oh Bloggity Blog Blog......

I won't lie blog I haven't totally missed you, but i guess we should reignite our friendship and actually post a little more.

I guess you deserve an explanation...It's not you, It's Me...Ok it's you too.

I have what is known as a full-time job and quite honestly some days I just get home and take a nap until I have to go to sleep haa...

So I have this idea....and I just barely started working on it today, it involves doing a makeup artist program during the summer and maybe that will get me through a few more months til i can go back to school..

Oh P.S. going to school in the fall :D (OODALALLY)

I will be working on getting my BFA in photography! I'm so excited for this you have no idea, the break was nice and honestly i couldn't have done school right now anyways but ya we are going to try the whole full-time job/full-time student thing, good news is i won't have any free time to spend money so that's a good way to save...haa.

SAVING MONEY IS.....hard :/

I'm pretty determined however because my parents basically bribed me with a trip to Disneyland if i could save the money, and trust me I will do ANYTHING to go to Disneyland.

ALSOOOO, I'm starting an Etsy page soon enough once I get all of my "product finalized" (see how professional I am?!) Basically I take characters I come up with in this ol noggin of mine or what I paint and stitch them on to blankets etc, once I get the etsy page a rollin I will post another bloggity blooo.

Well that's all I suppose, Photos will be coming along :] I have Spring Fever and some idearrss (British eh?).

Anywhooo I have a RedBox to return or the RedBox Nazi with remove yet another dollar and seven cents from my bank account.

Much Love,

Stephy :)

walk

2009-11-22T15:57:00.000-08:00

I went on a walk today through my neighborhood just to relax and take some pictures before the snow started to fall. The top picture is actually my street, technically i live on 50 south but Shakespeare Ave is stamped on every corner and i think that's a little better. I love feet shots for some reason, i guess its to show i was there without having to flip my huge camera around and take a picture of my face.

The second picture is of a house called "the cottage" its the old physicians ward for the state hospital..haa i would.

P.S. its never too early for senior pictures, snow is coming soon and its way fun to take shots in that too!

Apple Orchards

2009-11-17T18:12:00.000-08:00

This family was so fun to shoot, we went to the apple orchards by the state hospital and also "the castle" also by the state hospital. Both are great places to shoot, speaking of that I am looking for a girl 18-23 to do a shoot with a friend of mine. It would be great if she were taller and had dark long hair but light hair will work just fine too. If you know anyone or if you yourself would like to be involved let me know :].

Fam @ GSL

2009-09-01T18:06:00.000-07:00

So here we are! Amber and the fam at the Great Salt Lake!

The Great Salt Lake

2009-09-01T17:56:00.000-07:00

So this last weekend I was able to go to the Great Salt Lake and she what all the hype is about for taking pictures there. I actually went with my sister to take pictures of her family (which will be posted soon by the way) but decided to get in some of my own shots as well. Soo heres the deal, if anyone is interested in buying any prints i am more than willing to sell them (im pretty poor right now give me a break haa) just let me know :]

Just a Little Sneaky Peeky...

2009-08-30T22:38:00.000-07:00

So this weekend has been filled with some fun shoots that I had to share little sneak peeks with :]..

First of is my cousin and her preggers belly and her husband and just how adorable they are together.

Second is a picture I did of my sister and her cute family out at the Great Salt Lake...stay tuned for more photos!

P.S....

2009-08-22T13:31:00.000-07:00

I kind of hate blogging...but heres a picture for ya :] down center street from my house in provo.

Dear Self

2009-07-20T23:17:00.000-07:00

Dear Self,

is it really neccessary at this point to make plans when you keep changing them? Keeping up on the blog has somewhat gone out the window seeing as you are busy...

1) taking photos (which never get uploaded due to...)

2)getting ready to move to a cute little home in provo (wow a plan that actually went through with no glitches haa)

3)trying to get your boss of two years out of denial because you will be leaving in three weeks and are afraid that his small boyscout messes and piles of paper will consume him

4)filling out applications for jobs that hopefully will allow you to avoid working at forever21 and not have a paycheck...ever

Anyways...

