Shoot from Yesterday!

This was a fun shoot from yesterday! Missy and her kids. In her backyard is this awesome red barn. We did some pictures over by it. Wow does she have a very energetic son and a daughter who loves to have her picture taken! It is always fun when kids are involved in the picture! I have had the opportunity to photograph some other events for her and her family before, so it was fun to yet again go back and do some pictures of her and her kids. Her husband is out helping fight the war, and I am sure he has loved seeing all the pictures she has showed him! We moved over to her yard after, and the fall leaves have all fallen down to the ground. The kids sure loved playing in them and having their picture taken in them! It was a really fun shoot!

Weekend

Over this last weekend I had a lot going on! Among the few shoots I had, this was one of them. This is Holly and her son Evan. For this shoot we were up on the south side of the Salt Lake Valley. The fall colors are nice right now, and there is not a lot of time left for fall colors. It was also a very nice weekend, which always makes it easy to do shoots because no one is freezing and shivering while pictures are being taken. I just hope the colors stay for a couple of weeks to come for some upcoming shoots!

Blake Shaffer Skateboarding

I had the chance recently to shoot my cousin skateboarding. I am not used to shooting sports too much so it was fun getting out of the "norm" of portrait style shooting. Trying new things is how we grow right? Well we were supposed to go downtown for the shoot, but things changed and we ended up at the Draper skate park. When I got there the skating had already commenced. So I got the camera out and started shooting. I just let them all do what they do and stayed out of the way, but still got shots that I feel are sweet! I would like to get out and shoot some more of this style. Some time soon hopefully, though the weather is probably going to get a bit cold soon.

Kyle and Chiaki's Wedding

I had the great privilege of doing all the photography for my brothers wedding. The wedding took place on 10.10.09. His now wife is from Japan and is an English major. Some of her family was able to make it from Japan for the wedding. They spoke no english however so it was difficult communicating with them if there was no one to translate around. They were married at River Oaks Golf Course. It was nice that day but a bit cold. Here are a few pictures from the engagements and the bridals and also from the actual wedding day. It was fun just being the photographer, even if it was my brothers wedding. They were such a fun couple to work with! Thanks for looking.

Chase Lester Photography

Well here I am! A fresh, new blog for the world to read. I recently decided to jump on board with the blogging. My name is Chase Lester. I am a professional photographer that lives in Utah. I have shot mainly portraits and weddings, but dont mind stepping out side of those bounds when the client has a certain request of something to be photographed, such as other types of events. I love to take pictures. Its a fun way to express myself! I would love to do some pictures for you, or you and your family. Fall is a great time to have your family portrait taken! The colors wont last much longer though. Hope to see you around the blog!

I cant leave without showing you a pic! This is a unique self protrait of myself (plenty of work to be shown from clients to come though!

Would you like a unique self portrait like this? Come up with an idea and lets make it happen!
