Fall-ing

Thankfully the weather has been pretty warm and allowed me to get a few more outdoor shoots in with the beautiful fall leaves around. Last week I photographed Gabby at Wheeler Farm. She is so cute and made for a perfect model (Cute little girl pictured below). 

Also, I was able to photograph one of my best friends, Kjori. Every once in a while I make time to just do some shooting for myself and Kjori is always kind to volunteer. We were inspired once again by our favorite musician, Tori Amos. This time there wasn't anything in particular that we were aspiring to. I was just trying to capture the beautiful scenery and crete some unique imagery. I have just begun to go through the shoot, but here are some of my favorites so far. I will be making a slideshow in the coming weeks that will feature more of the images. 

So we will be starting to build a new set any day now that will feature some pretty wall moulding, a chandelier, hardwood flooring, and hopefully a cool antique couch. I've been searching for just the right couch for some time now so hopefully I'll find one soon. The nice thing about this set is it will give us some variety in the studio from our standard backdrops. I was originally thinking of painting it 2 shades of bright blue, but I think I may actually go with some different shades of white and cream to ensure that it can go with anything. We hope to have this done in 2-3 weeks time to accommodate all of our winter studio shoots. 

Malessa & Ivan Downtown

This week we had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Malessa and Ivan for their engagement portraits. We explored a few locations in downtown Salt Lake and had a great time. They were a fun couple to work with. We also got a chance to try out our new Radiopoppers. These are special units that we can attach to multiple flashes to make them all "pop" at the same time. Thus giving me excellent control over my lighting in any situation. This new system will be invaluable for indoor weddings and events, but are also great to use outdoors when just a pop of sun is needed to highlight hair or larger groups. Below are a few of my favorite portraits from the session.
