Well.. here are a few more of them engagements, i sucked. 

Takin Pictures.

  I woke up at six thirty in the morning to go take pictures with my friend from photography class, Caitlyn. We had to do self portraits. It was not fun at all. I was tired... and to make it worse... It was raining and freezing! After taking pictures of ourselves... I realized that I wanted to take pictures of Cailyn for me to have. She just looked way pretty, her eyes especially! So I told her not to move and ran back to my car to get my digital camera. I ended up getting some neat ones of her even though the taking pictures of myself failed. So I guess ruining my white sneakers with mud and even dog crap... ended up being okay, because it turned out to be a good picture taking day.

Anorexia Nervosa

  A Problem Often Over-Looked.                           

   I did this for a photography assignment.  However, I changed it a little.  The assignment was to create a series of photos that tells a story or sequence.  For the actual assignment, I was using the idea of Bulimia. First photo of the sequence was a picture of my beautiful roommate, Maren, staring in the mirror.. hating her body.. Second photo was a picture of her by the toilet.. hunched over and miserable looking.  Third and final was this image. .. We made her make up look like her eyes had been sunk in.  Didn't really turn out very good... Then had her suck in as much as possible.. which was difficult considering she is actually pretty buff, she works out a ton, so her abs would show. For this actual picture I used a little bit of photoshop to bring out her ribs and to slim down her stomach. Promise. . she's not that disgusting. Maren is a model and she is beautiful.  She is nothing but sweet to me and I appreciate that.  I had an awesome time doing this assignment.  In critique everyone mentioned how.. we all bring up suicide, romance, sex, drugs, etc. in our photos.. but no one has ever touched base with eating disorders.  That is exactly why I decided to create this image.  Even though they consider this generation as an "obese" one, there are still girls out there who have major eating disorders.  We need to acknowledge this.  It's sad that one can acquire such a bad problem.  Girls should focus more on how beautiful they are as a person, not their appearance.  It's an issue that should be talked about and focused on at a young age.. and continued to be focused on.  Everyone is beautiful on the inside and out. 

I took pictures of Samantha for photography class.  I used black and white film, but also took a few digital at the same time.  We had a blast.  She was playin a character ( a rich girl ). 

Engagement Photography

 

So I was just minding my own one day when I got a call from Shelly.  She told me that this girl who knows her friend saw the pictures I did of Shelly and loved them.  She wanted me to do her engagements.  Naturally I was a little freaked out.  I've never done such a thing.  Although scared, I was really excited to try something new.  The girls name is Allyson, she is way nice.  So we planned and executed.  I had a lot of fun doin the photos.  I am glad someone gave me the opportunity to try something like this.  I'm working on them still, but I have a few to put up on here. 

More Pictures

A Day With Shelly

  For Shelly's 20th birthday.. We went out and took pictures.  We went to my favorite spot down by the Great Salt Lake Marina... It's this abandoned building with graffiti all over the walls on the outside and inside.  We also went to the Marina and took some pictures on the beach there. We were out there taking pictures almost all day, at least it felt like it.  We did take some up in Muellar Park Canyon, it's beautiful up there.  I'm only puttin a few of my favorite pictures on here right now.  I haven't even gotten them all done yet.  They are amazing.  We have another photoshoot being planned and I can't wait.  I'm absolutely stoked.