The plan seems to be to wait to january and hope for some DIVINE INSPIRATION on the whole school subject (which seems to be leaning towards online schooling)

A.I. fell through unfortunately, but it was for the best seeing as i got an "insiders opinion" and it wasnt so much all it was cut out to be.

If all goes "according to plan" (pfff) i will start online school from somewhere (academy of art perhaps???) and until then just make some money with a normal boring job but of course photos remaining NUMERO UNO

Well i guess after all of that i do owe you a photo...heres one taken at the scofield cemetary on July 4th, its the lock on a gate surrounding a tombstone...eerie i know...

but its what i do :]

two favorite things...

2009-06-18T19:36:00.000-07:00

I just have to say that two of my most favorite things in the world are located in this picture :] We took this the other night when it was still a little cloudy but the perfect lighting for this time of night.

Sunset

2009-06-06T18:45:00.000-07:00

I just love doing shoots with Becca! we decided to wait until sunset to get some amazing light and here are some of the shots we were able to get. my favorite is the black and white one and the very last one with the amazing light behind her :] let me know what you think

"band shots"

2009-05-27T23:45:00.000-07:00

haha so here is one more post for the night...these are some friends of mine that wanted some "band shots" done of them...seeing as technically they arent really a band, it was really all for fun, and trust me we got some good laughs out of it :]

thanks guys!

ZOO DAY!

2009-05-27T22:40:00.000-07:00

You really have no idea how much I love the zoo and how much i just love animals in general. I think that they are the most amazing and beautiful things in the whole world. This week I was lucky enough to go with my mom, sister, and nephew to the Hogle Zoo, and boy did we have a great time. Elephants are by far my most favorite animal EVER...i collect antique elephant statues i have clothes with elephants on them and lucky enough i was even able to find paper made out of elephant poop at the zoo that i have been trying to find forever haha. But anyways i was so excited to take my camera not only for the idea to take some personal photos of the people i love, but also to get some shots in of the animals i love. I really could have sat and took pictures of the elephants all day but seeing as that wasnt going to happen i got some shots of the other animals as well.

The little guy in the first picture is a type of parrot from south africa, he made a really funny noise that caught my attention but also the colors of him and his toy in the cage caught my eye.

The giraffes were a real treat because they were outside and coming really close to all of the people, giraffes would have to be my second favorite animal because of how tall they are and (as shown in the picture, they are knock kneed like me!! im so printing that picture and putting it in my apartment btw.

Then of course there are the elephants, the last picture would have to be my favorite, it was our second visit to the elephant encounter for the day and they finally put some hay up for them to eat, i loved watching this big guy eat with his trunk :]

rain...rain...

2009-05-23T19:34:00.000-07:00

Even though it was a really rainy day today down in Price, luckily Becca and I were able to get some really cute photos of her in. Since I haven't done any photos next to my favorite old door for awhile i decided it was time to take some there. The rain is really a pain in the bet when it comes to photo shoots because of worrying about getting your camera wet, but when you have a nice boyfriend that will hold an umberella over you everything seems to work out :]. I've wanted to take a shoot in the rain for awhile and well, today was the day! I really hope you enjoy and make sure to comment!

update update

2009-05-21T15:33:00.000-07:00

So I don't really think I have any pics to put up for this post but i just wanted to give you a heads up to what is coming up for me and my blog. Tomorrow I have a shoot with a senior named Kody (yay! a boy finally!) even though its after graduation his family wanted some photos of him so we are taking some of him at the skatepark and around some grafitti (if i can find some). He sounds like a pretty cool kid some im excited for that!

On Saturday morning im taking a shoot of three more girls in just a fun fashion shoot which will we just be something fun to do!

I also just got a text from my best friend Court who's family wants me to do pics of them on June 13th. I am so excited for all these shoots because I thought as soon as summer came around the shoots would die down but they are actually picking up really well.

