We road tripped it to South Dakota this past weekend (Mt. Rushmore!) on a VERY last minute whim. On our way back to Colorado we spotted a field of hay bales which looked like a fun spot to stop and take some photos.

**There is NO PHOTOSHOP trickery involved here–I PROMISE! Trickery, perhaps, but not photoshop or any other form of post-processing. This is ONE exposure my friends. :)
**Not gonna lie and pretend like I came up with this concept. This photo is 100% inspired by photographer Rodney Smith, whose work I came to love while I was a graduate student working as an intern at the BYU Museum of Art (the BYU MOA featured his photographs in an exhibition in 2005–I was in the design department and helped produce the gallery guide).

Though it seems during the summer I primarily photograph senior portraits and weddings, I’m always oh-so-thrilled to to photograph families, newborns, and two-year olds–all three of which I had the pleasure of doing during this session last week:

My little sister Rachel went to prom last weekend, and I signed on to be her official “pre-prom” portrait taker. The only rule I set–give me one hour of time at a “non-lame” location. None of that ten-minutes- infront-of-the-house nonsense that we all did for our pre-prom photos. :)

To kick off the week I thought I’d post a super small sneakity-peek from a recent portrait session.
Rachel is about to graduate from CU with a degree in Art History. In discussing options for session location, etc. we decided it’d be fun to try and recreate a work of art. Rachel found this Monet:

And this was our modern recreation:

Happy Monday!!
