JAMIE LEE

Jamie is my cousin from Ashton, Idaho. She is 16 and is trying to break into the modeling industry, so yesterday we did some fun shots of her. It was really fun for me, something a little different, and I think they turned out pretty good... with a couple of fun looks!

REID HARRIS FAMILY

I had the opportunity to photograph The Reid family from Virginia last Friday. I had previously photographed Christinas sister Melissa a few months back and they liked them so much they called me to do their pictures... yeah! Everyone was so photogenic and so easy to work with, thanks for the great photos, Enjoy!

SOPHIE ELIZABETH

Baby Perfection!

VEGAS BABY... YEAH!

I'm back! Wow, what an experience! For those of you that don't know, I went to Vegas this past week for the WPPI convention and it was awesome, just what I needed.

First things first, I have to give props to Joe Photo, the photographer that mentored me. He was so kind, insipiring, stylish, and smart. He gave me some great advice that I am going to apply to my business right away, so thanks Joe for the session.

I was not able to take a lot of photographs because I was going non-stop from early morning 'til late at night and I didn't want to lug around my camera the whole time (I forgot my six point-shooter). Anyway, what a time, what an education, what an experience, and I got to meet a lot of really great photographers that I look up to immensly! So thanks Vegas!

THE ONE LIGHT WORKSHOP SLC

Where do I begin? The Salt Lake area photographers had such an experience with the man you'll see below... his name? Zack Arias (Air*eee*Us) of Used Film.

Davina Fear hosted the workshop and had been trying to get Zack to come to Utah for months to teach us his magic tricks, and she finally pulled it off. The workshop lasted ALL day, I'm talkin' 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., and it still wasn't enough time. He enlightened me in so many ways, I don't even know where to begin to start. Let's just say, I learned MORE in 16.5 hours of his workshop than I learned in two semesters at BYU. I finally understand the correlation between the aperture and the shutter speed when it comes to studio lighting (in this scenerio, on location lighting). Zack is not a fan of on camera flash and says flash should only be used off camera and in the manual setting function... interesting, I love the idea!

It was such a great day... I am so grateful Zack was able to come... and he's such a cool guy to boot ;) Thanks Zack Arias!