If anyone wants a fun shoot or any type of shots done let me know and we can figure out pricing and what not, summer is a great time for photos and I need tons of practice and shots for my portfolio.

a few more...

2009-05-18T19:51:00.000-07:00

just a few more from that shoot because i can :]

I can't seem to help myself...

2009-05-17T13:54:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I had the great oppurtunity to take pictures of my gorgeous cousins, originally the plan was the just take "senior" like pictures for the one but her sister really wanted some too so we went for sister shots as well :] These four pictures are my four favorite out of all of them, even though there are so many more that i am sure i will be posting later. We first started off in a place near some train tracks up by UVSC, after we headed to my favorite place which was an old abandoned house (that smelled a little like cats). The lighting was just amazing and some more of my fav shots came from there so as soon as they are edited make sure to look back for them. Thank you so much girls seriously when i move up there you are totally going to model for me!

mother's day

2009-05-12T19:02:00.000-07:00

haha so this is my boyfriend sam and his little sister morgan, they decided to give their mom a photo of them for mother's day and they asked me to take it. of course im using my favorite chair that doesn't belong to me and the lovely field behind my house. just so you know this pic really shows off their personalities i think its so cute

"hot-mess"

2009-05-12T18:48:00.000-07:00

I was at work today kind of bummed that i havent done a photo shoot for awhile and decided to just send out a text to see if anyone wanted to do a really quick shoot. Luckily Jenna, her little sister Megan and her friend Jacki were all in. Basically the theme for the shoot was "hot-mess" i really just wanted to make them look like they jumped in my costume trunk rolled around for a little bit then came out looking fantastic :] this shoot was really fun and luckily i got two more girls who are more than willing to do random photo shoots with me!!!

Joe's Valley

2009-05-07T20:32:00.000-07:00

This week i really wanted to do something fun seeing as i just graduated and it is the beginning of summer for me! Also i made this huge to do list for summer and this was totally on it. Joe's Valley is located about 40 minutes away from price and it really popular for bouldering and seeing as my boyfriend is way into that we decided to take some friends and go camping there for a couple of days. It was so much fun to meet people from all over the U.S. (including Canada) and to just relax and eat camp food! I didnt take as many pictures as i wanted to but its all good im sure we will be going again sometime. The top two pictures are of Sam attacking the problem "Big Joe" its a V7 that is so intimidating i dont know how they do it. The third picture is one Sam took of me doing my first V1 haha im proud!! i need to work on these chicken legs and arms of mine bahaha...oh plus my arms look like lobsters from it because of the lovely sunburn i now have.

long time

2009-05-07T20:10:00.000-07:00

so sorry its been a long time since a post but ive been busy graduating and starting my summer off right with camping and what not...a couple weekends ago we went to moab with the fam it was really fun, here are two shots i got from the car show and the 'hole in the rock'the next weekend amber and jason came down for my graduation, thats right im done with CEU!! anyways we decided to take thier family pics and i think they turned out really cute...

here are pictures from my graduation, im so happy all of my family and sam got to go it was nice to have them there, my favorite photo is the one of me and my dad :]

sneek peek

2009-04-15T16:37:00.000-07:00

So this is Brenda and I have known her since i was a sophomore in high school, since she is graduating from CEU May 2nd as well she wanted to get some graduation shots and was cool enough to ask me! This is a sneek peek because she hasnt chose the ones she wants yet but i love this shot so i decided to put it up, enjoy :]

one year

2009-04-13T18:26:00.000-07:00

I know...my nephew is the cutest thing thing ever! Well while my sis and him were down in Price over Easter weekend we kind of had a photography extravaganza, on Friday my sis took my CEU college graduation announcement pics (if you're related to me expect to get one in the upcoming weeks haha. Then on Saturday we decided to go out again and take A.J.'s one year old photos! it was really fun and he was such a good boy.

updateeeee.....

