The Colemans in Boston

2011-08-11T18:59:00.008-06:00

Becky and Noah came to visit me in Boston recently, and while they were here I took them to my favorite place in the whole city- The Fens Gardens- and took a few pictures for them. It was awesome to have some old friends visit here and get to play tour guide.

Jacob

2011-04-29T16:52:00.003-06:00

Jacob is the little brother of my good friend Jess, and is graduating high school this year. I feel like a grandma saying this, but I remember when he was born. :)

Isla

2011-03-20T18:56:00.003-06:00

Jess and I have known each other since we were not all that much bigger than Isla. And now she has a baby. Super cute Isla.

Jordan & Beca

2011-03-06T18:56:00.012-07:00

My cousin Jordan is stationed in Virginia with the marines, and didn't have enough leave to go home to Idaho for a wedding. So my Idahoan family all came out here, which worked out great for me, so I could do the pictures. :) And they lucked out with the weather - 70 degrees in February, just days before a huge snow storm!

Peru by Holga

2011-01-01T09:51:00.005-07:00

I recently spent a month in Peru volunteering, which is something I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember. The program is called Tinkuy Peru, and everyone should check it out- tinkuyperu.com. I'm hoping to go back soon and take my other cameras.

Weagel Wedding

2010-09-12T19:38:00.006-06:00

Evita's Bridals

2010-08-13T21:58:00.002-06:00

Is she not so pretty?

Beach Trip

2010-07-12T17:31:00.004-06:00

I went to the beach with my family last month, which was a blast. We stayed at a beach house, and my whole family was there. We hadn't all been together in about 3 years. I took my camera to get some nice shots of North Carolina, but I mostly just took pictures of my nieces and nephews. Probably because they're so dang cute. These were a few of my favorites.

Nick

2010-06-09T23:00:00.005-06:00

Nick is a fantastic bass player and wanted some pictures for his website. I've decided shooting musicians is really cool, cause you get a soundtrack for the shoot.

Glass Work

2010-06-01T19:28:00.007-06:00

My friend Noah blows glass and is starting a business doing glass beads and vases and other neat things. He asked me to do pictures of some of his work for his website (still under construction). The shoot was pretty fun- a super ghetto studio at about midnight. You can check out his stuff at noahcolemanart.blogspot.com

Arthur & Evita

2010-05-31T22:57:00.005-06:00

While taking these pictures of my good friends Arthur and Evita, it started snowing. Snowing! On the last day of April. Being totally unprepared for that, it made for an interesting shoot. When will the weird weather end?

Lyndon Age 1

2010-04-04T17:30:00.004-06:00

I love my Holga

2010-03-11T23:10:00.002-07:00

I took these forever ago on my Holga, but just finally developed them. They're up by the mental hospital in Provo.

Laura & Dan

2010-02-28T11:41:00.007-07:00

This was my first ever snow shoot, and it was so pretty. They were total troopers with the weather. They don't even look cold!

SLC temple

2009-12-18T22:20:00.003-07:00

My brother and his wife asked me to photograph the Salt Lake City temple for them for Christmas. I hadn't been to up to see it in a while, and it was so pretty with all the Christmas lights and Nativities everywhere.

Flowers

2009-11-01T19:01:00.002-07:00

My friend Becky and I did the flowers for Jess' wedding. We were really excited with how the bridal bouquet turned out.

Hargiss Wedding

2009-10-30T18:17:00.006-06:00

I got to go home to Maryland to shoot Jess and Michael's wedding. It was lots of fun, but it was absolutely frigid and rainy the whole time. And it proved interesting to take the wedding party pictures when I had to be in them as a bridesmaid. :)

Jessica & Michael

2009-08-21T23:03:00.006-06:00

Jess and I have been best friends forever, and I've decided Michael is pretty cool, too, so obviously I was really glad I got to take their engagement pictures.

Raisins

2009-06-17T15:43:00.004-06:00

This is kind of old from my still life class. I just found it looking through my files and decided to post it. They're yogurt covered raisins.

Gums

2009-06-15T14:33:00.007-06:00

These are from a directed studies I did last semester on the gum bichromate process. It's another historic printing process like the cyanotypes I did a while back.

