A boy and his board

Posted in Children

Jami & I went out the other day to practice some of the stuff we learned at our workshop a week ago (more on that later). Plus, her boy is turning 10 and she wanted some photos of him & his longboard. Great timing. It was fun to get out and shoot, and even better, my radio poppers were actually cooperating so we got some sweet lighting. Its amazing what new batteries will do.  :)  And I’m pretty proud of this first image. Just saying.

Thanks so much for coming with me! I love the shots you got- so my little guy!

Parker Grimes - March 5, 2010 - 2:11 pm

Nice! They are all great, but I really like the first one. The sun flare, ocf, and backlighting by the sun are great. I like his pose too.

crave photography - March 5, 2010 - 12:37 pm

Yes, that top shot is sweet! Looks like you learned some fun stuff! These are really fun and I like how they show off his personality!

TravisJ - March 5, 2010 - 11:03 am

These look great. They are making me more excited to starting playing with OCF.

Rod & Emily’s Wedding: 2nd Shooting

Posted in Wedding

Here’s part II (Emily’s bridals here) from second shooting with David Terry.  We shot this at the Red Barn in Mapleton, and it was an absolutely gorgeous day right up until the snowstorm hit mid-afternoon.:)I’m just glad we had a little sun for some after-ceremony portraits of the bride & groom.

Emily’s Bridals

Posted in Bridals/Formals

One of the best things any photographer can do is to second shoot with someone else.  You get the opportunity to watch someone else’s shooting style, client interaction, and hopefully learn a few things to incorporate into & improve your own style of shooting.  I’ve been impressed with David Terry’s photography for quite some time, especially his ability to blend artificial light and natural light in his sessions using off camera flash (OCF). Awhile back I asked if he had any weddings coming up that he needed an assistant/light holder/second shooter, and he graciously allowed me to tag along for the bridals as well! It was great to shoot with him and I learned a ton. Plus, how could we not enjoy photographing such a beautiful bride?

My cuties: Utah Children Photographer

Posted in Children

I had the fun opportunity of hanging with Tara Winsor the other day, and because we both needed to get out and shoot, we bundled up my kids and set out to torture take some pictures of them. She even managed to get me to pose for a few with my kids. Head over here to check them out!

Those are awesome, such cute kids! I love the ones of them hugging.
So I would love to do your crib bedding. I’m not sure how soon I can have it done though, when are you due again? Do you know boy or girl? Do you have any ideas for it? Send me an email!

Karen Bourne - February 17, 2010 - 7:36 pm

Are you kidding?! Rachel is so BIG and SO CUTE. Her hair is adorable. WOW! What a cutie.

Michelle – Maternity Photos

Posted in Maternity

A couple of years ago I attending a workshop by the amazing Skye Hardwick and met this amazing group of girls. I love that we’ve stayed friends and encourage & support one another in our businesses. It’s such a boost to hang out with them! We’ve semi-started a tradition of getting together and shooting on New Year’s Day. This year, we had the lovely Michelle as a model (thanks to Jami!). I also love that we each got such different pictures from the same shoot. Check them all out: Steph, Jeana, Jami, & Bev.

Let’s just say I will not look like this at 32 weeks pregnant.

Beautiful! I love these!

crave photography - February 13, 2010 - 3:27 am

The images are amazing. I skipped on over to all the blogs. It’s fun to see what different perspectives you each came away with and the different processing! Way to go!!!

Parker Grimes - February 9, 2010 - 10:21 pm

Very beautiful. I like your new blog format too, nice.

Stacy Young - February 9, 2010 - 2:57 pm

Lovely photos and amazing location. Colors, posing, light, everything is simply gorgeous.

Janssen - February 9, 2010 - 2:53 pm

Those are beautiful! I hope I look like that at 32 weeks, my word.

Also, do you think she looks a little like Reese Witherspoon?
