My friend Eve.  Every time she smiles, she gets the cutest scrunch in her nose.  The classic Eve nose scrunch.

Eve, an avid soccer player, stretches before soccer practice.

Eve, a communications major, takes her school work very seriously.

She's clearly having a great time while "Exploring Leadership."

This is Terri. She is the "house mom" for a sorority house, living there to ensure everything runs smoothly. She is an alumni of the sorority and also an army woman. One definitely needs to be tough to manage 51 girls.

When she has some extra time, Terri likes to play in an army fast-pitch softball league. The league is called "RED" meaning, "Remember Everyone Deployed." They wear the color red every Friday.

Terri sits down with her residents (and sisters!) for dinner every night.

This is my good friend Malik Syed. His chemical engineering major keeps him very busy, but he always finds the time to get to the gym early in the morning and play intramural soccer late at night.

Malik is usually in a good mood and always has a smile on his face.

After class, Malik gets right to his homework in order to free up his time for later in the day.

Malik's favorite sport is soccer, so in his free time, you can typically find him either training for soccer or watching soccer.

Malik is on his way to play a game for his intramural soccer team late at night on Tuesday, September 12, 2017.

Photo Assignment #2, Underwood

Adaeze is a lover of language and she's studying at Spanish UMD, which is why we shot photos of her in and around the Jimenez building's foreign language department. She's a great friend of mine with a personality lively enough to radiate throughout the photos we took.

Senior track runner, Eric Thomas, gladly agreed to be my subject for this project. He's a really happy, energetic, fun loving individual. When he's not running track he's usually hanging out with friends or eating... a lot. He's really fast though, keeping up with him on camera was a challenge.

His rainbow cleats made for great composition. 

Thomas looking ahead fiercely while in starting position.

Photo Assignment #2, Gershkovich

Sharon Rosenblum is a sophomore at UMD studying neurobiology and physiology. She is one of my closest friends. Sharon is incredibly smart and intellectual, yet, as you can tell by these pictures, she's very quirky and likes to have fun. She feels totally comfortable being herself and doesn't get embarrassed ever. I chose to do this photoshoot in the garden next to the Memorial Chapel on campus because Sharon feels most in her element in nature, and I felt it would allow her personality to shine best. 

"Should I pretend it's a mustache?"

Eye wasn't ready for this picture...

Sharon enjoying nature.

Bold and unique. Just like Sharon.

This is my roommate Taylor!

 She is a cheerleader at the University of Maryland.

 She is an architecture major and spends many nights drawing sketches.  

One of her favorite things to do is have late night dance sessions. 

Photo Assignment #2, Casey

 This is my roommate, Allie. When I leave for class, she is usually asleep, and when I come home from class, she is still sleeping. 

Allie loved the idea of this project, because it meant I would help her get a really good Instagram. She, later, posted a photo from this photoshoot. 

 Being from New York, Allie was excited to hear about the opening of Bagels 'N Grinds on Route 1. This photo was taken on her second bagel in one sitting, when they greeted her by name at the counter. 

Allie is the Scholarship Chair for our sorority, and she is a TA, so I usually find her doing work.
