Continuing to love the light at the botanical gardens, at the pond where these gorgeous reeds grow tall and green and the early morning sun hits my subjects just so....with an ethereal glow. Finding this light, and how it wraps itself around people, it is magical and inspired my photography. Now I hope to find a couple hours free in my schedule this weekend to get my girls down there in their fairy costumes.
The right setting, right light, and right attire - all come together to make the images and tell a story. On this particularly wet and overcast morning in August, these three little lovelies photographed beautifully down by the lagoon of the Princess Resort. The lily pads in the stream were particularly enchanting, these girls completely willing to sit still and be captured ;)
Sometimes a tutu and a string of pearls is all that's needed for a 1 year birthday session at home. Hardwood floors are so perfect for pics, and grey walls a fantastic neutral tone. For these images, we never left the dining/living area. This little lady so enchantingly beautiful with her soulful eyes.
Summer never has to be a deterrent to doing portraits. All you need is a well lit home, some solid walls (preferably pastels) and not a lot of clutter.
This family below decided to sell their home and move back to Utah - so their session was to remember their time in Arizona.
See the images below for sweet inspiration.
My greatest hobby is my career, and photography is my greatest hobby. Although a majority of my time is spent photographing people, my initial draw to image capture was documenting my travels. Over the years I developed interests in architectural photography, still lifes, nature and black and white.
Though I have a love of color, and saturate my images with it whenever possible, rendering an image into black and white can completely change one's perception, and the story that the image tells.
This is illustrated in the image of the tree, captured at the Grand Canyon. In color, it is a lifeless tree, devoid of color, juxtaposed with the dramatic colors of the canyon. As a black and white image, it tells a story of time and age, and the dark. The tree has character, life, and breathes drama and mystery.
