My own Wedding Part 2

My own Wedding Part 2

I got married in  hot air balloon but I wanted my friends and family to be apart of the wedding day as well. The first way I wanted them to feel included was have Nathan, from Milestone pictures come with us in the balloon and video the whole wedding. Then I wanted to have a [...]


My own wedding

My own wedding

A year ago if I had said, “I’ve got a wedding this weekend” or, “My wedding” it meant that I was shooting for a client. From the moment I got engaged on May 7th and said “my wedding” I literally meant “MY wedding”. Being a wedding photographer for the past 5 years, I’ve seen a lot [...]


To brides from a bride

To brides from a bride

  Fifteen more days till I get to marry my wonderful/goofball/hugable/handsome /totally amazing fiancé. I am loving being engaged, but I’m getting to that point where I’m ready to call my fiancé my husband. I’m writing this because I want so desperately to take a deep breath. My head has been going a million miles an [...]


Announcement

Announcement

Joey and I have an announcement. We got engaged and we are eloping! We wanted to share this video announcement with ya’ll. I knew I wanted to try a stop motion film and Joey came up with the soccer idea. Many of you don’t know, but Joey and I met on a soccer field and [...]


These are “we are dating pictures”

These are “we are dating pictures”

I’ll never forget the first time I met Bekah. It was my first time as a student at the University of  the Nations in Kona, Hawaii. I had been asked to carry a large flag along with other students that were lined up holding flags from different countries. I had no idea what I was [...]


A dream come true

A dream come true

I have a confession. I watch reality T.V. One of my favorite reality shows is America’s Next Top Model. I promise I don’t watch it for all the crazy girl fights, or to watch the contestants struggle through their Cover Girl commercials. I watch it to get inspired. I love watching the photo shoots and [...]


Hawaii

Hawaii

It happened. I woke up and I smelled the coffee. I currently live on a very beautiful island that looks very different than my home of Atlanta, Georgia. I don’t know how or why, but I think I’ve somehow gotten used to my surroundings and I find myself not noticing the beauty. So my goal [...]


Lauren Tercero

Lauren Tercero

Lauren is one of my students here in Kona. From the moment I met her it was like something just clicked (pun intended). She is super easy to talk to and we have become fast friends. Usually, photographers are a little gun shy to get in front of the camera, but Lauren was brave and [...]

A blast from the past

A blast from the past

I have been photographed all my life since before I was even born! (See me above in the womb) My dad is an amazing photographer (www.garyschapman.com) and I feel so privileged to be called his daughter (I’m a big fan in case you can’ttell.) Although I grew up with a camera always in my face [...]


What or who inspires you?

What or who inspires you?

Inspiration… the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something. I’m always interested to find out what inspires people. What is it that special something that you just can’t seem to shut up about? For me it’s soccer. I’ve been playing since I was 7. I started playing because I wanted to be just like my big brother who was a superstar [...]


Payton and Bethany wedding

Payton and Bethany wedding

I’ve known Payton for as long as I can remember. Our moms are best friends and they met when my mom was pregnant with my brother and Payton’s mom was pregnant with his brother. Two years and three months later, my mom had me. I turned out to be so cute, that 9 months later [...]


My Josie post

My Josie post

Friends are kinda funny. They come, they go, they stay way too long. There are so many different kinds of friends. You have facebook friends that you have known before internet was even invented. You also have facebook friends that the only conversation you have is twice a year when you wish each other a [...]

Mitchell

Mitchell

I didn’t find my card reader but I borrowed one from my wonderful friend Isabel. So here is the last portrait. This is my friend Mitchell. He is in my math class. He sits in front of me and shouts out the answers so I call him Smarty Pants. He also helps me coach soccer [...]


Oh no

Oh no

Well turns out moving right before finals was kind of a dumb idea. I can’t seem to find anything. And I feel like I’m going crazy with school work. I need more time in one day. I can’t find my card reader so no picture this week. Also, I just got internet working today so [...]


Jess and Jordan

Jess and Jordan

The sky was blue with white puffy clouds slowly dancing across the sky. It was a perfect day. Two girls were standing at the edge of the woods so ready for an adventure they could hardly stand it. “Ready?” One girl asked the other. A grin was all the response she needed. The two girl [...]


Rod

Rod

I made a new friend today. This is Roderick, better known as Rod. We met initially because he caught an air conditioner plummeting down two stories, but that’s another story for another time. Today we re-met over a car. Rod has a 1989 bmw 325i. I used to own a car like that too, except [...]


Technical Communications

Technical Communications

I love the idea of blogging. I want to be good at it. But I fail miserably at it most of the time. Especially when I’m swamped with school. For all you blog readers who love to stalk me … REJOICE! I’m in a class this quarter called Technical Communications. Technically… we communicate. So, one [...]


Pearl

Pearl

I have a habit of naming everything that means something to me. For example, my precious car is named Alfred (after Batman’s butler). My computer is named Beauty and my monitor is named Beast. I just love naming inanimate objects. It wasn’t long ago that I realized I didn’t have a name for my slide [...]


Canadian wedding

Canadian wedding

Last week I had the honor of flying to Canada to be in my dear friends Martina and Jordan’s wedding. That’s right friends, I was IN a wedding! I was pretty sure I was going to feel naked without cameras around my neck, but I found that it was actually quite fun. On my flight [...]


Triathlon

Triathlon

“Everything’s gonna be all right. Rockabye, rockabye!” Shawn Mullin’s tune blared from my phone. I snapped awake and immediately shut it off. 4:45 a.m.? Why am I getting up again? I thought to myself. Oh, that’s right, today I get to witness my dear friend achieving something truly amazing.” My friend Aura had been training [...]


Attack of the pollen

Attack of the pollen

I lifted my face to the sky, and the sun kissed my eyelids. The breeze, not to be out-flirted by the sun, enveloped me in a sweet hug. It was a beautiful day. The world seemed at peace until I opened my eyes and realized that pollen was attacking the lovely scenery all around me. [...]