2009-04-06T00:01:00.001-07:00

So you have probably seen this pictures before in previous posts I have made and are now asking yourself, why would she repost these? well my friend it is that time of year...the CEU student art show! Based off of parent, teacher, boyfriend, friend input, these are the six in which i shall be entering..."Thinking Bench"

"Fountain of Leaves"

"Princess"

"Bath Time"

"La Salle"

"Rusty Handles"

I am really excited this year because not only will i be putting in more photos than last year, but i will also be putting in some of my paintings...here is a really bad phone picture of one just to give you an idea...
It's called "Apple in a Cup" haha my dad says the title is too obvious, I am putting two other painting in other than this, one is of a pear on a classic picnic table cloth and the other is a blue monochromatic of a pitcher and a pear.

In other Stephanie news i have decided on my next purchase as far as photography goes, i really want to do a lot of adventurous things this summer so im planning on buying a Lowepro Camera Backpack like this...

Cool huh? its not very expensive and will be really convenient rather than carrying around my usual nikon camera bag which can be a beast. Sorry for the long post haha its 1:30 in the morning and I'm bored.

Anyways to end this post if anyone is interested, the student art show runs from April 10 to May 1 i believe and the reception is April 17, most of my pics are for sale so ya blah blah blah...goodnight :]

Clue

2009-04-03T16:27:00.000-07:00

Ok so the assignment for my class was "the games people play" and at first i took a really literal look at it and thought stuff like the games guys and girls play blah blah blah anyways i decided to take it a step further and modernize/reinvent the characters from clue. I got a great group of people who were really into the idea and this is what we got! Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, and Miss Scarlet. it was a really fun shoot and these guys did a great job with it!

Endgame

2009-03-27T21:58:00.000-07:00

I am the staff photographer of the CEU newspaper The Eagle, it was really cool being asked to do this during the semester because my images, as impromptu they may be, are able to be seen campus wide and by whoever else reads the newspaper. I won't lie to you though, sometimes the things i have to take pictures for really dont interest me haha let's just say that i totally avoid sports and leave that to other people on the staff that actually care. This assignment was a little different, the theatre department is an outrageously talented part of CEU, everytime i walk into the geary theatre it makes me regret not pursuing it like i used to. Anyways i was asked to take the pictures for the article they are doing about the next production happening in the next week or so, Endgame by Samuel Beckett. I had to read the play for a class once and its really a great, confusing, and interesting productiong, i would really suggest going to it because the set looks awesome and i know they actors are amazing. Anyways the director already had this great shot in mind and thanks to the lighting crew the lights turned out great. You can always depend on actors to get right into character even when its just for a photo.

Truck

2009-03-18T16:18:00.000-07:00

Here's another shot from my trip with the family down to the desert and Hondu Arch. This truck was by far my most favorite thing to take pictures of the whole trip. It always makes me wonder when i see cars like this why they are left behind, it makes the desert that much more interesting to me. This was taken with my D90 with manual settings at 1/125 and f10 with an ISO of 200.

old cars and uranium mines

2009-03-16T00:03:00.000-07:00

What a great Saturday! Amber, Jason, and the baby came down for the weekend so we decided to head to the desert on saturday for a good time and some awesome photo opportunities.

We found a lot of old cars, mines and just great landscape shots and it was really just a good time. All of these shots were taken with my D90 most fully manual. My favorite shot would have to be the one of the old yellow car, it was pretty scavaged through but i managed to find a handle to call my own. All of these areas are located in Southern Utah near I-70, what a beautiful place!

3 Tracks

2009-02-20T10:48:00.000-08:00

So its finally here! the photo to begin the photo chain, so if you want it print if off or i can e-mail it to you.

