Alex + Ashley, Salt Lake Wedding photography

2010-07-26T02:34:00.000-07:00

I can't say enough about how much I love these guys. They are so real and genuine. Alex and Ashley, it's obvious you two will have an awesome marriage!

By the way, I think I have a new picture in the running for my favorite ever...

I think I like it in different edits too.

Robertson's Family Pictures, Salt Lake City

2010-07-06T15:23:00.001-07:00

Okay, if you show up for a shoot lookin like these guys I might just have to kiss you! Congrats Robertsons, for being such stylish people you guys win the longest post in the world. Come on, look at them...you'd have to post this many pictures too!

Cohen's 1 year old pictures!

2010-07-06T15:10:00.000-07:00

I got to spend some time with my little buddy Cohen again and we got some pictures of this little hunk on the course. We just cruised around in the cart on a nice summer evening! Golf is definitely in my blood. It felt good being out there again, clubs in hand or camera. It was even better being with good friends!

Chelsie and Taylor's Wedding, Salt Lake City

2010-07-06T13:35:00.000-07:00

Here's just a few from Chelsie and Taylor's big day!

Castillo family, Ogden Photography

2010-07-01T00:46:00.000-07:00

Jenny introduced me to Red Hot Chili Peppers when we were little and we would stay up all night burning mix CD's. Oh man, we were so cool ;) I'm having a flood of Junior High memories just thinking about it! Ask this girl to tell ya her ghost stories, you'll have chills for days. I remember sitting in her room at night scared to death, wide-eyed, not daring to even blink at our sleepovers. Oh man, I love it!!! Can we have a sleepover again at our old age? Or at least swap clothes or something like we used to? Hahaha!

Jenny, it was so fun to see you again and meeting your awesome family! You are such a stinking cute mom! Not to mention how adorable your little guy is! Oh, and her hubby is a real life (kick your trash type) ultimate fighter so we got him a few looks for his posters. I HAVE to see one of these fights!!!

Oooh la la, I just love these beautiful people!

Stephanie's Bridals

2010-06-24T00:04:00.000-07:00

Oh dear Stephanie, if only life was as bubbly and contagiously happy as you! Can't wait to spend your special day with you!

Sweet Henry

2010-06-08T01:24:00.000-07:00

I seriously wish all kids were as good natured as Henry (um, like mine). We wore him out and the kid just kept smiling and sitting like it was nothing. Not once did he attempt to get away! Little cute thing!

Alex + Ashley Groomals

2010-05-25T01:23:00.000-07:00

Yaay! I can now post these because their wedding is here! These guys have been more than fun to work with and I'm sad that our time together is almost done.

Ella's newborn pictures

2010-05-24T23:20:00.000-07:00

Okay, now don't get me wrong, I like babies. I guess I just remember too clearly how much stinking work they are and I'm still a little shaken from my son's first year of life. The thought of having a newborn hasn't been too apealing to me...
until I saw Ella!
My heart grew a little and I got trapped by her dreamy red hair and teeensy tiny- ness (she was almost 3 pounds smaller than my baby was)! I had to stop myself as I snuggled her in my arms to think what life would be like with a little Ella!

Anasten and Luke

2010-05-16T03:01:00.000-07:00

Remember these cute things? When Lanie called me to take their sweet pictures again I seriously did a happy dance! Anasten is my new little model and had tons of her own ideas of what we should do. I love that! I think the pictures we got really show their cute personalities and yes, they absolutely are this scrumptious in real life!

Allie's senior photography

2010-05-09T22:38:00.000-07:00

"Allie, you look so good..."

I just wanted to make sure I said that one more time because I think I only told her a million times during our shoot. And can you believe her dress? This is me drooling. Love her dress. Love her style. Love her.

Eden's 6 month pictures

2010-04-25T02:09:00.000-07:00

I'm in love with little miss Eden! It's true, she's just as adorable in real life...and so is her mom! Marie is one smart cookie and not only is she a do-it-all kind of mom (she even made Eden's cute leggings) but next year she'll be going to the same pharmacy school my hubby currently goes to. Hard stuff! You rock girl!

The Veigel family

2010-04-22T22:53:00.000-07:00

What have I been up to? Editing this cute picture of this awesome family! Oh man, five little kiddos equals a lot of work, but man isn't it worth it!

Here's a little family love and a sweet one year old session for studly Ryker. I do have to say that I am in love with all the color everyone wore. A big fat thanks for coordinating that one!

Katie's Senior Pictures

2010-04-11T23:10:00.000-07:00

Oh sweet Katie! It's explanation enough that twenty high school boys (in a rock band) all checked her out while we were taking pics and some random (crazy) guy even asked her on a date. Haha! It was so funny, he thought I was her mom! Just fyi, I only graduated from high school myself 7 years ago! Oh sweet Katie!

