Sedona is commonly known for our beautiful Red Rocks. The trails they have are wonderful for visitors to see and experience the wonders of Sedona. Go for a hike on a nice day, and relax and admire the views of the Red Rocks!

My photography teacher, Mrs. Mcleod was teaching us different light sources and the importance of "quality of light" (e.g., hard or soft light, fall-off, and color temperature and how their colors affect the photos. I have never shot anything using backlighting so it was something I wanted to challenge myself with. I knew I wanted my light source to be the sun. Although, I knew chosing an object that was big enough for my light source was going to be difficult. I wasn't sure what prompt I wanted to use. Until, I had came across a piece of cactus lying on the ground. I held it up to the sun while I took several pictures. At the end of the session I had cactus pricks all of my fingers. Lol. It was definitely worth it though. I loved the result of my photo and the way it gave off that summer feeling.

At Sedona Red Rock High School, a broken tree branch caught my attention. I loved that there was an opening in the middle of the branch that could show the wispy pieces of wood peeling up. This photo was unplanned, regardless I am still happy with the results. Its been a highlight in my photo albums on Lightroom.

I took this picture in my photo class at school, right at the beginning of spring, when the native flowers started blooming. I saw the vibrant orange globemallow in one of the open areas around the cafeteria, and had to take a picture of it.

I took this photograph of my friend Sofia in February, at Posse Grounds Park. It was a very cloudy and cold day, but the sky and the atmosphere were perfect for taking a moody dancing shot. We ended up trying multiple poses and locations, but this photo ended up being my favorite because of the dynamic lines and the pose we chose.
