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 :)

Arachnophobia

Anyone who knows me well is aware of my fear of spiders. I have literally jumped up and down on the couch screaming to my very tolerant boyfriend, "kill it! KILL IT!"

Having said that, I'm also fascinated by spiders, especially their webs. I think that many would agree that while spiders are creepy, their webs are quite beautiful.

The other day I had the perfect opportunity to take some pictures of a spider. I'm not entirely sure what kind it was. I shot it through a glass door in my house, too terrified to open it. I had this irrational fear that if I opened the door, the spider would fly through it and attack me. Unlikely, but you never know.

This morning I got home from my first shift of work, which is when I shot the last picture.
