Two Years

I was looking at my blog posts and realized I took two years off of blogging. I kept shooting and making smiles happen but didn’t blog about it. So, in between the content that I have planned, I’ll be posting some of my highlights about what I was doing during those years. I learned A LOT about myself and had opportunities come my way that taught me more about what I like and don’t like.

When I was younger my Dad would ask me something like, what do you want to eat? I would tell him all the things I didn’t want but had a hard time coming up with things I did want. I never knew what I wanted. I just knew what I didn’t want.

I feel like I still struggle with that a bit, but taking pictures for others and businesses for the past couple of years I’ve had opportunities come my way and I’ve learned just a little bit more about what I want. I still don’t know, but I’m getting closer.

Some of those opportunities included shooting for the FAA! Yeah, that FAA. Did you know there is an FAA approved Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighters (ARFF) Training Center in Salt Lake City? The ARFF Training Center provides safe and realistic fire training for airport based firefighters and they asked me to take photos of their equipment and GIANT firetrucks. This is one of those jobs that you get because of who you know but I thought it was fun! It was challenging and very intimidating being the photographer for the day but also very awesome.

I took photos of equipment like, the jaws of life

and GIANT fire trucks that can hold 3,000 gallons of water!

Another opportunity I had was another year of dance photos for Legacy Dance in Orem. The jumping shots were always my favorite.

I started shooting for Redpoint Woodworks. Their furniture and other custom pieces are amazing! I’m sure I’ll post about them again. They are always making custom new pieces and needing photos for their website. I love it! They are talented carpenters making beautiful furniture and art for homes and businesses.
