Leela's First Trip to Park

Leela is just over 10 months old. These are pics of her first trip to the park. It was so hot that day, but she had a good time in the swing and playing in the grass with her shoes. Here are some of my favorites from the day!

Bridget and Kosmo

This weekend I had the pleasure of shooting Bridget along with her spunky little Puggle named Kosmo. Kosmo was full of life and energy and loved running all over the studio at school. Here are the best images of them.  I also had the opportunity to take lots of photos of Bridget alone, and will post those in a separate blog post. 

Bridal shoot

I had the pleasure of working with Heather this weekend for a Bridal shoot. We had an awesome time, and I think as a result of that captured some great images. We took over 200 photos, and after narrowing it down, there were still over 100 images that I loved. Narrowing it down to these for the blog was the best I could do. I really love all the images from this shoot. Heather is a beautiful and amazing girl to work with!

Pet shoot.

Things have been crazy here. I have been so busy shooting everything that I possibly can in preparation for my final portfolio. It's really hard to believe that I'm graduating soon, but also exciting at the same time. These pics are from a pet shoot that I did over the weekend. 2 golden retrievers at the same time was a very challenging experience, but rewarding to be able to capture some photos that the owners really loved. They were very friendly dogs, and actually behaved better than I had anticipated. Here are my favorite 3 from the shoot.

Shoot w/ Isabelle

Today, I shot with Isabelle. She is a 12 year old girl with a wonderful personality. It was her first time in front of a camera, and she was very nervous. But after a bit she loosened up , and we were able to get some good stuff. She is a beautiful girl, and was so sweet. I'm very happy with the way the shots turned out. I got many good ones, but these are my favorite 3 I think.

The image above is my favorite image from the shoot. I may end up turning this one in for one of my APS's unless I get a shot I like better. But I'm very happy with this one!

Landscape stuff.

These were taken way back at the beginning of they year. There not the greatest shots, but I really enjoy doing landscape photography for personal work, so I wanted to post a few. I can't wait until things get pretty again so that I can get out and do some more.


The shot above was taken for an assignment to show motion. I really loved this one, and my instructors did too! It's a 30 sec exposure and I just love the surreal look of it, and how you kind of have to look twice to figure out what it is.


Can't wait to do more. I really enjoy photographing flowers and waterfalls.

First Glassware shot!

This is the very first glassware I shot in the commercial studio. Way back in Phase I or II. I can't remember when we started working in the studio. This was shot on 4x5 film, and then I scanned it. I love this shot! Too bad I broke one of the glasses, but at least it was after this shot. :]
