Staff Bonding with Career Services!!

2011-08-31T21:12:00.001-07:00

During our training week we had a staff bonding day at Cashmere Bites in LA! We were split into two teams and given two different dishes to prepare. We had a great time and learned a lot about each other. Here are some images from the day:

Katelyn's Bridal Shower!

2011-07-13T20:15:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I had the great pleasure of co-hosting a bridal shower for my best friend, Katelyn Daniels (Soon-to-be Mize)! We planned a tea party, but it was so hot we didn't get to drink much tea, but we still had a good time. Here are some of the highlights!

This is Miss Katelyn:

After Katelyn opened her presents we had Jenn read back the reactions she had to her gifts. These reactions are how she will respond on her wedding night....obviously, it was funny!

Earlier this month my parents were part of a home tour in their community. Here are a few photos of how they decorated the house this year. All the centerpieces are fresh flower arrangements that my dad designed with a local florist.

In case you didn't know...Lindsay is pretty awesome and insanely gorgeous! Lindsay is a performing arts major at SCAD with a minor in dance, which makes her a great subject. Enjoy.

Around Savannah/ 2-year Anniversary!!

2010-07-04T07:47:00.001-07:00

July 3rd was mine and Danny's 2 year Anniversary!! We celebrated by walking around Savannah and eating at Paula Deen's restaurant, Lady & Sons.

Yup, that is one of Paula Deen's sons.
So cute!

City Market
I love the trees.
This is what the streets look like, everywhere!
Cutest candy store ever!!
Gotta photograph the Coke products for Dad!

MMmmmMM!!!

Tie-Dye!!

2010-07-04T07:38:00.000-07:00

One of our RSAs, Emma, hosted a Tie-Dye event that was a hit! Here are a few highlights:

RSA Jeff with the orange dye:
Students waiting to Tie-Dye. Such a good turn-out!!

Emma showing students how to rubber band the shirts:

Socks!

We ran out of rubber bands because we had soooo many people participate so we had to improvise with plastic bags!

Lauren was very meticulous about her dying:

Training Week!

2010-06-27T19:23:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the late post!

Two weeks ago, we had training with the student staff, which was awesome. Bonnie and I made door decorations for them. They were bees, so cute! I don't have pics right now, but I will take some soon. We did a lot of ice breakers. A lot. I'm not really into ice breakers, but what we did wasn't so bad. Now I have some great ideas for ice breakers!

Our Rising Star Assistants (RSAs) are so amazing! They came up with a great theme for the Rising Star students...SCADventure! Each week represents a different type of adventure theme! Our first week was Survival Week. We did a SCADvenger Hunt, had a craft night, Jeff showed us how to make laundry detergent, they played Zombie Tag (a smaller version of Humans vs. Zombies), and Murder in the Dark. It was a great week!

Here are a few shots I got from Murder in the Dark. It was dark, which means my photos are black and white and grainy. I call it artistic.

We also had our first beach day, which was awesome! I love the beach here! The water is so warm! Here are a few shots I got:

Other events for the week:

I was able to sit in on a few interviews the department was conducting, which was an amazing experience. Some advice when you are doing a phone interview: know the student population and have examples of experiences, not generalizations.

I got to take a student to the clinic who was having a minor allergic reaction to something. She's fine now, but it was an experience I have never had before. Lots of learning happening!

The rain. Holy cow. It poured tonight. If you saw my facebook, you have some idea of what happened. Basically, we went to dinner and it started to rain. We tried to wait it out, but it just got worse. There was LOUD thunder, crazy lightning, and a rediculous amount of rain. All Bonnie and I could do was run for it. Well, I don't run. I also don't walk barefoot outside, which would have made my whole experience much better. We had to make our way up 55 stairs (Bonnie counted) and across a bridge to get back to the residence hall. Oh yea, practically everything was flooded. As I was making my way up the stairs, slowly (as it is I am a slow stair walker, but add gallons of water to that and it's bad news), water started to get in my eyes. So now I can't see and I'm trying not to fall down the stairs. Good times. I made my way across the bridge and safely back to my room, which had a mini lake in front of my door that worked it's way to the inside of my room. Good times. I was drenched, but I have to admit, it was kind of fun. It wasn't cold, which made getting wet much more pleasant.

