A Little Treat

One of my favorite photographers of ALL time is Michael Kenna. He takes such simple subjects and makes them look so beautiful. He is known mostly for the movement in his photographs. It is absolutely gorgeous. I've been staring at his work for a while now so I thought I'd share some of my favorite with you. Check him out here

Salt Lake City Temple

Sweet and Sassy

I was playing around with some more of the images from Amy and Autumns shoot from December. They are darling girls. And since I'm headed down to St. George for a Bridal shoot this weekend, I thought I would feature some more of the beautiful St. George gals!

My Favorite Place in the World

Taber, Alberta, Canada is on my my favorite places in the ENTIRE world. I'm not sure why really because there isn't a lot there. But I seriously love it. I usually look forward to Taber more than I do Calgary when I go to Canada. This time around was about equal excitement for each place though... Again in Taber, I mostly shot with just my 35 mm film camera. I still don't know what my issue was with not getting out the digital. However I did shoot quite a bit more in Taber. Here are a few of my favorites.

That's Right... Harris Road. My Dad grew up here.

For those of you that don't know.. I LOVE clouds in pictures. To me
It will make the most boring photo AWESOME! This trip had
some cool clouds.

Calgary

I went up to Canada a few weeks ago and it was great. I wanted to go downtown and get some shots so one of my friends showed me around the city. I was completely out of it that day in every way possible so nothing turned out the way I wanted and I hardly shot anything. And with only one camera. WHAT WAS I THINKING? I don't know. I guess I'll have to go back soon!

Party = Porter

Meet Marci, a.k.a. Party Porter. One day I got home from class and had a sudden urge to go take pictures. So Marci willingly obliged and got all dolled up. We headed up to the Provo Temple to take pictures. You would not guess that location by this first image I posted (black and white). But I really really love the image. It shows a side of Marci that no one ever sees because... well she doesn't have a dark and creepy side. So maybe we can call it her seductive side... But I still love it. I had to add the jumping picture because jumping picture = Marci. No matter where she is, there is always a jumping picture. Kennedy and Kristi can attest to this, and I'm sure everyone else who knows her can as well!

The First Ever

I have come to appreciate my friends a ton in my photography. A lot of what I have been able to do is because a friend of a friend refers another friend back to me. And all crazy things.

My first "professional" shoot was an engagement session. I had never met the couple before which made me a little nervous that they were trusting ME, someone that hadn't done anything before for their pictures. Darrin (the groom) worked with one of my friends roommates. She (my friends roommate) saw some stuff I did through good ol' facebook and told Darrin about it.

So... because it was my first I will only post very few of what we did that day. They look great, but as for me and my skills, I feel that I have gotten quite a bit better since this shoot.

This is the image the chose for their announcement
