Andrew + Jessica {Wedding}

2011-01-17T20:35:00.000-07:00

On a cold day in January this awesome couple got hitched! Let's be honest, there aren't any days in January that aren't cold, Jessica and Andrew were such good sports and so much fun to be around! Temple Square was quiet and beautiful! We had fun taking their pictures and enjoyed the atmosphere there. I'm so grateful to have been able to photograph this amazing couple!

Chris + Summur {Wedding}

2010-12-08T23:29:00.010-07:00

This day was just perfect. We had so much fun together taking pictures and joking around! I truly love my job and one of the main reasons is that I get to meet and make friends with wonderful people like Summur and Chris! They were married in the Bountiful Temple, which is GORGEOUS by the way. There family and friends made the day that much better. It was just an all around good time.

Riches {Family}

Bolster's {Family #2}

2010-10-26T22:00:00.003-06:00

I was also able take pictures of my cousin, Bob's, family! Their little Kristina is the CUTEST and so happy! We had lots of fun at the Botanical Gardens (except for the abnormally large and aggressive mosquitoes). It was totally worth it though!

Bolster {Family #1}

2010-10-26T21:50:00.004-06:00

My cousin Bryan and his cute little family live in Texas, and they recently added one more little girl in the mix! Now he is REALLY out numbered! We had so much fun at the beach in Corpus Chrisit!

Lundell {Wedding}

2010-10-13T14:10:00.006-06:00

I went down to San Antonio, Texas last week for my cousin Becky's wedding! It was such a blast!!! We had such a great time being there with family and eating lots of wonderfully amazing food!! Here are some pictures from the San Antonio LDS Temple. The reception was held the next day at a gorgeous venue!!

Selene {Senior}

2010-09-29T09:49:00.003-06:00

Selene came all the way from Oregon to do senior pictures here in Utah and we had a blast! Went to an auto wrecking place, a random house on the highway and downtown Springville! And after we had burgers...seriously I see nothing wrong with how the night went! Here are some of her photos!

Fitzgerald's {Family}

2010-09-26T23:27:00.003-06:00

I know I say this a lot, but I LOVE my family! They are some of the most amazing people I know, and the Fitzgerald's are NO exception! We had so much fun on this shoot! They brought along their 8 week old Chihuahua, who's name is Chancho. And he is the cutest thing ever! We went up to a place called Temple Quarry. It's where they got the granite to build the Salt Lake Temple...seriously such a cool place!

Dahlin's {Family}

2010-09-09T22:31:00.004-06:00

I have to laugh about this family, because all the way to the shoot and while we were taking pictures, Mel kept saying,"I hope we just have one or two good shots...we are such an un-photogenic family!" I didn't want to sound disagreeable so I didn't say much, but I could tell right away that that WASN'T the case! And here is proof! They are a beautiful family! And very photogenic!!

Sheehan's {Family}

2010-09-09T22:26:00.003-06:00

Myrica and John are amazing! And so are their 2 adorable children! It's definitely a challenge to keep up with 2 little kids during a photo shoot, but a welcome challenge...I mean look at them! They are just the sweetest kids!

Shelton's {Family}

2010-09-06T22:28:00.005-06:00

What can I say? I married into a great family! We are so thankful to have the Shelton's so close now! (They moved here from California this year.) It has been a blast being able to see them so often, and it was so much fun taking their pictures! Thanks guys! I love ya'll!

Lounsbury {Family}

2010-08-28T14:29:00.004-06:00

OH, the Lounsbury's! They are seriously so wonderful! We had so much fun together, playing in the field. With such a big family it's tough sometimes to get good pictures, but they were WONDERFUL! And I think the pictures turned out great! Thanks guys!

Magnusson {Kiddos}

2010-08-27T22:24:00.004-06:00

Now this family and these kids hold a very special place in my heart. I have know them since they were babies and even before Laine, the youngest, was born. We had so much fun being around the horses and just playing around. I was definitely sad to leave them when it was time to go.

Dulley {Family}

2010-08-27T02:08:00.005-06:00

Seriously, how awesome are kids??! I always have so much fun with them! We went to an old college for these ones and it was a blast!

Vinson {Family}

2010-08-27T01:21:00.004-06:00

We had such a fun time with the shoot! Baby Carter was absolutely perfect! I love how Amanda is reading to him, and the whole time he was SO excited that he was reading! It was adorable!

Hartline {Family}

2010-08-24T22:41:00.004-06:00

We ventured over to an old college for these pictures and it didn't let us down. There were so many really old buildings and it was just BEAUTIFUL in the morning. No one was around and it was just quiet and peaceful. Of course not only was the scenery beautiful but so was this couple! We had fun and I loved being there with them!

Martinka {Family}

2010-08-24T22:32:00.004-06:00

These are pictures of one of my new favorite people and her family! Linda is a photographer in Oregon {whimsyhollowphotography.com} and she is GREAT! One of the easiest people to talk to and hang with! We had so much fun and I really enjoyed getting to know her family and taking their pictures!

Budlong {Baby Bump + Kiddo}

2010-08-24T22:24:00.004-06:00

This is one of my dear friends from high school, and her amazingly funny daughter, Reesey. We had so much fun together, but my favorite part of the evening was when Reesey said to me, "You're pretty...I want you to be my Step-Mom!". It was SO funny! But we decided that just being her really pretty friend was better. Kids are so stinkin' funny sometimes!

Jenna {Portrait}

2010-08-24T22:19:00.004-06:00

We had so much fun with Jenna's shoot! We went to a really sweet farm and had so many spots to choose from. It was just a blast to be with Jenna and her sister-in-law, Christy, who just happens to be my best friend from high school.

Nick {Senior}

2010-08-24T22:11:00.004-06:00

I had a really fun time with Nick and his mom. We went to some really cool places....but my favorite part was Nick playing the guitar while I took pictures. It was just a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, and it was great!

Johnson's {Family}

2010-08-11T01:06:00.003-06:00

We have known our friends, Angela and Brevyn, for quite a while and have had a lot significant milestones together...we ALL (and when I say all I mean me, my husband, Brevyn and Angela) met while serving missions for our church, we got married a day apart from one another and we had our first child just 2 months apart from each other. We are close friends, and Brevyn will soon be leaving to go overseas to serve our country. It was wonderful taking pictures of this adorable family who we love very much!

High school was a long time ago, but I've managed to keep in contact with some teachers. Renee was one of them and I had the great pleasure of meeting her children and taking pictures of them while we were in Oregon! We had so much fun and I was grateful to see her again after all this time!

Over the 4th of July weekend I flew to Seattle to photograph a wedding! It was AMAZING! I am friends with the groom's family and it was so nice to see them again! The ceremony was at the Seattle LDS Temple, and it was a beautiful day! After the ceremony we went south a little ways to Lakewood for the reception. It was at a family members house who lived on a lake...talk about GORGEOUS! We had lots of fun...we as in myself, my mom and my mom's friend Patty...I couldn't have do it without them!
