Then & Now

It's so interesting and fun to go back through old photos.  Not just from when you were younger, you know, the ones others took of you.  As a photographer, it's fun to look back to the past and see how much you've improved.  Take a peek.  I began shooting photos back in July of 2013 and it's been pretty close to a year...

Holy moly! I know... those eyes! (and obviously this is a sexier shoot) I did manage to get some pretty decent skin tone for not knowing anything about lighting, ISO, f stop... all that jazz.   This was shot in my baby sister's apartment with both our dogs lying on the floor and neighbors probably trying to take a peek. That is, until we closed the blinds. 

And this was shot back right before my son was born (around October) but edited just last week.  Notice her eyes? Not quite as crazy.  You gotta find balance in editing! I am still proud of the lighting and framing though.  All good things happen when we have a little patience. And with a little practice. 

Stay tuned! I'll be editing some shots of my husband and doing another Now & Then.

Until then, stay inspired! 

Beauty

Once in awhile, if I haven't done a new shoot, I go back through other past photoshoots and find something I love. Something... I may have missed.

Here is one of the wonderful Lacey, an aerialist located in Ogden, UT.  Quite stunning, isn't she? Theres a post a few months back with more of her... do wander around a bit.

Workout Motivation.... Perhaps?

Sure, I used to work out a lot. And when I say a lot... I mean A LOT. Sometimes twice a day! Yep. Call me crazy, I feel like I was.  Anyway this isn't about me, it's about these fine ladies and gentlemen that also go all crazy in the gym.

Meet Sammy.  An NPC Physique competitor who is sponsored by Warrior Fuel.

On this fine day I was also blessed to take beautiful photos of the extremely kind and driven Jessica.

The shoot was wonderful and was put together by Heather Giatras and photos were taken at the The Gym at Farmington Station (really, quite a fun gym and very clean!).

Stay tuned, I also shot some very stunning bikini competitors for their first time (well, mine too I suppose) the day prior to their first ever competition. 

PS- I'm working on becoming more consistent with content now that my little angel boy is more workable... it only took 7 months!

Lacey- A Glamour Shoot

This gal is an absolute joy to work with and she belongs in front of a camera!  Her talents are endless, as she also does the crazy acrobat silk training.

Please, enjoy!

And two variations of our final… just beautiful!

Brittany Maternity

Every maternity session is special, but this one was special for a few extra reasons.  First, I myself was about two weeks away from giving birth, next, this sweet gal is an old client and sweet friend.  Lastly, this was my first ever maternity session and I am so pleased with what we were able to capture. So many sweet emotions!

What a gift pregnancy is! Sure, it's hard and it sucks while you're pregnant, but the work is worth it!
