Hannah | Inspiration shoot with Floral Design by Erin

A few weeks ago, I decided it was time for me to shoot something for me. I think it’s a good idea to do some personal work every once in a while. With spring in full bloom, I wanted to incorporate something with flowers. Other than that, I just wanted soft, beautiful portraits. My lovely...

Poland-Part 3

This is the final post of our trip. Krakow was definitely the prettiest city we visited. Too bad this is when Mr. E. Coli was in full-swing. We still managed to make it out for a few hours. And then we finished our trip up in Warsaw. Tweet

Kaylie - So pretty! What lens do you use when you take the photo’s of the both of you yourself?

Cindy Steel - So pretty! I loved all of the pictures. Especially the Auschwitz post. Such haunting pictures. I loved looking at them all! Oh and I’m so sorry you got sick!!

Jalene - Hi, Kaylie!

I used my 24mm f2.8 fixed lens to take the pictures of us together. :)

Poland-Part 2

This post is dedicated to Auschwitz. It’s hard to really say how I feel about this place. It has a very eery, solemn feeling. Most Poles have never been there.  It’s too hard for them. Most of the people killed here were Poles. While we were there, the light was so interesting. After we left, I...

Lexi - Is this where Ellie Wiesel was?

Mariko - You’re right, this is kind of eerie…but you captured everything so well. It makes me want to go visit. Places like this intrigue me to find out more, but at the same time, it is hard to take it all in and realize that these pictures depict a reality that these people had to go through.

Ché - I went to Kraków and Warsaw (including a little bit of Austria and Czech Republic too) a few years ago and have a lot of pictures from the similar places. I was with a touring singing group and we actually sang in hebrew at Auschwitz (the lower one) and it was so powerful. So sorry you got sick during the trip, but eastern Europe is lovely!

Lindsay Kay - Wow. Wow wow. I haven’t been on your blog in too long. What a post. These are some amazing shots. This place makes me sick. Ugh, the horror of the worlds’ history!

Poland-Part 1

In October, my husband, Lincoln, and I visited Poland for twelve days. Lincoln served an LDS mission there. There are definitely really pretty parts of Poland. They love their parks. I wish we had a quarter of the beautiful parks they have. And the city squares are always really beautiful! But like most European countries,...

Anna Freeby - yay! I love me some mid-west.

I am a photographer.

I don’t write often enough on this blog.  And today I’m going to write a lot. Let’s start at the beginning, eh?  People often ask how I “got into” photography.  Well, here’s the story for all of you to hear (read). My talented father is a photographer (among other things), so naturally I have been...
