Lisa Schwartz's "Will You Accept This Ride?" Returns with New Season of Bachelor in Paradise Cast Members!

Lisa Schwartz launches her new season of Bachelor Insider's weekly web series "Will You Accept This Ride?" where she will interview various cast members of Bachelor Nation's Bachelor/Bachelorette spin-off Bachelor in Paradise.

On her show, WYATR host Lisa Schwartz interviews current and past Bachelor Nation cast members, while they ride around in a luxurious limo. I tagged along for the upgraded ride (check out the new limo!) to capture the moments with photos while Lisa had the chance to welcome two cast members in her first episode, airing Monday, August 14, 2017 on YouTube after Bachelor in Paradise!

While promos gave a sneak peek into what will happen throughout the season, surprise WYATR guest Wells Adams gives Lisa and her viewers lots of insider tidbits you don't want to miss!

Check back for more photos (and to find out who the other guest was)...more will be added once the WYATR episode airs!

"Will you accept this rose?" | Behind the scenes with Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay and Fiancé

Who watched this season of The Bachelorette? Now that the cat is out of the bag and the world knows that Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay has chosen her man, I am excited to announce my latest assignment - capturing the two of them with my lens! Shot for Bachelor Insider's web series "Will You Accept This Ride?" as a fan of the show, I was thankful for the opportunity to say yes to the question, "Will you accept this assignment?"

On her show, WYATR host Lisa Schwartz interviews current and past Bachelor Nation cast members, while they ride around in a luxurious limo. I was along for the adventure when Lisa had the chance to chat with Bachelorette Rachel and her chosen man, fiancé Bryan Abasolo. 

After riding around in the limo, we had a quick little engagement photo session while the couple beamed with happiness!

Higher Education | Pepperdine University Events

Having the chance to photograph for Pepperdine University was a pleasure. The Pepperdine Graziadio School of Business and Management enjoyed a celebration of MBA graduates and a finance workshop, and I was happy to be able to be present as a "fly on the wall" to capture it all!

The graduate dinner was held at the beautiful Marina Del Rey Hotel with its stunning atmosphere and breathtaking sunset view. The workshop took place on the beautiful Malibu campus overlooking picturesque landscape and the Pacific Ocean.

Here, some snapshots from the events...

Transition to 2017

This year, the transition into the new year seems...different. As we reflect on the year, and years prior, how are we going to make sure that 2017 and beyond are the best years yet? I'm curious, goals and resolutions aside, what are the things you will build into your lifestyle, your habits, your heart, that will sustain throughout the year...throughout your lifetime?

Behind the Lens | Kendra's Photography Faves

“One of my favorite things about photography is getting to share some of the obscure things I observe in everyday life, with others. One of my favorite times for documenting that is when I am able to capture people in a way that shows them a side of themselves they may not normally realize exists. Showing someone their inner beauty shining through on the outside? It’s priceless...” - Kendra

Family portraits for the holidays...

While I love to photograph landscapes, animals, nature, objects, and other things, some of my favorite things to photograph are people. I often call what I do "people photography," because whether it's solo portraits, a group of friends or strangers, relationships, life events, or any other scenario involving people, I love capturing the moments; interaction, relationship, candids, gazes, souls (and the "windows" to them).

I also grew up loving the holidays and what they meant. I loved the meaning of the season and that our family would get to gather for some good quality time -  filled with traditions, warmth and love - with our loved ones.

So, when Susie came to me for her holiday card portraits, I was not only touched that she was trusting me with such a special and momentous representative of her family, but I was excited about being a part of shaping what that would look like for them! We bounced a few ideas back and forth, and they quickly became the stars in their own holiday feature!

Here are a few of our favorites!

Confrontation...

Confrontation. Sunday reflection of a recent Sunday reflection... Sometimes you come upon unexpected surprises. It's what you do with them that determines the outcome. (In this case I spotted him from a distance and we had to slow down and stop to grab a photo...I think he was smizing...) #confrontation #wolf #cow #cattle #outdoors #wild #LakeTahoe #wilderness #nature #photography #photooftheday #impromptu #spontaneous #surprise #farm #staredown
