Portraits

This week's assignment was to develop our portrait taking skills. I have two themes: 1. The lovely ladies in my family and 2. the David O. McKay library (the place where I met and fell in love with my wife... we were reference librarians together). I think they turned out alright.

My lovely and amazing wife Jessica standing in front of one of the lilac trees in our backyard.

The first pic is my oldest daughter, Evelyn with Mr. Potato Head lips. I suped up the saturation and contrast to get what I think is a cool effect. The second pic is our middle child, Hannah. I love this picture... She's watching a Charlie and Lola DVD with crusty mac and cheese on her face, an"I-need-to-take-my-nap" stare and her signature agape mouth.

This is Sister Hepworth, the secretary at the library. Her office has great retro-looking wood paneling and I thought it was an appropriate backdrop.


This first pic is Sister Francis who used to be in charge of the student reference librarians. She is an amazing lady and a good sport for letting me take her picture up so close! The second picture is of Brother Powell, a good-natured man with a great hairdo! He's incharge of the library archives (thus the lab coat and the boxes).
