{Good Friends::Deidre & Ken}

As I was digging through my photo archives, I came across one of the first weddings I ever photographed.  It was for my dear friends Ken and Deidre.  I had worked with Ken for 3 years at a local golf course and in this time I became very close with him and his now wife Deidre.  I didn't hesitate when they asked me to be their wedding photographer, because they are such fun loving people that always have a good time.  They have since moved so Ken could attend culinary school, and they just had a little girl.  (Congrats you two!)  Their wedding was located at a small cabin outside of Big Timber, Montana.  It was a beautiful wedding that truly focused on the love they have for one another.  Enjoy!

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I thought I would update everyone on what I've been working on.  For my senior photo project this semester I've decided to do dog photography.  One of my influences has been Anna Kuperberg.  She is an amazing dog photographer as well as a wedding/portrait photographer.  If you need a laugh click HERE to check out her dog blog.  I've always loved dogs, and I feel that they have so much character and life.  Capturing this has been my goal with this project.  I want to convey each dogs personality and characteristics. This has been a very challenging project, because sometimes the dogs don't always do what I want them to; however, this also adds to their personality.  Here are some of my favorites so far.

{The Big Blue}

This is a project that I have been working on in my Advanced Digital class.  Our assignment was to create 3 images by photographing a landscape using the 4x5 bellows camera (This is a large camera that allows you to photograph using large negatives).  We then had to scan the negatives to create our images.  I photographed these pictures in Logan, MT where it is pretty flat and very windy.  The sky was perfect this day and I'm very happy with the way these photographs turned out!  To check out more on what students are doing in the Photography Department at Montana State University please click here.