That's about all for the past few weeks! Danny comes this week (2 Year Anniversary!!!), so it might be another week and a half before I write again.

I hope everyone has a great fourth of July this weekend!!

Scavenger Hunt!

2010-06-13T07:59:00.000-07:00

Day two, we were prepared. We knew we were going on a scavenger hunt around Savannah so we wore sensible shoes and more comfortable, breathable, professional attire.

We did a photo scavenger hunt and we had riddles for each place. Luckily, we had a map of the route we needed to take. Here is what we found:

1. These books can really hold up a ceiling.
The SCAD Bookstore, Ex Libris, was our first stop. They have these amazing columns that are from floor to ceiling stacked books:

2. They can make you a meal that you can't refuse.
We weren't sure about this one at first, but we thought it was Corleone's because of The Godfather:

3. If you need a new "grill," go here. They're fast.
We got this one wrong. We thought it was The Rail, a sports bar, but it was a jeweler that makes grills for your mouth same-day. We never saw the jeweler because we were on the opposite side of the road.

4. This place makes pizza into an art.
Obviously, Vinnie Van Go Go's pizza:

5. Marilyn just cannot keep that dress down.
We found Marilyn outside a restaurant and we took pictures with her:

6. This mother is known for her use of butter.
Duh, Paula Deen's restaurant! We still have not eaten here, but I know we will!

7. A little bit of Paris in Savannah.
The Paris Market:

8. This emporium specializes in small cakes made in cups.
We actually had cupcakes here, they were amazing!! It is a supper cute place to hang out and read a book as well:

9. Just past the bank is where think mints grew up.
The girl scout building! We actually couldn't find the building on this trip, but we passed the main headquarters on our first day during our trek to get ID Cards. In lieu of photographing the building, we photographed actual girl scouts! They are everywhere!

10. This square had a running man sitting on a bench, but now it just has flowers.
This is where the Forrest Gump bench used to sit. Unfortunately, it kept getting stolen, so they had to remove it.

The first day!

2010-06-13T07:31:00.000-07:00

Day one was interesting...

SCAD is housed in over 70 buildings all over Savannah. On Monday morning we had to go to HR, which is in a building that is about a 20-30 minute walk, or more, from our living areas. We decided to drive. As we are filling out paperwork, the admin comes in and tells Bonnie that her car is being towed. Apparently we parked in a parking lot for a different building, but that happened to be right across from HR. Good times. So, Bonnie runs outside to try and catch them before they get her car on the truck. Unfortunately, they already had it loaded. Bonnie would have had to give the woman loading her car $80 cash to take it down. Thinking that was a sketchy situation, Bonnie opted to let her take it. Plus, who carries about $80 cash?? So, in order to get to our next destination, ID Cards, we had to walk. Mind you, it's our first day, we are all dressed in slacks and nice shirts, our hair is down, we look nice. Well, a 3o minute walk in the humidity will make you look less nice.

We got our ID Cards and had to walk about another 1o minutes back to O-House, where the Res Life Offices are. I realize that a 20 minute walk and a 10 minute walk seem like nothing, and i would agree. However, when is it like 85 degree outside with 90% humidity, it's a bloody long walk!

I just realized that I never introduced you to my fellow interns! Here is a picture of them:

On the left we have Kara, in the middle is Bonnie, and to the right is Kelli.

Kara and Kelli and overseeing the Summer Seminars program. These are week-long programs for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

Bonnie and I are overseeing the Rising Star summer program. This is a 5-week program in which incoming high school seniors take college-level courses.

After lunch, we went to admissions for a mini-presentation about the programs we are coordinating. The admissions building was so amazing! I took some pictures :)

The mascot of SCAD is a bee:

That pretty much concluded our first day!

In case you were wondering, Bonnie got her car back later that day.

My Digs

2010-06-13T07:15:00.000-07:00

I am a little behind on posting, so you will get about 3 new posts in the next hour or so!

The following are photos of my room, a very typical residence hall room. I live in Turner House, which was built in 2005 and is one of the newest residence halls at SCAD. I get my own room with an attached bathroom, none of the housing at SCAD has communal bathrooms, which is nice. Since these rooms are triples, I have three beds, 3 dressers, and 3 drafting tables. Two of the beds are bunked to save space. They also gave me a mini fridge and microwave, which is pretty nice. Once the students arrive, I will be able to eat in the dinning halls and not rely on microwavable mac and cheese to get me through the day!

