i'm really really proud of it + i hope you love it! officially here is what i did for my senior project:

I personally loved my senior project because it’s what I’m passionate about and what I truly love to do. I loved calling the floral designers, the cake maker, the models, the horse, the photographer and the makeup/hair woman and got all of them together for my project. While it was difficult getting everyone on the same page, I found it to be very fulfilling when I got it all to work out for my shoots. Knowing that this is what I am presenting for my senior project, I am proud of myself. I’ve worked hard to get my knowledge of filming, my equipment and my resources together for something that will really matter to me. I learned that I loved working with a photographer directly for the shoots. In most shoots, the client will pick a photographer and a videographer separately and most of the time, I’ve never met the photographer. It was wonderful being able to pick a photographer I loved and trusted. I also loved being able to plan out each shoot to get exactly what I want. I absolutely loved it. The brain processes visual data 600,000 times faster than text. When a video is information-intensive, consumers will watch the video two or more times. They say pictures say a thousand words so then what could a video say? Video say more than a thousand words, they show those thousand more and then a thousand more and would you agree that action is better than words? I do. That's why video is revelation art for me with events memories and moments. Pictures are hung on a wall if lucky but videos are captured moments that can be shared easily over and over. Inspire me video does that. I'm changing video to fit your needs. 

but that wasn't even the best part of it.

that was an insane week.

i threw a baby shower,

gave a talk in church,

moved,

+ was getting together my senior project.

wednesday, jay was acting really weird telling me that he had to go somewhere at 8 at night to pick up something for graduation.

any other week i would've been alllll over him + what he was up to, 

but i was way too tired + stressed to ask.

i was in our old apartment editing when he came back.

he says, i want to show you your surprise, come on!

i walk out of the room...+ there IS MY MOM

i cried. yep, i cried. they got me SO SO good.

ahhh i cannot tell you the amazing feelings that i got just seeing my mom there.

it felt like everything stressful had left + it felt like it was time to party.

jay + mom had been planning it for weeks behind my back 

+ i couldn't believe that they got me SO good.

i loved it.

we stayed up catching, took walks + ate healthy food

+ best of all she was there for my senior showcase presentation!

which was awesome.

it went great. i decided to go all out on decorating my booth because 

i'm a senior + i wanted it to look bomb.

i stood at that table for 2.5 hours + talked to people nearly the entire time.

i loved it.

it's amazing how i've found something that i absolutely love to do.

well, if you got to here, thanks for reading about my senior project.

it feels good to end on a high point like this.

ps. i love the heck out of you mom. even though you were only here for 48 hours,

it was amazing. thanks for supporting me! LOVE YOU
