Welcome to the blog.
My wife rocks!
I was very excited to shoot Matt and Sarah’s wedding for a couple reasons. First they seemed way nice over email, but also because it would be my first full wedding. They decided that the new Draper temple would be a great place to get married, and I agree it was a beautiful day and location. Thanks again for letting me join you on your special day.
FYI I love weddings and am excited to do many more.
I can’t believe I almost forgot to post this awesome family photo session. The Jeppson’s were easy to work with, not only because they are gorgeous, and stylish, but also because they are an all around nice family. Their kids were so fun to work with and just had fun playing outside together. Summer is almost gone now. The morning’s are cold enough to be jacket worthy and its just not hot enough during the day to justify running through the sprinklers. Although the winter isn’t all bad I already miss the summer.
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.
Tyler and Anikah were so fun to work with, and I’m glad we were able to get their last minute shoot in. I had a cancelation that day so it worked out perfectly.
Tyler being an amazing artist for pixar had a lot of artistic input and Ideas. You should check out his blog to see some of his work. Anikah was a natural in front of the camera, with every shot her expression or smile just blew me away. I had a very hard time narrowing down the pictures for these guys. It was even harder to narrow it down for the blog.
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.
I have a bunch of stuff that I need to blog and Heather’s Bridals are a great way to start it off. Heather found this beautiful location up in Park City, and we spent a couple hours taking advantage of all the different backgrounds. There wasn’t a ton of shade but we were able to make it work.
Wow life has gotten busy. I feel like my blog has been so slow lately, and its not from a lack of content. Here is a family session I did a few weeks ago. It was a fun session and I’ll never forget how the mom got the youngest child to smile. She gave him her chapstick and said, “Throw it at mommy”. His eyes would light up and the he would chuck it as hard as he could and bust up laughing. Unconventional but apparently very affective.
I met the Cervantez family because they won a Family photo session with me, from their elementary school fundraiser. Actually DeeAnn, the mom, grew up near my mom’s family. I was hoping to get some good blackmail on my mom but sadly she didn’t have anything. It was fun working with these guys. I was even able to get a good smile out of the oldest son, Garritt, even though his mom said he wasn’t excited to have his picture taken.
This session was so much fun. The fact that these two are best friends, and in love, was very apparent. We were constantly laughing and having fun. It really was a treat, plus I love the results. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe Independence day. Be sure to get some great pictures.
