painting. on canvas.

2010-11-12T11:40:00.000-08:00

So my dearest second family, the Martin fam, comissioned me to do a painting for their sons Isaiah and Ammon. It took me a coupe of days to decide just what would be perfect for those two funny guys. Here's what I came up with.

This other painting trio was pure inspiriation; I hit that aritistic nirvana bliss in creating the perfect piece for my other mom, Hayley. I love her very much and wanted to leave her with a piece that reflected how she makes me feel.

Larissa, Darling

Larissa Martin has some amazing genetics; she is her mother's daughter. I love this girl; smart, funny and beautiful.

I have a confession to make.
In my color photo class a couple semesters back my professor said DONT DO SUNSETS. Everyone does them, they are super over done.
So everytime there was a beautiful sunset (pretty much every night over the great salt lake!), I would scoff and tell the voice in my head, com'on, you've got to be original and sunsets aren't the way.
Well, Im fighting against it no more, I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the pre-dark light, dusk is my favorite. Its those brilliant colors that get to me.
So, without further ado, I will join the ranks of the un-original and shoot all the lovely sunsets I want.

The Boheiman Dress

2010-09-17T16:37:00.001-07:00

Two weeks ago, I had a meeting after church. I walked outside of the building and was in awe over the golden light touching over the nature park across the way. Lo and behold I dressed my very kindly sister up and made her galavant all over syracuse and west point with me. I think it was worth the time. :)

Jamal

Jamal needed some pics to put his acting portfolio together and I got the honors to shoot him. It was a lot of fun, Jamal is a great friend and model to work with!

Sunday Bethany and I went for a drive up Farmington canyon in her lovely white dress.. Alex came along too with his gun (it would have been too boring for him to tag along without something to entertain him) and these were my favs.

haunting in west layton

2010-03-31T21:26:00.000-07:00

So anyone who's grown up in the layton area, has probably been out to the "haunted house" at the west end of gentile. here's a look around on a thursday morning in February. PS. I thought it was pretty clever of someone to anoint the chicken coop as the whore house.

tuesday night

2010-03-04T08:03:00.000-08:00

so I wanted to do a shoot with a model...though I had none handy at 11pm tuesday night.
I used the next best thing, myself. I wanted to tell a story, place it back a couple of decades about a woman. Though she seems happy in the party life, when she gets home, she is sad and lonely. These shots are of the home scene for her in her lonely apartment room.

Lechtenberg Daughters: Jenna

2010-03-04T07:20:00.000-08:00

This was my first time doing a baby, Jenna is a sweet kid very happy, but didnt like very much being placed on her tummy or away from mom. I want to try working with her again and see what I can do better.

Lechtenberg Daughters: Hannah

2010-03-04T07:09:00.001-08:00

Hannah is my oldest niece, age 3. She's full of energy and getting to that age of independence.

Lechtenberg Daughters: Emma

2010-03-03T21:03:00.000-08:00

Emma, 20 months, was my favorite to work with. She is a natural poser! each time I'd bring the camera back up to my eye, she'd pause, and pose. I needed little directing her to get a great shot, and almost every shot was amazing! she's a doll!

My darling sister was kind enough to let me dress her up and drag her out into the cold one fine January day for a photoshoot at Union Station. it was fun, I learned that I need to work on posing my subject.

A walk around Rexburg, Size 4

2009-07-14T08:19:00.001-07:00

One Sunday afternoon, I decided to go for a walk around Rexburg and finish off my roll of color film. I thought as I walked, gosh I need something to make these shots just a little bit more interesting. I looked down at my feet and found my answer. shot with a Asahi Pentax K1000, my daddy's camera from his college days, using an wide angle lense.

Jacob was actually really great to work with, which was surprising coming from a five year old. Megan is just plain gorgeous and bethany is fun to shoot too! Just a few of my siblings pictures I took.

Primitive

2008-12-02T10:32:00.000-08:00

I looked at a lot of primitive cave art, and I noticed that the artistas go back to basic shapes and ideas. I thought back to my younger brothers and their first drawings, and decided to go off a child's way of drawing.

Attempt 2 at a patriotic theme. Why I didnt do this in the first place is beyond me. Apparently I like to frustrate myself. pretty much I love color!

My Nieces

2008-10-16T11:10:00.000-07:00

Emma Jane: She is about 5 months old now. Emma is getting past the blob stage, she smiles and coos and laughs besides the regular eat, sleep and poop.
Hannah ReNae: she's nearly two years old and is getting potty trained. She is learning lots of words, everytime I see her she's got a new word to say. I think she gets that from her mom.
