Kylie and Preston engagements

engaThis Tuesday I had a great time at Trapper's loop and 25th street taking these engagement pictures of Preston and Kylie! I've known Kylie my entire life and I'm so excited for her to be getting married! It's fun getting to be a part of the big event it by taking these pictures :) Enjoy!

I kinda posted a lot because I love so many of them! And isn't Kylie just gorgeous?

Justin and Courtney engagements Sneak Peak

Some of the lovely shots I took of Justin and Courtney today at Oak Lawn Park in North Ogden. Beautiful location, beautiful couple!

A picture taking adventure with Aimee!

Since Aimee likes to takes pictures, and I like to take pictures; we decided to take pictures together! :D We were going to go to Eccles park because the buildings their are so cool looking and it's such a pretty place. But we after like 40 minutes of trying to find the place we gave up and walked around the trails above Weber State. It'd be prettier in late summer but hey, it was fun :)

a cool path.

Leading lines makes for cool pictures!

Okay the sky wasn't actually this cool looking. I changed the color :) But look at cool it makes the picture look!

Marty

Pets

Just some cute shots I took of my cat, Marty :)

A drive in the country

Here are some pretty Rural landscapes shots I took while during my family's trip to Bear Lake.

Nipper Cat.

I got bored yesterday and decided to do a random photo shoot with my cat! Believe me, if your cat was as cute as mine, you'd want to take some pictures as well :)
I took all of these with my 50 mm prime lens. I love the depth of field it creates!

Isn't he as handsome cat? He's also extremely naughty, hates being held and beats up our other cat. Still, ya gotta love him :)

Magical Moab!

A couple weeks ago I went on a trip to Moab with my LDS singles ward and got some lovely shots :) It was really neat, because most of the time we were there it rained non stop. But when we started hiking, the rain would stop and we were able to see our destination clearly!
It was pretty easy to get good shots in Moab because everything was just so beautiful! But I'm going to share some tips along with these pictures.
Well, enjoy! :)

Isn't this cool? It looks like a train track straight out of a Western film!

For this shot, I got down on my stomache to get the angle just right.

A pretty waterfall we passed by on one of our hikes. I was trying to make the water look soft and milky and it didn't turn out too bad. I used tv mode and used a shutter speed of 1/15.

Landscape Arch. My advice for taking good landscapes is to master manual mode on your camera! There's just 2 basic things you need to remember when using this mode: In dim light, use a low f stop number and a high ISO; in bright light, use a high f stop number and a low ISO. Not much to it! Just adjust these numbers until your picture turns out satisfactory :) I'd also recommending going to your exposure comp. (It's in the middle part of the screen) and move the dial to the right to create some contrast. This will make the color a lot richer. If you master this mode, you can take some stunning shots that will only need minimal (if any) editing!

Another cool desert plant.

For good macro photos, AV mode is your friend! :D You simply use a small f stop number like 5.6, turn off your flash, and adjust the ISO as necessary.

Well I hope you've enjoyed my shots from Moab!
