My name is Shelley. I'm 26 and currently live in Misawa, Japan. I am a photographer and so these are my photos. Please feel free to message me any time. This blog may contain mature content, no nudes but I do swear sometimes. Thanks!

Last day. Man, what a year. Got married, lived in Japan for 6 months and now we're moving to California for our next big life adventure. Cheers to the next 365 (even though I don't plan on taking a photo every day of it).

I also took our own anniversary photos, so yes, that is me and my hubby. Got to get on the other side of the camera every now and then ;)

Tomorrow is my last day of the 365! I'm so excited lol. This was a challenge but with another move happening I'm just no looking forward to needing to post every day. I'll continue to share my work and post photos but they will just be less frequent.

I held a contest on my photography page and this was the prize! A free photo shoot with yours truly. I'm super happy with how beautiful this session was!

Worked with a fellow photographer today, teaching her about studio lighting, newborn posing and how to get past obstacles. Pretty fun stuff!

You get a cat today! I've been consistently editing boudoir photos and updating my website. Superficially it hasn't changed but I've done so great work behind the scenes :)

We played with black light butterflies and light paintings today in photography class. It was once said about the arts: for those who can; do. For those that can't; teach. I for one can do and teach and I love that.

I literally spend all day in my computer chair minus meals and natural occurrences. I am finally getting serious about updating my website. I neeeeed something with updated work on it to actually show how better my work has gotten. So far the background and header image were all I've managed to do today. Third time's a charm right?

Had a fun little rain storm today. Wanted to get lightening but that isn't very common here in Northern Japan.

Found this pretty feather the other day. Finally got around to photographing it.

I'm pretty sure fiber optics are the coolest things to photograph.

Today was a pretty full day but I still got out to capture this little mushroom.

We photographed apples today in my class. It works a lot better than the previous setup I had. The simpler, the better. Apparently.

I swear that this will be my last cat photo...I had a boudoir session today which turned out wonderfully. This occurred beforehand while I was playing with my studio lighting...
