afton, wy

Recently Nate & I took a drive with his parents down through Star Valley and into Afton, WY. I can definitely see more trips down there in my future; Afton is super-funky and there is a lot of interesting stuff going on between here and there. Some shots:




And a self-portrait:

idaho falls

I love Idaho Falls. It is such a gold mine for a photographer...I usually have to have Nate drive because I can't concentrate on the road once we get to town. Here are some of my favorites from my last trip there:

*whew*

Photo submissions sent, ad uploaded. Now I can't wait to see it it print! I decided to go with a variation of #1; added a bit of color to it and toned down the contact info to a light gray instead of bright white. Thanks to everyone for the feedback!


Now it's on to some restorations that I should have done months ago (sorry Janet!) and a website overhaul. No rest for the wicked, I suppose.

adverts (I'm British today!)

I'm just putting the finishing touches on my ad for A Grand Wedding magazine and thought I would post what I came up with here...it's down to three and I have to decide by Friday.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I'm also currently FTP'ing about 350 Mb worth of images for consideration for publication, so I had better stop clogging up the intertubes with my blogging! Heh, clogging with blogging.

finally done!

Yup, that's right, I've finally finished editing all of my weddings for the summer. The last few proof packets should be coming in tomorrow and the boxes the next day, so pretty soon I'll be able to turn my full obsessiveness to my ad design and layout.

The full set from Emily's wedding is here and I'm so pleased with how everything turned out. I had so much fun shooting and feel like I got some really nice images.

I took a quick trip to Idaho Falls this weekend to do some shooting and shopping...it ended up being more shopping than shooting but hey, sometimes you just gotta shop. Here's one of my favorite shots from an earlier trip to IF:



I'll add the new ones to my IF Flickr set once they get processed. They'll probably sit on the back burner for a bit though - my ad is due to "A Grand Wedding" by the 26th, so I'd better get on it!

costa rica wedding set

I have put the finishing touches on the wedding in Costa Rica and it can be viewed in its entirety here. I'm pretty excited about it, and I love my new slideshow software (thanks to Jonathan for telling me about it!). You can all look forward to a slightly re-designed website once I get some time at home...possibly this weekend but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm still in the midst of working on Andy & Emily's wedding from 9/8 and am very excited with how things are looking so far. It was a gorgeous day and being able to spend the whole day recording the events was wonderful and really gives the photos a good flow.




It was my first chance to shoot a wedding day from beginning to end and I feel like it has made a big difference in how I spent the day and also in how I shot the day. I was able to get more precise but also more relaxed...I'm not explaining myself well but I'll content myself with saying it helped to solidify the fact that I want to do this as a career.
