It's been such a long time I've shot pictures in somewhere other than the studio, this was a nice chance to get back to my 'roots'!

Oh, how I love repeat customers! I've photographed this little cutie and her mom from the time she was in her Mommy's stomach to now- at 6 months old. Her and her cousin are precious!

I love the color in this one!

Can I tell you how much I love just being in the studio??

Yep, I'm still alive. Here's the newest picture from the studio!

Your Future

So! This is PART of my photo project, I figured it would be nice to show a few. This project was definitely challenging, most of the time I'm taking pictures of people who I know pretty well, not total strangers. But it was a great learning experience for me. It taught me a lot about people... how different we all are. I am not exaggerating when I say that each one was a whole different experience. Each subject had a different story to tell, whether they wanted to or not, when I asked them to finish the sentence 'the future is....' as I took pictures, their story was apparent. Some had their whole life planned out, some had no idea at all, some bubbly, others solemn and serious, a few were open with their feelings, while most were clearly uncomfortable in front of the camera. All of them had one thing in common though, that inner desire to be better than they are.

Last year, when I was just getting used to the studio, we took pictures of this model. All of the photographers were in utter shock of her talent, and we were so glad when she approached us and asked to take some more pictures of her. We all gladly agreed :) I tried to do editing styles that were a little out of my comfort zone on these, and push the envelope on what I consider 'safe editing'. Should i push the editing more often? Give me your feedback!

I don't consider myself a nature photographer by any means, at all. But when you're traveling through to Utah and Idaho, and sitting in the car for over 24 flippin' hours.... You can't help but look at the scenery. And it was actually relaxing editing these, when I'm editing a client's pictures I'm always.... (always) thinking 'oh my gosh what if they don't like it???!!' The flowers are always so easy to please :)

(technically my sister took this one. It was on her side of the car so I handed her the camera and demand she take a picture!)










Oh yeah..... Did I mention I'll be moving to the lovely Utah for college next September? I'm just starting to build up a client base here in Arizona... I'll definitely miss that. But hey. I'm sure there are plenty of people in Utah wanting pictures!!
