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.

Working on my Portfolio for my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography


 It is crunch time and I am putting together images that I will use for my portfolio. I am focusing on portraits, these are a couple of portraits of animals I am including. I love the intimate feel a close up photograph allows the viewer to have with the subject. Whether it is a person, an animal, or a flower the feeling is there.

San Diego Boating

I love being on or near the water. Since it has been so cold in Utah I thought it would be nice to post a reminder of the warmer weather in San Diego. While sailing on a 139 foot sailboat we ran across the navy running their hover craft. I always pictured the hover craft as fairly small. This was huge, and it was really fast. We were out on a whale watching trip. We did see a Finn Whale it surfaced several times. I have seen whales before but learned something new. Whales actually leave a footprint in the water. The power and force they have leave an area in the water that is calm and actually takes some time for the waves to break it up.

The US Navy Hover Craft
What a lucky family to spend the day sailing.

Brant and Lisa Couples Photoshoot Rock Canyon, Provo

 Brant and Lisa let me photograph them in Rock Canyon. It was a beautiful day, a little cold still but overall one of the nicer days we have had. Brant and Lisa were so much fun always laughing and joking around with each other. What a great couple, never a dull moment.