The Colemans

My kids

2009-05-26T19:17:00.003-06:00

I got to go home and visit my family this past weekend, which was fabulous. While I was there I decided to pull out the camera and take some shots of my niece and nephews.

Heather and Josh

Meghan

2009-04-01T11:39:00.000-06:00

I was looking through my files, and found these images from my fall shoot that I'd considered using for my seasons final, and thought I'd post them, as well.

Becky & Noah

2009-03-29T16:10:00.002-06:00

Becky is one of my best friends, and we grew up together. It's been fun getting to know Noah and to take their engagements. Also, they're two of the craziest people I know, so doing anything with them is exciting.

Lyndon

2009-03-12T13:05:00.002-06:00

My good friends Crystal and Adam had a baby, and I got to shoot my first infant.

Rachael & Matt

Seasons

2008-12-14T16:27:00.001-07:00

These were for my location lighting class final. I chose to do a series of portraits representing the four seasons.

Another Marshmallow (or 5)

2008-12-14T16:09:00.000-07:00

Maestro's

2008-11-20T16:01:00.000-07:00

One of my assignments this semester was to photograph a business, and I picked Maestro's gelato on Center Street. Here's a few I've edited so far.

Marshmallows

2008-11-20T15:40:00.000-07:00

I've been working on a project of marshmallows for my fine art class. The idea came from the fact that the best photos of a subject don't usually come the first time you photograph it because it takes a while to be able to capture its "essence." I decided to shoot one object for a whole semester and see what I could come up with. I picked marshmallows because they aren't really that exciting looking, and I wanted to challenge myself with a difficult subject. It was definitely difficult, but I'm pretty happy with these ones.

More Cyanotypes

2008-11-08T10:57:00.000-07:00

Harley

2008-10-29T15:10:00.000-06:00

My location lighting class has been working on a project of the Harley Davidson store up in Lindon. It was an awesome opportunity to see what it's like to shoot a business.

Kids

2008-09-27T10:20:00.000-06:00

These kids' grandma lives in my stake back home, and she wanted some pictures of them while they were in town. I think they're some of the cutest kids, and they loved cheesing it for the camera. :)

Cyanotypes

2008-09-25T11:06:00.002-06:00

These are from an alternative photographic processes class where I studied cyanotypes. I love this process, and it got me back in the darkroom. I had forgotten how much I love working there. For this project I shot all at night. It was my first foray into the world of night photography, which I realized I really enjoy.

Spain

2008-09-18T16:16:00.000-06:00

I went on a study abroad a year ago. Here's a few of the images.

2008-09-17T16:02:00.011-06:00

This was an experiment with lighting from my illustration/still life class. It's called "impossible lighting."

Just For Fun

2008-09-17T16:02:00.010-06:00

More stuff with Rubi.

Rubi stuff

2008-09-17T16:02:00.009-06:00

I have this friend Rubi who does hair and make-up, and she asked me to help her with some projects. It was really different from the kind of stuff I normally shoot, but it was a good challenge, and I think I learned a lot about lighting. It was cool to work together and see what kinds of ideas she had. Some of these are pretty old, but I thought I'd lump them all together.

Nature

2008-09-17T16:02:00.008-06:00

I took a nature photography class this summer, and these were a few of my favorites.

Jayme

2008-09-17T16:02:00.007-06:00

My ridiculously cute niece Jayme!

Larry & Wendy

2008-09-17T16:02:00.006-06:00

My brother Larry got married this past October to Wendy, who is super awesome. We're all thrilled to have her in the family.

Caitlin & Jirik

Jill & Ben

Morocco

2008-09-17T16:02:00.003-06:00

My dad and I got to spend some quality time together on a trip to Morocco last summer. It was the first time I had ever done any traveling overseas with family, so it was a pretty cool experience.

Ashley

2008-09-17T16:02:00.002-06:00

I got the chance to photograph my lovely roommate from my study abroad in Spain. She's so cute and we had a lot of fun.

monochromatic series

2008-09-17T16:02:00.000-06:00

This was one of my very favorite projects. I absolutely loved planning the shoots, and I'm really happy with how they came out. I love the different moods different colors convey.
