My wife rocks!
Documenting a birth story from my own prospective was more difficult than I thought it would be. Usually, all I can think about is taking pictures, but when it was my own son all I could think about was how beautiful he was. That aside I am more than happy with the pictures I did get.
Sorry it was a lot of pictures, but its my own kid so get over it.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas.
This shoot has been sitting in my to-do list for months now. So long, that I can already see an improvement in my pictures.
A while back I seized the opportunity to do a shoot with the designer Keith Bryce. His name might sound familiar, if you are a fan of Project Runway on Bravo. Julie Parker and Keith Bryce, organized seven photographers, including myself, four models, and three stylist to meet at an old sugar factory in North Ogden. We spent a few hours exploring the place, shooting, and just having fun. Out of no where, this dude in a truck pulls up, and starts screaming obscenities, and telling us to get off his property. Before we could even think he whipped out his rifle, from the passenger seat of his truck, and had it pointed at the obviously threatening models. As we cautiously approached this lunatic, he was screaming so hard, spit was spraying all over us. After a few minutes of trying to calm him down, and trying explain to him that we were given permission to be there, we gave up and decided to find a new location. Thankfully we were all able to get out of there unscathed.
When I got home and told my wife the whole story, I also discovered that in the whole confusion, I had also lost an entire 4gb card of pictures. I was more sick about losing those pictures, than I was having a crazy guy point a gun at my face.
Crazy story aside, I had a lot fun and learned a lot about what goes into a fashion shoot. I also think I got a few cool pictures to show from it.
I’m way excited to post these pictures of my little brother. He just got his LDS mission call to Kiev Ukraine. I’m so proud of him and know he will be a great missionary.
Be sure to contact me for your own personalized mission pictures.
Halloween is for sure one of my favorite holidays, and now that my son is getting old enough to really get excited about it, it makes it that much more fun. This year we carved pumpkins, ate spooky pancakes, drank pumpkin shakes, and of course lots of trick-or-treating. Here are a couple pictures of our Batman and our little stinker.
Halloween was a lot of fun but now that its over we can start getting excited about the next big holidays. Give me a call for your holiday family photos. I plan on posting some examples of my wife’s awesome custom holiday card designs as well, so hurry and save a date before we’re totally booked.
Wow, this was a very productive weekend. Six blog posts in two days. We were in San Diego Last week, I’ll post those photos soon, and as you could tell I got a little behind. I had to end it all with some pictures of my two gorgeous kids. The pumpkin season is almost over and I was afraid I was going to miss it.
Hudson is just the cutest little baby. I might be a little biased because he is my nephew, but I’m positive you will agree.
As far as church goes, I have always thought the earlier the better. This year our church has been at 1:00pm. So we are lazy all morning, go to church, and then it feels like the day is over. Last week we were all dressed and ready a little earlier than usual, so we went for a little drive, and found this cool place. I think this would be a great place to use for an engagement session or senior session. Its not a very colorful place so vibrant outfits would work well here. Like all parents I love every picture taken of my kids. I love seeing their personalities stand out in every shot. These are no exception.
If you want to use this place or somewhere similar Please contact me.
I really can’t believe that my little girl is already 1. This little angel defines sugar and spice and everything nice. Nothing makes my heart melt more than a little hug from her. Happy Birthday Sweat Pea.
Here is the birthday invitation My wife, Taryn, designed. She does a lot of custom invitations and announcements. Her wedding stuff is outstanding.
I love living in Utah, and having the ability to drive a few minutes and be on a beautiful lake up in the mountains. Early Saturday morning we did just that, and went to Jordanelle Lake. The water was pretty cold at 8 a.m. but once you crash a few times the water doesn’t seem so cold. I hurt my wrist earlier that week, so I wasn’t able to really go crazy wakeboarding but thats what little brothers are for. Here a couple shots I got of Chase doing flips on the wakeboard and being thrown off the tube.
And of course I can’t help throwing in a picture of my little Sweet Pea.
