S.M.S. Photo Shoot - Family Pictures, Fall Leaves, Butterfield Canyon

Tonight I did a photo shoot up Butterfield Canyon. If you want some fun fall pictures, you better get up there quickly and early in the evening. The sun sets fast up there. We almost didn't have enough time to take the pictures. I had to turn up my ISO a bit on these because the sun had set. Anyway, they turned out great I think.


I love the way the fall colors pop and surround them. The colors they chose to wear look so great in this setting!


Another fun family pose.


What a cute couple. I also posted a picture of them kissing here on my Flickr account.


After the family pictures were done, we sat and talked, but I kept the camera going. I was able to snap a few fun pictures of the kids.




And finally, here is the sample page. I just love to see the variations and how they change the pictures.

There are a few more pictures on the Flickr account that I didn't post here. Check them out HERE.

J.A.G. Photo Shoot - Part I - Murray Park - Babies, Kids, Family Photography

Here is the first installment of the photo shoot I did yesterday morning at Murray Park.




I love how brother is tenderly kissing his baby sister.


This little girl has amazing eyes, AND her mom knows how to dress her! She is cute!




These two kids are so cute together. They sure do love each other!

And for my favorite....... See below!


Isn't she just adorable? More to come later (assuming I get some time to do some post processing). I just had to post my favorites first!

Enjoy!

D.H.A. Photo Shoot - Murray Park, Family Photos, Kids, Utah Photographer

I finally had some time to do another photo shoot. This one was fun. I love the eyes on this family. They just glow! Not to mention they are such nice people.




This picture, of their daughter, is un-edited and un-processed. Look how beautiful her eyes are naturally! I love this picture! She is so darling.



I love how this picture makes these guys look like they are up to something. Actually, it is quite innocent. I don't think they could ever do anything wrong.



WOW! I love the eyes on this one too!



Isn't he handsome? I love the flower bokeh in the background too!


Finally, here is a sample page. It shows the different styles I can apply to any picture. There are actually ton's more that I could do too, along with any combination or variation of these! Just ask!

Thanks for a fun photo shoot!

S.C.H. Photo Shoot

Here is a teaser from my latest photo shoot...


This guy is so cute! He had so much personality. More to come later!

Memorial Pictures

I finally had a chance to take a look at some of the pictures I took over Memorial weekend.


This picture turned out really fun with some "post editing".


I applied the same techniques to this photo to make it look old fashion.


I love the detail of the burned marshmellow and the fire with this close up.


Look at the flames jumping in the air in this one. It almost looks 3-D.


Lots of fun effects with the flames and the burning wood.

Old Building

Here are three more pictures from our Moab trip. I saw this building and got really excited. It has so much character and personality.


I love how the wood even looks antique.


When I zoomed out, I saw that I was able to capture the motorcycle crowd hanging around their bikes. This added a different element of personality to the picture, along with the old wooden building next door.


This is a picture of the kids in front of that same old building with the white paint coming off. Look at the interesting glass ornaments hanging in the window. I would also like to point out the beautiful wood grain on the windowsill.

More practice with the new lense

I don't have a lot of time to practice with my new lense right now, but here are some shots I got the other day.



Sometimes the kids just strike a pose and tell me to take a picture. This one above was like that.



This one was amazing. The light was coming through the window just right so I could get some "catch lights" in her eyes. She had so much fun changing her pose each time I snapped the shutter.



This one also has the wonderful "catch light" but her fingernails are brighter and more colorful. I just love using natural light. Flashes tend to wash out parts of the picture, but if you can take pictures next to a window with lots of light, it is just perfect. Just adjust the aperture and shoot away!



I just couldn't pass this one up. She had her hands and legs crossed perfectly to dislplay her newly painted nails!



I did a little "Lomo" editing on this photo. It turned out pretty good.



Here is the same picture SOOC (Straight out of camera). I think it turned out pretty good. No editing needed (that is why I tried the Lomo editing to change it to a different style).

Overall this was a fun evening of photography. I hope to have more opportunities like this. Unfortunately since I am working long tax season hours, I may not get to many opportunities like this until after April 15th.

Enjoy!
