failure is my favorite thing

no love lost, no love found

The lovely Teagan and myself spent a Sunday afternoon driving into nowhere's ville looking for an abandoned field. We found many good fields, unfortunately they had fences around them and we didn't think it would be a good idea to jump the fence of a farmer. Thankfully we found a random field that was over grown, perfect. It was literally in the middle of nowhere. And there were kids on dirt bikes near by. I think we hit the boonies on this one. However, with the sun on its way behind the horizon, the lighting was perfect. Next thing I know Teagan has changed six times, shes starting to get cold and I have taken 400 photos. I think this is one of my favorite shoots to date.

Keep watching for more.

youve got me laughing while i sing

Photo shoot with Ms. Sarah deBourcier a couple Fridays ago. Editing is probably one of the most boring past times ever... Guess I picked the wrong career eh? This whole trying to get into Emily Carr, busting my ass every Friday even though I don't have school, is encroaching into my beauty sleep. (And we all know I need that.) But at the end of the day I remember that it's not about getting into Emily Carr, it's about doing what I love. And the lack of sleep, and countless hours of editing, are so worth it to me. So here it is, I know the anticipation is killing you.

Like O like H. I know you love it.

i feel a seperation coming on

Finally now that I am out of school I have loads more time to take some creative shots. The lovely Kristen helped me out with this one, oh and with the help of my high school I was able to finally have some studio space. I wanted to do a self portrait shoot and ended up making it into a little bit of a fashion/self portrait shoot. The second one down of Kristen and I is by far my favorite. I don't know, what do you think? The whole gluing-feathers-to-your-face-thing not the smartest idea, but it made for some great shots. However ripping them, and copious amounts of glue off our eyelashes, at the end of it... Yeah, not so fun. I think we may have lost some eyebrows and eyelashes. Good thing they grow back right?






Oh insomnia, thanks for the effort to get this done, but please, leave me alone.

can't you feel my heart is beating

Shot my first wedding September 4th 2010. First off, congratulations are in order to the lovely Ally and Dylan. I have never seen two people more in love and meant for each other then the two of them.
I must say, you can finally call yourself a photographer once you have shot a wedding. The work that one puts in to it, the stress up until it happens, it's unbelievable. But at the end of the day, it flows smoothly and I get to be a part of the most magical moment in someones life. It was an amazing opportunity that I was so happy to have. Of course, this is only a taste of the day. But you guys can't always have your cake and eat it too. Right?

















Keep it real and keep your eyes open for more from rlupton photography.

everything just looks the same

You'd think that in summer I would actually be able to get stuff done, but life has a way of well... getting in the way. Here's a shoot I did a while ago with the lovely Mrs. Jessica Iida. Unfortunately I haven't quite finished the editing so it's only a little sample to satisfy your taste.








Watch closely. I'll be updating more.
