DIY Photography Journal, Merry Christmas Mom&Pop

I've been waiting to post this for a while now, I had to wait until Christmas passed in order to keep this present a secret from my parents. I got the idea to create them a portfolio of my favorite photos while in Anthropologie doing last minute shopping, giving them something to remember of me while I'm away.
Each page has its own theme and color scheme, telling the story of my exciting adventures...

Above lie the necessary supplies used to create this book.

A Night of Relaxation.

Last night, a group of friends and I went to NoDa, to enjoy hookah and relax a bit. Red, a hookah bar/ pool hall is an eclectic niche to vibe and listen to music. We chose Strawberry and Rick Ross to enjoy for the night and lounged all night. 

Shoppes Uptown

Having a talented, artistic, family has presented me with many opportunities to do what I love. With the help of my sister, Ciara Bird, an alluring graphic designer, we were able to collab on this wonderful project. Today I shot "Blank Canvas" an exclusive shop with various looks for both men and women, for a feature in her upcoming magazine. I was drawn to the lovely prints and textures as well as the vintage feel of the stores layout. I personally hope to open my own store one day, and shooting this shop has been a marvelous experience.
