The incredibly beautiful Violet, daughter of the super talented Rebekah Westover.  One of my super best friends.

Some really fun kids from downtown SLC.  Shot on Kodak tri-x

People seem to be fascinated by pictures of famous people as children.  Here is a unique perspective on that.  Behold pictures of the world famous Violet about 20 years before she changed the world.

You have probably seen a lot of behind the scenes stills and videos from shoot but I doubt many of them have this courage to show the untamed beast in it’s natural habitat.  Here are our local fine artists at their finest.

Tonight was great.  A lot of things that could have gone wrong went right and the result was magic.  My friend Shay is in town getting fitted for her wedding dress (yay!) and we have never had a really proper shoot together.  Tonight was the same as usual for us, 10 minutes to shoot and no real plan.  My wonderful and amazing talented friend Tara Starling let us shoot in her super cool store Anastasia’s Attic in West Jordan.  This store is full of really cool clothes and accessories and I highly recommend it to all you ladies who like getting glitter stars, pirate stuff, amazing chocolate etc etc etc.

Anyway with very little time, only 400 speed film, very low tungsten only light and nothing but a dressing room to shoot in here is what we got.  These were all taken on a Contax 645 on Fuji 400H film at f2.0 at 1/30th of a second.
