichi and Jonathan for doing this crazy idea ;)

david & rhea

Yay!!! It’s finally here: David and Rhea’s engagement shoot! I’m so excited about this couple, and shooting their wedding is going to be amazing. We took a trip down to D.C. to mix the metro into our theme, since commuting is a big part of their lives. They also love spending hours and hours in museums, like this one!

It was blustery and a little chilly out, but we had fun all the same :)

We snuck in front of the Canadian Embassy to get some pictures since David is Canadian…

The Union Station was an incredible place! I really love the building and how everyone has somewhere to go.

We rode the metro and took pictures along the way… I never really thought of the metro station as a photogenic place, but it was stunning (with David and Rhea of course)!

what a weekend!

Tags: devotions, this morning

this morning i read this piece of scripture and found it very encouraging:

“you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, ‘you are my servant,
I have chosen you and not cast you off’;
fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
(Isaiah 41:9-10)
