Meet Julie.

Julie is not your run-of-the-mill woman. She is not only beautiful (I mean, check out her gorgeous complexion and silky hair!) but she is smart and constantly learning. She is inspired by good books and loves to be athletic. Running, tennis, biking, yoga. You name it. She probably does it. Plus she loves cooking and traveling.

Seriously, Julie is amazing and I loved getting to know her a little bit.

Julie claims she doesn’t photograph well, so let her know how gorgeous she looks!

Lyndsi and Mike had their reception at Gardner Hall at the University of Utah. It was my first time shooting an event there and I enjoyed the beautiful architecture and exquisite details of the building. Their colors were red & black, so the tables were adorned black table cloths and red ribbon with gorgeous center pieces of red roses. Everything was tasteful and elegant. It was a wonderful evening!

I have always loved photographing Lyndsi and Mike because they have such a fun and sexy dynamic together. You can feel the love and passion in their relationship. I could have spent all day shooting them except that Lyndsi was turning into an ice cube. Good thing the Joseph Smith Memorial Building has some great places for photos inside where we could all warm up.

And a big thanks to Tara of Winsor Photography for 2nd shooting with me and assisting me!

Lyndsi and Mike were married on January 2, 2010. I’m excited to finally feature them on my blog because they are such a fun, beautiful couple!

Luckily, we had some blue sky to help warm everyone up. Lyndsi and Mike were surrounded by an amazing group of family & friends at the Salt Lake LDS Temple. And, despite the fact that everyone froze in the shade, there was nothing but smiles, hugs, and love.

I know you have all been waiting with anticipation for these. I hope they will not disappoint

I had a blast shooting Elaine last month. She has gorgeous, super long hair like Rapunzel and a killer fashion sense. We almost need to do another session to get in more of her awesome dresses and shoes.

Since we were shooting indoors with studio lights, the setups took longer than I anticipated so there are basically only 2 backgrounds So much for variety…but I do have to thank my friend Chris for letting me shoot at his warehouse. Thanks Chris!

These images are WAY PAST DUE.

Colleen was my last photo shoot of 2009. December 31, 2009 to be exact.

It had snowed the night before and I frantically asked anyone out in twitterville if they wanted to model for me. Colleen agreed and put up with a freezing wind and lying in the cold snow. She was amazing and was totally open my craziness. I love Colleen’s porcelain skin and brilliant eyes against the blue sky that peeked in through the clouds.

What a fun day. Thanks Colleen!

The other day, I went on a hike down in St. George. It was a gorgeous, blue sky day!

For fun, I snapped a few shots of myself, hoping something would turn out.

These are my favorite. What do you think? I want to get a new facebook profile picture up. Which one is your favorite?

It’s not every day I get to photograph a family with 2 dogs. And let me just say, these dogs act just like toddlers: hilarious, entertaining, and challenging, but I enjoyed every second.

The reason why we took their family pictures is because Sabot was leaving the family to become the Utah Police Department’s newest Bomb K9. Sabot is full of energy, doesn’t like to stay in one place, and can entertain himself for hours trying to capture his shadow.

Chloe is your typical little mutt who thinks she’s a lot bigger than her actual size. She loves to play around with Sabot but also has some spunk of her own. She’s quite the jumper!

One of my New Years Resolutions is to do one photo shoot a month that is for me – something I organize, a time to be creative, an opportunity to have fun without the stresses of pleasing a client.

This month, I was lucky enough to photograph the gorgeous Elaine. I only shot her this morning, but I am so stoked about these images, I decided to post one for fun. More to come soon….
