Mamiya 645, Portra 400

wally, rocky & turtle

Ever been to Benjamin, UT? Me neither. But I got to go out there a few weeks ago to photograph Wally the mastif, Rocky the mutt and Turtle the thoroughbred. From the moment I exited my car, Wally and Rocky were exceedingly friendly to say the least. They did not leave my side the whole day. Needless to say I love them both.

My clients then informed be that I could just go down the pasture and meet Turtle. I asked if the horses would mind (really I was quite nervous to go traipsing around in their territory, I have not spent much time around horses) As I made my way down, with Wally & Rocky at my heels the horses paid me no mind. But then I got a bit closer and they all perked up and began slowly in my direction (as seen in the photo directly above) before I new it I had six horse faces inches from my own. 

It was pretty incredible, they were nudging me and competing for my attention. It was such a great experience. It did however get a bit hairy when I began to actually shoot, the shutter spooked them and I found myself climbing over the fence very quickly. The rest of the shoot went so well and will probably remain one of my favorites.

I love film

Beautiful Josy shot with Mamiya 645, Portra 400 developed & scanned. Nothing added, nothing changed. I am in love.

hogle zoo

Hudson is super lucky his Aunt Holly and Uncle Eric work at the Hogle Zoo. So we got to spend a wonderful afternoon there with them and Grandma & Grandpa Peterson. We all got to feed Aunt Holly's giraffe, and of course I was taking pictures like crazy, but alas it was film and I have lost the roll, and am so bummed about it. Maybe one day it will reappear.

penelope and traci

I can't believe Penelope is two already! I remember holding her as a newborn when I was 9+ months pregnant. And now she is two and Hudson will be two this week!!!! Time flies. It was such a pleasure to take pics of Penny and her pretty momma, who was pregnant with their now two week old sweet little max.
