TJ & Ashley | Utah Wedding Photographer

Before we head to the images, I wanted to give a shout out to TJ & Ashley because of their awesomeness.  They were everything I love in a couple…fun, genuine, down to earth, and the one I love most–They completely trusted me & my artistic vision throughout the whole process.  They never complained in the cold, and let me tell you, it was cold and windy I was COMPLAININ’!  Ashley, in her short sleeve dress was up for everything and anything.  Loved that about her.  And can I just say that TJ is the coolest cat this side of the Mississippi!  I gotta back up on the story to explain…

Normally I have a pre-wedding consulation to get to know the couple, find out details about their special day, etc.  I couldn’t do that for this couple because they were already living in San Francisco…so everything was through e-mail.  I’ve always been lucky with such amazing couples, but I was still a little nervous upon meeting them since I really didn’t even know what they exactly looked like let alone how they were in person.  (Thank you Facebook!)  So TJ walks up…I ask him, “Are you TJ?” to which he of course answers, “Yes”…and then from there we talked for about 20 minutes straight about life in San Francisco, his job, how the two of them met, etc.  I found myself telling him all about me…(I’m sure he was like okay lady…I nokea!)  It was like I had known him for years.  He has that effect on people (so I’m told).  So to make a long story short…I love TJ & Ashley.  I totally consider them as my BUDS.  (Even if they don’t know it yet!  hahahaha)

TJ & Ashley–so if you haven’t realized it yet, you guys rocked my photography world.  Love you guys!

Look familiar?  I told you I will try the foliage wall on a couple…SUCCESS! That one on the lower right…simply STUNNING Ashley!

Check out them GORGEOUS EYES!

Thanks Erin for the bottom left image…love the wide angle shot on them…

Work it Ashley and TJ!

I was kinda hatin’ on the wind the entire time we were shooting, but I think the wind added DRAMA to these pics…

Gorgeous Gorgeous G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!

Gorgeous Bride | Utah Wedding Photographer

I’ve been really lucky.  All of my brides have been ridiculously gorgeous.  Ashley was no different.  Beautiful porcelain skin, with these amazing goldish eyes.  BEAUTIFUL!  I had the chance to hang out and photograph Ashley and TJ’s wedding…Still working on getting them ready to post.  I was really excited about this image so I had to post it before I went to bed.  I just love the mood of the image.  Ashley had this perfect vintage looking dress that matched so well with her dark hair.  My daughter thought she looked just like Snow White.  I’ll post more tomorrow.  :)  Good night!

Utah Headshot Photographer

I’ll continue to post images from the workshop as I get to them…so enjoy these three for now!  More to come.

Sisters? | Utah Child Photographer

So I’m back from my three day trip–and I’m glad to be back!  I missed my family.  Like I said earlier, I haven’t traveled without them like ever…well, just once.  But it was years ago.  Anyway…I attended Brianna Graham’s workshop and learned a lot.  She is an AMAZING photographer based out in Michigan and her work just inspires me to work harder and be that much more diligent in what I love to do.  I was amazed at how detailed she was with every aspect of her business.  She is fantastic.  The image above is one I took during the workshop.  These girls told me they were sisters…but come to find out, they were “God Sisters” so not related by blood.  Funny girls.  I really like how moody this picture turned out.  There will be more posts to come of my favorite images from the workshop, so stay tuned.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

So I’m off to a photography workshop in L.A. this weekend and will be back on Tuesday.  I’ve only been away from my husband and kiddos one other time years ago…so we’ll see how well I do without them.  I’m glad I’ll be going with a good friend–it should be a lot of fun!!!  Hoping to come back with a lot more knowledge and come back with some awesome images!  Have a happy weekend!  Stay tuned….