Getting to Savannah!

2010-06-06T08:54:00.000-07:00

It's been a crazy couple of days!!

I'm currently sitting in an air conditioned Starbucks in downtown Savannah and it's amazing! I love this city! I feel like I am in a completely different world from Southern California.

I left California at 11am Friday morning flying on Delta, an airline I have never flown with before. Before I boarded the plan I took my Dramamine and was prepared to sleep the whole way! Well, that didn't happen. What was cool about the Delta flight was that each seat had a TV! Even better than that, they had HGTV. In case you didn't know, I've been obsessed with HGTV for like 3 weeks. So, I didn't sleep. Instead, I watched HGTV the entire way to Atlanta. The other reason I couldn't sleep was the child sitting behind me who insisted on kicking and/or hitting the back of me seat the entire way (Thank you to his Mom who did absolutely nothing about it. Great parenting). Other fail factors included the awful turbulence and the child in front of me who kept throwing her bottle at me. Awesome.

As we were approaching Atlanta, our Captain announced that we were going to have to circle for a few minutes because of the weather. I was okay with this because my connecting flight to Savannah was about an hour after we were to land in Atlanta. A few minutes late wasn't going to kill me. Well after about 10 minutes the Captain announced that we didn't have enough fuel to circle any longer and we were going to go to Alabama to refuel. Awesome. We were in Alabama for about 45 minutes, long enough for me to miss my flight to Savannah.

When we got to Atlanta, I checked the departing flights and as it turned out, my flight to Savannah had been canceled, so it didn't matter that I had missed it. At this point, I was in terminal E. The next flight to Savannah was at 9:35pm, leaving out of terminal D. So I hopped on the tram thing and went to terminal D. When I finally got to the counter, the woman who helped me said she could put me on stand-by for the flight, but there were already like 50 people on stand-by for this flight. I told her to put me on stand-by for the 10:45pm flight to Savannah instead. Well, that flight was leaving from terminal B. So, back to the tram I went and went to terminal B. I went to the gate for the 10:45pm flight and waited. They flashed the list of stand-by passengers and their ranking...I was number 43. Awesome. Knowing I was not going to make this flight, I proceeded to the Delta help desk. I stood in that line for about 45 minutes. When I got to the counter I knew I was going to have to get on a flight in the morning. I told the Delta agent to put me on any flight that was a guaranteed seat. I did not want to be on stand-by. He put me on the 8:25am flight and I had a seat!

I was offered a voucher to pay only $50 for a hotel room, but I didn't think it was worth it. By the time I would have left the airport and got to the hotel, I would have had to turn around and come back. So, I stayed the night in the Atlanta Airport. It really wasn't so bad. I read a book on my Nook, listen to music, and worked on my Capstone! I was pretty productive.

When I got on my flight the next morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find out the Delta agent had given me a First Class seat! Mind you, it was only a 45 min. flight, but it was an awesome 45 minutes. When I arrived in Savannah, which is a gorgeous airport, I was a little worried about my luggage. Since my original flight was canceled, I wasn't sure where my luggage was. Thankfully, it was sitting in a holding room at the Delta office.

So, I know this sounds like an awful experience, but it really wasn't that bad. There wasn't anything I could do. I had to make the best of the situation, and I did. The most important thing is that I made it here! I don't have any pictures to share yet, but I am hoping to take a few today.

Summer @ SCAD!!!

2010-05-29T09:49:00.000-07:00

So, I've been really bad about updating my blog... I'm a Masters student, I don't have a lot of time! This summer, I am hoping to update my blog with photos and ramblings about my adventures at Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in Savannah, GA. All I know right now is I will be working with the Rising Star Summer Program at SCAD. I know it involves high school students, but other than that, I'm not sure what I am going to be doing.

As of right now, I have about a week before I leave. I will be taking off on June 4th. For the next week I will be spending time with my parents and "relaxing" as much as I can.

Plans for today: Lay in the sun and read a book on my Nook.

