rooftop photos by Intern : Olivia

Howdy! I'm Olivia and I started interning for SheWanders last Spring. It was an experience I will forever remember and I'll always bear in mind the innumerable lessons I learned along the way. Suzanne and Mike are two of the greatest photographers, and people, that I have been lucky (and thankful) enough to have met. One awesome day at work, Suzanne and Mike took us interns to the top of a roof downtown. Not only did we get to dress up and have our make-up and hair done (by the phenomenally talented Audra René of Audra René Studio and her friend Elena) but we got to use Suzanne and Mike's incredible cameras and lenses to learn about photo-shoots, the proper positioning of models, correct exposure, and much more. One funny fact they taught us, which I'll admit I sometimes drop into conversations, that I thought was quite interesting, was that everyone has a masculine and feminine side to their faces. You just have to put up your hand, so as to split one's face in half and then decide, as the photographer, which side would be best for them to pose with. Of course either way they'll look beautiful, but who knew that a "better side" actually existed?? I will admit that now, when I try to look buff, I turn to my left ;) haha. I'm forever thankful for the time I spent at SheWanders and will carry the lessons I learned with me towards becoming a professional photographer. Thank you Suzanne and Mike!Wishing you nothing but smiles,

Hello all!!  Hope your having a wonderful Monday.  Here are a few photos I took while on the St. James rooftop downtown... we had so much fun getting all dolled up and photographing each other!  I am blessed to have met so many beautiful people through SheWanders and look forward to continuing a close relationship with all of them.  One of the many things I learned while interning with SheWanders:  being a photographer is HARD WORK!  You've got to make sure the light looks good, the pose looks natural, the eyes are open, the shirt's tucked in, that you can see the background, that the composition is alright.  Another something I learned ( maybe re-learned!) at SheWanders:  you can do ANYTHING you really want to do, if you work REALLY hard.  Mike and Suzanne gave me plenty of tough tasks to tackle, and even when I doubted myself, they never doubted me.  Seeing their work ethic, professionalism and passion motivates me to find my own unique goals, and work REALLY HARD to achieve them!  xoxo..
