Business Direction

I've been thinking about which direction to take my business, and I admit that I am not positive right now. I know I can't live without taking pictures. I also know my time is extremely limited. So I am keeping the door open, even if only slightly, for business. If it happens to fit in my schedule, I am glad to be your photographer. Always feel free to contact me, and we can most likely work something out, or I can make recommendations. Of course, my mom and I will continue to make and sell photo cards for those who want them. We are grateful that we are still consistently receiving requests for our cards.

The following three albums represent most of what I love to photograph, and should give you an idea of my style. The only category not included is business events, since the rights to those photographs belong to the companies for which I work. Also, the photo card album includes photographs taken by my mother, Anne Stewart.

I hope you like what you see.

Stopping for the Roses . . . Again . . . and Even Closer than Before

Exactly one year ago today, before this blog was created, I included a post on my family blog about the amazing roses growing in my neighborhood (see post here).

In line with my sequence theme of late, and my desire to be more focused (see post here), the following is my series on the wild rose bush growing just outside my door. Each stage of the flower's bloom is unique. If I capture anything else in the next few days, I will add the photos. For now, enjoy this . . .

Valley Storm Sequence

Unfortunately, I was out and about without a tripod for these photos. Otherwise I might have been able to include some cool lightning shots. However, these shots represent bits of what happened in the Salt Lake Valley within an hour (my camera logs the time of each shot taken) on Sunday, June 6th.


8:37 p.m.

It has to start somewhere . . .



8:44 p.m.

. . . often preceded by vivid colors.

9:19 p.m.
The raindrops are swallowed in its darkest moment here.



9:32 p.m.
It cannot be contained - by clouds, or by the treasure chest of city lights.




9:33 p.m.
Light always seems to find its way back . . .




9:34 p.m.
. . . into the picture. This time, just before nightfall.




9:35 p.m.
A peaceful beginning, a peaceful ending. Glorious valley storm.

Moab Sequences

This first one is all about light, and how less makes more sometimes.

This one needs no explanation . . .

And finally, the best playground nature offers us.
