LCA + [school portraits]

I had the priveledge of shooting Lighthouse Christian Academy's yearbook portraits this year. I had SOOO much fun!!! I absolutely LOVE these kids! This is the school that I graduated from, formerly known as "New Life Christian School". I spend quite a bit of time volunteering at the school; I teach an art class on Mondays and I'm there every Chapel service helping out with music, etc. I was absolutely THRILLED when I was asked to take the school pictures! =) Here are a few shots from the set... 

Enjoy! =)

spinning around + [tulsa state fair]

I shot this image on a chilly night last week at the Tulsa State Fair. I'm LOVING this cooler weather! =) I wanted to show the movement of the swings along with the beeeee-utiful colors of the lights. Dropped down my shutter speed and WAAAAHHHLAH!!! =) This photo reminds me of life... Sometimes it just keeps on spinning, never giving us a chance to catch our breath! Oh well, better busy than not, huh?

Adios,

Whitney =)

SHEBANG!!! + [newscope marketing]

Recently I shot some photos for a company called Newscope Marketing for the Tulsa State Fair. They're a great group of people located in Granbury, TX. They travel all over and head up the marketing for Ford Motor Company. I've been lucky to work with them for five years now, this year they wanted me to do some photos for their website, etc. I had a blast shooting for them, looking forward to working with them in the future! =)

Toodaloo!!

Red Fork Art Gallery & Studio +{soundslide}

I had the privilege of working with some wonderful people over at the Red Fork Art Gallery over the last few weeks. Their shop is located on Southwest Boulevard, right across the street from Ollie's Restaurant. I used the project for a school assignment for my Photojournalism class. The pictures were shot with a Nikon D40x and the audio was recorded with my iphone. I totally enjoyed working on this project and I'm looking forward to doing more like this in the near future... Next semester's going to be fun! =)

-Whitney

Shelbycakes, her's my FRIEND!!!! + {schoooool stuff} + {TOMS!!!!}

Now then... Shelby, I love Shelby. She's a favorite friend. She bought me Tom's for my birthday, member? I got them in a few days ago and I LOVE them!!!! LOVE LOVE L-O-V-E them!!
(mine are the red ones...)

We hung out tonight..... Had us a blast, yes sirreeeeey bob!! She modeled for me again, (it's her favorite thing) for a school assignment. I'm SUPER trying to get my work caught up. EEEEEEEK. Anyways, these were for my Studio 2 class... A person with a computer. Enjoy! =)

We had an assignment to shoot the alphabet and then create a soundslide presentation out of the pictures. This is what I came up with... I LOVE soundslides!!! This was my first one and I reallllly enjoyed putting it together! I'm working on LOTS of stuff, no more classes this summer and portfolio review on THIS WEDNESDAY. Holy WowCow. I'm allllllmost caught up, cranking these last few assignments out!! How does time fly sooooo super-deeeeee-duper fast?!

Toodles!

Somebody hit SNOOZE!!!! + {composite}

If you're like me, you probably think it would be nice to have an "Eject Button" installed on your bed. For as long as I can remember I've never been a morning person. I wish I was one of those people who just jumps out of the bed singing with a big smile on their face buuuuuuuuuut it's usually not that way... =) Anyways, this is a composite that I made for an assignment.

Toodles!!

-Whitney

P.S. I had a filling done today on one of my molars and it HURTS!!!!!!! Think happy thoughts for me!! =)

Fitting Right In + {Editorial Portrait}

I shot this for an assignment for my photojournalism class. This was shot at the Jenks Beauty College. I got the idea when I saw all of the manikin heads through the window. They were awesome to work with, I had a lot of fun! =)

-Whitney

He always gets it right...

I shot this photo a couple of months back and recently found it when I was organizing some photos. It was shot with my 18-55mm...before I broke it... =)

Just thinking about how awesome God is. Still trying to let Him unfold His plan in my life. When He unfolds the rose, He always gets it right.

{a peck of pickled peppers} + toddler session

The lovely miss Piper and I spent the afternoon together yesterday, this child is BEAUTIFUL!! She was so much fun!! It rained for a little bit but as soon as it stopped we ran outside and snapped a few pictures. Looking forward to another session soon!!!

It's GOOD to be home from Colorado!! I survived the 14 hour van ride home, THANK THE LORD!!! I'm back in school, working on getting caught up on everything...

Currently I'm sitting in a conference room waiting for a busload of other young people to get here. Justin's serenading me with his guitar, I'm fixing to fall asleep!! We start the drive back to good ole Tulsy town in approximately 7 hours. Yay. I can't wait to spend 12 hours on the van again... :-) seriously tho, Heritage was life changing. God is amazing. Can't wait to be home.

Let's take a dip!! + {illustrative}

Howdy y'all!! =) Yesterday I did an underwater shoot with Brooklyn, we had a BLAST!!! It was about a hundred and sixty degrees outside so it was tempting to not get all the way in with her!!!!! lol! This was my first try at an underwater type shoot, it was so much fun. Kudos to Shelby for letting us use her pool, Cookie for assisting, and KK for the inspiration and help!!

Cheers!!
Whitney

I'm BAAAAAACCCCCK!!!!!

Ugh. So I've kinda been gone for a few minutes, hours, days. Sorry about that. The artist's pitfall. More on that later... =( I'm back now!!!! =D

A few things have happened since we last talked.

We had youth camp TWO weeks ago, it was A M A Z I N G!!!!!! God moved in a mighty way and there were quite a few people who received the Holy Ghost for the first time!! There's a few pictures below...

In other news, my birthday was FIVE days ago!!!! I'm getting SUPER old. Got the cane out and polished it yesterday... ha! Oh, and if you still haven't sent me my gifts, money, cards, etc, email me for my home address!! =)

Oh, and I'm going to Colorado for a week too, pretty excited about that! =D

Lots of updating coming soon. Lots and lots and lots.

Much Love!

Whitney

Me and THE CUTEST little dude I've ever seen!!!!! EVER! Look how much he's grown!!!!! I think it's time to photo him again, don't you!?! =)

Me and my bubs on Pirate Day, hence the hook. I had a parrot and the whole nine yards on earlier in the day!! Aye aye matey! =)

The Hurleys {family session}

Sup yo!? Recently got a chance to shoot a really awesome, fun family! I always have great clients, go figure. =) Mandie has been wanting to do a session for a while now, and we finally got a chance to get together! This session was out on their property which is BEAUTIFUL!! We pulled out the tractor and shot a few on it too... (Thanks for not running me over Ben!) I was a little scared of the beast!! =) We're supposed to do another session sometime soon, can't wait!! Bihnson & Bentley were SO much fun to work with, and mom and dad weren't too bad either! Enjoy!

{Lifestyle Portraits} + Little Miss Taylor

Everyone meet Taylor... She's a great little friend of mine! We hang out at least a couple of times a week usually. Sadly enough, I'm pretty sure the basis of our relationship is the fact that I have an iphone... Sheesh! Friends these days! =] She has two other sisters who are just as beautiful as she is! This picture was taken outside on the playground of our church. Shot with a Nikon, D40x and a 70-200mm lens.

Hope y'all are having a great week!! =)

{Cruisin' for a Bruisin'}

Shot this for an HDR assignment at school... This was taken while I was driving, (with my new lens mind you... and that thing's HEAVY!!) definitely not the safest thing I've ever done, but I'm just hard core like that. Pretty glad I didn't die though... =) Totally played super-creeper too!! Saw the car and followed them for a couple of blocks to get the shot. Don't try this at home kids!! =)
