Studio photography
A few years ago I worked at Sears Portrait Studio. Photography had previously been a hobby of mine, but at Sears I got the idea to run my own business. It made me sad to see people pay $150+ for only 10 photos on a CD (taken by a photographer with 3 weeks of training) and a few enlargements. I hoped to earn more than $7/hr for myself and not charge as much for my clients. That's how I got started. I've really enjoyed learning about many different areas of photography - I try to focus on something new each month (engagements, bridals, weddings, headshots, action, babies...) and this month I did a mini studio in my tiny little apartment. It was a little bit pathetic in our living area: I pushed back the couches, hung up sheets on the wall, and searched through my stuff to gather props.Some of the results:
Baby Cameron and Brother
Baby Sebastian and Family
Baby Lydia
After the sorry attempt for a studio that week (even though the photos turned out nicely, I was still embarrassed to invite people in :D) Thomas and I moved to a 2 bedroom apartment in American Fork. I will be running a studio out of our second room. $50 sessions through the month of June! Feel free to contact me, as always, for more information. And I promise this one will look a little bit more professional :)
Updated Website!
I have a wonderful husband who recently studied up on web design to help improve my site (the transition from my using iweb to his coding everything). And as of yesterday, it is much improved! Check it out:whitneylewisphotography.com
Feel free to give back any feedback (even if it isn't all positive) so I can fix problems, and pass on complements to Thomas as we continue to update and improve it.
Emery
Emery is the most adorable kid I have ever seen (this will probably change once I have children of my own). We just went for a walk and took photos along the way. I never knew a scowl could be so cute! She kept running to the flowers or grass in order to rip off whatever she could to bring home to Mommy.
Unfortunately for Thomas and me, this wasn't just a normal photoshoot. I took Emery on a walk while her mother packed for the move. Our neighbors Brit and Aaron moved to Cedar City (and they took their Emery with them! sigh...) We will miss this family very much.

Rachel and Fil
I haven't edited any of their other photos yet, but I had to include this! I was playing with the continuous shutter speed on my camera and asked Rachel and Fil to make as many silly faces as they could as fast as possible. This was the result after 3 seconds of faces :)
Skyler and Tiffany
Skyler called me and told me he had just gotten engaged and needed photos done within the next couple days because he was going on a three week tour with the BYU Wind Symphony. We are so lucky it all worked out - I had a photo shoot almost every day that week, and the weather was terrible! We found a cloudy Saturday afternoon, crossed our fingers and drove up Provo canyon. As you can see by the umbrella, the weather wasn't entirely cooperative, but they were such troopers! Despite the cold air and intermittent rain, Tiffany and Skyler were fantastic models.
This was especially fun for me because after we stopped at Bridal Veil Falls, we went to Vivian Park, the same place I had my engagement pictures done!
Dallas Roberts Esthetics
I did a photoshoot for the Esthetics division of Dallas Roberts Academy. It was unlike any experience I've had before. I was little bit intimidated because I only spent 10 minutes getting ready that morning and I don't do anything to take care of my skin or style my hair... but I did get some neat photos :) They were a really fun group of girls and I just walked from room to room to photograph a little bit of everything.
When I was told they wanted to pose for the above photo, I had never heard the name of this device (and don't remember it now) but basically they sandblast your skin to remove dead skin cells. How cool is that!
And one of them was going to have baby! So since I was there anyway... we had to take a couple photos.

Pearson Family at the Tulip Festival
I'm continually introduced to new and interesting things about Utah. This time it was Thanksgiving Point. They have some beautiful gardens, and there is a Tulip festival that lasts about a month at the beginning of spring. Aside from the tulips, there were waterfalls, a children's play area, and some neat architectural structures. It was beautiful!! And it helped to have a good-looking family in front of those flowers :D
