Wonderful Ms. Erin

I had the pleasure of photographing Erin, my best friend, this past Saturday out at her mom's house in Gaston! Great people and beautiful property! :-)

And since we were there why not take pictures of the kids too! :-)

My little rockstar!

A recent homework assignment I had was to create a high key portrait and mimic as much of another image I found. The image I found was on istockphoto.com and is seen below. Since I wanted to use my son as the subject the above "style" didn't suit him or me very well... we put our own creative spin on the assignment...

We had so much fun! He is such a great model, he's had so much practice since I've been pointing a camera at him since he was born, now that's a lot of practice! He also is an amazing photographer himself!

This image was shot in my dining room hanging my really nice white sheets from the ceiling! This assignment has shown me that I can really shoot anywhere, if I can do it in my tiny house then I could go to almost anyones' house and shoot there too!

Valerie

I had an amazing photoshoot with Valerie a few weeks ago, we had so much fun we plan to do it again very soon! She is such an amazing person I had such a great time! Thanks!

More Homework

Just thought I would post a quick picture from one of my shoots for my final. I had so much fun with all three of the girls, running around town taking pictures. I truly enjoy my job...

Finals are almost done!

I have been so stressed out over the past few weeks over finals, however after today a HUGE chunk of them are done! I got my business plan finished, printed and bound and I photographed 5 individual photo shoots! Here are a few of the shots from today...


I promise I will be back soon! :-)

Remodeling

I apologize for not blogging very much lately, you see we are getting our kitchen remodeled which means the house is in an uproar. Because the house is so tiny, everything from the kitchen, dining room, laundry room and office is all in the living room and hallway. Needless to say I've set the computer up in the hallway and I'm now on the floor with the keyboard in my lap. :-) I'll send you a few shots though!
This is my step-daughter, Ali, helping me out testing the lights before a photoshoot in the park, she loves helping me, I don't know if it's actually the helping me part or just being out of the house with all the boys!

Senior pictures time! We had such a great time today doing senior pictures for Alyssa!


For one of my assignments for school I decided to do it on "hidden" waterfalls in the Gorge... I don't want to say it was a bad idea, but it was a learning experience trying to find a waterfall that has no trail. I'm incredibly sore today from a few falls and the scrambling up and down the steep hill. We didn't make it to the waterfall due to the 200ft drop we couldn't seem to get down, we shall try again though. This image is farther upstream, Bridal Veil creek, heck I couldn't come home with nothing from my adventures!

And this is the lovely Erin who is becoming a Gyrotonics instructor. She is such a fun, great person!

Family Pictures

I've been a busy girl this past week! Senior pictures, family pictures and wedding pictures!
