taylor

It took some begging, but Taylor finally agreed to let me take pictures of her. After three hours of heat and multiple near-death experiences, this is the result.

is it bad for me to love my own pictures? I love this one.

similar, yet different.

woohoo! so glad this turned out.

daydreaming.. :)

this one might be my favorite, which is good, because this was one of the near-death experiences.

this one was Taylor's idea, and I loved it!

thoughtful..

Taylor possibly has the prettiest eyes I've ever seen.

peekaboo!

once again, Taylor's idea.

I think she should take the pictures next time!

oh the joy of spinning and dancing in a wheat field. :)

hahaha, there are so many reasons why I love this picture.

:) :)

zero editing on this one. (other than the logo in the corner)

okay, I also really like these next three. a lot.

:)

so cute!

last but not least.. our feet. :) aren't they adorable?

I think it was worth all those scary experiences.

liz (also known as ginga or yittle yiz)

this is my redhead/model friend, Liz. (okay, so she isn't actually a model, but she could be. she really is a redhead, though. :) ) these are some of our adventures we've had while exploring Mack Park.

forgive me for using the same location.. seeing as I'm not legally allowed to drive without a parent, my choices are somewhat limited.

okay, this one has a story behind it.

while Liz and I were innocently trying to take pictures in the middle of the street, I would barely have enough time for two shots before a car would come and we would have to run for our lives. living in Cache Valley, it isn't too odd to see a tractor on the road every now and again. this one happens to be the second tractor that tried to ruin our pictures, so liz said "Alysha. I HAVE to get a picture with this tractor."

and there you have it. :)

can I just tell you something right now?

her hair is naturally that beautiful and red. jealous? um yes!

:)

"cartwheel!" liz randomly shouts. *click*

haha, I love this girl!

I love this one. her half-smile is so mysterious.

here it is again, modified.

It just occurred to me that I have many friends that could double as models.

good news for me!

okay, how can you NOT love this picture??

playing in the street.. :)

I think this one is my favorite. look at those eyes!

so pretty!

"I have to get some dramatic ones, Liz."

I'm not sure if it turned out dramatic, but oh well.

and finally, my most successful shadow shot.

the end!

whitney II

I recently had a burst of inspiration for photos, and I desperately wanted to try out my ideas. All I needed was a model! Luckily, Whitney doesn't mind helping me practice my photography. I'm pretty proud of how these ones turned out. Enjoy!

one of my favorite shots of the day!

I love the light bubble in this one. and Whitney is just too pretty if you ask me. :)

:)

while at the park, we saw a bunch of guys tight-rope walking! we asked if we could try it out, and they exchanged a few strange looks, but they let us.

Whitney's pretty good at it for a first-timer! ;)

just kidding. this is what was really going on.

she was much better at balancing on the street.

I love jumping shots. :)

loveloveloveloveLOVE her hair in this one!

what a tree hugger ;)

so gorgeous!

cuuuuuuute!

more jumping.. it's just so happy!

such a model.. :)

bahaha! her face. love it.

"whoa," said Christian. "she's really pretty!"

I'd say this was my most successful photo shoot so far. (thanks for the inspiration, auntie laura!)

Whitney is one of the most adorable people on the planet! Scroll down and see for yourself. :)

This one is probably my favorite.

old-fashion-ified

colors! :D

I'm pretty sure she has the beautiful-est eyes ever.

:)

I really love this! (how much you wanna bet she's thinking about an attractive boy?)

Those were my favorites from that day. Told you she's a cutie!
