my walk home

today i arrived at my portrait photography class to find out it was canceled(huzzah!) so what did i do? the only natural thing...i went to a class with my friend olivia...which i am not enrolled in. i'm nerdy like that. when i came out from it the sun was beginning to set and a brilliant amber glow led me home. while walking home the cherry tree which i have passed many times on my walks home was being kissed by the amber glow. on past walks home when seeing this, i was cameraless...but today i had my camera with me(you know cuz i thought i had class). while on my walk home i took pictures of the trees that led me there.










good thing class was cancelled.
good thing i had my camera.
good thing i went to class with olivia, i would have missed the glow.

portraits nineteen

kaitlin & joslin
this could very well be one of my favorite shoots if not my favorite...okay probably my favorite. but this one comes close. this past weekend i went to visit my friends kaitlin and joslin(who are sisters) in provo utah. traditionally we have photo shoots when i visit and this time i needed them to model for my portrait class assignment. this assignment focused on location and we were given a list of different locations to find and focus on.
~ a residential area
~ 2 public park related areas
~ an area within 30 feet from my front door
~ an area that is no more than 6 ft square
~ a vista(large open) area
~ two urban decay

naturally, i took more photos and found more locations then needed for the assignment.
you can find a couple others here.
i would like to add, i love being a photographer. i have a lot to learn, i love developing myself, improving and finding my own aesthetic.
please click on the photos to see them larger, they are better that way.
enjoy.
























ps. some images are a tad pixely because i screen shot these photographs so they were smaller. maybe you didn't notice and maybe you don't even know what that means.
