A Posse is a group of people who thrive in education, leadership and community building. I took portraits of several Posses at Grinnell College and got to know them better. Beautiful people <3

Katie performed the 1st movement of the Elgar cello concerto on March 12th at Bucksbaum Center for the Arts and blew it out of the water!

Desde chica Mónica ha bailado el ballet folklórico del Estado Mexicano de Jalisco. Su madre cosió por mano su vestido bonito. Fuimos al estudio un día frío en invierno y sacamos fotos, y aprendí que tengo mucho que aprender con respeto a tela que está moviendo!
Since Mónica was little she has danced ballet folklórico from the Mexican state of Jalisco. Her mother even made her beautiful dress by hand! We went to the studio on a cold wintery day and took some shots, and I learned I have a lot to learn about taking photos with moving fabric!

Fujifilm 200 shot on a Minolta X-700, August - September 2014
rainy mornings // view from my dorm room
casual saturday morning shot // gorgeous lighting
Portraits: Lamia
It was really, really cold and yet Lamia insisted on wearing flats in the snow to show off her traditional outfit. Dedication. And gorgeousness on so many levels. I'm so luck to photograph these amazing Grinnellians...
Radiant.
Such beautiful stitching.
Gorgeous.
Portraits: Cassie
Cassie is fabulous. During the shoot she braved the cold out on the loggia, re-enacted a Folger's commercial, and made friends with little monsters in the basement. All this while running track, being a full-time student, and generally being a badass.
// And glitter. Glitter = reflection of Cassie's perpetual happiness and her ice-melting smiles.
Portraits: Tela
Tela (another fellow photographer) and I explored a building on campus and found a hidden corridor with beautiful light. Sort of like in Harry Potter, only without the three-headed dragon...
Always impressive when photographers do well on the other side of the camera. Wowsa.
And glitter.
Portraits: Aaron
in portrait
Fellow photographer, adventurer extraordinaire, and snow-lover from California. Here's Aaron, everybody.
Ready for adventure! It was a balmy -15 windchill...perfect day for a hike around campus.
Reveling in the snow.
Braving the Iowa tundra, channelling Bear Grylls.
Miles away from civilization (well, a few yards at least), the adventurer ponders his next move.
Resting after a long days' hike.
