Now I’m a WKU alumni….crazy, right?
Sunday I took a little walk to receive my diploma. It was tons of fun and I am REALLLYYYY going to miss my photojournalism family. We have all grown sooo close through many hours in the lab, late nights editing and workshop bonding time. I walk away from Western knowing that it was the most perfect fit for me. School grew my business skills, my photo love and introduced me to so many amazing people and for that I am most thankful. I met so many of my amazing clients at school and made jillions of friends in all the departments I was active in.
Lots of my clients ask about my experience at WKU, and I always say, ‘it’s the most awesome place on Earth – better than Disney World.’ They usually laugh, and I continue with ‘no really – I swear, it’s the most amazing school EVER….have you visited yet?’ I am absolutely in love with my Western, from the butt-shaping walks uphill (both ways, I swear) to the constant rain Bowling Green seems to face. I’m obsessed with the bunny statues at the top of the hill and our infamous ‘blood clot’ of a mascot.
It is with a tear or two (hundred) that I am packing my boxes and hugging my friends good-bye, because I really am going to miss the most beautiful campus in the world. My college experience was truly blessed and wonderful, but I am very excited that I get to leave school with a game plan and a career in tact. I look forward to having one main focus: Lizzie Loo. I am so excited to not have to bend my life around classes and projects. To be able to complete tasks in a timely fashion and be available to answer my phone more often :-)
The pictures below should be credited to Jake Stevens, one of the many wonderful people that made Western such a joy.
Chatting with President Ransdell….he wouldn’t let me go.
Myself, Joy and Libby – some of my best girlfriends.
I’m trying to track down a photo of my sparkle-tabulous hat…but for now, here’s an image of me.
BabyGirl Photo Project
Last semester my project was on the Bears football team.
For my final semester I latched onto the idea of girls growing up quickly – and how poverty pushed that process along at an alarming rate. I have kept this project under wraps for some time, because I was unsure of how I felt about the images.
I know that this project isn’t complete. I believe this series aspires to be told in book form. Image after image that cries for a fix in our nation’s young women. I was shocked on a regular basis as I became a fifth-grade girl for a few months. I wonder how this generation of young women will change our world. Will they grow into homemakers? Will they avoid marriage at all costs? Because that is their attitude right now – that marriage isn’t made to last, that is it painful and not worth the time. Will they grow to be strong or fall to everything that pushes at their emotions? Will they stay away from pregnancy before middle school ends? High school?
I still don’t know what to think about this. My hope is that, for now, these images be seen. I hope that these images push women to become involved in the younger generations. Through my work with the girls I saw how much a mentor program of some sort changed them. Having a good example and someone to hold them accountable really helped. I look forward to finding a new group of girls when I return home and latching onto them. I encourage you to do the same. Find one little lady that could use a mentor, a listening ear, someone to fight for her character. Engage yourself with her, support her and love on her – for that is all these young women need – love.
All I know for sure if that I LOVE the young women that you see in these images. They have each added to and changed my life and perspective on the world. I also know that I will continue to work on this project for many years to come – and I would love to know what you think about what you see.
At the completion of the semester, my class’ projects went up for review. An exit exam of sorts – photo style. You can listen here to what the PAC team had to say about my project.
And here is a link to the homepage if you’d like to understand a little more or listen to other reviews.
Enjoy and comment. Remember, for each comment made, a canned good is sent to feed a needy child over the weekend through Shelby County’s backpack food program.

More Shelby County High School Prom
Well, my last final is complete and now I’m working hard to tie up lots of loose ends. So here are more prom photos from my sister, Sara’s, trip to Shelby County High School’s Prom. She’s in the black and red dress, if you can’t tell from our identical-ness.
This is the group of girls Sara has been close with since she was a little girl.
Sara with our dad, Mike…who needs to shave that beard off.
My friend, Allie’s little sister, Jessica and her date.
