Final Project

A year ago I took my first photography class at Weber State. For our final we could choose any theme we wanted and I chose to do something that would capture a juxtaposition. In truth, this is my favorite way to shoot. I love creating a photoshoot that pairs two opposites together. My favorite trend seems to be dressing people up all fancy and then shooting them in the outdoors, on trampolines, in dirty old junkyards and etc. I really had fun with this project and I couldn't have done it without my amazing models: Anne & Abbie. Thanks girls, you were so fun to shoot!

Jason & Brooke {Engagement}

Jason is a dear friend from college who married the cutest girl back in August. They married out of the state, so I wasn't able to attend the ceremony, but I DID get to shoot their engagement session a few months before they were blissfully wed. They gave me full control of the shoot, and I had been wanting to do a shoot that resembled a vintage country picnic - if that even makes sense -complete with old-school orange sodas. We had such a great time that I've all but decided that shooting couples in love may be my favorite thing to do.

Christmas Card Shoot {Families}

When my hubby's dad "accidentally" bought a fire truck a few months ago, we knew a photoshoot was imminent. We decided it would be fun to do for our Christmas cards this past year. We also included my hubby's brother's Vespa & my hubby's sweet motorcycle. The result was an awesome shoot that covered all types of transportation. We shot some of the pics at the Historic Wheeler Farm, and the sun even peeked out for a bit, which made it the perfect fall afternoon. Our cousin Carlie agreed to be the camera woman and we even got our kids (aka dogs) to cooperate for some cool shots.

The three pictures below were what we chose for our Christmas card - we couldn't choose just one! I've become obsessed with under-saturating pictures lately and my Christmas photos were no exception.

And........the Christmas Card we sent out:
