• Welcome to my blog!

    I love photography! Pretty cliché I know. There is just so much to learn and explore. So many things to try. But the main reason I love photography is this "Photography is about savoring life at 1/100th of a second." - Marc Riboud

    I am a portrait and wedding photographer based in Cedar City Utah. I also love landscape photography, but every great landscape I encounter, I can't help but think how much better the shot would be if I stuck a person in it.

Andee – Headshots

I love Andee’s red hair, very beautiful. Andee has some dance auditions coming up and needed headshots. She has actually made an appearance on my blog before. She was the summer fairy in the recent Cinderella ballet production I photographed. A very talented dancer. During dance performances, most dancers wear fake eyelashes. Something you didn’t know maybe. Well, Andee doesn’t. She doesn’t need to. Check out those eyelashes.

Stephanie – Headshots

A high key and low key shot of Stephanie. Both were shot on white seamless. The difference is that I didn’t light the background on the second shot and used a clam shell lighting setup. See the lighting diagrams below.

f/3.5 @ 82 mm, 1/250, ISO 200

The second diagram looks a little funny with the two umbrellas on top of each other. Basically, one was up high pointed down and the other was down low pointed up. I shot through a small space between the umbrellas.
