  • Welcome!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog, where I post my latest shoots and the shots I love. It's obvious that I love photography, so here's a few things about me you may, or may not, want to know:
    1. I own more shoes than can fit in my closet. A resolution to this exasperating problem is in seasonal totes. I have a set of summer shoes and a set of winter shoes. If I published the number of pairs I actually own, my hubby might just divorce me. Just know it's enough to kill a small goat if I piled every pair on top of his body.
    2. I teach aerobics. Sometimes I see people at the grocery store or at the Walmart and I wonder how I know them. I either met them at their cousin's wedding, or they look drastically different fully clothed. Most likely it's the latter scenario.
    3. I have an addiction to Diet Coke...but I'm working on breaking it.

Ali | Utah Capitol Bridal Photography . . . Sneak Peek!

Ali’s bridal session at the Utah Capitol was a little more excitement than I bargained for. Let’s just say that getting pooped on by a bird was the least of my problems. I don’t want to bog down your day with a uber-long post, so here’s the best part. Ali’s pics. This is just a sneak peek. There will be more to come. But I couldn’t resist posting a few.

Kali | Utah Senior Photographer

Here’s a sneak peek of Kali’s senior shoot. It was a great break for me to take from the weddings to shoot her Utah senior portraits. We mostly shot around my favorite little town of Pleasant Grove. Even when I asked Kali to lay in the weeds she was game. So you can see how awesome of a girls she is. I love her spunk and sass and sweetness. 

Justin and Andrea | Salt Lake City Wedding Photography

So, I’ll be the first to admit I’m kind of at a loss when it comes to computers. So if you’re a computer wiz, can you answer me this: Where are my blog posts? All the blog posts I put up in the last week have disappeared. I’m not sure where they are or how to get them back. Yeah, I know. I sound like a total dork. But please, I miss them desperately!

Now, on to another post (fingers crossed I don’t lose this one.)

I shot Justin and Andrea on the most beautiful day in March. Salt Lake City was gorgeous for a spring wedding. And I was so happy to be the photographer. There were buds on the trees and some sunshine…just enough to make me happy. You know how I love my sunflare. Thanks Justin and Andrea for letting me share this day with you!

I love everything about this shoot! Gorgeous!! I really love the temple shot with the reflection and all the amazing sunflare!

Alex and McKenzie – sneak peek | Utah Wedding Photography

Today was just one of those days where the weather cooperated perfectly for an engagement shoot near Utah Lake. When we started shooting it was overcast and cloudy. Which is great for even skintones, but not so great when I’m looking for some good romantic sun flare. Well, the weather guys must’ve heard my cursing because just towards the end of our shoot the clouds parted and out popped the early evening sun. And boy, it was gorgeous. It makes me love being a wedding photography, especially when I have awesome places like Utah Lake to shoot at.

Tip of the day: Bring a reflector along with you…ALWAYS! It’s great to bounce in light when there is hardly any light to be had, but it works as shade or fill. Basically, it’s always going to help. Never hurt. So try it out.

Here’s  a sneak peek for Alex and McKenzie. I loved so many of their pics so I’ll be posting again in a few days. Check back then!

Sisters | Utah Senior Portraits

I think these two girls are brilliant.

Besides having numerous talents, these two young women are kind and caring and smart and funny and well, simply enjoyable. I had such a fun time shooting these darling sisters. Unique and charming in their own way, they made me think of my own three sisters. I love all of them, but I tell you, there were days when we were growing up that sometimes I don’t think it came across that way. I laugh when I think of the trouble we used to get into. And the stupid fights we had over filling the gas tank in our Big Bertha of a station wagon. Thanks girls for hanging out with me while I shot Utah senior portraits and making me think of my own crazy siblings!
