What a day, what a couple...

Today I had SOOOO much fun with Julianne and Adam. No, I don't think you believe me. I had a SERIOUS good time with them (please reference photos below). Megan and I braved the cold and spent about 2 1/2 hours outside with these two on a beautiful November day!

Julianne is my most traditional bride right now. So, today I really tried to take traditional and put a bit of a twist on it. I really think it is fresh and beautiful! And the candid photos are my favorite. Megan, you did an OUTSTANDING job on this one (WOW WOW WOW WOW - you need a raise)

I will post a slide show of their event very soon! Thanks for all of the laughs, and hopefully the following pictures will give you some as well!

Oh ya, and by the way, "Alan", I will e-mail you a credit for a FREE 8X10 because you were so much fun to shoot today! Have a great honey moon and we will see you soon.


um killer - Holly cow julianne!


ok, this picture really set the stage for the whole day. Follow me for a min as we feature the many sides of Adam...














Alan and his sisters! Something tells me this is not the only picture they have that looks like this (PRO'S)




Now for a couple of pretty shots...

















Thanks again!

A look back...

So, today it snowed here in Logan. I felt for a moment that we lived in a winter wonder-land, and then I remembered that I had to shoot tomorrow (Hee Hee Hee). For those of you that live in a harsh climate you know what I mean when I say that sometimes you have to "brave the elements".

As I sat in my office and watched the beautiful snow fall it took me back to all of my fun and beautiful winter weddings last year. I thought it would be fitting to tell you about one in particular.

Almost a year ago now I started this blog. The very first entry on there was a wedding from December 31, 2006. I met this beautiful bride Emily at one of the bridal fairs I did that year. She and her mom were so spunky and cute! I instantly fell in love with them. They were married on a COLD day in December. Emily wore a short sleeve dress and I thought she was going to get hypothermia by the time we finished with her. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple at 3:00 pm and so this was mostly a night shoot. FUN!!!! Myself, and my sister Shellee (who is a professional photographer in St. George Utah), and her Husband Jason (who does all of the candid photography for her company) shot with me that day. I was actually in Salt Lake that night at a family party of my own, and it was fun to have my family shoot with me in this "family business" we have created.

I have such a great relationship with these two. We did an album for them and for Emily's mom and they have been so gracious and lovely to work with. As their anniversary approaches I wanted to give them two gifts. First, because Emily and Beau were my first entry on my blog they did not get a web video. So below you will see a link to a video of their wedding set to "their song". Second, (it's a secret)! Although I can't tell you what it is - I know they will LOVE IT! So, Emily, give me a call and I will have a box ready for you to put under your Christmas Tree if you promise not to open it until Christmas morning.

Cheers to the beauty of the winter and to our own "Winter Wonderland"!

The Palmer Family

Tonight I was so excited to photograph the Palmer family. Erin is a sister of Becca, and if you look up, Becca and Steve are on the right! They have the cutest little family, and despite the "cooler" temps tonight we had a fantastic time together.

(Also, a special thanks to "grandma" for hopping around the field like a bunny!)

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot.

Thanksgiving Family Shoot

Yesterday was Thanksgiving!!! We had a really great time with my husbands family in Highland Utah. While we were there Dan's (my husband) little brother Jared and his family were here from Minnesota. It was so much fun to see them. A couple of weeks before they came out Ginny called me to see if I would take some family pictures of them. Of course I could not pass that up!!!! So here are a few of my favorite. It was so much fun to see you! Have a safe trip home, and enjoy your pictures...

I think this is a beautiful picture...

Soto...

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is upon us already. I am so excited that I am able to travel up to Wyoming to be with my family this weekend. I have so very much to be thankful for this year. I come from a family with very strong traditions. My mom bakes an AMAZING Thanksgiving feast, and I look forward to it each year. I will be taking my camera home with me. We will make the traditional trip to the Wyoming mountains to cut down our Christmas tree, and we are also taking some family pictures while we are there. I can't wait to share it all with you next week. So, stay tuned...

Tonight I took pictures of the cutest family. Talk about easy to work with. These kids were ANGELS! They are all so photogenic as well. I really enjoyed my time with all of them. It was a little on the cold side, and they were all so good to stay out in the cold long enough for me to have some fun with them. I hope you enjoy this rustic, yet modern session! Jennifer (the mom), saw these beautiful red doors I shot a couple of weeks ago and requested that we do her pictures here! Enjoy and I will be back before you know it.

I still have people contacting me for family pictures. If any of you out there are interested in family pictures be sure that you plan ahead of time next year. It is amazing how quickly my schedule fills up. I still have 6 more sessions to do this month and then I will be finished with family pictures until 2008! I will be running an August promotion for all of you early birds looking for family pictures!

Until next week...




























I love this shot...