Chelsie's Bridals

2010-04-11T11:51:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh! I don't even want to say a thing. I just want to show you Chelsie and how stinkin' beautiful she is.

Engagement Pictures!

2010-04-11T09:33:00.000-07:00

Alex and Ashley both have the best go-with-the-flow attitudes! I can just picture them in 70 years sitting together and still just laughing at whatever comes their way. I even made them climb a huge metal fence and stand in the middle of a (pretty busy) street and they didn't even bat an eyelash at me. Can't wait for your groomal pictures and of course your wedding!

Taylor & Chlelsie Engagements

2010-03-30T13:44:00.000-07:00

So if I have discovered one thing lately it's that engagement, bridal & wedding photography can be so much fun! I think it's because I have been working with three of the cutest brides ever the last little bit. Oh you'll see as I post some of their sessions...

Take Chelsie (and Taylor) for example. Hello, beautiful! These pictures were so fun and my hubby thinks that the two of them in the kissing sunflare shot should be the ending seen on Transformers. Hahaha! They absolutely could be right out of a movie!

I've been trying some new things with editing. I think I'll keep it. What do you think? Enough of my talk, look at their cute faces already!

I need this kid!

2010-03-15T23:30:00.000-07:00

Sure he might depend on me for food, clothes, to tuck him in at night, to kiss away his owie, for just about everything, but no matter how much he needs me I need him more.

I need to see his new toothy grin when he knows he's into something he shouldn't be. I need to hear his fast little doggy pant as he scurries away to not get cought. I need to hear the giggles of anticipation as he's swooped up in the air and tickled all over, the way he dives into my arms (separation anxiety and all), waves with both hands, bounces to music (especially Lada Gaga), is obsessed with his tongue, wobbles as he stands, tugs on my pant leg, yells "momma" throughout the house, can't get enough of the stairs...

I can't imagine a day without my little buddy. I can't wait to pal around for the rest of forever with him because as much as I think he needs me, I'll always need him just a little bit more!

I wanted to take some 9 mo. pics of my baby and I am so happy to say that Hayes is actually pretty photogenic. Wahoo! We got these in like 20 min. Please bless he always stays this way!

This mom seriously needs this kid!!!

The Long Family, Salt Lake photography

2010-03-10T08:51:00.000-08:00

It's always fun when someone scouts out locations and comes to me with their ideas! Want to know one of the best parts, these guys scheduled another shoot in a month or so to get some more of their fam involved! I can't wait, thanks guys!

The Morgan family

2010-03-03T22:32:00.000-08:00

I seriously never posted these! I just searched my blog and couldn't find a single one of these beautiful faces. I blame it on that crazy December business. Now March is here I think I've finally recovered ;)

Well, here they (finally) are! I loved taking pictures of these guys! At the end of the day we even got a little snow to make sure we were completely numb. I love it! Can you believe these two kiddos? What troopers!

This one's for Hali

2010-02-15T18:49:00.000-08:00

Let me tell you why this session rocked...
1. Men aren't supposed to be this photogenic (or have such awesomely saweet hair)
2. When men are this photogenic, their chica normally isn't amazingly modelish like Hali
3. Seriously, just when you think having an amazing couple is enough, check out the kiddos
4. I had a billion favorites and couldn't narrow them down or stop editing the ones I did (hence the long post)
5. I think I HAVE to take their pictures again so that they can actually make me work for it next time

Baby Brisbane

2010-02-03T20:31:00.000-08:00

Courtney, check out your little stud muffin! He really is such a little (and by little I mean teeeny tiny) man! Love him...and you! Thanks for letting me take his sweet little newborn pics!!!

Northridge High Senior Pictures

2010-01-31T21:15:00.000-08:00

Jake wanted to do some senior pictures that were snowy and a little different. I'm glad he did because they were so fun! Jake was such a natural in front of the camera. This kid should be a model or on TV or something!

Ogden Temple Photography

2010-01-27T00:13:00.000-08:00

Maybe it was the love from a family that just fits together, maybe it was everyone that came to support them, or maybe it was taking a moment to just wander around the Ogden temple, but everything about this day made me all warm inside (which is crazy because it was freezing outside)! I'm so glad you invited me to capture the memories of your temple sealing! Thanks guys and congrats!

Ruby's newborn pictures

2010-01-19T23:10:00.000-08:00

All the pink, headbands, frills...
Oh man, girl stuff is so fun and this scrumptious little thing is already pure girl!
Maggie hasn't even seen these yet. Hope ya like them and congrats again!
