Earlier this summer I had the opportunity to photograph my Brothers family.  We spent a few hours in an alley in Logan Utah.  My goal for this shot was to have the door and brick slightly blurred so it wouldn't detract from Madyson.  I'm pleased with the results.

The weather was cooperating and I was finally able to get out and try my 70-200mm lens for some portraits. My daughter (Britney) was more than happy to pose to show off her new hair style. We only had a few minutes, the sun was setting and I was loosing light fast. I noticed that when the shutter speed would fall below 1/200th second it was difficult to keep everything tack sharp. Even though I'm not 100% pleased with the quality of this portrait due to using a slow shutter I'm still happy with how it turned out.

Kassidy

Today's image is of my niece Kassidy. Thanksgiving not only was spent visiting with my family but gave me an opportunity to take some portraits in my studio. I recently purchased this backdrop at Pictureline in Salt Lake City and rigged up a backdrop stand hanger so I was anxious to give it a try.

This pose was her idea and I have to admit it's my favorite of the set. She let me shoot for about ten minutes and then was ready to play with her cousins.

The setup was very basic. Two softboxes, main light left of camera and the fill light rear and right of camera set to -2 f-stops below the main light.

October Snowman

This is Utah's Education Association (UEA) week, no school October 29th & 30th. With a four day weekend we packed up and headed to Wyoming. We take every opportunity possible to spend time at the family cabin in Star Valley Wyoming. It's a great place to get away from the daily distractions: Television, Telephone, Computer, Work etc. you get the idea. It's a great opportunity for us to play games and just spend quality time together.

My daughter and I gathered up some snow left over from a snowstorm the week prior and made this Snowman Snowchild. With the temperatures in the mid to high 40's this little guy didn't last long on the blacktop driveway.
