Family Portraits

I recently photographed the Best family who is a family friend of Eli's family. The grandfather of the family was turning 70, I think, and they wanted to have a family portrait taken as a gift to him. Here is my favorite of all the shots.

LHS iDesign Portrait

For my day job, I work at Sierra College for the Center for Applied Competitive Technologies. One of our projects involves the formation of a new class program at Lincoln High School called "iDesign." The pilot class ends in June and my boss wanted me to photograph the students in their shop. She initially wanted a portrait with all the students in rows, but I suggested a more interactive shot! Here is what I came up with! Each student will receive a copy and we will be making a poster sized image for the classroom. Enjoy!

Manilla Surprise

For my senior portfolio class, we all were given a manilla envelope with either an object or written directions for use to follow in order to create an image. Mine was to photograph myself with every pair of shoes I own!

The reception for the show is tonight from 6-8pm at Camera Arts in Sacramento, 57th and H. The show will be up until February 4, 2008!

Here's my final image!

WPPI

There is a photography convention next March in Las Vegas that I really want to go to! Its the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International convention. It costs about $600 plus the cost of the plane ticket, the hotel and all my food. But I think it would be really beneficial, so we shall see. There is a scholarship that's available that pays for the convention, the plane ticket and the hotel plus a years membership to WPPI. I have until the end of the month to send in my stuff, but I think I can get it submitted in time. We shall see though. It would be nice to win it, but then there's always the next one!

Nevada City Photography Trip

Well, last Saturday we went to Nevada City for our photography field trip. I along with fellow classmates felt that the subject matter was lacking, dull and boring. However, these are the shots that I found interesting enough to turn in for class.
Enjoy!

San Francisco Trip Photographs

Here are some of the shots that I liked from my recent photography trip to San Francisco. Enjoy!

Last night

My friend Morgan is almost 9 months pregnant and I went to visit her last night. I hadn't been to her new apartment before and it was very nice, classy and cozy, very Morgan, if I must say! We had a really good visit and it was fun to spend time with her. She also let me do some pregnancy photographs of her and her baby belly. I think they turned out really nice!
We'll see if I decide to offer those types of photographs when I have my studio...
