Sno Beach

Sometime around the first of April, I went to visit my dear friend Alex at Sno Beach. I thought it would be funny to snap some photos of Alex hard at work, making the perfect cotton candy & blue bubblegum with cream snow cone. The pictures, the lighting, the model all worked to create some pretty fun photographs. One portrait in particular has become a personal favorite and the inspiration for a photo project---the month of portraits. I posted a portrait each day during the month of April to my Instagram account (@victoriahaas). I initially wrote:

For the month of April, I'm going to try to post a portrait each day. You will get to meet my beautiful friends and some beautiful strangers.

I used hashtags like #makeportraits and #thesisportraits, and it has been a good daily challenge--encouraging both inspiration, creativeness, and consistency. I will probably write up a longer post in a few days as April comes to a close, but here below are the images that inspired the April month of portraits.
