This little bunch was awesome to photograph! I actually went to high school with Katherine so it was a sweet blast from the past. She married a writer and professor, David, who wrote The End of the Straight and Narrow. This one is definitely going on my ‘books to read’ list!
Their boys, Galen and Hayden, were all smiles, giggles, and silly faces. Little boys are seriously the best! I love Galen’s red hair and zany attitude. Hayden found joy in the smallest of things, like the rocks he found on the ground, and I was able to capture the truest of smiles.
About halfway through our session, Katherine’s family met up with us so we could finish out the morning with the whole crew. I love seeing kids having fun with their grandparents. Even though they don’t get to see each other very often, because they live in different states, they still share a special bond.
Thanks you guys!

One great thing about going to Raleigh was that I had the chance to meet Tina and Scott! I am photographing their wedding in July up in Blackfoot, ID. They are both living in Fayetteville, NC (about an hour South of Raleigh). As soon as I planned my trip I contacted them to see if we could meet up and do an engagement session. I am now even more excited for their wedding!
Tina has dark red hair and electric blue eyes that compliment her fun personality. Scott is in the military over there and has a fantastic grin. They seriously fit together perfectly. It all started 4 1/2 years ago when Scott went to the bar that Tina worked at. Scott was head over heels from the get-go and it only took Tina 6 months before she agreed to go out with him. They’ve been dating ever since.
These guys are a hoot to be around, especially with Scott’s sense of humor. It was all laughter and love. Thanks for taking the time to drive up to meet me :)

Dylan is a rambunctious, silly, candy-lovin’ boy who made my night yesterday. I know I’ve said this before, but kids are seriously the BEST subjects to photograph. They always act how they feel. No fake smiles, only genuine moments. Dylan was a handful, but a joyful one. He was so excited when he saw the water tower and wanted to climb it…he was so stinkin’ cute!
Jamie and Pat are sure in for a treat when their 2nd baby is born this August :) Thanks guys for spending time with me so we could capture your beautiful family!

I met Debra about a month ago at an open mic night where she mesmerized me with her jazzy tune called Waiting. I was thrilled when we set up this photo shoot. It was fun to search out new backgrounds with bright colors, especially since Debra was up for anything. And, I just have to say this, doesn’t she remind you of Elizabeth Reaser? Yes, I am a fan of Grey’s Anatomy and she will also be Esme in Twilight. Debra has beautiful porcelain skin, dazzling blue eyes, and soft curls that could make any girl jealous. Thanks Debra!

I was so excited for this photo shoot! Tanya and Michelle are the winners of our Who Do You Love photo contest from February.
These girls are a blast to be with and are so cute! I wished we’d had all night to shoot. Plus, I loved the locations we found. In fact, as I was driving to meet them, I saw out of the corner of my eye all these yellow garage doors. Boy, was that place cool or what? I especially loved the bright yellow with their bold red and purple shirts.
And here’s a funny story for you. Turns out that Al is Michelle’s great uncle. She said that Al is really only 93…I’ll have to give him a hard time for lying about his age ;) What a small world!
Tanya is getting married in July and Michelle is attending grad school in Germany, so this was a perfect chance to get photos of these two.





















P.S. This is Tanya’s car. It holds a special place in Michelle’s heart because to get out of the passenger side, she has to roll down the window and open it from outside ;)

Nellie is darling! She’s got this fun, innocent, super cute thing going for her and I loved it. Nellie liked it when she was free to smile and be herself rather than when I was making her be ‘serious.’ Either way, she is a babe! I was excited when we found this old bus and even more excited when we got inside. Man, it sure was dusty, but it was worth it :)

Here are my faves of just Jenna. She is a gorgeous blonde who is spunky, has attitude, and is also fun and playful. I have to say someting about the images of Jenna next to the orange brick wall….she is wearing a ‘tie dress.’ What? You might ask. Yes, a ‘tie dress.’ It’s a dress she made out of ties. I think she needs to start selling these because it was incredible!

On Saturday, my friend Bethany Jackman arranged a photo shoot with Jenna and Nellie. It was SUPER windy! But, they were tough and just went with it. I love how their individual personalities came out in the pics. They are both beautiful! Thanks for spending your afternoon with us crazy photographers who make you do strange things and sit in dirty, nasty places ;)
P.S. I played around with some textures and colors in Photoshop on a few of their pics. What do you think?

This morning, I went with my friend Michelle to introduce her to some cool locations on the West side of Salt Lake. Since it was just the two of us, we both photographed each other. These are my favorites of Michelle. I think she is a babe :)
