K Studios Fine Art

2011-04-20T14:28:00.003-07:00

I just thought I'd clear up some confusion that came from me posting print pricing on my sidebar really quick:

When you book a shoot with me, for $100 you get an hour shoot with me, and a disc of edited photos with full rights to them. You can print them anywhere you want. If you choose, you can have them printed by my professional printing place, but that is completely optional.

If you would like to purchase one of my fine art prints (I currently have four, which I'll put up at the end of this post) then I order them and have them printed for you. Delivery should take 2-3 weeks, and I can deliver them to you, or you can pick them up from me. Please feel free to email/comment with any questions! I do not sell these four prints any smaller than a 16x20.

Mountain View Winter Formal

2011-02-18T10:07:00.000-07:00

I finally got to finish these pictures without (my darling partner-in-crime computer) Freidrick eating them all up! Wahoo for editing pictures six different times!

Float Wraps!

2011-01-26T14:37:00.000-07:00

Great news guys--float wraps are now 20% off! Tell me that this wouldn't look gorgeous as a wrap--no need for a distracting frame, all the focus goes right where it belongs: on the print.

I currently have four prints available for purchase, and if you order before January 31, a 16x20 (I honestly don't suggest going smaller than that) is only $60! Float wraps come ready to hang, and don't need a frame--here's and example of what one looks like.

Here are the three other prints available for purchase:

Email me to place your orders, but hurry--orders have to be in by January 31 to get the sale price!

Under Contruction

Hey guys, sorry it looks so crazy around here!! I'm attempting redesign and pretty things up, but I'm really really new to coding and things. Thanks for your patience while I figure this out!

Kirsten {head shots}

2010-11-05T20:13:00.003-07:00

Sneak Peak: Greg & Heather

2010-10-22T23:32:00.003-07:00

I went to Salt Lake on a roadtrip last weekend to take some wedding pictures for my dear friend Heather. Here's a sneak peak of what I got--and I'll get more tomorrow at her reception!

Sneak Peak: Homecoming

2010-10-20T19:24:00.004-07:00

I got to shoot a homecoming dance group a few weeks ago, it was so fun! Everyone looked great, and the lighting was GORGEOUS! I love it when I plan things perfectly. Here's a few to tide you over until I finish editing!

More Activity Days

2010-10-17T23:55:00.006-07:00

Here is the rest of the pictures from that activity I shot a few weeks ago. These girls were so so darling, and I love the way these pictures turned out!

Sneak Peak: Activity Days

2010-10-13T21:29:00.008-07:00

I had the opportunity to shoot for an Activity Day girls activity a few weeks ago. This activity was all about temples, specifically about getting married in the temple. Moms and friends brought their wedding dresses for the girls to try on, and then I took pictures of them all dressed up. My mom brought her dress, and it was fun to see how excited the girls were. Here's a few samples of what I got.

FINALLY! Heather

2010-10-09T13:39:00.000-07:00

Okay, I finally got around to editing all the shoots I've done lately--time for you to get the payoff!! Here's the rest of what we got with Heather.

Computer issues

2010-09-19T16:25:00.001-07:00

I've been dying to get the rest of Heather's shots up, but my little Mac had other plans! Fear not, they should be up soon!!

Sneak Peek: Heather

2010-08-24T23:57:00.002-07:00

Here are a few shots of Heather that I got Saturday morning; let me know what you think!

Did you miss me??

2010-08-21T09:45:00.002-07:00

I'm finally back! Load of stories of my adventures can be read here. I had a shoot this morning, and while waiting for my client to show up, shot some pictures of the temple. This lighting is definitely worth getting up for! I can't wait to see what I can do with this in Photoshop!

I'll be back....

2010-07-18T00:35:00.004-07:00

Sorry for the lack of posts--I'm currently away from my camera (sob!). But I'll be pack in a few weeks with new posts!

Kathryn

2010-07-11T22:58:00.003-07:00

These are some more of the shots I got at the Trevor Dayley Workshop. What a great experience!

More Audrey

2010-07-07T10:19:00.005-07:00

Here's more from the shoot Audrey and I did the other day--I'm so lucky to have a such a great practice model!

