My camera.

I've been getting a lot of questions from people about what camera I use. So here it is.

I shoot with a Canon 40D. Eventually I'll probably get a 5D, but the 40D soots me fine for now.
Lenses: 70-200mm 2.8 L series IS lens. I use this lens a TON. It's pretty heavy, but worth it. I always use this at sports events and with young kids (because they run fast and far). I also use it for all my candid shots at weddings.
I also have a 28-105mm 4.0 L series IS lens. This is my least used lens, but necessary. I use this for larger groups and all the formal group shots at weddings.
And I have a 50mm 1.4 lens. This took some getting used to (I'm a BIG fan of zoom lenses) but now I love this lens. Although I'll admit I RARELY shoot wider than a 1.8. I don't like the 1.4 look as much.
To be honest, I have no idea what flash I have. Not a great one. I hardly ever use it (and only if I absolutely have to). I'd rather open up my aperture.

And that's it.

So why a Canon? Because forever ago, my parents bought me a Canon film camera for Christmas. So when I switched to digital, I already had Canon lenses. I've never used a Nikon so I can't compare the two, but I LOVE my Canon. I'm not a do a ton of research kind of girl. If I like it, I stick with it.

For editing (I edit as little as possible. . .because I don't love that end of things) I use Bridge and Photoshop CS3, but am considering switching to Lightroom. I'm not sold yet.

There you have it.

Kali and Eric

A few from a wedding I did a while back with Rebekah Westover. I ran into the bride's mom at a wedding I did Saturday and it reminded me I never blogged these.

FEET.

Hollie. I'm sorry. Hope you like.

Ben.

This little guy is a cousin to Burton. My friend, April, bought gift certificates for her brothers to get pictures of their newborns. Nice sister. GREAT gift!!
Just like Burton, Ben was perfect. Very little crying, only ate once, and, since we didn't remove the diaper, no liquids. Great job Ben. Great job.

Just one for now.

Jamie and Matt

A wedding I second shot with the ridiculously talented Rebekah Westover. Enjoy.

Christa's bridals. . . .

. . .and a few of Brent.
Even though we ran out of light (the sun sets WAY early up the canyon), and got a wallet stolen (which was later returned, thankfully, although some shorts and shoes weren't--go figure) I'd say this shoot was still a success. It's tough to get a bad shot when Christa's in it. And in case anyone is wondering, her blue eyes are straight-out-of-the-camera. I didn't photoshop them at all. Lucky girl.







Couldn't decide between color and black and white on this one.






She's a mountain biker. So tough.