New Life

2009-08-20T10:07:00.000-07:00

For the next 2 years I will be attending Azusa Pacific University to get my Master of Science in College Counseling and Student Development. As a part of this program I will be working in the Office of the Provost at APU for Dr. Michael Whyte.

I hope to continue doing some photography while I am in school, but I will also be using this blog to give updates on my personal/school life. I encourage you to add my blog to your RSS feed or bookmark it to continue getting updates from me. I feel this is much easier then trying to contact everyone individually.

Also, if you are interested in more of my photography you can visit my new website: JKR Photography.

While I was in Colorado I did some head shots for Jon Stoddard for his new business: KTG Denver.

Colorado Trip 3...I think

2009-08-20T08:32:00.000-07:00

I went to Colorado a lot this past year... a lot! My last trip there, which was in April, I stayed for a month. Katelyn and I did a lot during this time including hanging out with Lisa, her husband John, and her cousin Rachel. I had my first Geo Cashing experience in Downtown Denver, which was so fun!

Katelyn and I also went to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver. It was interesting. I've never been a huge fan of contemporary art, but there were some neat collections:

We also went to the Natural History Museum!

Mandy

2009-04-18T13:38:00.000-07:00

A few months ago I had the privilege of giving my good friend Mandy a few tips with her photography. What better way to learn then to be the guinea pig! BTW, she is freakin' gorgeous!! Here are a few images of her, check out the eyes!

The Willey Family

2009-04-12T08:56:00.000-07:00

Justin with a Bald Head!

2009-03-18T15:57:00.001-07:00

Justin is a Dance Major at UCI. Last week he was part of a production called "The Book of Tink." While I didn't get to see the performance, I heard it was very interesting. One of the things Justin had to do was shave his head. These photos are a tribute to the bald head he has had the past few weeks! Enjoy!

Pink & Black Style!!

2009-03-09T22:37:00.000-07:00

For those of you who don't know, I am obsessed with the colors pink and black. They are the colors for my new website and they are colors I often wear. I LOVE THEM!! Anyway, I used Polyvore to create this new style set. This is my ideal kind of style!

Jon & Alicia

2008-12-27T15:16:00.001-08:00

About 2 or 3 years ago I was photographing the Hansel family and Alicia told me, "Kate, whenever I get married you are going to be my photographer." My response to Alicia was, "Alicia, I'm not a wedding photographer, I don't know about that, let's wait until you are actually going to get married before we make that decision." About a year ago I got from Alicia telling me that she was getting married and that I was the photographer. There wasn't really a question involved, but more of a statement. Since our conversation three years ago I had done a few wedding and felt better about taking hers on. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day. Enjoy.

Gus & Brina's Wedding

2008-10-14T17:18:00.001-07:00

This past weekend was crazy! but in a fun way :) My old boss in San Diego asked me to photograph her wedding. While I don't like to do weddings, I agreed. The day was really great and I got some fantastic images. I'm always so nervous before weddings and big events, but I always end up getting some great images. Here are some of my favorites...

Lauren's Senior Pics!

2008-08-21T16:03:00.001-07:00

Justin

2008-08-15T11:33:00.000-07:00

So, I love Justin. I have used him many times in my photography because he understands the vision I have. Last night we did some experimental stuff on the UCI Campus. I got some amazing images! I will post a few today, but there will be even more coming!

Jordan

2008-08-15T11:15:00.000-07:00

You may remember a blog from last year when I photographed Lauren. Last week I had the pleasure to photograph her cousin, Jordan. She is an aspiring actress and needed some head shots done for an audition.

The Hansels.

2008-06-05T09:33:00.000-07:00

The day after the wedding I photographed the Hansel family. They may look familiar because I love to photograph them and they love to have me photograph them. Here are some of my favorites from their session this weekend.

Graduations...

2007-06-18T13:26:00.000-07:00

The past few weekends have been filled with graduations and promotions. As the "resident photographer" I was there to capture these special moments for a family that is very special to me. Here are some images from Justin and Jen's graduations... I will have images up of Ryan and Cody's grauation in a few days.

Lauren

2007-05-09T17:20:00.000-07:00

Lauren was kind enough to let me use her as a test subject. We went down to San Clemente and got some amazing images! Thanks Lauren!

