Hey everybody,

Sorry I haven’t blogged in ages, but I’ve been too swamped to post. But it is my new goal to post all the shoots I’ve been doing. So, I’m going to try  to start doing one a week and I’ll see if I can ever catch up.

I’ve been working on a new site and it should be up soon! My current site is so out of date that I felt like I need to start from scratch and figure out all the work that I haven’t put up in the past 2 years.

So check back soon!!

Just to leave this post with an image. Here is one I did a little while ago. It is a polaroid manipulation. I used strobes with an old polaroid to shoot this. Then  I used a hot spoon to manipulate it. The texture turned out far better than I ever realized and I  really think it helped with my concept behind the Image. Gotta love Polaroid!

I have been posting to my family blog weekly but not so much to this one. But I have been working on a few new things lately. I’ll try to make myself post more often. Here are a few pics from the last week.

Hey everybody,
I have been paying more attention to my personal blog that this one lately. So I thought I would share this photo.

I just finished Marren and Dirks wedding and thought I would put a few up to sneak peek a few of my favorites.

The wedding was super fun, there was a ton of dancing and the food was great!

I really loved the lighting that they had, and it was pretty challenging to capture the lighting. But I was a beautiful night.

I’ll post more from the rest of the wedding when I get a minute.

I just finished a photo shoot for a company who specializes in parties for kids. This is for all of you working moms out there, who want to have a big party for your kids but don’t have time to do all the work yourself, consider One Charming Party. Brittany has some serious skills when it comes to having parties. She’ll do all the work, Vegan cupcakes (amazing), pick up your party favors, make your decorations, hire you a top-notch photographer , everything!

She’s been doing it her whole life and she knows what kids love!

Check out some pics from the other nights events.

The artist herself, after every party has her feet photographed.

If any of you need a commercial photographer, or photographer for any parties, don’t hesitate to call.

So I haven’t posted a ton lately, I’ve been way to swamped to do it. But I took yesterday off and used the new Canon 100mm 2.8L and thought I would try it out on my kid-O Millie. When you are close and she is moving, it is hard to get focus for sure! She is a doll though.

So I just got a new little point-and-shoot camera to replace my G9. Over all it really doesn’t blow my mind because the sensor is so small.
But that little thing has improved quite a bit:

• better range
• better color
• better contrast
• better tone
• super small
• I love the new front ring (Mine is set to make quick ISO settings)
• back ring is just how it should be (I use mine for +- expose settings)
• It’s small but still shoot in raw
• Usable ISO (shoot it up to 1000 ISO and have it look good)
• 2.0 lens (It’s only OK at 2.0, but good at 4.0ish)

Here are some sample pictures from the Canon S90

Its a good little camera. But the small files are still hard to look at compared to my 5d Mark II files. But at least it is small and sometimes I just don’t need files that big.

Hey again, check out the day family photographs. I thought they turned out pretty sweet. They were all done down town Salt Lake area. There are many more to come so stay tuned.

It is already a crazy fall. I have been doing several shoots every day. So I’ll try to put a lot up in the next few weeks.

The girls didn’t want to pose or have there photographer taken with there parents. But  they were quite happy playing/tasting rocks by themselves. Kids will be kids.

I know the color is quite a bit different between these. But they are just for the blog.

Judging by this photo, Sienna is going to be a little painter I think.

These are just a sneak peak because there are a ton of photos from this shoot to post up. But I’m currently swamped with work so this is just a sneak peak. These where defiantly fun family photographs. Here kids where really funny and totally full of energy. This family is totally great!

It is fun to see how different all families are and work together. I have  been thinking that this is why it doesn’t make sense to do any two families the same.
