Assignment # 7

The BYU baseball team successfully made a exciting comeback defeating the Utah Utes. I was so thrilled to capture the action!

Assignment #5 | Portrait - B&W - Resubmission

After submitting my Black & White photo's for this assignment, I had a very difficult time feeling that I had accomplished my full potential for this assignment. I wanted to display the way my mother's smile makes everyone around her smile. The first submission, I didn't quite capture her full smile. It was posed. So, I followed her down to feed our horses. I was stunned at how many great shots I got of her just doing her thing. It was nearly impossible to chose just one.



Now that is our horse Sissy and my marvelous mother.

I know that a horse probably isn't what you were thinking to qualify for a portrait, but it is a portrait of my horse Tinkerbelle. This picture means so much to me. A few years ago, Tink's mother Ellie (our other horse) was in this exact spot, only The middle pole was not there. Some lightning scared Ellie which made her kick up her legs lodging one of her hooves all the way down in between the two poles. Ellie tugged and tugged, causing the muscles and skin to tear away from her ankle. By the time my mother found her, She had lost too much blood and had to be put down by the vet. Tink stands here almost every time I go see her. I wonder if she remembers; she was there when it happened.

Assignment #5 | Portrait - B&W

While still having camera troubles (I am looking into a decently priced place to get it fixed), I was able to capture moments with two people I love with their laughing smiles.

My incredible Mother

And of course, the long waited self-portrait that I just had to take. Me showing of my "Midget-Size" in front of an enormous door.

Assignment #5 | Portrait - Color

I have been having major camera struggles these past couple weeks. I posted my photo's for this assignment on the due date but just could not let myself leave them up, as I was completely unsatisfied with how they turned out. I started fresh and am much happier with what I shot.

This is Kylee. I was walking around Riverwoods and saw her taking her engagement pictures. I talked with her and her fiance for a little while and found out that they are getting married this Saturday! She is so stunning and was gracious enough to let me photograph her.

This is Austin. I have known him for almost a year now and he has honestly only spoken 5 words to me total. "Good, How are you" and "Bye." I was so excited to be able to catch this image of him ecstatic while watching his cousin playing baseball. This photo is one in a million when it comes to Austin.

Here is my dreaded self-portrait. I had to try taking this many different times. Originally I posted a different one but I ended up liking it better in Black and White so that will come with the next assignment.
