New Logo

Hi, everyone!  I hope you're doing well.  I decided recently my website needed a little facelift, as well as a new logo.  Be sure to check out my website Jana Shoe Photography, and let me know what you think. 

Baby Stuff....

Here is a series of four pictures of my nephew, Isaac.  He is such a cute little man and I love him to pieces!!

I also took some photos at my friends Dustin and Kristin's baby shower.  Drew and I are so excited for the two of them and can't wait to find out in May if they are having a boy or a girl.

Internship Fun!

I'm having a blast during my internship with Erin L. Hubbs.  We have been on several interesting photo safaris where I was able to photograph a dead crow, as well as some baby bird eggs (no worries, the eggs had already fallen from their nest and there was no hope left).  Here are some images that I have been working on the last several weeks.  Let me know what you think!

Chocolate vs. Fruit

In my bio-comm object lighting class we had to photograph chocolate and have it portray being healthy.  I decided to shoot chocolate vs. fruit on a scale, showing that chocolate is better for you.  I wanted the concept to be very clean and simple.  This is the shot I decided to go with.  Let me know what you think.

A Day at the Vineyard

Each week in my bio-comm photojournalism class I had to shoot a 3 picture package and build a layout using Indesign.  I went to Rocky River Vineyards in Midland, NC to shoot this layout and was pleased with the images I shot.

Panoramic

For my digital imaging class, we had to shoot a 180 degree panoramic.  I went to Pfeiffer University in Richfield, NC because I knew the leaves would look very nice in the reflection of the water.

Fuji

I recently got a new puppy, Fuji, who of course had to have a name related to photography.  While I was at a park shooting my panoramic shot for my digital imaging class I let Fuji run around, and here is a shot I got while she was being still for a few seconds.

Water Assignment

In my bio-comm object lighting class we had to shoot an assignment with water.  I tried several different setups and objects, but ending up going with an apple, a colorful plate, and a kitchen faucet.  Thanks to Drew for being patient with me for 2 hours, while I was trying to get the perfect shot.  Here is my favorite from the session.

I also used some filters in photoshop and came up with this alternate image.

Here is a different crop of the above image.  Which do you like best?

Bi-Polar Pharm Shoot

In my biocomm object lighting class, I had to shoot a pharmaceutical that told the view how they are to feel about the drug.  I used lorazepam, which is a prescription drug used to treat bi-polar disorder, and I wanted my viewer to see that when using this drug you no longer have a feeling of darkness.  The second shot depicts how a person feels tired and out of it when they are no longer taking the drug.

Trent & Michelle

My cousin Trent and his girlfriend Michelle wanted some cute pictures taken of them when she was in town from Florida.  Here are a few of my favorite shots from the session.  They were awesome to work with and a lot of fun!