Older Stuff

2007-05-05T18:04:00.000-07:00

I was looking through some older images today and came across these ballet photos I did a few years ago...

I wanted to try a different technique, so here it is. Let me know what you think :)

Chad

2007-02-20T17:57:00.000-08:00

This past weekend I got to photograph Chad, Scott's younger brother, while I was in Fresno. It was his first time being photographed and I think he did pretty well!

Art Wanted

2007-02-15T10:20:00.000-08:00

On Sunday February 11th, 2007 one of my images was chosen as the featured image of the day at ArtWanted.com, an artist website I belong to. This is a very defining moment for me because it is the first time that my images have been chosen for anything. Here is what the website looked like the day it was up. You can see the image in the upper right-hand corner...

"Boss Lady"

2007-01-23T15:57:00.000-08:00

I got to photograph my boss today. These are some of the shots that I really liked. I've learned that I love to do portraits. While I love work outdoors, I'm starting to pick up the advantages of working in a studio setting. Enjoy!

The Money Shot

2007-01-17T23:00:00.000-08:00

Here are some more images I was working on tonight...

This one is what we call "The Money Shot." This was the shot that I wanted from the beginning.

Sneak Peek

Palmer Collage

2006-09-28T20:24:00.002-07:00

I finally had some time to sit down and work on a collage for the Palmers. I wanted something that was more modern for them. I think I may fool around with a sepia tone. They are a "sepia tone couple." Anyway, let me know what you think. I love feedback. I am going to Orange County this weekend, so I will be using the new camera a lot and hopefully get some good shots.

.:Behind the Scenes:.

2006-09-17T16:25:00.000-07:00

While I know many of you believe that I am a good photographer, there is a process to what I do. I have decided to show you some of my before and afters. Some were more challenging then others, but the end result was still good. I don't normally do this, but I thought you guys should see what I look at in the photo when I am taking it. Enjoy.

So, work is really slow right now. I found some pictures I took of Angel on my work computer, so I thought I would share them. These were taken with Deanna's Canon, 35mm film. I don't usually use her camera, but I thought I would try it out. These were taken last summer around this time, I think.

this is me.

Ok, one more post before I go to bed. This is something I have been wanting to do for years and I was finally able to sit my parents down to do it!

Tiffany!

Hey guys! I know it has been awhile since I have posted, but I have been crazy busy! I just posted Becky and Josh's photos from the past few weeks. In this blog I am posting a photo of my best friend Tiffany. We decided to experiment with some dramatic makeup a few weeks ago and we got a few nice shots! She is amazingly photogenic.

The Wedding...

2006-09-14T18:13:00.000-07:00

For those of you who don't know, I don't shoot weddings. It's not that I don't love weddings or wedding photography, but I do not have the equipment to do it right. When Becky approached me about shooting her wedding, I did not want to do it, but she had faith in me. She had seen the photos of Tommy and Jessica's wedding that I took "as a guest" and loved them. I agreed and actually got some pretty good shots, but it will be a long while before I shoot another wedding!

PS: They were a great couple because they had complete faith in me and trusted my artistic eye. Thanks Guys!

Becky & Josh

After I did Jessica and Tommy's Engagement photos, Becky approached me about doing her's and Josh's. I, of course, was very happy to do this for them. They were a really fun couple, here is some of what we got...

I'm good...

So, I just retouched this photo and I'm really pround of myself!

Dance

2006-08-27T14:55:00.000-07:00

One of my passions in life is dance. Since I was little I have been fascinated by it. So, since I don't dance anymore I photograph dancers. Thankfully, I have many willing dancers that let me photograph them from time to time. This photo shoot was about a week ago and it was my first attempt at backdrops and lighting. I think I did pretty good. Here are some of my favorite photos from that day.

Cody

A few weeks ago I did a photo shoot with Cody for headshots, modeling and just plain fun. He was nice enough to let experiment with some stuff. These are just few of the photos I took for him. He was one of the best people to photograph because he was willing to do just about anything, he took direction well, but had a lot of really cool ideas. All in all I think he was happy with the result.

Jessica & Tommy

A few months back I was in a wedding for my friend Jessica. Even though I was in the wedding I had to take pictures! Here are some of them:
