Matt and Lori :: Married!

About a month ago, these two beautiful people tied the knot at the Jordan River temple. We lucked out big time on the weather! There were storm forecasts galore, but somehow we pulled off partly cloudy skies for all the pictures! Booyah!

All the bridesmaids and groom’s men (how do you spell that, anyways!?). Yup. There were EIGHT of each!

After about… oh… eight tries we finally got this shot figured out. Thanks to you ladies, not to mention Matt, for being good sports and sticking it through to the end! 🙂

Alan and Stephannie :: Engaged.

Okay, so in all honesty these two got married this morning, and I am filling my limbo time in between the sealing and reception by catching up on my blogging! I am so close! But nevertheless–check out this fantastic couple! We shot their engagement session at the botany pond just south of BYU and a couple up on campus. Alan and Stephanie met here, so the campus has a lot of special meaning to them!

We were so excited (okay, let’s be honest. Stephannie and I were excited) to get pictures with the blossoms! Unfortunately, there was a huge storm the day or two before, so the blossoms were all blown away. But there was this one tree (see below…)! It happened to be right on the staircase leading up to campus, which meant a lot of in-between-students picture taking, but it was totally worth it!

Thanks, you two! And congrats on your wedding today! The pictures are looking fantabulous so far, and I’ll see you tonight at the reception! 🙂

Brian and Lindsay

Wow. We were sure fighting a thunderstorm today! We pulled through, though, and thanks to Brian’s connections we were able to take a couple indoors. Here’s a couple of my favorites! Enjoy!

My First Quinceañera!

This gorgeous girl turned 15 and I got to photograph the event! It was quite the party! 🙂 For example… I also got to go on my first limo ride!

Brian and Whitney… Engaged.

Yeah yeah, I know. I have been so slacking. Let’s just say I had a bunch of jobs come up within days of each other, including a week long vacation to Oregon, which resulted in me desperately trying to simply get the images edited in a timely fashion for my clients. Thus, the photo blog fell to the wayside. But no longer! Here is the first of a bunch of posts! Enjoy! These two were absolutely fabulous.

I honestly can’t remember what exactly was so funny in this moment, but I love this picture all the same. 🙂

Taken inside Sammies–more for the sentimental value than for the location. It’s where they got engaged! Awww…

Hahaha. This is what happens when Brian whispers “sweet nothings” to Whitney. Hilarity ensues. 🙂

I love this one. Love love love.

Thanks again, you two! I had a blast getting to know you and photographing your beautiful faces! 🙂

A Day with Goober-stink Chubby-calves

Yup. You read right. That is what we lovingly call my nephew. We figure that way, if he ever becomes a general authority he can be called Elder G. Stink Chubby-calves, Elder G.S. Chubby-calves, Goober S. Chubby-calves…. I mean seriously. The possibilities are endless. 🙂 Kirby and I got to spend a couple hours with G.S. while his parents went out to Ruby River Steakhouse for his mom’s birthday! YUM. During the course of our time with him, we ate cheetos, drank kool-aid, strut our stuff in super-swank sunglasses, and took pictures of each other. Well, his taking pictures of me consisted of me taking a picture of myself so he could see it in the LCD screen when it popped up afterwards… But here are some of my favorites! I used my new lens, and I love the depth of field!

When I first pulled out the camera G.S. decided to smile for me… This was the closest it actually got to looking happy… It originally looked somewhat-tortured. Yup. I busted up laughing.

Did I mention we played with all-things-electronic? 🙂

A little black and white–just to shake things up… 🙂

And yes. Couldn’t pass up the gorgeous day! Doesn’t he look so inspiring/inspired here? Insert Chariots of Fire theme song…

Well hey–thanks for looking! Keep an eye out! I’m working on three different sessions right now, with two more to come next week! Phew! Open the floodgates!
