Here she is! Sorry it has taken me sooo long to get these on here - I have about 4 other shoots I haven't gotten up yet either - but better late than never, right? This adorable blanket was handmade by Madeline's Mom, so of course we had to get some pictures with it, and I love how it looks. Enjoy this precious face. I can't stop looking, either.

Sadowski {family}

2010-11-19T12:09:00.000-08:00

Ok let me tell you about this family - first of all, I'm in love with them. The whole family. They are literally the cutest peeps around. not to mention tons of fun. But the reason this shoot was such a big deal was because one of the boys and his family live in Hawaii, and they had come out for a visit. Their kids were ultra excited about the snow, but they weren't quite as excited about the temperature! It was super cold. But we had such a great time anyway. It was ultra fun to hang out with them.

Now let me tell you about the shoot - we had planned to take photos at sundance. We had called to make sure it was ok for us to be there and do so. However, after taking only one photo - a man drove up to us and told us we had to leave. After a few minutes of talking with him, he finally said he would drive around the property one more time (like 10-15 minutes) and we better be gone before he got back.

this was literally the most thrown together shoot I have ever done. We wanted to get a couple of all the family, and then some of each individual family, and the kids, and the bros and sisters together, and the parents - and we only had a few minutes. ha. It was crazy, but like I said - really fun. I hope you can enjoy these pics as much as I do. seriously some of my faves. ever.

Thank you SO much, Sadowski's! You guys are way too cute. love you all!

This was a really fun shoot. I can't wait to show you the final results from this shoot.

Help Me Improve My Editing

2010-09-29T08:55:00.000-07:00

Alright you guys. Here's the thing. Lightroom is by far the most amazing program I have ever used for editing photos. I mean, I can change it extremely or just a lil' bit and it always turns out nicely. You can do SOOO many things with it. For example....

This First picture of the boys, I upped the temperature to +8. It gives it a warmer look to it. that is all I did.

This second picture of boys I upped the temperature to +22, and added the black vignette edge to it. It's a subtle edge.

This one of mom and pops has a little bit more of a vignette black edge. and I messed with the coloring here too.

This one of Sophie has pretty freakin' extreme vignette edge.

This family photo I added a slight vignette edge to it, but also straightened the ground. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or bad, because since they were standing on a hill...does it look weird to you having it straight?

Here is one not edited at all, so that you can see how it looks originally.

My personal favorites are the vigenette edge, and the higher temperature. But that's just me. What do you guys like or don't like about these pics? Let me know. I'll post the real reveal of this photos as soon as I can. There are many more fun one and family group pics. Get excited!

Tiffany - Bridals

2010-09-12T12:56:00.000-07:00

I have loved taking Sam and Tiffany's photos but I think these bridals might be my fave that I've done for them. She is such a perfect little model and between her dress and gorgeous face, it made for easy and great looking pics. Congrats, Tiffany!

Tiffany - Bridals

2010-09-07T19:07:00.000-07:00

More pictures coming soon! I am not dead, I've just been without internet for many months. Soon I will catch up on all my shoots. Meanwhile enjoy this gorgeous bride!

Sam + Tiffany engagements

2010-07-09T09:33:00.000-07:00

At long last! Here they are. We had a good time on this shoot. We did a lot of pictures at the park by Mt. Timpanogous LDS temple, and then the rest we did at an rotting old house.

Indoor lighting used to really be hard for me to deal with because I don't have all the fancy equipment to make it lighted properly. However, I decided to have a change in attitude: Embrace the lack of lighting instead of cursing it.

What do you think? Did we do well with the lack of lighting on the indoor ones? I have to say I'm happy with the turnout. Thanks Sam and Tiffany for being great models once again! You're awesome.

Just Friends Announcements

2010-07-01T08:41:00.000-07:00

this is my brother Jay. and our mutual friend, Chantelle. they are not dating. But they were kind enough to play around on Jay's scooter for a photoshoot for me. Thanks you two! You're fantastic.

What do you guys think?

Sam + Tiffany preview

2010-06-27T08:10:00.000-07:00

Here's a preview of Sam and tiffany's engagements. You probably cannot tell from this photo but these two have been models for me before in this wintery photoshoot quite a few months ago. They are so great to work with and I have so much fun with them. I was thrilled when they called to have me take more photos of them!

Jordyn + Bryce engagements

2010-06-24T15:22:00.001-07:00

Well here they are! We had a good time, minus the fear of snakes biting me, on this shoot. The locatio nwas great, the couple is beautiful, they had good outfits, and even brought the best prop ever: a retro orange bike. Can it get any better than that? I think not. Unless there are no snakes, then it could be better. ha.

