More Pease Please!

A huge thanks goes to Kate for her patience!  This was one of 2 shoots that I was doing for a fellow photographer and friend.  We weren't really sure where the location of this shoot was going to be. So we drove down the road a little bit and found this cool little nook.  I think it turned out rather perfectly!  The leaves were beautiful and I prepared myself to be frozen to the bone, but the weather was actually quite pleasant as well. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek Pease Family!

For Sarah

It all started at a family shower.  My sister-in-law mentioned that my husband's cousin, Sarah, also did pictures.  It immediately got my attention.  We started talking and sharing locations and images.  I don't think either of us realized the path that was laying before us, much less that we'd walk it together.

 People told us it wouldn't work. We are not only competition--we are family.  But they were wrong.  This is for Sarah, who has been a rock for me through my photographic career.   This is for Sarah who has saved my photo-takin' butt more than a few times. This is for Sarah who I can call in tears when the frustration is to much, who I can ask a question and get a completely honest answer, and who I am indebted to for her kindness and generosity.  And this is for Sarah, whose pictures she came to excitedly pick up last night and I missed her call (sorry about that dear!).  Here is just a sneak peek of the lovely Sarah and her sweet hubby Jake.  There is no question about how much these guys love each other! Almost as much as I love Sarah! :-)








I just love the way Jake is looking at her in this picture. So tender.

Yellow Leaves, Red Dresses & Rain

I woke up the morning of this shoot and looked at the dark grey clouds looming over the location of my shoot.  I know that we wouldn't be able to dodge the rain.  And sure enough, we didn't! But this little family, used to the warmer temperatures of Japan, stuck it out. Their 2 little girls did awesome in the rain, and I for one, had lots of fun shooting in the rain!






O-Town

Ya know, Ogden gets a bad rap. And today, I am standing up for the O-town. Does it

have it's bad areas? Sure, of course! What big cities don't?  But you wanna know what's GREAT about Ogden? It's FULL of character!  Colors, buildings, rocks, murals, horses...charater people! And I found yet another perfect example of Ogden's character. Check out Vintage Cupcakes awesome location. Never before have I seen such a cute shop that sells Cupcakes. It's like right out of a movie. Bright colors, antiques, old tables. I loved it. And bonus! They even let us shoot there! I had a blast in there. Enjoy your sneek peak Jensen family!

Baby Blues! {Northen Utah Family Photographer}

If you think I did any sort of enhancing to her eyes, you are definitely mistaken. This little angels eyes popped perfectly against that background with the help of some beautiful light.  They are all hers.  She will make the boys crazy someday...hopefully in the distant future though! Enjoy your sneak peek Bowman Family!





Custom-Made Christmas Cards

All sides of the cards are designed, as you can see below.

Red Rock Bride {Utah Wedding Photographer}

I had the opportunity of going down to Moab for this year's convention with IPPA.  This was my first time to Moab--and what an adventure it was!!  I spent one evening shooting this *beautiful* bride on the red rocks at sunset.  The weather was perfect-o and even though we had some storm clouds above us, it was perfectly warm.  I had a really hard time choosing which ones to share on the blog.  I had such a wonderful time getting together with other professional photographers to both share our knowledge and our passion.

Cowboy Hats and Outhouses {Utah Family Photographer}

Isn't she the cutest little cowgirl you've ever seen?

Couldn't have ask for a more beautiful day than this day was.  I think that if September wasn't followed by October, which was then followed by yucky winter--it'd be may favorite month! (catch all that?)
Enjoy your sneak peek Kirby Family!



Mom thought this outhouse was very cute. And I have to agree! Very Cute



More Beautiful {Utah Family Photographer}

Words can't express how much I ♥ this family. How beautiful are they? So, because I think this world could use some more beauty, sit back and enjoy.

This last one is my favorite. Look at their faces! This was just shortly after the little 4 year old in flip flops met with a cactus. I want to know what the girls and mom are sharing and Dad's face just says it all.  Pure enjoyment for me. Truly.
