I did my version of "The Last Supper" using Ken dolls dressed in drag. I made there outfits and dressed each doll taking care with every detail. I submitted it to The Woodbury Museum in Orem for the Utah Valley University Student Art show. I received a Jurors choice award which was amazing. I feel completely honored as there were so many exceptional pieces in the show.

Unmade Bed

We had a new assignment for class, to photograph our unmade bed. It is an opportunity to use natural light and look at how the light affects the lines and folds in the bedding. Imogen Cunningham's photograph of The Unmade Bed allowed the viewer the chance to wonder about why the bed was empty, who slept there, and why the bed was unmade. It was a fun assignment to do. I sometimes forget how much natural light is right there at home for me to use.

Old Factory Buildings

I have been photographing old factory buildings for a fine art project. I am intrigued  by the history in the buildings and the way people used to live. I like to think about their life and how it was so different to the way we live now.

Equal Rights

My daughter and I went downtown Provo tonight to show our support in equalizing marriage rights for all. I met a few of my friends there and hopefully one day I will be able to photograph their wedding here in Utah. I was so proud of the BYU students who put this together. They did a great job.

Old Factory Buildings in Utah

I am working on a project for my Fine Art Photography class. I am intrigued by old factory buildings in Utah. I love the old brick and mortar look. I am finding that these buildings are harder to find than I thought. Many of these old buildings have been torn down and replaced with newer buildings that don't have the same feel.

Wedding Salt Lake Temple

 

Our class went to the Salt Lake Temple so we could practice photographing a wedding. Justin Hackworth set this up for us. It was quite the snow storm. The bride and groom were so nice to brave this cold day so we could photograph them. I have never shot in this much snow before it was a really good learning experience.

Bridals Getting Readcy

 Justin Hackworth our teacher at Utah Valley University and Wedding Photographer in Provo set up a bridal shoot for us so we could practice taking photos of the getting ready part of a wedding. It was a fun evening the model Julie Garbett and makeup artist Flavia Carolina of  Versa Artistry were fantastic. They kindly donated their time and talent to allow us this experience. Thank you Justin for putting this together for us.
