Pictures Past ... {Summer at Hyrum Dam}

A few years back we spent the afternoon at Hyrum Dam with our family!

It was a beautiful, warm summer day so we pulled out the camera 

and made a few pics!! Enjoy!!

Pictures Past ... {a boy and his hat}

Meet Jack.

Jack is hilarious.

Jack is adorable.

Jack is very entertaining.

These pictures were taken at a city Soccer game on a random Saturday afternoon.

My favorite photos are made when a child is simply having fun. 

This was not a planned shoot, this was simply a boy who was having a good time

and a girl who had her camera in tow - 

Simplicity, passion and happiness -  that's what I see in a boy and his hat.

 

Keep Smiling,

Growing Pains

So I've been looking back at my previous posts 

(specifically my very first posts from 2007 and 2008)

and I am realizing just how far I have come in this hobby of mine!

My first few years, I relied heavily on my editing programs to make my work interesting.

Don't get me wrong, I still love creating pieces of art through those programs,

but I have worked through the awkward phase of photo editing

and I am comfortable saying that these days I do very little editing

because I have learned how to use angles, my surroundings, 

and MOST IMPORTANTLY, my camera!

I am so passionate about my photography,

and I'm so happy that I can recognize my growing pains and that I THINK I have grown out of them

enough so that the pictures that I make can stand on their own.

I'm hoping to have some people sessions soon - 

I knew that it would take a while after we moved,

but I'm CRAVING a session with adorable kiddos!!

Until then, and as always, Keep Smiling!!

Annie
