Point of Vue-Saltair

Shaun with Point of Vue photography and Rebekah of Kolor Me Beautiful (makeup/hair) were fantastic to work with.  She also models and is wonderful at giving direction and knowing which features work the best for each person.  I had already committed to this shoot beforehand...and didn't know until last minute that they wanted bikini shots.  

Ugh!  I didn't feel ready to this quite yet and had turned down several other bikini shoots.   There was only one other model and I couldn't necessarily say no and I did need them for my port.  I am happy that I did it though (although I did have to run out and buy a bathing suit just for this shoot-thanks Target!) it wasn't so bad after all, and they made me feel extremely comfortable.  

{The only photos that are touched up are the ones with his logo....still awaiting the rest}

JPRasmussen Photography

I have been really lucky to work with such professional people.  I've yet to work with someone that I would not work with again.  Jeremy and I met again today to discuss some future shoots and go through the below shoot again for some touchups and more photoshop work.  He does amazing landscape/nature shots as well as some insane fairy themed work which hopefully I will be involved in next go around. 

 Photographers and their websites are listed under "Credits".  Check them out!

Fern Photography

After a failed attempt to shoot at a reception hall in West Jordan (the MUA-or makeup artist had a some family members in critical condition after a car accident), and then the reception hall was booked for some time-Rachelle, Ty's mom saved the day by allowing us to shoot at their home.  It is the perfect spot for elegant photos, and I'm so glad it ended up turning out that way.  These are the only ones he has edited so far and  still awaiting the rest.

2nd Place!

Here is a short clip of our runway show that showed up on YouTube already.  I'm sure there are better ones out there but, this is all I have for now.  I'm the second model out with the doll-face and long brown hair.  

My stylists, Matt and Ashlee were amazing--the top piece and balls were made out of styrofoam and I had only a couple hair extensions to cover the bare spots.  Other than that, the whole top is my own hair.  We also had a body painter for all the girls...my arms, neck and face were sprayed with black and orange paint.  

We were positive that we won first place after winning for crowd participation.  The club started screaming for JaggedEdge...but we didn't!  We all felt a little ripped off-but hey, we had a ton of fun and everyone will be getting photos for their portfolios as well as $100 for cut and colors at the salon.  

Sneak Peek...(Kristy Lee Photography)

I love how every photographer and their style is completely different...you never know what you're going to get.  I worked with Kristy Lee Photography in Salt Lake last weekend at a "secret" location that was pretty beautiful.  She was really kicked back and even had a couple friends join to watch, and enjoy the view.  She's working on a new photoshop technique this week to work on the rest of the shoot so I'm waiting on the rest...

I can't wait to get my camera!! I'm learning a ton of stuff and the camera I want is comparable, if not better than the ones used at all of my shoots.  I'm learning that lighting is pretty much everything-any decent camera will be able to take stellar photographs.  Ty also got me all the photoshop tutorials I need to brush up and get good at my skills so I will be ready when it comes time to take on that new hobby.  I'm so excited...I had the best shoot on Sunday and Monday with a couple who is a photographer, and both model/MUA (makeup artist) and they offered to have me come take photos with them when I get my camera.  The lights they have cost over 3 grand...wow-what an investment-so I'd love to take them up on their offer and learn some new stuff without having to fork over that much money or rent the equipment myself.  

Landscape Portraits

I received a package yesterday with these photos from the rest of the shoot.   He was really pleased with the way everything turned out and booked me again for next Monday.  He has some new ideas that we are going to try and I'm looking forward to how they are going to turn out!

I don't know what's wrong with me but I feel as though I'm repeating myself. If I already mentioned this in another post forgive me!

Yay for technology! Ty (my husband Ty) and I got my dad a flat-screen monitor for his computer for Father's Day. I say flat screen, because his was so old mind you...(he's guessing it's over 12-15 years old) that it was curved!!! So old that you can see each pixel without even pressing your nose right up to it, the colors are indistinguishable, and it actually gives everyone headaches because it's such a dinosaur. I can't believe I didn't think of it before!

Anyways, I'm mentioning this because my parents are FINALLY checking our blog-whereas before you couldn't even see a thing on that screen....and my family in Wisconsin are checking too. Mondlock Clan I miss and love you guys!

This makes me happy! Here are more photos from my shoot last week that I promised you...
