Mirabel's First Christmas

These shots were taken moments before Mirabel faceplanted (hope grandpa doesn't read this) on the studio floor. She was just fine, but I'm not sure she'll let me take any more pictures of her for a little while! She's growing so fast...All you corny parents were right.

Caught in the Act

We ran across a couple of vandals and documented the whole thing thinking that there would be a bounty on them, or we could blackmail them! Well, that or we found a really cool place to do some engagement photos of a really cool couple. I'm not saying I want someone to come paint on my house or car or anything, but man, graffiti really is cool!

The Very Hungry Catapillar

My wife's favorite book and my lovely daughter come together! The saddest part about the whole thing is that this is the first time that I've caught her with the camera while she's sitting up (my daughter, my wifes been sitting very well for quite some time now). She's growing up way too fast. We're going to go trick-or-treating tonight!!! I'm glad to have an excuse to go again!

Little Monkeys!

I gotta say that these were some of the most fun pictures that I've ever taken. These cousins were absolutely darling in their little monkey outfits. I'm thinking that maybe I might get one of these outfits to wear when I'm monkeying around with the camera!!!

Oh What a Reflection Pond

You gotta love reflection pond shots. Twice as pretty you might say (or twice as bad with me pushing the button once in a while). I really like how the sun was back over the couple's shoulder, really lighting up their backs and left side. Haven't shown the couple yet, but I'm really excited for them to see these shots!

Headshots for MUA friend.

I did some headshots for a friend who is training to be a Make-up artist. The girls were fantastic! Headshots are beginning to become my favorite thing to shoot.

This Is How the Pros Do It!

Poor Mirabel, she gets it whenever I get bored. Here I am in my pajamas thinking, "hmmm, what to do, what to do." Well, I finally found a model who stays in one place as long as I want, so she sees a lot of flashes. Hopefully I'm not killing brain cells here or anything. Good news is I have a lot of great pictures of her. Law of averages I guess!

A couple of shots from this summer.

I was just going through some old pictures for an upcoming bridal show and I came across these. This wedding was in San Diego and it was a blast. The couple was so much fun to work with and the lighting and locations were beautiful all day long. Living in Utah, I don't get to take beach shots too often, so I know that I probably covered every cliche in the book. But hey, they look good. The shot in the bleachers is one of my favorite all time shots. The bride is a cross-country runner at Weber State University and wanted a little bit of school spirit in some of her shots. I'm glad she did, they turned out great.

Some Family Photos

I just finished processing some pictures of a family that I took this last weekend and I can't wait to give them the prints. As corny as it sounds, I love to see the look on people's faces when they see the portraits that they've been waiting for. That alone is almost enough payment for taking the photos, but the money definitely doesn't hurt. These pictures were taken at the Flying J corporate office on 42nd and Harrison. Sounds to me like a strange place to take pictures, but hey, they turned out great!

First Post
Wow! my first blog post. Here I am thrust into the hip new world of internet coolness, hopefully no one realizes that I don't really have any idea what I'm doing. Of course, there's always the very strong possibility that no one will ever read this. If you are reading this, however, I apologize for doubting you and thanks for coming! I am excited to have this blog as a place to share my thoughts and the progression of my photographic style. I hope you find my work enjoyable. Let me know what you think at nic@silverstreetphoto.com or visit my website at www.silverstreetphoto.com. For my first post, I can think of nothing more fitting and beautiful than my new little princess. She turned one month old a couple of days ago. Man how time flies. Lucky for her, the camera is always watching!