But for reals, thanks to Jordyn and Bryce for having me take their pics. I was happy with the turn out. And can Jordyn be any prettier? I think not. You're beautiful!

Congrats you two!

Jordyn + Bryce sneak peak

Jay is completely a win-win situation. Now, to get to the photography side of things, this was my first portraits of a guy. I'm pretty happy with the results and I learned a lot on this shoot.

Well My little boy, Rocky has sure grown up and out! He's a chunk, and before he starts crawling and losing some of his fat baby weight I just couldn't resist doing a quick little shoot with him. I didn't even change his outfit, just left him in the onesie he wore to bed. But I sure am happy with the results

Grace got a lil' bit jealous and needed some photo time too.

let's end with my favorite one, shall we?
Have a Happy Easter Weekend!

This pose with the towels is inspired by a very similar pose done by Nickell Photography. Nickell is an amazingly talented and professional photographer. Something I am aspiring to become.

2010-03-13T19:37:00.000-08:00

Look at this b-e-a-utiful little girl! She has the best hair ever! I love it. This was a really fun shoot, and I got some great practice for newborns, and am feeling a little better in that area. Usually my "preview" posts are just one picture, but I'm too excited about how some of these have turned out already, so here a few of my faves so far, with more to come soon. Thanks Lindsey (the mom) and Emery of course, for a great shoot!

Well at long last I have finally finished these photos. I am pretty happy with the turnout. Thanks you guys for a way fun shoot and for being such great models for me! I had a great time. And have you guys ever seen kids as beautiful as these two? Seriously. So gorgeous.

Oh and i should mention, in case you can't tell, that these guys are major Penn State fans. Hence the Penn state pictures. That was fun. And these guys are in love. And that's just cute.

Check this out:

This is a new little editing tool I have discovered recently: vignettes. I think I am just too in love with how they look right now and think they look great on every single photo. What do you think?
Here is an example on a full color photo:

This is an example on the subtle color, as well as the vignette itself is not as dramatic.

Here is an example of a dramatic vignette on black and white

and this could possibly be my new favorite photo. I love the coloring. I love the vignette.

Almoney Family - Sneak Peak

2009-11-11T16:23:00.000-08:00

This is one of the most popular locations for photoshoots it seems. I've had more clients choose it more than any other! Doesn't surprise me, it's beautiful, but it surprises me. haha.

I've just started going through these pics so it'll be a few days until I have the fully loaded version. But this family is just so beautiful I had to give you a sneak peak. I used to work with the mom and she is A-mazing. Always happy and sweet and gorgeous! She doesn't even have to try, and it looks like that is how her family is too! More to come...

Morrise Family - Part 2

2009-11-07T08:45:00.001-08:00

Kevin, Amy, Callie, & Chloe - Fully Loaded

2009-11-02T19:03:00.000-08:00

Well kids, they're done. Here are my faves. The lack of lighting was hard to work with, and now that we've lost another hour of light, photoshoots will have to take place even earlier in the evening to have great lighting. However, I think these turned out fairly well considering. Thanks so much you guys for a great shoot!

Amy, most of these pictures I have in full color and black and white, with a few in the subtle coloring. So these are just an example of one or the other on each picture. The B&W ones shown on here I almost like better in color, but I wanted to give you an example of the B&W photos to see if you liked them or not. Let me know what you think.

Kevin & Amy...and Callie and Chloe too! - Preview

2009-10-30T09:32:00.000-07:00

This shoot was fun! we had some challenges, namely lack of light as well as two beautiful hyper boxer puppies. (I'm in love, you guys. I want a boxer now) But it was lots of fun and Amy and Kevin looked great. Just look at how beautiful Amy is! Anyway this is the sneak preview. I should have the full deal within the week. Loved working with these guys!

The Morrise Family - Part 1

adorable!

The Morrise Family - preview

2009-10-26T20:27:00.000-07:00

So this is my sister and her adorable family. I had a few lighting issues, as the sun was only apparent for about 5 minutes, but other than that the shoot seemed to go fairly well. It was fun doing a family with multiple kids, new for me, but it seemed to go well, so I am excited about that. Here is a quick preview for what's to come...

PJ and Liz - The Real Deal

2009-10-15T08:43:00.000-07:00

Ok so in general when I have a photoshoot I have to give a lot of direction, which is totally fine. But these two were amazing! They just were playful and fun and just themselves -- and I took pictures of it. It was like magic. Thanks you guys for such a fun and amazing shoot. Let's do it again sometime.

It's good to be back.

