2010 faves

I pulled some of my favorite shots from this year. It think it was a good exercise. At first I started to pull the pictures I thought everyone else would like before really choosing the ones that I liked. Then I looked for consistencies in my images and realized that I am falling in love with moody, dramatic lighting. I am still loving my tilt shift lens and my favorite thing to shoot is still fashion! I felt a bit lost and inconsistent with my editing....what do you think? I guess you don't always have to stay true to your editing style and certain pictures beg for a vintage look. Anyways, I recommend doing this if you are a photographer.

I had an amazing year and am truly blessed and grateful! I got to travel to San Fransisco, Kauai, Michigan, Carlsbad, Washington D.C., Kentucky, Idaho and San Diego for work this year and I loved every minute of it!

I have lots of personal and business goals for the new year! After I pull off 20 pounds or so ,I hope to water ski competitively again. I hope to have my daughter editing sessions and weddings with me as well as posting sessions on my blog and facebook for me(YAY!)

Thank you so much for looking at my blog, it really means a lot to me! I hope you have a happy and SAFE New Year's Eve and a peaceful New Year's Day!

Fog shoot~part two

Again, I wish it were foggier, but at least I finally got to shoot one of my favorite models!

Fog photo shoot part one

I have been dying to do a photo shoot in the fog so when the forecast called for it I set everything up for the next morning. Stephanie Brinkerhoff did a fabulous job on my daughter's hair and makeup! I just told her the look I was going for and she got it exactly right! I wish the fog would have been thicker and I wish I hadn't driven all the way up to Snowbasin without my memory cards, but I am still happy with how it turned out! My little 14 yr old looks 25 in these and it scares me! I'll post part two of this shoot soon.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Neighbor gifts

I wanted to share this cute neighbor gift idea with you! I just made some Chex muddy buddies and put them in glassine bags. Then I printed this cute poem and tied it with bakers twine.
