Alice in Wonderland: Alice

I have a secret plan! That plan is to do not just a few shoots, but a whole collection of Alice in Wonderland inspired photos. This is the first of (hopefully!) many more :)

Here is my little Alice, Amanda :) 

Self portraits, take one.

This is one of the scariest things I've ever done as a photographer! Yep, scarier than laying in the dirt or even standing on a ledge! I'm totally comfortable and relaxed at my rightful place, behind the camera. Being in front of it is a whole different ballpark! Having said all that, I'm really happy with how they turned out and I'm looking forward to doing this more often.

Squirrel!

I saw this little guy on my deck a few mornings ago. Isn't he/she cute??

Sunset in October

For pictures like this, I really want to get a "super zoomy" lens, but for now I have to work with what I have.

Anyway, these were taken last night. I want to get better at sunset photography. Definitely something to work on!

Elder Severance

My friend Tim is leaving today to go on a two year mission trip in Brazil for The Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-day Saints. I'm so proud of him!

The Evil Queen and the Magic Crow

This year I decided to celebrate Halloween in a different way. I'm doing shoots that tell a story. I'm also going to offer this as an option for clients.

I'm no writer, so I'll just give you the summery of what my little story is about.

My friend, Krissy is playing the role of the Evil queen in search of a crow with magical powers. When she finds the crow, she will do everything in her power to keep it safe. That's where the story ends for now. I'm allowing my imagination to fill in the rest.

Dabbling in the "vintage look"

I didn't go all the way with this shoot. I just wanted a slightly vintage look. I think that Mary almost looks like a little 50's housewife, and I love that! Here they are :)
