santa barbara weekend

I spent this weekend in Santa Barbara for my cousin's college graduation. We stayed at this amazing house and lounged around. Lovely lovely! I have three weeks left of school. I have decided to yet again drop out of school. Which is really scary and hard for a lot of people to understand. I just haven't felt right for the last three months and I want to make a big change. So I am moving to LA for the summer and I am going to be doing two internships and I am incredibly excited. Hopefully this works out!

who

School has been sucking my soul out. I have been so busy with art history paper on art history paper. 

BUT. 

I have some pretty cool things lined up for the summer that I think will make me feel closer to what I want to do and more like a human being hahah. I am possibly gonna work with wedding photographers and I have an internship with a really cool brand that I will talk more about later and an internship with a film company and I am SO EXCITED. 

So I only have time to take pictures in my dorm room but look at my cute bra and my pretty wall.

Triangle Nails!

I won't lie, I was pretty freakin stoked about the way I did my nails. Now that the photos are so large on my computer, they look a little messy but whatever, its not my job. 

I was also pretty excited they (sort of) matched my new phone case. 

So at some point I will get my life together and actually post regularly again. But COLLEGE IS HERE. STEALING ALL MY TIME AND OVERALL GUSTO FOR LIFE AWAY FROM ME. But soon friends. Soon.

Realizing there is so much in the world and getting overwhelmed.

Portraits + Website Update!

Well hello! I have been all caught up in moving into my dorm and starting school at my new university. However I did want to share some portraits I took last week of the lovely Cassie, whose website you can find here. I have been wanting to take more portraits lately just to capture the beautiful souls that that I know.

Also, I have been going through my collection of photos and finding old portraits to remind myself that I am capable of taking them. I uploaded a lot of them to my website and I am really liking how it looks. You can see it here at jennaopsahl.virb.com!
