Education...

I get asked alot what I do to get my education. One of the coolest things out there for photographers is Photovision. yes,.. Photovision! I have been subscibing for a couple of years now and I love to watch the videos on my own time. Just to see how other photographers do what they do is awesome!

Do you want to see leading image makers in their actual working environment? Do you want to see them shooting, editing, marketing and selling? Well check out PhotoVision. You can see 10 minutes of content from the next issue, see what you’ve been missing.  Issue 82 has 9 educational segments featuring 9 different photographers. And that’s only on one issue – PhotoVision brings you 6 issues a year!  Click on http://fansof.photovisionvideo.com/Ashley/035710  and use the special promo code: PVFAN to receive PhotoVision 2010 at the special annual price of $39 – a $110 savings off the full price of $149.   Uhhh...

 I am so excited to Travis Gugleman on here coming up. I also really love Julie Klaasmeyer. I have been to IPPA seminars where both have taught and have really loved thier work!!!

Boudior....

I love to do these type of sessions! They are so much fun! The husbands loves them~ I love the art of these. I have tried to narrow these down to the ones that are not too reveiling, but to get a better idea of some Boudior sessions, visit my website and click on the boudior gallery.
We shot these in her home, which was great. It is so much more personal for my clients. I used my studio strobes for the majority of them but there was a few I shot with available light as well. Can you tell which ones? I was going for more of an old Hollywood look and I think she pulled it off nicely with the pearls and the lace. Finish it off with a warm Vintage wash over the image and there you have it! LOVE IT!
oh,.. but isnt She is beautiful!!!

Penrod Family....

We had such a great time with this family. I love these kids. And in case you were wondering yes, they have 2 sets of twins! Can you believe that!! These boys are growing up so fast and becoming handsome young men! And these girls are just beautiful(just like thier mama~)! Their light blond hair and their blue blue eyes are just amazing to photograph!
We went to Nephi to shoot this session and I was so happy with the old buildings we found that worked out so well! Special thanks to my assistant Amber for all your help on this shoot :)
