The Plentiful Gifts of Doug

Okay, so most of you know how amazing my husband is at, well just about every thing. He decides to try something and finds out that he's a natural. Of course when he is interested in something he immerses himself in it. Around the time Evy was born Doug decided to learn about photography. Of course he picked it up right away. He has been practicing and growing in his knowledge and ability. These pictures are just a few amazing photos out of his portfolio. I felt that it was my obligation as his wife to show off his great work! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

The three pictures here are photos that Doug compiled to present the image that you see. In the ally way picture Doug took 6 different photos and combined them. He also added in a few things like the light over the door and the light reflecting down from it. Its amazing to watch him put it all together. Its hard to understand just how much goes into it without seeing the process for yourself.



Doug has had great luck finding models that are willing to pose for an exchange of services. Although I think that they definitely get the better end of the bargain. The girl above is Danny. She has worked with Doug several different times and wants to continue working with him. She loves his photography and his ideas for photos. Its quite a compliment for Doug because Danny has worked with a lot of photographers and of all of them Doug is someone she continues to seek out.
Doug has done a few photos for family as well. Doug loves taking pictures of family and processing them.
As I said before these are just a few of Doug's pictures. He has had the great fortune to have a few paying jobs. He took photos for the local dance troop in town. He also took the photos for the Miss Tintic Pageant this last August. He has been fortunate enough to also have a few families contact him for family portraits. Its awesome to watch him progress and fall even further in love with what he is doing. I am so grateful for my hubby and all that he does for us as a family. I hope he truly knows how amazing he really is. I love you Doug!



For new posts of Evy just continue down. I've been up-dating a little fast so don't miss some great pictures further back. Hope you enjoy!

Can't say I'm suprised---I think all the Barlow's saw the artistic seeds in everything Doug did: his jokes, his music, and now manifest in his photography. That is an absolutely beautiful picture of Ruth, by the way. Everything is clean, and I'll be looking forward to pictures when you guys come out in October! Take Care!
