I m currently working on getting a new look for my blog. Hopefully within the next short while I will be back and up and running with some more work and a better looking blog. I know its a mess right now, but don't worry, it will be looking awesome soon. Thanks Carly in advance for all of your hard work and talent. I cant wait to see it finished!

The Harris Family

On our drive back to Utah, Michael and I were able to stop in Derby, Kansas to visit my sister, Tiffani, and her family for a few days. Along with having a great time, I was able to take some family pictures for my sister and a friend of hers. Below are pictures of my sister's family.

{ Kimberly & Ben's Wedding Day }

2009-06-30T16:10:00.001-07:00

Kimberly Jensen & Benjamin Schwartz got married in the LDS Detroit Temple on 06.06.09. It was really bright and sunny before the wedding, but after they came out of the temple it had turned into the perfect day weather wise:) Overcast and not to hot (Lucky me!). Everything went perfectly. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz!

Father & Son

My new sister-in-law Ranell had a beautiful baby boy on June 3rd. She had a scheduled C-Section so I was able to go to the hospital with Fara (my mother-in-law) and Fara's parents (who were in town for Kimberly's wedding). It was fun to see Brent and Ranell prepare for their new baby and then welcome him into the world. Here are a few pictures of Justin on the day of his blessing. (about 2 and a half weeks old)

While taking engagements for Kim and Kevin I couldn't help but take the opportunity to use her shoes. Ever since my final project last Fall I am always on the look out for shoes and great poses and locations. This is a project I plan to add to for years. Here is my most recent addition.

What can I say . . . I love shoes!

A few days before the wedding we went to the Detroit Institute of Art, and surrounding area, to took some bridals with Kimberly and Ben. Here are a few of my favorites:

It's been awhile since I posted some new material. I decided it is time. In what little spare time I have (between working full time, planning a wedding and preparing my portfolio and application to BYU) I managed to find time to get some new photos.

Christmas vacation was wonderful and full of opportunities. I got to go to Michigan with Michael AND make some extra money. I got to take engagements for a friend from high school, family pictures for my sister, and more engagements for my soon-to-be sister-in-law. It was great to get some experience and experiment.

This happy couple just got engaged the day after Christmas. They wanted to have some pictures to send out with the exciting news, so I offered to help. This shoot was a bit last minute, so we only had time for one location.

Finals { part 2 }

For Photographic Lighting I chose to do my final on something I love . . . shoes!

Finals { part 1 }

2008-12-21T08:02:00.000-08:00

For my final in Color I decided to do a project using my grandmother's farm. I wanted to take pictures that would not just serve as a documentary of the farm, but also hold within it the memories we had there. My goal was to treat the photograph's so that they looked as though they were taken years ago. I hope they are not only intriguing to those who have never been on the farm before, but also to those of us who have many memories there.

Title: Hansen Farm
Location: Warren, Utah

Our third project consisted of shooting film, then cross processing it in development. It was fun to be able to shoot film again. It is such a different experience from digital. You are forced to think about everything before you push the button. I forgot how many little details there are. I also got to learn now to scan film into the computer then digitally print them:)

I also had a great time taking the pictures. Petra (a fellow classmate and photographer) and I drove up to Saltair together a few weeks ago to do our project. It was nice to have a friend there. It made the drive and time much more enjoyable. The pictures didn't turn out as I expected (thought I will admit I didn't know what to expect when cross processing) but I thought I captured some good images.

And the next assignment is . . . Mixed Lighting!

It took me a little while to decide what I wanted to photograph for this assignment. After much thought, I chose to photograph the Chef's Table due to its recent significance in my life. (engagement) I ended up loving it!

Our first assignment for class was to pick two fortune cookies then draw two of Itten's Color Contrast Theories out of a hat. We then picked one of the two fortunes and had to capture two pictures using each color theory.

The fortune: "The social scene can be fun today."

Theory: Complementary Contrast

Theory: Light-Dark Contrast (Monochromatic)

Another semester has just begun. As I was looking at my blog the other day, I realized that a lot of the pictures on there weren't necessarily taken by me. So with the new semester in mind, I decided to create a new blog just for my photographs. Most of the pictures will be taken throughout the semester and from this point forward, so be patient. It may take a little bit before I start posting. Enjoy!
