Photo 101wk1 Homework

Here are a few shots from my homework from last week. We learned about framing, lines, and capturing motion. I really learned a lot. It is a little harder for me because I am the only one using film. So I can just take a look at what I have done and immediately correct it. I think I did a pretty good job.

I should have cropped this one in just a little bit more.

I cut Presley's chin off in this one. Whoops.

I love that her tongue is hanging out. Boy does this girl like to run.

I really love this moment.

This Week

Natalie Norton extended a challenge this week. The premise it to create a to do list this week and hold yourself accountable. If you go to her blog you can enter your to do list in her comment box and she will also hold you accountable as well. So here is the to do list that I have com up with. I wanted to start out small and work up week after week;

To Do List:
1. Go to photography class
2. Complete assignments for last week and this week (for photography class)
3. Do laundry
4. Clean house
5. Get Presley some summer clothes
6. Make appointment to get the Internet at my house
7. Finish painting my desk
8. Exercise

So there it is. I will be checking off as many items as I can as soon as I can. Good luck to me!

Here She Comes!

Any one is need of rockn' family pics? Well if you are in Ca or UT my good friend Natalie Norton will be in town (from good old Hawaii) from the end of May to the end of June. You really need to check out her blog pics and kicks. Her blog is one of my favs. If you want more info on a sitting click here. She is filling up fast so act soon!!!

All the Cool People Do It!

Can I tell you that I really like the way blogs all connect us together. I want to tell a little story about how I found out about a photography class that I signed up for given by Nicole Hill (of a little sussy). I found her thru my friend Natalie Norton (you should check out her amazing and informative blog) who I met at BYUH. While browsing her blog I found at link to her sister in law Heather (who I also new from BYUH), where I found the link the Nicole. While checking out her blog is saw she offered classes and then I noticed that her big sis is Natalie Hill. Well I went to high school with Natalie and we have some mutual friends. It is funny how we are all connected. We could all probably play six degrees of separation with each other. I love it!

So I had my first class last night and I am super excited about the homework. And don't worry of course you will see the assignments. Like you had any choice (insert evil laughter). I already have ideas floating around just waiting to get out.

A Few Pics

Here are a few pics (by Presley) of the tulip festival. There are more to come.

After work I am off to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. I have always admired the festivals in Holland and I am super excited to have one here. I will be armed with my camera. I hope I can do these beauties justice!

For Taylor

Here are the more of the pictures my sis let me take of her kids. It was good to get some more practice with wiggly little ones. But we got some really cute ones.