Sneak Peek: Kathryn

2010-06-28T13:08:00.002-07:00

This is from the workshop I did with Trevor Dayley a few weeks ago--Kathryn was such an awesome model! She was really good at giving all of the photographers (like maybe 15 of us?) good eye contact, and kind of made me feel like I was the only one taking pictures of her. And don't you just love her smile?? More to come soon!!

A Sneak Peek: More Audrey!

2010-06-25T00:47:00.002-07:00

Can you tell who my free practice model is? Audrey and I took off to practice some of the new tricks that I learned with Trevor a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, these shots turned fabulously! Here's a sneak peek for you--no editing, just straight off my camera... I can't wait to see what they look like edited!

Audrey's Headshots + other fun

2010-06-17T14:50:00.004-07:00

Here are the rest of Audrey's headshots (the top two). This was a neat shoot because we had like no light, and my camera was trying to compensate for it, and so it was super hard, but I think we got some great shots anyway!!

The rest of these are things I've been playing with since my workshop. The textures are a bit overboard, but I kind of love them anyway!

This one is kind of Andy Warhol, but I love it!

Woah....

2010-06-11T12:19:00.008-07:00

I had the fabulous opportunity to attend a workshop by the wonderful Trevor Daley last weekend. I learned so much!! It was marvelous darlings, let me tell you. One of the things I was really excited to learn was better editing techniques in Photoshop. Now, I don't do much editing, I like my pictures pretty raw, but this was incredible!! Let me show you the difference: I showed you this shot from Audrey's headshot session earlier--it's one of my favorites from the shoot.

Not to bad, right? This is with the minor editing that I do. Like really really minor.

Better, right? This one isn't super super drastic, but I love how much better it looks!!

Here's a bit more dramatic example. This is Erin, one of the beautiful women I work with. She had asked me to edit some photo's for here, and this was the first attempt.

Isn't she cute!? Here's what I could do to it after Trevor showed me the magic!

Ta daaaaaaa!!

Sneak Peek: Audrey's Headshots

2010-05-31T01:12:00.002-07:00

Here is a sneak peek of some headshots I took for my friend Audrey. You can see our other shoot together here and here

Heidi + Sam

2010-05-22T21:35:00.006-07:00

Here are some more shots from Sam and Heidi's wedding -- I'm not going to lie, I get pretty impressed with myself every time I see them! And I figured out a watermark on photoshop--what do you think?

This one is my favorite -- the minute I saw this, I knew that Sam was perfect for Heidi. I love the adoration in his eyes.

Sarah's Senior Session

2010-05-11T16:44:00.007-07:00

Here's another senior session I got to do last week--isn't she gorgeous!!? The lighting on her hair was absolutely awesome. Enjoy!!

McKendrick Family -- at last!

2010-04-28T11:22:00.004-07:00

Here is the rest of the pictures from the McKendrick family -- so sorry they have taken so long! The joys of computer issues.... Yuck. This was such a fun family to work with -- a great first family shoot, don't you think?

Sneak Peek: Heidi + Sam = Speechless

2010-04-24T01:16:00.008-07:00

My very best friend got married last week, and I was able to take a few pictures after they came out of the temple. Every time I look at these pictures, I'm absolutely speechless -- I hope you enjoy them!

Sneak Peek: McKendrick Family

2010-03-28T20:31:00.005-07:00

I got to do a shoot with the awesome McKendrick family this weekend -- what a fun group! Here's a raw sneak peek -- I'll have better edited ones up soon!!

Claire

Isn't she just the perfect little model?! She was such an angel for the entire shoot! Love it.

Sneak Peek: Claire

2010-03-13T19:46:00.004-07:00

I got to do a shoot with darling little Claire the other day -- she is such a model!! I'll leave you with this one to drool over while I keep editing.... Isn't she just adorable?

Adurey Part 2

2010-02-24T13:12:00.006-07:00

Here is the rest of my shoot with Audrey -- I loved both of her outfits -- they went perfectly with our location! Props to Audrey's mom for making that splendid dress!

