Archives 49: Summer Evening with Grandmother | 7/31/14

My grandmother is an incredible role model. She's brilliant, independent, generous, cultured, and classy. She has always told me--through both her words and her example--that I can be whatever I want to be, and that societal expectations and stereotypes are for overcoming, not conforming to.

Glamorous and overexposed :-).

Archives 35: LMN Ballroom Photoshoot | 8/1/13

I know, I know, it's been like six posts since we've gotten to see LMN!

Whoa!

So one of LMN's many talents is ballroom dancing. I got a chance to practice my action shots when LMN invited me to take some photos at her ballroom lesson!

Here are a few of my favorites of LMN dancing with her ballroom teacher!

What a stunner.
