Looking for a Photographer?

Are you looking for a Photographer? I may not be the best out there, and still need to learn a lot, but that is why I am offering a photo session for $35.00. This will include a CD of your pictures & your sitting fee. (If you would like to go through me to print your pictures, you will need to pay the additional cost.)

Long Family

I found the best place to take fall photo's... now only if my photography can turn out as beautiful as the leaves... :)

Tough Biker & Senior Pictures

This is my husband's cousin Marina. She worked pretty well infront of the camera but not exactly sure of what to do or where to stand. Understandable. I had a harder time shooting her because she was a little self conscious, she wasn't sure if she wanted to get her pictures taken because of a physical blemish that had appeared. She started to break out of her shell by the time the shoot was coming to an end. As a photographer I need to learn how to make my clients feel comfortable and beautiful no matter what the circumstances are.

These are some of the photo's that she did great in. But I do not like my work. I feel that I need to improve so much! However; my friend Anna (BooLoo Photography) introduced me to a website which has taught me a lot. It brought me back, and is teaching me from step one! Im so excited to shoot on Saturday (Long Family) with these new techniques that I have learned... Tune in for the Long Family photo shoot...

Britney and myself, found it hard to change positions on the bike. There was only so much you can do with a bike. This was shot on 9-26 sorry it is so late updating this...

NAME CHANGE

For everyone out there that checks this blog... it will be changed to blackcrowphotography.blogspot.com. Sorry for all the name changes. Keep checking back for more photo shoots as I grow with my photography.

The Sisters

This spot is in Lehi, this is a photographers hot spot as well. It is hard to find a train track that continues without any extra junk in the picture. It also has lots of color to choose from.

Wheeler Farm Experiences

Wheeler Farm was a good place to shoot because they have a lot of props that are really fun to use. It is definately a photographer's hot spot in the right season. I love the photographs with the sun poking through the trees. One of my favorites.

Different Colors

Model-Britney CreekShe worked really well with the camera. Brought new poses along with personality. This was a fun shoot because she brought more then one outfit, and it worked well.

First Photo shoot ever!

"The Red Hen"- You can tell this was a posed picture. I need to learn to do something with the skin. I wanted her to look natural and soft. Not so much.
"The Look"- I edit this picture in Picasa Photo editing. I blurred the edges of the picture and added more light to the fill light. He was not aware that I was taking pictures of him, so this is a natural pose. LOVE the more natural poses!
"The Gift"- They need to be brightened up a bit with a soft look. They didn't know I was taking a picture, and this picture turned out better then some that were posed.
"Eric's Window"- Eric has a traditional pose, Im not a huge fan of this, but it was the only one that turned out ok. I like the blue on red coloring though. I would like to make his skin look a little more bright, and soft.
"Tip Toes"- I always love a cute feet picture. I made this one sepia because I wanted the antique look to it. Its an alright picture, but wish I would've come from a different angle to get the on going railroad track behind them. Still have lots to learn.
"Orange Sky"-I played around with Picasa photo editing with this photo. I warmed up the colors a bit to bring the orange out. I also tinted the sky with a bit of orange to match the sweater. This photo reminds me of peace.
"The Brown Door"- I like the antique look here, and the mix of brown and red. Again I would like to learn how to make the skin look a little more softer.
"The Blue Bird"- Eric was easier to shoot, but he was still hard to pose. I love the colors in this. Lots of blue between his shirt & jeans, the wall & stairs and the reflection of the sky in the door. I like this picture but would like to learn how to soften the skin. A lot has to do with the lighting but I can't figure it out.
"Blue Birds"- This was my first shoot, Cassidie and Eric were kind enough to let me shoot them. From this shoot I learned that short skirts are not in favor of Photography. It is hard to position the model in a sitting position.