Elder Hutchins

2010-02-22T10:57:00.006-07:00

I had the pleasure of taking missionary pictures for my friend Jack Hutchins. He has been called to the Buenos Aires, Argentina Mission, Spanish speaking. This was a quick session, but I'm really happy with what we got. Jack leaves for the MTC in Provo March 10.

Audrey: A Just For Fun Session (Part 1)

2010-02-18T19:28:00.007-07:00

Here is part one of the shoot I did with Audrey. I hadn't shot in Downtown Gilbert before, but I loved the vintagey feel we got, between the location and Audrey's clothes, not to mention our fun typewriter, I love the way these turned out! Enjoy, and more to come soon!!

Sneak Peek: Audrey

2010-02-17T16:21:00.005-07:00

Here's a sneak peek of a shoot I did the other day with my friend Audrey -- she was such an awesome model!! These are just a few (we took 612!), and they're not edited yet, but I just couldn't wait to share!

Elder Joshua Darin Boatright

2010-02-13T22:06:00.008-07:00

My very best friend entered the MTC last Wednesday. What a bittersweet moment!! He is going to serve in the Geneva, Switzerland Mission, speaking French. He is so excited (I got my first email from him on Saturday and my first letter today -- YAY!!) I had the opportunity to take some last minutes shots with him, and I love what we got!

City 2010

2010-02-01T18:34:00.004-07:00

Wrestling season is coming to its close, and I watched my little brother wrestle for 1st in the city in freshman wrestling on Saturday. I got this sweet shot of Skyler Passey, who was also wrestling for 1st in the 103 lb. weight class. I usually am not a fan of the blur style, but I thought this one was really neat.

Missionary Friends

2009-09-25T18:28:00.006-07:00

My good friend Tyler has been called to Spokane, Washington, and asked me to take his missionary pictures. I was thrilled to do this, and I think they turned out really well. Hopefully this won't be my last set of missionary pictures. Enjoy!

Family reunion

2009-09-23T18:07:00.004-07:00

We had a family reunion for my dad's side in Provo, Utah this summer. I only had my camera with me for breakfast one day, so I only have candid shots, but the ones of the youngest cousins turned out so well!

A Dubois Parade

2009-09-03T22:09:00.004-07:00

While we were in Yellowstone, we spent the 4th of July in a town called Dubois. It was such a neat little town! We went to their parade, which was wonderful.

Yellowstone some more....

2009-08-19T13:38:00.004-07:00

While in the geyser park, we saw so many neat birds -- especially a lot of osprey. I got some really neat shots of this osprey spiraling around the geysers -- enjoy!

Yellowstone: Geysers

2009-08-11T15:51:00.005-07:00

The park around Old Faithful was absolutely breathtaking! The geysers and pools were so neat! Some of them, like this first one haven't been polluted or touched at all, and they are so amazingly blue. Others, like Morning Glory, the last pictures in this post, have turned all sorts of gorgeous colors from people throwing things into them. The water is boiling all the time, and there is steam everywhere. It was a neat place to take pictures.

More Yellowstone

2009-07-31T16:34:00.003-07:00

Everything in Yellowstone is so green -- it's quite a change from all the desert landscape here! I loved how picturesque this river was, it's so curvy and pretty!

Yellowstone

2009-07-19T16:17:00.008-07:00

My family and I recently returned from a wonderful vacation to the Yellowstone National and Grand Teton National Parks. They were absolutely wonderful, and I got some really great shots there. It is so beautiful there, it was pretty hard to take a bad picture! These are the Grand Teton Mountains -- they are absolutely gorgeous! There was a lot of cloud cover while were there, which gives the pictures great drama, but makes it hard to get the right exposure. I'm still working on editing, but here are the Grand Tetons!

Rachael: a Senior Session

2009-05-07T14:03:00.005-07:00

Intramural Wrestling

2009-03-15T17:37:00.014-07:00

Here are the shots I got from a tournament on March 5. This was a Jr. High intramural tournament, so I don't know the weight classes for most of these wrestlers, but I'll ID the ones I can.

These next two are Skyler Passey