I really love taking photos, it makes me so happy when i can take a picture of something people usually dont look at or when they look at it it's nothing out of the ordinary. This picture was taken in south price while i was looking for numbers for my perpetual photo wall calendar. I edited it in Photoshop and gave it the vintage fisheye look that it has because i really love that look. I've learned that with photography you really have to practice and understand that it takes practice and critique before you can become the photographer you want to be. It drives me nuts when people dont understand that.:]

Candle Light

2009-02-17T14:38:00.000-08:00

As a photography major i got the oppurtunity to have what is called a special problems class, its basically an advanced photography class where the teacher and I focus in on what i really want to learn. One of the first assignments i was given was one where the only light i could use was candle light, it was a really nice assignment though because i was able to really practice fully manual photos in a controlled lighting situations. These pictures were taken with my Nikon D90 fully manual at an F stop of 5.6 and a shutter speed of around 60 depending on how much lighting i was using. Once again Courtney did an amazing job and we only set the fire alarm off twice..maybe three times.

My next assignment is "My Bloody Valentine" haa right up my alley, i will be doing that shoot around thursday, along with that im going to start doing my continuous wall calendar which im pretty excited about :] by then i should have the photo up for the beginning of the photo chain.

Update with the Art Institute is that I got my acceptance letter last week! and now all i have to do is figure out financial aide etc. Then im moving to Draper in either July or October depending on which quarter i decide to start on then im on my way to being a professional :]

Photo Chain!!

2009-02-09T14:38:00.001-08:00

So my new obsession is photography podcasts and my most favorite is called This Week In Photography (TWIP) in their most rescent episode they did an interview with the CEO of a company called photojojo where they come up with DIY projects involving your own photos and ways to display them etc. sooooo here's the best idea! i'm going to start a photo chain!! what happens is i am going to take the first photo and if you want to be involved e-mail me at kossphoto@hotmail.com or comment me here and i will email you the photo, from there you will have to take a photo of that photo somewhere else and thus the chain continues with however many people you want to get involved! when you take the photo you have to e-mail it back to me so i can keep track of it... this could be awesome! when you pass the chain on to others please give them my email so i can keep track of everything...the photo will be posted in the next couple of days when i can get a photo of something great :]

Tammy Favorites

2009-02-05T22:14:00.000-08:00

This is Tammy :] She is going into the army pretty soon and decided that she wanted to do a shoot which i was so excited for! we actually hit a lot of my favorite photo shoot spots around Price but what made the shoot so nice was her style and the different personality to brought to it. She's such a cute girl that is totally going to kick ass in the army!

"Princess"

2009-01-30T20:51:00.000-08:00

This shoot was inspired by the advertising shoot done for Vera Wang's fragrance: Princess. I wanted a shoot a little out of the ordinary with a little more emphasis on the location and outfit/accessories as well as the model. Becca is a great model and i also have to say that our friend Micheal Crespin did an amazing job as stylist and chair lifter :]

update :]

2009-01-24T00:16:00.000-08:00

This is an older photo that i took with my Nikon D40 back at the beginning of the school year (as you can tell from the warm looking weather). I start my special problems class next week and im working on some stuff for my advertising stuff so trust me you will see some D90 work in all its glory pretty soon :]. As of right now if you really wanted to see anything from my D90 it would be all images heading for the newspaper seeing as i have been getting swamped with activities i have to take pictures for... As for update with the Art Institute of Salt Lake City, most likely i am going :] i still am using the U as a backup plan just in case i decide that i want a little less debt from student loans when i graduate haha ughh. The thing is i know that if i dont do this i think i will regret it, consider this the letter from Disney and im not staying on the farm :] p.s. if anyone would like to donate to the stephanie needs to eat fund because all of her money is going to college, feel free....totally kidding haha :]

photo by court :)

2009-01-18T00:21:00.000-08:00

my best friend court (below) took this pic while we were messing around with some photos and i decided to edit it, whats funny is it unintentionally turned out kinda creepy which is kinda my signature thing (as my photography teacher has duelly noted).

a sheet and a multicolored light..

2009-01-18T00:12:00.000-08:00

i love my friend courtney :) she always wants to do shoots and i am more than willing, today we took a really simple shoot that turned out with some random yet pretty cool shots..we dove into my costume trunk and got out some funny stuff!

decisions...decisions...

