Omiphoto Spring Shoot contest

This past Friday, I attended a workshop done by my good friend Omi. I'm in the pursuit of photography and I'm just starting out. I've been blessed to have Omi help me out, she is an awesome photographer. We did a little spring shoot and we sure did get SPRING--it rained. We had beautiful models and there were about 6 of us that were being schooled by Omi. I'm a little nervous--ok A LOT nervous about putting my work out there for everyone to critique, but we all had to submit one shot for everyone to vote on. I met all these wonderful ladies--thanks for a fun night. Big thank you to Omi for her wisdom--I love you! Go by her blog and vote for your favorite http://www.naomimasinaphotography.blogspot.com/. I'm #3 :)

Weekend in Seattle

So this past weekend I tagged along with one of my good friends Omi for some photo shoots in Seattle. Wow was it a culture shock for me. I've been to Seattle once during the Living Legend days at BYU--and of course we didn't get out much. It was just show after show. So, it was as if this was my first time in Seattle. We stayed in downtown Seattle and it was beautiful. The architecture there is amazing and it was far more cultured and liberal then I had expected. I know, I know--I so need to get out more. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and so much prettier then the ones here in Utah. The city is full of joggers which made me feel like I was back in Provo Utah again! Obesity doesn't seem to be a problem in Seattle--there's "organic" everything. I've gotta say the streets drove me crazy and poor Omi was the one driving the whole weekend. There were one ways, round abouts, you'd be driving in one lane and then it would all of a sudden end--it was insane. We spent A LOT of time on the road trying to figure out where we were going, but it was sooo much fun. Omi also took me to eat a crab pot right off the shore and it was sooo onolicious. My only criticism was that the dipping cups for the butter weren't big enough for me--I was basically drinking that stuff. I also met some amazing people in Seattle. I helped Omi with a bridal shoot for the beautiful Rose Ramsey--I hope I make it out for the wedding and the Warner family is such a beautiful family. All the best with the move back to Hawaii. I also had the honor of meeting Pua and Mapuana. You gals rock! Thanks Om for all the laughs. I had a blast!


The only shot I got of Seattle was of the beautiful Seattle people I met so here is the Warner family!
