I know I should probably be posting some Thanksgiving photos, but you know what? I didn’t take any. I don’t think anyone in my family took a single photo on Thanksgiving. So instead I’ll show you some of this fun urban shoot I did this week.

I have been busy editing this week. I’m trying to get all my orders out as soon as possible so I can concentrate on getting ready for Christmas.

Here are a few more cute photos of Baby Tripp.

I have been taking a flash photography course at the University of Utah for the past few weeks. I have had a Speedlite for almost 2 years, but I had no idea how to really use it. I learned quite a bit in the class. Last night was the last class where we got to actually use everything we learned. I brought my background stands and used all of my own equipment. I brought Emma as a model and I got to use the new petti skirt that I got for my birthday. (Thanks Vicky!) It was fun to set everything up myself and see that I can use what I have and get some nice studio pictures. Hopefully I’ll get to do more of it in the future. I’m thinking this winter is a great time to practice!

Here are the photos I took while on our road trip to Boise. There are so many more good ones. I can’t wait to edit them all!

I have been working on a new blog for my photography business for a while now. I finally got it up and running. It still needs to be tweaked a bit, but at least it is functional

Hopefully now I can get back to the original intent of this blog–to post funny stories and memories about my family.

I photographed one of my best friends daughters this week. They were one of the first families I photographed last year when I was just starting out. They came back this week for more. We chose a tough location…the sun was really bright and then gone. Then it got REALLY COLD! I think we still ended up with some nice shots. Here you go Yori!

This photo was very underexposed, but that was really the only big problem. This one was actually pretty easy to correct. I opened it in ACR and increased the brightness and exposure. I adjusted the white balance using the sliders until it looked good to my eye. I increased the clarity just a tiny bit.

Then I opened it in Photoshop CS4 and did a few curves adjustments to fine tune the white balance. I brightened the eyes a bit using MCP Actions eyedoctor. I added a soft light layer at very low opacity and that was it.

Here is my final result:
