Class Week 3: Conceptural Contrast/Decisive Moment

This week we were challenged to seek out opportunities for conceptual contrast along with finding the rare moments that is a split second. The first set of pictures are the conceptual contrast. This is contrast of subject elements within the picture. It was hard for me to choose my favorite pictures.
Big vs. Little (my cute husband with our adorable niece)



Agricultural vs. Rural(it's hard to see but behind this field plows moving dirt to make way for more houses)

The decisive moment is that rare moment; which I have to learn to be more patient about waiting for. I have to admit that this was a challenge for me, I usually like to snap alot of images and hope to capture these emotional moments. But I came to learn that when I wait, something magical happens! Here is my husband, Josh, and our niece, Hadley, playing together when I caught this:

Class Week 2: Point of View & Less is More

This weeks homework was a creative challenge for me. Not only did I take pictures how I normally would but I had to come up with 20 different perspective of what I was taking pictures of. Even though I had difficult moments, I love how it pushed me out of my comfort zone and got the pictures that I did! Here is the my first initial reaction shot and a few of my favorite perspective:

Class Week 1: Character Details/Conflict

Sorry for not posting anything for months! My computer has been hit twice by viruses and has been away getting fixed. Worst of all, my SD card decided to only be read by the sick computer and no others. But it's back now and working better then ever!

I'm taking an online photography class 'Lifestyle: Telling the Story'. Here are some of the fun pictures of my niece Hadley along with her toys enjoying her element:

Heather & Evan

The first time I met this couple was at their photo shoot. But just like everyone, it didn't take long for me to love this couple- they are gorgeous, super down to earth and were SO much fun to shoot!

Workshop

I took a workshop from another local photographer who I just absolutely adore. This was the first time I took pictures along with other photographers. At first it was a little awkward trying to work around each other but they all had amazing ideas and would catch things that I wouldn't see. I had so much fun with the models and other photographers that I am excited to do more workshops!

Fraidenburg Family

This is my sister's family and I always love taking their pictures! Here are their family, Hadley's 1 year old along with couple pictures of John and Tina; Enjoy!
