On Location


A while ago, I had the opportunity to do an on location photo-shoot in Southern Utah (Hurricane, UT) where the red rock and open spaces are standard. The pictures turned out so beautiful. The lighting was perfect and the "male model" (my father-in-law) took directions well. :) It is always fun and challenging to take pictures in a new location and in a different way. That was what this photo shoot was about. I had mostly taken candids and family pictures (mine) before this. My husband and I did this shoot together. It was awesome!

'til next time. :)

Children Photography


Children make the most innocent and honest subjects. I love it! Sometimes it takes a little longer to get that "picture perfect smile" but it is always worth the effort and usually more genuine than you expect. No matter what expression they have on their faces, it reflects what is in their souls.

Weddings


I have been gathering photos for my portfolio and I found some photos from weddings I helped assist. I was a 2nd photographer for a friend, Jamelle Kelly, in Arizona. It really helped watching another photographer work and learn from what they do.

Taking pictures for a wedding is tons of pressure, but great opportunity to take lots of pictures and to get creative. Weddings are long days - especially in the AZ heat. :) But - I had so much fun and gained so much knowledge and satisfaction from the event. Who would have thought that something so hard would be so much fun?