2009-01-15T19:42:00.000-08:00

so i found out today that the art institute that is in Salt Lake now has a photography program and im pretty stoked because at one time i was going to the one in Denver and now i have this option, sooo here is my decision, i either go the the U of U which would be cheaper but less focused on photography or i could go to the art institute and do basically just a crapload of photography stuff which i really really want. My mom and I are going to an open house on monday to see what its all about...i hate making these decisions haha i thought i was finished with this when i graduated high school :S hehe oh welllll

because i can :)

2009-01-15T14:55:00.000-08:00

So when I really bored and slightly artistic I set up my camera with a self timer and take pictures of myself...think of it as getting what i want with the materials i have. I love editing photos and ive been told that i have an "urban outfitters" approach to pictures that have models included.

Oregon and a New Semester

2009-01-06T22:47:00.000-08:00

These are some older photos i took with my Nikon D40 over the summer during a family vacation to the Oregon Coast. It's one of my favorite places on earth and there are so many photo opportunities. :]

I probably wont be posting anything new for a little bit...this semester is a little more hectic for me and its only the second day lol but i do have a special problems photography course so you definately will be seeing some more advanced stuff plus some of the art that i will be attempting in my painting and advertising illustration classes.

Rebecca

2008-12-31T12:32:00.000-08:00

This is my good friend Rebecca that I always take pictures of, she does such an amazing job with the "serious" look. These images were taken in Helper, Utah with my new Nikon D90, these were also edited with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, I plan on getting Lightroom soon because i love it so much more but Elements does a descent job for sure.

Something Old Something Brand Spankin New...

2008-12-31T00:34:00.000-08:00

Helper Utah is really one of my favorite places to take pictures, it's filled with so much history and art but it still hasn't reached the tourist trap status. Previously i have been using the Nikon D40 6 Megapixel DSLR (I'm a huge Nikon fan). Luckily for this Christmas my amazing parents surprised me with the brand spanking new Nikon D90 (so new the "how to" books for it don't come out until february and march). These pictures above and from now on will be taken with this camera, it is a 12 megapixel DSLR with a Nikkor lens that has VR as well. needless to say i am stoked and more than happy to know that my parents believe in my ability to make this my career :]. The results are fantastic, there were some glitches but it was due to my lack of knowledge of suck a ballin camera haha.

From now on I'm going to try and keep my blog up to date so look out for new stuff!

Bathtime

2008-12-31T00:31:00.000-08:00

Oh man i love this picture...it was bathtime in the kitchen sink at Grandmas and this great shot came out of it.

Kaylee :]

2008-11-20T14:13:00.000-08:00

so for my second senior photo shoot we went around the back alleys of price and took some really great shots :]

These arent all of them but i figure they were some of my favorites!

WARNING SEMI-SCARY IMAGES

so for my digital photography class we were finally given the assignment of: scary. i hereby entitle myself the queen of macabre, my good friend Jenna Jeppson is so willing to do anything for me and so a brought out the bottle of blood and she stuck her hands right in it! lol.

Some Favorites...

2008-10-27T15:59:00.000-07:00

These are truly some of my favorite photos I have ever taken, we had to take them for my digital photography class and we edited them with Adobe Lightroom which i love.

I plan on putting these photos in the student art show at the end of the year and im even going to see if i can sell them.

(photos contain metadata please do not copy)

Photshoot Anyone?

So i LOVE doing photoshoots, whether they be for seniors, families, or just for fun. I totally believe that practice makes perfect so thats why i do them so much. You really have to see your growth in such a field and because it is such a visual thing you can totally see it.

I'm going to the U next year and I dont need a portfolio but I am still working on one that I can have for jobs and other things.

This is where you come in! If you are interested please let me know!

The prices will range anywhere from $30-$50 depending on what you would like to do so please let me know!

