Engagements - Courtney & Andrew

2011-07-01T15:55:00.000-07:00

Post #2 for the day! It's another engagement shoot. This time with Courtney & Andrew. Courtney is a very good friend of mine and Andrew is just about the nicest guy you could meet. They both cooperated with me and were fantastic. I know I say this about a lot of my subjects, but these two are very photogenic.

There's something in their eyes in this picture that I really like. It's a genuine look of love, if you ask me. (Wow, that sounds cheesy.)

Coming from an artistic perspective, I like how this next picture turned out, mainly because it has a level of depth to the picture, thanks to the background. Your focus is still on the couple, but if you look for more than a couple seconds, you'll feel drawn into the picture. Hooray for self praise!

In case you can't tell, this is my favorite shot to do with an engaged couple. It's about the only time I'll allow the couple to actually kiss while I'm taking the pictures. Normally I don't approve of kissing in engagement pictures, but i'm okay with this because the attention isn't drawn to the couple kissing, it's on the ring.

Again with the level of depth in this picture. Bridges are fantastic for taking pictures, especially when you get to use them as perspective lines. I don't really like the color of this bridge, but I guess with all the green trees and such around it, it fits well for the location.

Well, there they are. I really like them. Just as a quick story, Courtney and Andrew were the first people I've photographed that actually noticed the weird positions I get myself in when I'm taking the pictures. I always joke that I get into stranger poses than my subjects. Courtney couldn't handle it and was laughing at me the whole shoot. I guess it made for some good, natural smiles though.

Let me know what you think of the pictures in the comments.

Engagements - Teagan & Matt

2011-07-01T15:42:00.000-07:00

Well, time for an update to this blog. I've got a couple sets of pictures to post today. This one is the engagement pictures I took for Teagan. If you have been following my photography for long enough, you'll recognize her from some of my older shoots. Teagan and Matt were wonderful subjects and they're both incredibly photogenic. This was just a good shoot.

I really like this next one. Not sure why.

Matt pulled this face and I told him to hold it so I could get a shot of it. Turned out really funny.

There's that face again...

Well, there they are. This is just a small sample of the pictures. As usual, I took way too many of each pose in the hopes that I would get something good. What do you all think? Let me know in the comments.

Becky & Drew - Temple

2011-01-12T11:02:00.001-08:00

Well, I think I've figured out how to make my pictures show up on the posts in the order I want them in. You have to upload them backwards and backwards. It makes sense to me now.

Here are the Temple pictures for Becky and Drew. They were married at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It was a beautiful day for pictures. I really like how these turned out.

So, what do you think? How do you like them? Let me know in the comments.

Becky & Drew - Reception

2011-01-12T10:46:00.001-08:00

Before I introduce this post, let me just say; yes, I know these pictures are terribly out of order. Blogspot is super glitchy at work and that's where I was when I posted these. Sorry.

Well, it's been quite a while since I posted on this blog! I've still got pictures from last year I need to put up here, but just haven't had the time. I know I say that in every post, but it's true.

These pictures are from Becky and Drew's wedding reception. It was a new experience for me shooting indoors, but I think they turned out pretty well. There's a lot on this post, so bear with me until the end.

Well, there they are. I really like how they all turned out. The people at the reception couldn't have been nicer or more cooperative with me.

Becky and Drew: I wish both of you the best in your new life together.

Karen Staley - Just For Fun

2010-09-28T10:14:00.000-07:00

I realized that I hadn't done a post of just pictures from the shoot I did with my dear friend Karen right before she left on her mission. This shoot was just for fun and I'm really happy with how they all turned out.

I absolutely love it when the wind cooperates with me.

Can you tell I like this red door?

This umbrella is just so cool. I had just bought it earlier that morning. I'd say it was a good purchase.

This was me experimenting with a technique I found in a book. I like how it turned out.

Once again, I love when the wind decides to just gently blow someone's hair.

Well, there's just a few of my favorites from the shoot. There's a whole bunch more posted on my Facebook page. Just do a search on Facebook for Bryson Baham Photography and it'll come up. Let me know what you think of these in the comments!

Nate & McKell Engagements

2010-09-16T11:53:00.000-07:00

It's about time that I updated this blog, don't you think? I think so.

These shots are from the engagement session I did with my friend Nate and his fiance, McKell. We shot these up in the more historic part of Ogden. I've wanted to shoot there for a while, so I'm glad I finally got to. I'm really pleased with how these all turned out.

They're both just so photogenic. I loved it!

We did quite a few in this little alley. It was just a good place to shoot.

This next one is probably my favorite from the whole session. I usually prefer smiles, but I just really like how this one turned out.

And I usually have a strict 'no kissing' rule in my engagement pictures, but I guess an on-the-cheek kiss isn't so bad.

Well, there they are. I'm quite pleased with all of them. Let me know what you think of them!

Sneak Peek!

2010-06-29T14:23:00.000-07:00

So, I was posting some of these pictures on my Facebook page, and decided that I'd give a sneak peek of them here. I have a lot more pictures of Karen to post, but I really wanted to show you these ones before too late.

