The Great Wall!

I decided to skip Wednesday for now and share my Thursday! It was an insanely amazing and crazy day! Nothing could have prepared me for the Great Wall. Okay, well maybe if I googled it and spent some time researching the different walls but still, it was nothing I could have imagined. It was so...

Beijing :: The City, A Temple and Village

I’ve gotten a little behind on blogging due to the whole China doesn’t like WordPress thing but I’m determined to catch up!

Sean and Kerry :: Baby on the Way!

I was so excited to meet with Sean and Kerry yesterday morning! Even though I’m not a morning person I had a feeling it would be a great shoot. I love shooting at Griffith Park, especially in the spring after all the rain! It was so green and we had such pretty morning light. It...

Random Shoot on a Hill

Yesterday I was driving home and found a really pretty hill with lots of yellow flowers. It happened to be down the street from my friend Heather’s house, so I called her. I asked her if I could shoot her on a hill and tilt shift her. Luckily, she knew what I was talking about...

Random Richelle Fact #1

I like to play and dance in the rain! This was in the Dominican Republic with my friend Krystyn. It was pouring, which I guess is rare in Santo Domingo. Krystyn wanted to go play in the rain. At first, I thought she was crazy but then I realized I hadn’t washed my hair in...