PJ and Liz - Preview

2009-10-13T23:18:00.000-07:00

Well I'm back. This is the first photoshoot since I had Rocky in July. I think I have had a long enough break and doing this shoot reminded me just how much I love taking pictures and how much fun it is. Thanks PJ and Liz for being such great models! I loved most of the pics. Here is a sneak peak of what's in store...

Rebecca - Bridals

2009-06-17T13:32:00.001-07:00

wow! This shoot was amazing and crazy! The weather would change about every 5 minutes from raining to super bright sunlight. Becky is so stunning it was hard to choose my favorites, but here is a good sampling. She was so fun to work with and we had a great shoot! I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did doing them. Thanks Becky!

Also, the adorable umbrella is thanks to Erin. And if any of you know Erin, you know how important her umbrella is to her, especially on the rainy day that it was. So a big THANKS to her for letting us use it for the shoot. I think it turned out great!

Rebecca - Bridals Preview

2009-06-16T16:09:00.000-07:00

Thanks Katie! Congratulations!

Baby Sophie

2009-05-11T14:23:00.000-07:00

Jared and Rebecca

2009-04-24T19:28:00.000-07:00

Here they are! It was hard to pick my favorites from this photoshoot as it was such a lovely day. Hence why I posted so many, and still it's a small sampling of the day. What do you think?

Kelley and Chad

2009-04-22T08:59:00.000-07:00

These pictures are from Monday morning. We took them downtown SLC and around temple square. It was a great shoot. What a cute couple! Thanks for a fun time guys!

Jared and Rebecca - Preview

Katie and Clancy!

2009-04-07T20:14:00.001-07:00

So This was my first time doing the whole shoot in manuel mode, which means it was quite the learning experience, we'll just leave it at that. These are a few of my favorites so far. Katie and Clancy were so much fun! They were super cute and happy and totally in love! And they were way patient with me when I was messing with my settings, so it was a great shoot! Thanks guys for a good time!

Mr. and Mrs. Mena - Reception

2009-03-03T21:14:00.000-08:00

Well here are the final Mena ones I am going to post. Here are a few from the temple, but mostly from the reception. Once again, thanks Nikki for having me do this. She was the first wedding I had scheduled...turned out I did a few before hers, but still. It will always seem like my first and am grateful for the opportunity to have taken her pictures. It was a lot of fun!

Jordan and Katie...and Remington!

2009-03-02T16:38:00.000-08:00

This was such a fun photoshoot! And my first time having a dog in the pictures, so that was a great and fun experience. Thanks so much guys!

Each picture I do in a more high contrast color version, subtle color, and black and white version. Here are a few examples:

And Katie, I did one in the brown/sepia tone to give you an example of that. If you want more done this way, let me know.

What do you think?

2009-03-02T15:20:00.001-08:00

This was such a fun photoshoot! And my first time having a dog in the pictures, so that was a great and fun experience. I am in the middle of editing these, so there is more to come. But here is my favorite one at the moment. It may change. What do you think?

Clary Family

2009-02-17T16:02:00.000-08:00

James' brother Richard, his wife Mindy, and their boys Landon and Carson. They were the first to have me take their pictures....which means I took these at the end of Summer 08, so it took me awhile to post them, abviously. Thanks so much you guys! you got me started on an excellent journey! Look how adorable this family is...

Mr. and Mrs. Mena - at long last!

2009-02-17T15:42:00.000-08:00

Sorry it has taken me forever to get these pictures up! Since Nikki and Monte are both better at photo editing than me, I didn't do too many pictures as far as editing goes. But here are a few that I have edited from the temple grounds and then I will get the reception ones up pronto. Thanks Nikki and Monte for letting me do this! It was so much fun. too bad it was FREEZING at the temple! I loved it anyway though. You two are the best. THanks!

Jer, Rosanne, and lil' Ada

2009-02-17T15:32:00.000-08:00

Denise and Kids

Hansen Family

2009-02-17T15:22:00.000-08:00

I know it's been forever since I've posted pictures, but here are a few highlights of ALL of my photoshoots. This is the Hunter family. I did their WHOLE family, which turned out OK, but I could have set it up SO much better. But that's why I get experience and learn, right? And then we did individual family pictures for each of their children. It was a lot of fun and I had a blast hanging out with them. Here are a few of my favorites.

I love these two so much I cried my eyes out as I took their pictures of them driving away to their honeymoon. I'm so happy for them. What a great couple. Seriously.

Anyway, I am way to tired to get things edited and posted tonight, since I just got home from the reception, however, just taking a quick glance this is one of my favorites. And for all you happy people out there, do you love their smiles? I do.
