My Beautiful Sister

While Mel was here I convinced her to model for me.  I am so glad she did it!  Look at how gorgeous she is:



Darren and Aly Engagement Video

My brother and I recently shot engagements together for the first time.  Go check out the engagement video he made:

I finally finished the rest of Baby Jacob's pictures!  Here's the cutie:




Missing

Right now I'm missing this girl:



Friends of Allie

The same day of "Our Typical Morning" photo shoot, I was able to play around with that screen/room divider and take some pictures of Allie's friends.  Elle was first:



Finally Finished...Almost


I am finally finished with my apartment...kinda. I figured I can take pictures of what I am mostly done with first, and keep working on the rest.

Baby Kaden

Remember how I said I would post LOTS more pics of cute little Kaden?  First some pics of the cute parents:

    

Babies Babies Babies!

Yesterday Trey, Allie, and I drove the canyon loop from Salt Lake to Orem to Heber and back to Salt Lake. Obviously the reason had something to do with babies...




First I got to stop by Ceci's baby shower in Orem while Trey and Allie played at a park. It was fun to see Crystal and meet some of Ceci's friends. My mom got Ceci this nursing cover. I really want one because I think it is so pretty...Don't you think so?



Experimenting Part 2

After Allie had a much needed nap I decided to play around with Christmas lights and a heart-shaped filter (homemade with paper and tape.)

I liked the lights in Allie's eye in this first one.


Experimenting

After the lighting photowalk, I started thinking about ways that I could create my own "studio looks" without actually having a studio.


The first thing I tried was using a backdrop with natural (outside) light.


Ceci Maternity

Sunday after church we threw a surprise party for my little brother. We had all the cousins over and ate dinner and cake and played games. Ceci and Steven came a little early so I could take some maternity pics - aren't I lucky?!


Stanley Ford 1940-2010

On Saturday we attended Grandpa Ford's funeral services. He passed away last Sunday after a 2 year battle of pancreatic cancer.


Studio Lighting Photowalk



Last Saturday Adrian and I went to a Photowalk on Studio Lighting together in Draper.

I mostly use natural light when I shoot, so this was all pretty new to me.

I think I learned a lot about my style as a photographer, and it also opened my eyes to all the techniques in studio lighting.

I only took a few shots at each station...that being said, here is what I ended up with:




The Tuttle Family


We drove down to St. George to see some of our very best friends, Tad and Candice, this weekend. These guys are like family to us, and we get asked all the time who is related when we are together.

Allie's First Snow



Okay, so technically this wasn't Allie's "first snow," but it was the first time she had the experience of touching and playing in snow.
