Taking Leave

2011-06-17T06:55:00.001-06:00

MIA

2011-05-25T09:59:00.001-06:00

Hello everyone! I'm sorry I have been so MIA for this blog! With working 2 jobs and being pregnant this blog has kind of taken a back seat. Things are slowing down now that my jobs are over so I will be posting some pictures of my latest sessions soon :)

Stephanie & Jeff Engagements

The day we were supposed to take this family's pictures it started storming out of nowhere!! I called them to make sure they still wanted to do it and they said "YES!!!" I love it when people are willing to brave the rain for their pictures :) We took these at a family home in Pleasant Grove. Perfect setting for awesome backdrops!

Vanessa & Kevin

2010-06-18T13:18:00.019-06:00

I'm so in love with these pictures!! I was excited when Vanessa said she wanted more of an "urban" look to her photos, it was so much fun taking them. Can I just say how hard it is to take pictures of her hunny who is 6'9" with my little 5'4" frame? It was a challenge to get them both in the shot but it worked out!!

Lacey's Bridals

2010-03-18T10:52:00.018-06:00

This bridal session was quite the adventure! Our first location we had scheduled canceled on us but luckily the Armstrong Mansion let us in at the last minute! Not only that but Lacey and I got a flat tire on our way there!! Lacey was such a good sport about everything and despite all the crazy stuff we had fun! Especially when her groom showed up to see her in the dress for the first time! Aww!

Teary

2009-12-29T11:01:00.003-07:00

Last night Scott and I photographed a really sweet wedding. The groom is in the military and was able to get leave for Christmas and his wedding then he is getting shipped off again to get ready for deployment to Afghanistan. It was amazing to see how much love they had for each other and to know of the sacrifice they are both making for him to serve our country. I was honored to be a part of it. I'm so grateful for these young men who put their lives on the line to serve and to their wives for sending them.

Fish Family

2009-12-29T09:53:00.019-07:00

Love love love this family!! The kids got together to have pictures done for a Christmas present. They were so much fun and such good sports! You wouldn't be able to tell by their smiling and happy faces but it was beyond freezing outside!

Jordan

2009-01-09T07:45:00.012-07:00

This handsome guy is my baby brother. He is getting ready to serve an LDS mission! I didn't want to post them until he was ready to send off his papers so they are a bit late but I think they turned out nice! These were done at Murray Park.

Siko Alexander

2008-12-23T09:58:00.009-07:00

This was my first attempt with baby pictures. How sweet is this little man?? Mom needed some blessing outfit pictures for his big day but I had to get some naked ones too :) Look at those skinny little bird legs!

Brandy Lynn

2008-12-12T08:43:00.017-07:00

How gorgeous is this bride!? Brandy was such a good sport during her pictures. It was so blasted windy at Memory Grove, so it was pretty tricky getting some decent shots without her veil blowing all over the place. We did get some beautiful shots though, I had a hard time deciding which ones to post!!

Patrick and Jenni

2008-12-11T08:25:00.014-07:00

This was such a fun couple to do pictures for! They are getting married this weekend and just wanted some pictures for their announcements. We took some of them in both regular clothes and in their wedding stuff. Fun idea huh? We took these at Memory Grove.

Studio Portraits

2008-12-11T08:06:00.010-07:00

For a church fundraiser in our area we set up a studio and offered family portraits. It was our first attempt at doing studio pictures... I think it went okay for not ever doing it before :) Here are some examples!

Brandy & Jake

2008-11-30T13:51:00.008-07:00

Aren't they such a cute couple? Brandy & Jake will be tying the knot really soon so we went up to Memory Grove and took some pictures for their announcements. They were such a fun couple to take pictures of!!

Daley Family

2008-11-23T14:04:00.014-07:00

This cute family are my nieghbors; how darling are these kids?! I had a blast doing their pictures! We took these at Memory Grove downtown.

Montgomery Family

2008-11-15T18:28:00.018-07:00

The Montgomery fam was so much fun! We took these at a park across the street from Layton High School and the kids had a blast running all over. They were such an easy family to do pictures for; the kids were just "hammin" it up it was great!

