Winter is Here

U-Pick Red Barn Pumpkin Patch

This weekend Todd and I decided to go pumpkin picking for the first time! It was so fun! We had planned on meeting friends there but we left early to take pictures before the sun set. Our friends ended up not showing so we just went to dinner with them instead. The barn is run by 3 cousins local to Idaho Falls. They have a train ride that goes around the farm and also a giant stack of hay that all the little kids were climbing on. Inside the barn they have all sorts of different fall treats and the cutest little barn kitten! Outside is the pumpkin patch, corn field, produce and a chicken coup!

Yellowstone 2016

For Todd's birthday we took a trip to Yellowstone with his parents who flew up for the weekend. It was both of their first times to Yellowstone and Todd and I were so excited to show them around! They were super excited to see the buffalo, luckily a herd was laying in the fields next to the roads so we were able to jump out and be super close to them.

Double Exposure: First Attempt

Today while scrolling through Pinterest I had the sudden thought of "I wonder how I do double exposures?" I always assumed it was some fancy camera trick. But it is actually just a setting in most advanced cameras. I was excited to see "Canon 70d" on the list of cameras that included the Multiple Exposure feature. So quickly I made Todd drive us to the gardens at BYU-I (because that is the only photogenic place I can think of in Rexburg) and began shooting for about two hours. Todd of course played Pokemon Go and caught up with a long lost friend. It was a perfect day!

Here is what I came up with since I didn't have any real people to model for me. Also shout out to Todd for being the best husband ever for learning how to take portrait photos for me in just one afternoon!

 

Kind of bummed about how this exposure turned out, but it is one of the only good pictures I have of myself so naturally I had to include it.

 

I used a near by fountain to create the watery effect for this one. 

 

Another fountain for this effect.
