Rachel #2

Since I am so obsessed with this session I couldn't pick just a few images to share so.... here are some more, that I just love!

Rachel

I have a special place in my heart for this chick.... probably because she is one of my dear friend’s daughter and she is one of the sweetest girls I know! She is senior class president, cross country rock star and downright hilarious! So, when her senior session came around I was so excited! She totally trusted me to do whatever, which is so AWESOME! She started the day off by getting her hair and makeup down by the VERY talented Jessica Nelson of Jessica Nelson Makeup Artistry. Side note if you don't know who she is you need to...right now! I have worked with Jessica a handful of times and she never fails. Honestly she killed it! After that we headed to the studio, then strolled down main

Barker Family + 1

I adore this little family! They have been family friends for a long time. So, when Alyssa asked me to take family pictures I was super excited! Their little one is about 12 hours older then my gator baby and just as sassy....and I love it! She going to be big sister soon and her excited was adorable! Made me baby hungry for just a brief sec. :) I can't wait to meet the new little one!

Fremont High

I got to go down to Fremont High School and photograph senior night for their football team. It was cold, wet and muddy but so much fun! They killed Clearfield 43 to 0! Also big shout out to my cousin #9 for being a beast on the field!

Kennedy

First off can we just take a moment and recognize I have now blogged two days in a row!!! WOOP! WOOP! #killingit Thank you...ok now onto the magic that happened last night! So Wednesday nights for me mean I get to hang with the cool kids of the Cache Valley Photographers Club! (side note: I am roughly the youngest in the group so technically they aren't really kids but...that doesn't matter, we act like kids when we are together and have a BLAST) Last night we meet at the Cache Connection Studio in North Logan and practiced a setup to do silhouettes with studio lights. I got the idea from Lindsay Adler's book Creative 52, which is pure gold and so AMAZING! But in there she has 52 challenges

Black Light!

One of the cool things about being part of the Cache Valley Photographers Club is we do EPIC things! Like....have John Poppleton, world famous artist and photographer, come and share his amazing talent with us! You can check out more of his work here, https://www.facebook.com/JohnPoppletonUVArt/. He paints all of this clients and then photographs his work under black light. It really is incredible! So for the club he painted two models (who were both perfect, HUGE thanks to Raquel & Sloan) faces and setup his lights and let us capture his work. My best friend got to be one of the models which made the whole thing even cooler! Check it out!