Annie :]

2008-10-27T15:02:00.000-07:00

A couple of weekends ago I got the opportunity to take my first senior photos! Her name is Annie and she is from the Price area and she is so pretty!

I was so nervous because this is the first time i have charged anyone for a shoot. I think that i am finally ready and have enough experience to where i can.

They really loved them though! they ordered a lot and it came out to around $100 which is GREAT!

These are some photos i have taken recently of my sister and her cute little family. We just went to a local park and had a great time climbing trees and finding great photo opportunities.

If you are interested in family photos i am willing to do them as well just let me know and we can get pricing figured out.

Updates and Seniors...

2008-10-19T21:03:00.000-07:00

ATTENTION!!

ok so i cant really get into the whole blog thing but i just wanted to let everyone know something...

i am doing senior photos!!! i just had my first shoot for this yesterday and it went great, i will try to post them soon so keep looking.

so here is the pricing...

there will be a standard $50 sitting fee on ALL shoots...

from there you have two options, i can either A) give you a cd with the pictures you have selected for me to edit. or B) I can have the pictures sent off (which would probably be the best choice).

if you choose option A, after the shoot you can choose X amount of photos for me to edit and PRESTO! you get a cd with them on it... OPTION A WILL COST $75 TOTAL

if you choose option B, after the shoot we will figure out a photo package that best fits you then i will edit the images you choose for the package and send them off, then i should get them back in about a week...OPTION B WILL COST $50 + PRICE OF PRINTING (price of printing usually comes out to $20 or $30)

I use a site called shutterfly and they are really dependable and should get your shots back within a week or two.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! im free most weekends and Mondays/Wednesdays after 2:30. you can either message me or call me/text me at 435-820-6413

once you contact me we can disscuss your shoot..(what you want to wear/ where you want them taken) im willing to do most anything so please let me know :]

as far as traveling goes im willing to travel up north under reasonable conditions considering the standard sitting fee will move up depending on how far i have to travel.

im really willing to do anything and if you want to see more of my photos please check out my myspace page it is under photography by stephanie koss :]

thanks everyone!

"Emotional"

2008-09-03T20:09:00.000-07:00

Here's another photo of my mask..i love it, i tried to make this look very vintage and somehow it reminds me of the Phantom of the Opera.

So for my outdoor photography class our first assignment was to take an "emotional photo". I thought this was pretty emotional and it was taken outdoors so there ya go! lol

A Day For Pictures

2008-08-30T15:20:00.000-07:00

So my parents are out of town for the weekend so im here at the house, a little bored, when i get the idea to take some pics (wow genius). The pics i am posting today are of some of my favorite things...antiques and they are all apart of my collection. I really hope you enjoy these because they are some of my favs :]

"The Jokers Henchmen"

2008-08-29T21:46:00.000-07:00

so these are a few of my favorite photos that I have taken in the past little while...my parents were so amazing and bought me a really nice flash for my hot shoe and so i had a great idea for a shoot. My dear friend's Jenna and Brie are so willing to do anything for my pics so when i mentioned the words "liquid eyeliner" and "ponyhawks" they were all for it. Well anyways these pics were actually taken in total darkness but with my flash it looked like freaking day haha...i think i will call this set "The Jokers Henchmen"

very new to this...

"my shoes have buttons"

hey everyone :] so im way too used to myspace for this haha, but i decided it would look more professional and have easier access to my pics through a blog like this. Well what is there to say? i love photography with all of my heart, i always have (i even did a science fair project on it a long time ago haha). I have also always wanted to do something with art...I never knew my Grandpa Koss that well and he was an artist so in some silly way i feel close to him when i do this :] ok ok enough with the sappy stuff youre here to see some photos aren't you? well i figured for my first time blog experience i would post some of my latest stuff and then maybe later on get into some of the photo shoots ive done :] oh and if anyone is ever interested in modeling or anything just get ahold of me....ill eventually get the kinks out of my blog when i figure out how it works.
