Temple Square Trip

I took my boys on a train trip to Temple Square yesterday. It was such a fun thing to do!

Day at the Park

 I've started to take full control of manual mode. And I mean FULL control. Not just shutter, ISO, and aperture. I'm controlling white balance too! The next item of business is spot metering, which is currently freaking me out. But I couldn't believe what a difference controlling the white balance made. These pictures would have all been dull because it was completely cloudy, but by manually dialing in the white balance, the came out vibrant! Not only did they look better, but the amount of post processing drastically decreased. I'm a fan.

Moments from Summer Vacation

After an extensive workshop on Day in the Life photography, I decided that this approach is for me. It's genuine way to capture and document moments. I chose to edit them all in black and white to preserve the integrity of the moments by eliminating the distraction of color. I also wanted them to be more of a documentary style. Each photo made me feel something and that's why I loved them. Some are funny, some are sweet, some are happy, and some are just pure love and joy. Hope you enjoy!