Baker Family

2008-11-09T16:21:00.013-07:00

The Bakers were so much fun! We took these at Murray Park and I loved just letting Lizzie run around and play while I took their pictures. Of course since it was right before Halloween we had to get some pictures of her in her darling bee costume!!

Smith Family

2008-11-01T18:54:00.014-06:00

This has to be one of THE most fun photo shoots I have ever done! The Smiths' were all over the place playing and goofing off I loved it!! They were such good sports because it started to snow during their shoot, great day to be outside... We took these at Memory Grove downtown.

Steele Family

2008-10-30T16:30:00.016-06:00

The Steele's were so much fun to do pictures for. They staked out these great spots near Donut Falls and the fall colors added so much to the photos! Even with some wiggly boys (the older ones too!) we were able to get some really cute shots!

Pehrson Familiy

2008-10-30T16:13:00.009-06:00

This cute little family are some of my good friends and when they came to Salt Lake to visit family we had to be sure to squeeze in some picture time! Their blue-eyed baby girl is the sweetest thing (although she wasn't too happy about getting her picture taken!). We took these at Hunter Park in West Valley City.

Red Butte Gardens

2008-09-10T18:26:00.013-06:00

My hubby and I went on a date to Red Butte Gardens. We hadn't been there for a while and they are doing a lot of garden changes so we went to go check it out. Here are some pictures of the gardens; because of all the construction I wasn't able to get that many shots. I'm excited to see what they will do with it though!

Bronson Family

2008-09-07T15:25:00.010-06:00

These are my fun neighbors the Bronson's. They haven't had any family pictures done since Brooklyn was born so it was time for some updates! We took them at Hunter Park in West Valley City. Brooklyn was not a happy camper about getting her picture taken for the most part, so I was glad when we got at least one smile from her!

Brooklyn

2008-08-20T07:49:00.013-06:00

Isn't she the cutest? Brooklyn just turned one so her Mommy needed some updated pictures. I came over to her house and just followed her around while she played. She was in such a happy mood and did a great job being so good while we took her pictures!

Bracken Family

2008-08-13T21:16:00.014-06:00

The Brackens we a lot of fun! They were so laid back and casual it made taking portraits so easy! We took their pictures at Murray Park and even though it was very crowded we were able to get some really good shots!

Stephanie- Bridals

2008-06-25T07:18:00.016-06:00

Stephanie was so much fun to take pictures of! She looked absolutely beautiful and she wasn't afraid to add some "sass" to her pictures. We took these at the Garden Park Ward; it has been under construction for almost 1 year so we jumped at the chance to do her photos there when it reopened!

Blessing Dress

2008-06-03T17:37:00.006-06:00

This is my Great Grandfather's blessing dress and I took some pictures of it for a genealogy project. It was so much fun being able to work with the dress and take pictures of the amazing hand sewn detail on it!

What lil boys are made of...

2008-06-03T17:03:00.009-06:00

I was visiting these little boy's Grandma when they came over to play. These cousins are best buds and they LOVE getting their pictures taken! They were blowing fishy kisses and being so silly I couldn't resist taking some pictures!

Mindy and Marc

2008-05-27T10:02:00.011-06:00

My friend Mindy was recently married in the Bountiful LDS temple. I wasn't their photographer for the wedding but I took some pictures anyways :) It was really stormy when they came out of the temple but I think the dark clouds look beautiful! Her little nephew was my favorite; his pants were too big on him and kept falling off. Every time they did he would get this horribly shocked look on his face from the cold air, way too cute!

Nature

2008-05-20T18:32:00.019-06:00

I love nature! It is so much fun to capture some of the amazing things on our planet. These pictures were taken in Moab, UT. Alamosa, CO. and in various parts of Salt Lake City.

Analey

2008-05-06T14:37:00.002-06:00

Analey is getting ready to serve on a LDS mission and wanted some pictures done before she went out. We went to Memory Grove in Salt Lake and even though it was a very windy day we were able to get many cute shots.

The Holmes Family

2008-05-06T13:30:00.001-06:00

This family was so much fun to do pictures for! They hadn't taken family pictures together for years so they wanted both candid and posed shots. We took them at Murray Park in early December 2007, just in time for Christmas cards!
