Morgan’s Newborn pictures
A few weeks ago we were able to take newborn pictures of Morgan. She did a great job and was really easy going. She slept most of the time even though we were pushing her in all kinds of different positions. We had a great time, and there are some really cute pictures of her. Enjoy.
Malaina Graduation
Once again it has been a long time between posts. I have a bunch I need to make, lets see if I can find the time to post them all.
The first one is a recent graduate from BYU. The day was a very rainy day and it appeared that we were going to have to postpone our photo shoot. But just about 1 hour before the shoot, the sun came out and the clouds started to move away. We jumped on the turn of good weather and decided to head up to BYU campus for our shoot.
Here are a few of my favorite ones from the shoot. She plays the guitar and brought it along for some of the pictures. I love when clients bring props, it makes for some great shots.
I loved the green background with her brown eyes.
Sage’s Senior Pictures
My last photo shoot of the year 12/31/09 was Sage’s senior pictures. Sage did a great job posing for these pictures while toughing it out in the freezing temperature. It was a pretty chilly day, plus the alley’s that we shot the pictures in were a little breezy. We went downtown Salt Lake City for these shots. I had a few alley’s picked out ahead of time and we hit 3 of them. The fun part about this location is the different style pictures you can get. One of the locations they change the graffiti often so you never know what you are going to get until you get there.
It is funny to see the faces of the people you bring to some of these locations. They don’t look like anything great, but the pictures usually turn out good. One thing that I have learned about photos is, less is more. Rather than looking for a location that has it all, often it is the location that doesn’t have too many distractions, has cool patterns and older textures. Keeping the images simple and less distracting will often bring the best photos.
This first picture is one of my favorites from the shoot. There actually is a lot that I love, but a few things I like about this one. I like the simple small smile that she is giving. Her legs are positioned which gives her good lines as well as shows off some fun graffiti on the window. I did a little post processing with this image. I added a texture to it, where you can see it showing up in the window and some on the bricks behind Sage.
Here is another picture in the same location. It has a cross processing effect applied to it. I am a fan of this type of look. I like the muted colors and the fashion look.
Next we moved to our second location. This location is an alley with a graffiti wall. This graffiti is what gets changed every so often. It was a fun location, I love how the colors came out in this first photo.
The final location for our shoot was another alley. This time it was a staircase on the back of a building. I love the leading lines that it brings to the pictures.
I hope you enjoyed these images. If you would like to see more from this shoot, they can be found at http://stowell.smugmug.com/Portraits/Sage-Lewis
Parker Family
Ok, I am way behind on posting pictures from recent photo shoots. I have had a couple of very busy weeks with pictures, so I am just going to post a few as I get some time.
Here is a couple pictures of the Parker family that I took a few weeks ago. We went to the Flow-serve park in Springville, this location is very good because of all the shade and beautiful landscape that they have.
Check out these first two pictures of their youngest daughter. Isn’t she a cute little girl!
Other pictures include the full family and other brothers and sisters.
DHS – Cheerleader Fire Truck Shoot
My friend has a 1953 GMC firetruck(thanks Casey for letting me know what year). What a great truck to get pictures with. The Delta High School cheerleaders had a photo shoot for the yearly calendar that the school produces.
They were very good sports to drive to Lynndyl and jump on the truck which was hot in some places. They even helped push the truck into the shade when it wouldn’t start to get pictures of the girls on the back.
The DHS cheer page can be view by clicking here. From this page you can go to the gallery to view and purchase prints.
