Off to the Zoo

Went to the zoo with my nephews nieces parents and sister this summer it was a ton of fun! did take a lot of photos just a few but the kids love the camera... here are a few. 

Spring family pictures

So my sister asked if I would take family pictures of her family. She has a blended family with 5 boys 3 of her own and 2 that are her spouses. They are all  nuts. We went to a park and it was almost impossible to get a picture but we managed and got a few! Maybe one day they will calm down enough that I can get a ton of pictures. We did have fun and it was so great hanging out with them again! I have missed my nephews! 

Well  here are a few shots form the day! 

Brian And Jessica Engagements

On March 4th I was given another opportunity to shoot engagement photos. They weren't quite sure what they wanted so I took them to my favorite place to shoot, The Great Salt Lake. We had so much fun and got a lot of great shots....so many they had the hardest time picking what they should do on the invitations, which I was lucky enough to get to put together! :) 

These two are a great couple and so sweet together. And you can see it in the photos. Good luck with everything Jessica and Brian! 

Sooooo

As you can tell I have totally slacked. I got a new job.YEAH! I have just not really been motivated to shoot. I am hoping to be able to catch up on the photos this week. We will see! :) 

With this new job I have been completely wrapped up in trying to figure out what my job actually is. 

Well I hope to be able to caught up! 

Day 29: shoelaces

I have nothing profound to say about shoelaces... who does? Hope you like the photo! 

Day 28: Silhouettes

The Great Salt Lake. To most is just a smelly waste of water. To me it is comfort. solace and a sense of what is important. Every time I am feeling down or lost or stresses I end up at the Lake. Photographing the lake helps me see Utah in a whole new light. It is like being near the ocean for me I could spend all day just looking at it! 

Well I was out at the lake today watching the sunset I managed to snap a few pics.

This is the smoke stacks at Kennecott Copper Mine from across the street. 

Day 27: Horizons

At the Great Salt Lake watching the sunset over the horizon one of the best things. Although I love it out there, so much so that I had my bridals taken on the beach. I hardly ever make it out to watch a sunset. But my new job has allowed new opportunity to go to more places and is only 15 minutes from the lake so I am already half way there. I have a feeling I will be taking in more sunsets on the beach this year. 

Day 26: Time

Time.... such an important part of life. But why? I hate that I have to watch the clock and check the time 500 times a day but we do what we have too! 

Day 25: Sky

Last week was my first week back to work and I get a great view of the sunrise every morning! This is the beautiful sunset Friday morning! 

I saw the color and the snow on the mountains and thought I need to take this picture......thank goodness I had my camera! 

Day 24: Shallow depth of field

This is the best  picture I have taken..... in my eyes anyway! This reminds me of my childhood. 

The weeds fields and the feeling that there is so much space. I love it and long for it.

Day 23:Fill Frame

What a cute nose!!!!! 

Day 22: Button

Vintage buttons, my favorite kind of buttons..... most of these are actually from my great grandma! In fact these have been with me for 15 years and I have yet to find something to do with them except for leave them in a drawer! And I guess take a picture. 

Day 21: Fine

I don't really do a lot of  'fine' art photography, but I want so bad to get more into it. I know it will take a while but I did do a couple of photo shoots. I found it to be the funnest thing. 

I would love to do more of these in time! 

Day 20: Texture

This is my scarf I got it from my husband. I really like it because it is so textured and warm. 

Day 19: Moving target

Went to the Sundance Film Festival this week! It was such a blast we saw a great film, Celeste and Jesse Forever. Can't wait for it to open in the theaters. On the way home Jeff and I stopped to get a picture of the freeway. I have been wanting to go and play with long exposure for a while and I have always wanted to shoot

 the freeway. So I finally found a minute to do it. We found a walkway over the freeway so we went. As we are walking to the walkway I found some ice and went down!!!!! OMG!!! Smacked my head so hard but all I could think was is my camera okay?!?!?!? Lucky it was fine not a scratch! I on the other hand have a huge bump on my head. I am sure I will survive but it was worth it. Got some fun shots and I think they turned out!  

Day 18: Water

I really like the vial look with waterfalls! I know my mom doesn't but I think she is wrong! 

Day 17: electrontics

Electronics..... I have a ton of electronics hanging around but my favorite would have to be my Kindle! I just love it. When I first got it I wasn't sure about it but now I love it so much! Couldn't live with out it! 

Day 16: Reflections

Finding water in winter is usually hard to do however it has been unusually warm this year so most ponds are not frozen! So I was able to find a couple of great reflections! 

Getting back on track

The past two weeks have been absolutely crazy! I found and started a new job! YAY!!!! Then in the process of it all with the stress and everything, I got sick..... headaches and the works. I can't believe it. :( Now trying to find the motivation to shoot as well as work and keep up with my house hold and not want to die is taking all the strength I have. But I am going to try! So here we go starting again and getting back on track! 

Starting to shoot and workout and work... it is gonna be hard but I will do it! 

Day 15: Zippers

Zipper..... I never realized it would be so hard to take a picture of a zipper! 

I tried 9 different times but this is the best I got! :) 

Shoes

My sister had some shoes bedazzled. The artist Sarah De Azevedo does such a great job with the shoes and sells them on Esty - locust of the sea. She is so talented she makes earrings and pins and will Jazz up anything! 

Here is a little look of what the shoes look like
