Final Portfolio

A portfolio is one’s best work.  And sometimes, it can be hard to decide exactly which photographs you think are your own personal best! I’ve been trying to narrow down which pictures are my own best and also my favorites that I would want to put in my portfolio.  I think I’ve narrowed it down to the best photographs that really showcase my style and skill.

The Ellis Family

 

 

 

Family pictures are always full of fun energy and happiness and this family was no exception.  I have known the Ellis family since our family moved to Utah 8 years ago – I even used to babysit their kids.  Look how big they are now, and each of them are as beautiful and handsome and fun as the last! The personality of each member and this family was genuine and I loved seeing that in each picture. The Ellis’ are a great family that I was happy to be able to photograph!

The Peterson’s – A Wedding

I think that there isn’t anything cooler than following a couple through their engagement and marriage.  Chelsea and Alex have been such a wonderful couple to become friends with and experience their love and relationship firsthand.  They are fun loving and laid back at the same time and the way they interact with each other is so sweet. You can tell how much they love each other and see their personalities in each picture.  I loved this wedding – here is just a small sample of their day.

The Parker’s – A Family

There’s something about the later seasons of the year that makes the family pictures start to roll in.  I have known the Parker family for several years now from nannying their cute kids and it was a treat to be able to photograph them for their family pictures. We went to a few different places, trying a nature and landscape feel first and then going to a spot in Draper, Utah to try a more modern and urban feel with a new building there. I tried using a variety of poses and with the four of them, it was a good way to learn what worked and didn’t work well with their photos.

I tried using a wide aperture for the individual portraits (f/2.5) and had to use a smaller aperture for the portraits of the whole family (f/5.6 – f/7.0).  I learned that keeping a faster shutter speed would keep my images sharper and how important that is with these cute kids! I loved capturing their cute faces – family photography is so much fun and I loved photographing the Parkers!

Bakery Food and Product Photography

The warm feel and smell of fresh bread is enough to make me hungry.  Capturing food and product photography of bakery items and baked goods can be a really fun thing.  I wanted to have a warm feel with the loaves of artisan bread that we used for our shoot. I loved the detail and texture in the grains and even in the crumbs.  The crescent rolls and cupcakes were also fun to photograph and shows the more smooth lines of baked goods.  I tried to give these photos a feel that would make someone want to go to a bakery and eat a loaf of fresh artisan bread by using a wide aperture and nice lighting to compliment.  The last two photos are HDR photos of the loaf of bread.  HDR food photography can show color and texture really well. I love food and product photography!
