This shoot, start to finish, was about 30 minutes. After rescheduling a few times for weather issues we finally just went for it even tho it was still raining. This time of year we just have to take what we can get. We were lucky it wasnt snowing I guess.
So I wanted to post one or two from Jeff and Melissa’s engagement shoot in Park City. I meant to get these up earlier this week but didnt. I am going to try to do a full post soon (when it’s not midnight and my bed isnt calling me).
I have photographer Jessica a few times now. It was so fun to do her engagement photos. I am looking forward to bridal photos and wedding here within the next few months.
Sorry Cody and Nicole, I was trying to focus on you but someone kept stealing the show…
Here is a little sneek peek of Steve and Amy’s engagement photos. Hope everyone has a happy labor day. My hubby and I went on our first date on labor day 1999. We went to La Casita in Springville, then on a hike and later to a drive in movie and watched Sixth Sense. Hmmm…pretty sure we wont be re-creating our first date today. NOW, back to Steve and Amy!
Before I became a photographer, I used to scrapbook. But only months after I would finish a scrapbook I would look back thru it and be so embarrassed at how it looked now. Now that the latest and greatest had come out and everyone else’s scrapbooks looked so much more advanced than mine. I was constantly disappointed that I had put so much time and money into a fad that changed so quickly. Needless to say, I gave up on that little hobby.
But what I learned in that endeavor has carried over to my photography a bit. Last week my work was featured on Utah Bride Blog and the creator and friend of mine gave me the biggest compliment. She said “Her work is classic but yet stylish”. For some reason I was shocked that someone interpreted my work exactly like I hoped it would be.
It is very important to me that my work stay classic. Fads change but a good photograph can be relevant for ages.
On the flipside, it is very important to me that classic does not equal BORING. I work very hard on this. My mind is always churning. Locations. Poses. Angles. Processing. Keeping if fresh without blatantly copying others or sacrificing my vision. Now is the time where I apologize for my early years of photography when my vision was not so clear. I’m sorry for the selective coloring. I’m sorry for the pigeon toed brides with their skirts up. If you are a photographer and you have been around for 5+ years, you know the pose I’m talking about (O:
ANYWAY, enough of my ramblings.
These two laugh all the time. It was refreshing. They are totally in tune with each others sense of humor and it was a blast hanging out with them.
