  • 10 Quick Things About me:

    1. I'm addicted to Coke Zero...but I'm working on it.
    2. I believe in smiling. A lot. When someone grins at me, it makes the world brighter.
    3. I own more shoes than drinking cups. I own so many pairs of shoes that if they were all piled on a small goat the animal would likely suffocate.
    4. It's my belief there's no cap on success. It can happen for anyone if they have the desire and willpower to work for it.
    5. I'm an explorer at heart. My goal is to fill my passport with stamps.
    6. Food with wierd names creeps me out. Example: Gnocci.
    7. I believe in true heart-rendering LOVE. I lurrve Mark, my man, my main-squeeze, my hubs...and will till I'm dead and gone.
    8. I spoon my black lab, Bubba, almost as often as Mark.
    9. Cross-fit= LOVE/HATE relationship.
    10. I know miracles happen. I've got four kids that prove it to me daily.

Stucki Family

Meet the Stucki Family.

You know how there are people out there that are just GOOD people? I remember talking to my Dad, and he’d mention someone he knew and he’d say something like, “Oh them, they’re good people.” Dad’s words are the first thing that come to mind when I think of the Stucki family. They’re fun and relaxed. Even though their sweet daughter was shy and reluctant to look at me and my big, fat camera, the Stuckis were calm and easy-going about the whole picture taking process. It’s photography shoots like these that make me think if I ever gave up weddings, I might do alright as a family photographer.

Matt + Rachel {California Wedding Photographer}

You can’t beat a clear sunny day in Oakland, California. I love being a wedding photographer when the weather is perfect and clear. Alright, so I love it any day. Either way, Oakland is always a great location for a wedding. And I’m always willing to pop on over from Utah to capture a special day for a couple that makes me swoon. Everything about Rachel and Matt has the makings of a perfect story. Rachel is this tiny little Californian blonde, and Matt is a brawny surfer from Hawaii. Together they’re sweet and funny and brilliant. I loved spending time with these two and talking about their plans for the future.

Hands down, the best part of the day was when Rachel and Matt shared their first dance. The music started, drifting through the room as all the guests fell silent to watch the couple move across the floor. They swayed and breathed and smiled at each other as if they were the only ones in the room. And really, they’re the only ones that mattered. It made my heart jump.

I adore this couple and their fun summery wedding!

Enjoy the pics and leave me a comment!

Those bubbles rocked my world! What a great choice for a summer wedding. If you’re planning your summer wedding, go for the bubbles. They’re so much fun.

If you’re stopping by, drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you.

Favorite Image? Favorite location to shoot a wedding?

Kendall {Utah Senior Portrait Photographer}

The first thing I noticed about Kendall was her eyes. They’re this amazingly brilliant mix of blue with flecks of green. Stunning, really. She’s so sweet and charming because she doesn’t realize she is gorgeous. I had a blast with Kendall and learning that she loves the Beatles as much as I love Michael Jackson. I loved learning all about her and her plans for the future. As she talked about this old Beatle’s album that she has, it reminded me of a Dr. Seuss quote. It’s one of my favorites and fits Ms. Kendall perfectly. Enjoy the senior pics!

I’ve been bogged down with photo shoots and neglected the bloggy world. Sorry about that, Ya’ll. Well I’m back…and you’re soon to see that I’m back with a vengeance. Prepare yourself for post overload because I have two weddings and eleventy billion seniors to gush about!

I’m going to be taking a couple months off of shooting starting Mid-June, so until then, be warned, the net is about to be flooded with tips and shoots and anything else photography or writerly I can come up with.

Suggestions?

I’d love to hear from you.

Feel free to leave me a comment. Because I love comments as much as Coke Zero. And my dog Bubba. And 3 hour baths.

BY REQUEST

 

This last week I had a chance to work with an amazing new band, BY REQUEST. Katie, the lead singer, has a set of pipes. Dang, can that girl can sing. And, I can’t forget about Tyler. He kills it on the guitar and has an awesome voice as well. You wouldn’t know it from the pics, but it was freezing cold. I had a great time with this band and I’m excited to see where they head next!

Bronson Young | Class of 2013

 

Surprisingly, I tend to do a lot more senior portraits in the spring than in the fall. Which, I’m all for because over the course of a year, people change. I like senior portraits to reflect exactly what each client has achieved and grown into at graduation.

Bronson has accomplished so much! This year he took the state-championship for his weight division in wrestling. Pretty dang impressive if you ask me. And in just a short time he’s about to head off to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Amazing, right? When I think of Branson and all he’s accomplished, and how he is still dedicated to do more, I’m reminded of a quote by Winston Churchill. Enjoy!

This last photo makes me laugh because Branson insisted on taking a photo with “his” truck. Apparently all the brothers in his family have taken their turn driving the vehicle, but Bronson has decided it’s rightfully his. We’ll see what his brothers have to say about that.

Enjoy the week! Summer is on the way.
