I spent last week in Austin, TX and had the chance to do some photography. I grew up in Austin and love the culture there, so I was really excited to wander around downtown and find interesting background for this shoot. Ryan is a composer and needed photos for his website. He made some awesome faces! I was thinking about those "how are you feeling today" posters that had a different face for each emotion when I made this collage:

Singer/Songwriter Katherine Gee

Katherine is a dear friend of mine and has always been a performer. We did a couple musicals together in middle school, then created and ran a children's musical theater camp a couple years ago. She's now getting started in her journey of sharing her voice with the world. So I did a photoshoot for her (and labeled myself as her official photographer :D)




Halfway through our shoot, after we entered a stranger's yard and took pictures in front of their house, Katherine suddenly says "I know why you like photography, Whitney! It's because you now have an excuse to be mischievous and sneak around." So there you have it: my true motivation to be a photographer. It has nothing to do with the people or the art or the creativity. It's just an excuse to break the rules. I've always been the rebellious type.



The first song is called Sunshine and Rain. It'll be released on itunes in about a month. Look her up!