I love the fact that the wind decided to blow through her hair right as I took this next shot.

So, I found this umbrella a couple hours before the shoot and loved it. I'm totally going to use it in more shoots. I was experimenting with zooming in on the shot while I held the shutter open for this shot. I really like how it turned out.

These next few shots are from an older shoot of mine. It's of my brother and his wife and their little baby boy. We went up a local canyon for these shots and it was worth it.I found out, once again, that babies are really hard to take pictures of. They just won't cooperate. This next one is so precious.
Well, there's my sneak peak for you! I hope you like them all!

Sammi & Alex - Engagements

2010-04-28T11:51:00.001-07:00

Going along with my last post, I also found some Sammi's engagement shots that were lost in the great hard drive crash of '09. Again, these are from Facebook, so they're not the highest of quality, but at least they're here.

These were all shot at a waterfall up a local canyon. It was beautiful there. I'd like to shoot there again.

I think this next one might be my favorite from the shoot. It's just very romantic looking.

For a good portion of these pictures, I was standing in the water, which was super freezing. But it was worth it.

There's some of my work with engagement pictures. Let me know what you think!

Sammi - Bridals

2010-04-28T11:43:00.000-07:00

So, do you remember how my hard drive crashed last August and I lost all my photos up to that date? That was a tragic, tragic day. But, in my browsing on Facebook, I found that Sammi had posted some of her bridals that I had taken. Granted, they aren't very high quality, but I figure it's better than nothing. So, here are her bridals.

I really like this next one.

For some reason, I really like this next pose. It just seems more... fun.

So, there's my first try at bridals. Let me know what you think of them!

Coming Soon! Again!

2010-04-22T11:02:00.000-07:00

Okay, I'm at work, so I can really only do a Coming Soon post today, since the only pictures I have access to are the ones I've posted on Facebook. So, here's some of the stuff I've been shooting recently.

First off, another shoot with the lovely Teagan.

Next, some missionary pictures for my friend, Aleina.

Karen was getting ready to leave on her mission, so I asked her if I could take some shots of her before she left. They turned out really good.

And, finally, the ManCave Shoot.

This shoot was easily the one I've laughed the most on.

So, that's what I've been up to, photography-wise. Let me know what you think of it and I promise I'll have the full sets up soon!

Model: Andrew Baham

2010-02-16T11:28:00.000-08:00

Alright, it's time for an actual update and not just a Coming Soon post!

This post is of my little brother and his guitar. It's at that location behind a local theater that I mentioned. (By the way, I've done 2 other shoots at that location since this one. Those shots will also be coming soon.) This was my first "prop shoot", and I think it turned out pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.

I love this red door.

There was also this great old elevator.

Well, that's all I'm going to post for this shoot. Just thought I'd let you all know that I actually have some older pictures to post. I lost all of my old work when my hard drive crashed, but thanks to people posting some of my work on their Facebook pages, I was able to get a few of my old shots back. They're not high quality, but I plan to post them anyway.

Salt Flats Campout

2010-02-12T12:21:00.000-08:00

Okay, I'm at work, so the only pictures I have access to are the ones I've posted on Facebook. So, I decided to post some from the campout I went on last year. We went down to the Salt Flats (By Wendover) and spent the night. In the morning we went on a rather long hike to find some caves. All in all, it was a great camping trip.

These pictures were really just for fun and so I could remember the campout.

Okay, I have to explain this picture. Janalyn had on a fanny-pack and had 2 or 3 sweaters wrapped around her waist which made her look like she had a huge... well, you know.

Hope you all liked this post! Let me know what you think of the pictures. I will have more posted in the next few days!

Another Coming Soon!!

2010-02-07T23:45:00.000-08:00

I know this isn't a full post, but it's the best I could do at this time of night. I will be posting more from the shoots when I get a chance.

First, my little brother wanted some shots done. We found this great alley behind a local theater. It's one of my new favorite locations!

Second, the Hackley Family wanted some shots done, so we went to another of my favorite locations; Layton Park.

Let me know what you think of them!

I promise to have more up soon!

Coming Soon!

2010-01-28T12:02:00.001-08:00

Here is just a sample of the shots I still need to post.

First: The Lovely Laura Denhalter

Next was an all day shoot with Teagan Norseth & Mikayla Hackley. We did 3 different outfits for each of them!

I'll try to get the rest of these shoots up as soon as possible. I've also got a pictures from a shoot I did of Mikayla's whole family which I'll try to get up soon as well. I've also got some to post from a shoot I did with my brother's family back in October.

A New Start

2010-01-26T10:33:00.000-08:00

Well, I know I already have a photography blog, but I decided to give myself an easier to remember blog address. I'm not sure why, but this one was not available when I created my old photo blog. But, now that it is, I decided to take it. It's been a while since I posted any pictures on my old blog, which is mostly due to me not having much time to post them. But, with this blog, I'm going to try my hardest to get pictures up here and get my name out there.

Here's just a sample of some of my older work. I'll have more of my newer stuff up soon.

So, that's just a sample. I hope you like it. I should have a new post up within the next week or so. (When my internet gets connected again.)
