And you thought I wasn't outdoorsy...

Okay, so if you are a frequent visitor of my blog (or if you know me) you are very aware that I don't often shoot nature or landscapes: I'm simply not outdoorsy enough. Well, a few weeks ago I decided to go a liiiiiittle crazy and go off roading with some friends up in the mountains. It was on a beautiful stormy Utah day and we were literally driving in the CLOUDS. It was one of the most unique experiences of my life. Oh, and the view wasn't too bad either :) The clouds eventually got too thick for photographs as we got higher, but in the end I got what I wanted: fall colors.

Highs and Lows

This week is all about lighting! High key vs. low key. For those of you who don't know what this means... low key is all values at middle grey or lower (so lots of blacks) and high key is exactly the opposite. I am a big high key fan because I think it looks so clean! Thanks so much to my handsome models Robbie Jenkins and Kenny Adams.

Let's get muddy

FINALLY! I have completed another photoshoot I've been dreaming about doing for a while. I've been shooting so much for school and work these past few months that I haven't been doing any shoots for fun. This shoot quickly came together and was all for the enjoyment of taking pictures. Doing a shoot I want to do that doesn't have to fit any criteria or deadline is so liberating. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Props to my phenomenal model Hillary Brown. The mud was FREEZING at 7am and she modeled through it like a pro. Also a loving shout out to Enos Ledezma and Tessa Taylor by art director and assistant on the shoot!
