PHOTOGRAPHY UNWRAVELED


Ever had the experience where you want to rip your camera apart when you have a blurry picture of your active child? Ever wonder why your subjects sometimes look jaundice? And what the heck is RAW? There is so much to know about photography in order to get the images you want, even if you're a casual shooter taking snapshots of your family and friends, and unfortunately, there's also a lack of simple, easy to understand, and most importantly, FREE resources out there. If you'd like some answers to these, and many more questions, check out my other blog, Photography Unraveled. My goal with this blog is to use my experience from working in a camera store and shooting pictures (some as a hobby, some as a business) to help everyone from the "Soccer Mom" to the "Hobbyist" get the images they've always wanted. Check it out!

Albion Basin is My New Favorite Place

I've lived in Utah since I was eight and have always loved all the awesome hiking trails, campgrounds, and wilderness areas. Growing up, I spent all my time on the mountains in Davis County, but for whatever reason never really was introduced to the great canyons and trails in Salt Lake County and other places. Now that I'm an adult and work down the street from Big Cottonwood Canyon, I'm discovering a whole new world full of photographic opportunities.

I recently discovered that Albion Basin (drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon, past Alta Ski resort until the road ends) comes to life late in July/early August with thousands of colorful wildflowers. It's a short, and mild, one mile hike to Cecret Lake. Just hiking this trail would hardly take me any time at all, but with all the photos waiting to be taken, I spent a good three hours to do the 2 mile roundtrip hike. You can see in the pictures how breathtaking the wildflowers are, and I even missed the peak of the wildflower bloom. I'll head back next Spring a little earlier and hopefully get an even bigger dose of wildflowers.

Brock & Cami's Bridals

I posted some pictures a while ago from Brock and Cami's engagements. I also shot their bridals several months ago but just hadn't taken the time to post any of them (and I've since shot their wedding which I'll post soon).

We shot them at the Garden Park Ward building in downtown Salt Lake. It's an LDS Church building that has beautiful landscaping. It's not common for an LDS church building to have landscaping like this, but for some reason this one does, and they let you shoot photos there for free within certain hours. We also headed over to Temple Square to finish up. The pictures turned out great, and Brock and Cami were awesome to work with. They're really light-hearted and were willing to fully dive into any wacky pose I asked them to:
