Sweet Twin Girls

2012-01-11T14:02:00.000-08:00

I was lucky enought to be able to photograph these sweet twin girls. Their mom has been on bedrest for the last several months, so we are so happy to see them here safe and sound! Enjoy the sneak peak!

They even gave me a couple of sleepy little smiles!

I always love the tangle of arms and legs...

Shaw Family

2011-11-04T20:53:00.000-07:00

Another great family from my ward...and another beautiful fall day! We had a lot of fun in this park in Draper. This family was so easy going and fun to work with! Their son will be turning in his mission papers in a few months, so this is the beginning of changes for their family! They grow up too fast...Enjoy the sneak peak!

Barker Family

2011-10-27T13:27:00.000-07:00

Whew! This one was a workout! Getting all 6 kids (including these two cute twins) all looking at the same time was a difficult task! :) But we had a great time! They are such a cute family, thanks for having me do your pictures guys! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Galloway Boys

2011-10-26T09:50:00.000-07:00

I am desperately trying to hang on to the warm weather. We have had such a mild fall so far, and I would love to think it will continue... Wheeler Farm was beautiful for these two superheros. They are such cute boys, I just love them! Enjoy the sneak peak!

As soon as he put on his costume, he was TOTALLY in character. Look at that face! I love it!

Jake is One!

2011-10-15T12:38:00.000-07:00

My cute little nephew turned one last week! He is growing so quickly! Seems like just yesterday he was a newborn...He loved holding up his finger to show us he was one! What a sweet boy. His sister Josie is so cute with him! She wasn't sure she loved having it be his special picture day only, so we had to get some of her as well!

Candalot Family

2011-10-13T11:03:00.000-07:00

My husband went to school with these two, and now they are in our same ward. The day was forecast for rain, but it held out for my morning wedding shoot, and this family shoot that night. I was very grateful! These twins were in my scouts and I still have the hardest time telling them apart...can you see why?!?!

Hill Family

2011-10-07T19:06:00.001-07:00

Another great family from our ward. Their oldest son is just getting ready to turn in his mission pictures, so they were wanting to get family pictures before he leaves home. It was a beautiful day! Enjoy the sneak peak!

I Can't Wait Until I'm Eight!

2011-09-28T10:12:00.000-07:00

This cute little blonde is my daughter, and the darling redhead is her cousin. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to get their pictures together in their baptism dresses! What a sweet age, these 8 year olds! We are so proud of them for making the choice to be baptized. Enjoy the sneak peak!

Richardson Family

2011-09-16T13:07:00.000-07:00

These two cuties are my niece and nephew. It is always fun to shoot pictures of family! They are at such fun ages. Enjoy the sneak peak!

Audra and Andrew

2011-09-15T15:03:00.000-07:00

This was such a fun wedding to shoot! Andrew and Audra make a great couple, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen were fun to work with as well. Best wishes and enjoy the sneak peak!

Friends

2011-09-15T14:35:00.000-07:00

My daughter wanted to get pictures with her friends from elementary school. After much drama about which outfits to wear, we had a fun shoot! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Chasilyn and Jaymin

2011-09-15T14:16:00.000-07:00

I cannot believe how far behind I am in blogging my shoots. Ahhhh! Oh well, better late than never! I enjoyed a beautiful day at the Salt Lake Temple with Jaymin and Chasilyn. They are a darling couple and I wish them the best of luck in their new life together! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Devan and Shandra

2011-08-02T14:54:00.000-07:00

Shandra is the younger sister of one of my college roommates! I was excited for the opportunity to photograph their wedding, and I especially love taking photos at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple, since that is "my" temple. They were a fun, cute couple, an I wish them the best in their new life together. Enjoy the sneak peak!

This couple knows how to JUMP!

Oldroyd Family

2011-07-29T14:05:00.000-07:00

It was a beautiful (but HOT!) day at Wheeler Farm for family pictures. It is important that the boys in this family are learning early that you have to put up with family pictures every once in a while to keep the women of the family happy! The boys were all troopers. And now, hopefully she will let you off the hook for a few more years! :) Enjoy the sneak peak!

Cottle Family

2011-07-13T20:33:00.000-07:00

Here is one of my favorite families! I have rediscovered Garden Park Ward, and have enjoyed taking photos down there this week. One of these days, I will get caught up on the mountains of photos I have to edit...my poor kids have had to give me up to the computer quite a bit lately. :) Enjoy the sneak peak!

How cute is he? I love all the expressions...

Hanging upside down is one of his favorite things to do!

I loved this expression he kept pulling!

Warner Family

2011-07-13T11:21:00.000-07:00

Right when we got to our location with the Warner Family, it started to rain, but the crazy thing was that the sky was blue! Hasn't this summer had the strangest weather?! Luckily, it cleared right up and we had a great shoot! Hard to take bad pictures of a beautiful family like this one! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Remember this baby?

Well, now Addisyn is all grown up! I can't believe how blonde her hair has gotten!

Ecuador!

2011-07-07T13:07:00.000-07:00

My husband and I went on the most incredible trip to Ecuador last month. We were able to go with a group of the guys and their families that he served his LDS mission with nearly 20 years ago. It was an amazing group of people, with so many diverse talents that made the whole project thrive. They decided that they didn't just want to go down to travel, but to perform humanitarian service of some sort. As it turned out, we did dental service, (you wouldn't believe how many of these guys have become dentists!), taught neonatal resuscitation to medical students, (can you believe that it is not taught in medical school down there?!), and helped construct the second level of a tutoring center for school children (gotta love painting while standing on rickety bamboo scaffolding!) We worked hard, played hard, and hardly slept. One of the most touching things was seeing these missionaries reunited with those that they taught the gospel to nearly 20 years ago. New friendships were made, old friendships renewed, and tears of joy and thanksgiving were shed. Thanks to all you who went and the part you played in making this one of the most memorable experiences of my lifetime.

The service...

We were also able to tour the local maternity hospital to determine possible needs we can help meet in the future and to hand out newborn kits to the brand new mothers.

The Dental Team

The Education Team

The Construction Team

One of the boys who went with us collected school supplies for the children for his Eagle Scout Project.

This is how you mix cement, Ecua-style...

At the end of our service, the kids of the tutoring center threw us a party, complete with singing, dancing, clowns, and homemade empanadas...

For those of you who went, I have many more service photos, but I will save them for our reunion meeting in a couple of weeks!

From a photographers standpoint, Ecuador is paradise! These next photos show the amazing color and culture of this beautiful land.

BBQ anyone? At least the pig was smiling when it died... :)

This girl was reading her scriptures outside the LDS Temple in Guayaquil. She is getting ready to leave on her own mission in a few months.

Washington D.C.

2011-07-06T16:30:00.000-07:00

So, I am very slow uploading these photos! These are from back in April, when I went to visit my sister during the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC. We hit the blossoms at their very peak! It was a photographer's paradise! Enjoy!

Of course, while I was there, I had to go to the Washington DC Temple. I hit it during some incredible lighting! Here are some of the photos I got while there...

Olsen Family

2011-07-06T14:56:00.001-07:00

So, my family all got together for the first time in several years, so of course, we had to get some family pictures! I must say it is very difficult to be the photographer, and be in the photos at the same time! We had a wonderful weekend at our family cabin, aside from the fact that my little guy had to get stitches in his head from a fall at the cabin the night before our pictures. Isn't that just the way it goes?! Enjoy!

The Brothers!

My nephew in this pic had the flu, so he wasn't really in the mood for pics...good thing we got some great family pics of them a couple of months ago when I went out to Virgina to visit them!

My brothers took some great family photos of us...what a relief to get some family photos done!

Me and my siblings!

Sisters!

See his battle scar? I had to leave it in the picture. Bragging rights for boys, you know...

Took the stitches out of this one... :)

Maci

2011-07-04T18:34:00.000-07:00

What a sweet baby! I was the wedding photographer for Maci's parents about 18 months ago, and they promised to bring me their first baby. I'm so glad they did! She was an absolute angel, and we had lots of fun with her! Enjoy the sneak peak! (Remember, 10 comments below will earn the parents a free 8x10 of their new baby!)

Jones Kids

2011-06-17T13:55:00.000-07:00

These kids belong to one of my husband's favorite missionary companions ever! We actually just got back from a Humanitarian/Missionary Reunion trip to Ecuador with a big group of us. AMAZING trip! Watch for photos to come! But, these kids were great! And luckily, the rain held out just long enough to get the photos done! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Color?

Or Black and White? I love both!

Nay Family

2011-05-24T09:54:00.000-07:00

It is an exciting time for the Nay family...with a recent college graduate, and a soon to be High School graduate. It is a great time to capture family photos, and it was a beautiful evening. I love this family, they are in my ward, and I look up to them as great examples. Enjoy the sneak peak!

Jamin

2011-05-13T13:10:00.000-07:00

I think spring is finally here! It was a beautiful day for Jamin's Senior Photos! This is such an exciting time of life for these soon-to-be high school graduates! Best of luck in all you do!

Lindsay

2011-05-06T19:01:00.001-07:00

This is Lindsay...I just love her and her family! We had so much fun on her shoot, even though it was FREEZING COLD! I am so glad we finally have some warm weather this week! We had to cancel Lindsay's first shoot last week because it looked like a blizzard outside. Gotta love spring in Utah! Thanks for letting me take your senior pictures! Enjoy!

Salt Lake Temple

2011-04-29T20:13:00.000-07:00

I decided I want to hang a nice picture of the Salt Lake Temple in my home, and now I can't decide which one to print...some of them are very similar...I am having a hard time deciding...any feedback?

Asher

2011-04-26T11:18:00.000-07:00

I have really been blessed with such sweet babies to photograph these last 2 weeks! They have all been so pleasant, and fun to work with! This is Asher...isn't he darling? I know his parents are thrilled to have him in their family! Enjoy the sneak peak! Remember, 10 comments on this sweet baby and his parents will earn a free 8x10! Comment below!

Hansen Family

2011-04-18T11:04:00.000-07:00

I just got back last week from a really fun trip to visit my sister and her family who live in Virginia. We had lots of fun, and were able to catch the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washtingon D.C., which I have wanted to do for a long time! Of course, while I was there, we had to grab some pics of her family. Brian was a trooper and got all the kids ready while Karene and I were off touring D.C. Thanks for letting me come visit! I had a great time!

Doesn't this one just scream of typical big brother/baby sister relationships?!?!

So, my nephew Cole is famous for the faces he pulls while I am taking his pictures. My sister has a collage on her wall that we call "the many face of Cole". He did not disappoint this time either...

Silly kid...he warmed my heart by crying for me the morning I left to come back home. Being an aunt is great!

Aren't they all so cute?

Stetson

2011-04-16T16:52:00.000-07:00

My cute neighbors had their first baby, Stetson, last week. He was one of the BEST babies I have ever photographed. He was so sweet, so sleepy...I love sleepy babies! Congratulations on your new arrival, and enjoy the sneak peak!

Heather

2011-04-16T16:37:00.000-07:00

It is pageant season! Heather is trying out for Miss Bluffdale! My girls just adore Heather, she is a great role model for them! Good luck!

Chelsea Howell

2011-04-16T15:45:00.000-07:00

Chelsea is Miss Provo, and is running for Miss Utah this summer. Her little sisters are practically my adopted daughters, we just love their family! Good luck, Chelsea!

Jacob and Josi

2011-04-16T14:53:00.000-07:00

I have been hibernating over the winter, and now it is time to catch up on my blog posts. This is my cute nephew and neice, and we took these photos a couple of months ago...aren't they cute?

Angell Family

2011-04-16T13:59:00.000-07:00

The Angell family wanted to get some family pictures before their son left on his mission. It was a freezing cold day at Temple Square, but they were troopers! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Benjamin

2011-04-16T11:51:00.000-07:00

What a sweet new baby boy! I have decided I really love getting to snuggle these sweet babies in their first few days of life. Those a precious days, and they grow and change so fast! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Tate {Salt Lake County Newborn Photography}

2011-02-18T20:03:00.000-08:00

I took Tate's older sister's newborn photos a couple of years ago. I can't believe how much she has grown! This little guy looks so much like she did at that age. They were both so tiny! It was fun to see the family again, and to do these photos! 10 comments on the pictures will earn Tate's family a free 8x10 of their choice, so comment away! (See the "Comment" link below. Be sure and leave your name!) Enjoy the sneak peak!

Cottle Kids {Salt Lake County Children Photography}

2011-01-28T13:51:00.001-08:00

I have watched these kids grow up and they get cuter every time I see them! We had a lot of fun with the pictures. The thing that always surprises me is that the older two kids WANT to get their pictures taken! In fact, they fight over who gets to go first! A photographers dream, I tell you! Enjoy the sneak peak!

NEW WEDDING REFERRAL PROGRAM!

2011-01-15T14:50:00.000-08:00

How would you like $100 CASH?!?! Well, here is your chance! I am starting a new wedding referral program for 2011. If you refer someone to me for wedding photography, and they book a FULL WEDDING PACKAGE (engagements, bridals and ceremony/reception), I will mail you $100 cash as a thank you for your referral! Here are the rules:

*A FULL WEDDING PACKAGE must be purchased. (Bridals only, engagements only etc. do not qualify for the referral program).
*The person must give me your name at the time that they call to book. They can't claim referrals once the wedding has already been booked.
*The money will be mailed to you within 2 weeks after the wedding date.
*You must be a previous client of mine (or family of a previous client) to qualify, so that I know that the referral is valid.
*The referral program does not apply to other types of shoots (families, newborns etc.). This is a WEDDING referral program only.
*The program is effective as of today, and does not apply to weddings already booked.

Questions??? Feel free to comment below or send me an email! I absolutely LOVE weddings, and look forward to a wonderful year! Thanks!

Mason {Salt Lake County Eagle Scout Photography}

2010-12-31T12:21:00.000-08:00

Mason just earned his Eagle Scout award, and he braved to cold to get pictures which I'm sure made his mom very happy! He never complained the whole time! Mason is my husband's cousin's son (confusing I know), and the whole time I was editing, I kept thinking how much Mason reminds me of my little guy Jace, especially his eyes. Must be something in their genes! Thanks, James and Syd, for calling me to do Mason's pics, and for your patience in waiting for me to edit them! Congratulations, Mason, on your great achievement! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Janiel and Dave {Wheeler Farm Engagement Photography}

2010-11-30T19:08:00.001-08:00

Janiel is one of my favorite people! I was excited to take engagement photos for her and Dave. They are a perfect match! They were pretty competitive when it came to fighting in the leaves. I'm still not sure who won... :) Enjoy the sneak peak!

Malisa and Joe {Salt Lake County Wedding Photography}

2010-11-30T18:54:00.000-08:00

Here are a few shots from Malisa and Joe's wedding day...I thought they were cute of him playing the "tough guy"...they are a cute couple!

This one is so funny to me, because these two are NOT serious! :) Such an act...

Howell Family {Salt Lake County Family Photography}

2010-11-30T18:34:00.000-08:00

Thanks to the Howell family for braving the cold and missing the BYU/Utah game to get their family pictures taken! We were lucky to get the pictures done before the big snow storm Saturday night! The three youngest girls in this family are like my own, as they are close friends with my three girls. We sure love them!!! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Miller Family {Utah County Family Photography}

2010-11-17T12:10:00.000-08:00

We lucked out with a nice day for the Miller Family's pictures! I can't believe little "S" is almost 3 years old! It seems like just yesterday that I took her newborn pictures! I loved these pink polka dot skirts! It was a trick to get these busy girls to look at the camera, but despite that, we got some great shots! Thanks for calling me for your family pics...Enjoy the sneak peak!

Special Weekend {Baptism and Blessing Photography Utah}

2010-11-16T15:43:00.000-08:00

This was a special weekend for my sister. They had the blessing of their baby Kadie, and the baptism of their daughter Brynn. I'm looking forward to enjoying more family time next week for Thanksgiving! I am blessed to have such a great family.

Aren't cousins great?!

Olsen Kids {Utah Children and Family Photography}

2010-11-16T12:52:00.000-08:00

We headed down to Richfield a couple of weekends ago for a combined baby blessing/baptism for my sister's kids. While we were there, we took some photos of my brother's kids. Aren't they cute?!? It is always fun to shoot in a new location!

Malisa's Bridals {Thanksgiving Point Bridal Photography}

2010-11-04T14:01:00.000-07:00

What a beautiful, mild fall we are having! (Except for the night of Trick-or-Treating...that is just how it goes!) Malisa's bridal shoot at Thanksgiving Point was one of those fabulous fall days! And she is such a beautiful bride! I love her veil! She and her sister made it! I am looking forward to the wedding in a few weeks! Enjoy the sneak peak!

My Kiddos {Wheeler Farm Children Photography}

2010-11-04T08:31:00.000-07:00

I wanted to run out and capture the colors at Wheeler Farm with my kids for our Christmas cards this year. I copied two of my recent families with the red and black idea, I love it! This is the first time my youngest has actually "posed" for a few pics! Until now, it has been a "catch him on the move" game. He'd better get used to it with me as his mom (Poor kid...) As a result of his unexpected cooperation, I took far too many pics of him. I have to try to make up for the fact that I have WAY more pictures of my girls than him! (Not that he will ever care...) Enjoy!

I love those baby blues!

Now that just warms a mom's heart...

I love it when they "find themselves in the lens"...

Hmmm, I posted way too many. Sorry about that...you'd think they were MY kids or something...

Jaxon {Salt Lake County Newborn Photography}

2010-10-27T15:48:00.000-07:00

What cute newborns I have had come in lately! Jaxon was such a sweet baby. I love getting to hold all these sweet new babies. What a fun "job"! Thanks for bringing Jaxon to me for his newborn pics! Enjoy the sneak peak!

What a sweet little yawn!

Jacob {Newborn Photography}

2010-10-25T17:17:00.000-07:00

This is my cute new nephew! We are so glad he is here, and we all think he is just darling! Thanks for bringing him to me for his photos Bets! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Robbins Family {Wheeler Farm Family Photography}

2010-10-23T20:57:00.000-07:00

It was another beautiful day at Wheeler Farm. I have really loved the weather this fall! So mild, so perfect... I think all that is about to come to an end. Enjoy the sneak peak, and thanks for having me take your family pictures!

Isn't she a doll?!?

Cottle Family {Salt Lake County Family Photography}

2010-10-23T12:49:00.000-07:00

I love the red and black clothes of these last two families! So much in fact, that I copied it for my kids for our Christmas cards this year! I will post those soon! But we had a fun day at the farm with the Cottles, they are such a cute family! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Galloway Family {Utah County Family Photography}

2010-10-20T08:40:00.003-07:00

Ahhh, family pictures with an 18 month old can always prove to be challenging! Crew was so active and cute, he just liked pictures on his own, not with the whole family! But, he is such a handsome little guy, it is hard to hold it against him! :) Still, I think we got some darling images, and we are going to try for some more family pics at Wheeler Farm this weekend with grandma's help! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Get me out of here!

Nope, I will not do pictures, I won't, I won't...

The boys had a great time goofing around on the flatbed...

Watch out, ladies...

Birrell {Salt Lake Couty Family Photography Wheeler Farm}

2010-10-20T08:40:00.001-07:00

Fall is my favorite time and Wheeler Farm, and these are some of my favorite people! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Richarson Family {Urban Utah County Family Photography}

2010-10-20T08:37:00.000-07:00

Man, I am behind in posting things. This shoot was clear back in July! My cute sister-in-law has since had her baby boy! I will be posting his newborn pics soon!

The Baby's Nursery is decorated in old antique cars, so we had to get a picture of this car to put in his room!

Cornia Family {Salt Lake County Family Photography}

2010-09-13T09:10:00.000-07:00

I had fun with my brother and sister-in-law and their kids at Star Mill. Their kids are at cute ages, and were really cracking me up. I'd better enjoy the last weeks of good weather, before we get stuck inside for months! This was a great day to do just that!

Well, we did ask her to smile. She's just being obedient!!!

She thought she was such a little model here...she was really working it...

Check out her expression!

Their dad loves to throw them up in the air...these are some pretty cute shots of it...man he throws them high!

Kadie {Salt Lake County Newborn Photography}

2010-09-03T13:07:00.000-07:00

This is my little sister's baby...isn't she sweet?! I may be biased, but I think I have the cutest nieces and nephews in the world! I wish we lived closer so that we could see each other more (subtle hint to my brother-in-law to MOVE UP HERE!) :) Due to a sick kid, we weren't able to get a huge variety of shots, but I think the ones we got turned out cute! Enjoy the sneak peak!

My kiddos! {Albion Basin Utah Photography}

2010-09-02T12:53:00.000-07:00

I never cease to be amazed at how hard it is to get my own kids pictures! It seems like everyone else gets scheduled in, and the next thing I know, it has been a year since I have done my kids pics! This year, I wanted to catch the flowers up at Albion Basin, and we did it! Barely! They were on their way out, but were still beautiful! It looks warm, but in reality it was COLD! My poor kids were freezing, but they held up well. Enjoy!

My little guy fell asleep on the way up there, and as soon as we got out of the car, a mosquito bit him right in the center of his forehead. This is a typical 3 year old (and MALE) reaction to picture day!

The many faces of my girls....emotions can change quickly around my house!

He has his Daddy's eyes...

"Hold you, Mama..." (That is the way he asks me to hold him.)

Come on, what guy wouldn't be thrilled to be surrounded by beautiful girls?!?! This one, obviously!

Thanks to his dads acrobatics, we were able to get a picture with them all smiling!

Rachel and John Wedding Day {Salt Lake Temple Wedding Photography}

2010-09-02T12:39:00.001-07:00

The big day was a beautiful one at the Salt Lake Temple! A bit hot, if you were the bride or groom, in all their finery, but beautiful nonetheless! I got a kick out of Rachel's dad at the temple. He kept things light...how about a game of Settlers, John? :) Congratulations on your wedding! Enjoy the sneak peak!

As I enter these, I realize we got a lot of kissing pics! Probably the only thing that kept John going through all the pictures! :)

Don't you just love the trim on Rachel's veil?

Couldn't decide if I liked color or black and white better...

Rachel {Thanksgiving Point Bridal Photography}

2010-09-02T12:18:00.000-07:00

It was a beautiful day in the Thanksgiving Point Gardens! I waited to post these pics until after the wedding, since Rachel didn't want John to see her dress before the big day! She looked beautiful! John is a lucky guy! As always, we had a bit of fun on the golf cart, driving around the gardens. Rachel and her mom, Deanna, have had such a big impact on my daughter, Shayla. They were her gymnastics teachers for years, and she how helps them teach at their studio. They are great mentors and examples to her, and I am grateful for them. Thanks for having me photograph the wedding!

Ben {Salt Lake County High School Senior Photography}

2010-09-02T10:07:00.000-07:00

This was a fun senior shoot! We started out in Ben's backyard, then headed out to Larry H. Miller Motorsports Park. Ben is a race car driver, and a great one at that! (Check out his website bencrosland.com).I must say, I have never shot at a race track before, and it was a fun experience! I mean, how many of you have ever driven a golf cart on a race track before?!?! I was really tearing it up at about 2 mph, I tell you! :) Enjoy the sneak peak!

Robison Family {Albion Basin Family Photography}

2010-08-05T19:39:00.000-07:00

The wildflowers are absolutely breathtaking up at Albion Basin right now! Going up there made me want to take my own kids up there for a few pics! Hopefully I can squeeze it in before the flowers are gone! Enjoy the sneak peak! Hope you like them!

Gotta have a silly one!

Andrea and Ben {Salt Lake County Wedding Photography}

Andrea is one of my Young Women from my ward, and it is so exciting to see her getting married to such a nice guy. I am proud of them for their decision to get married in the temple! We had fun at Thanksgiving Point, they were so relaxed, easygoing and fun to work with! Enjoy the sneak peak, and I am looking forward to your wedding on my anniversary in August!

My brother and his family were up from California to visit, and we did their family pictures while they were here. We had a lot of fun...I miss having them close by, and wish we could see each other more. Unfortunately, in our family, my nieces and nephews refer to me as "the aunt with the camera".... Oh well, some day they will be glad they have these pictures! The boys were patient with me! Enjoy the sneak peak!

Dallin was fed up with pictures at this point...

It took some "convincing" from his dad to get him to smile...

Derek wanted to join in on the tickling fun!

It wasn't until we mentioned ice cream after pictures that Dallin pulled out his smile!

This was a great day! The Salt Lake Temple was beautiful, as was the ring ceremony and dinner at Milcreek Inn that evening. I am so glad I got to know Jesse and Kristin. They are so fun to watch when they are together, Jesse is such a crack up! Best wishes in the future, and thanks for your patience in waiting for your pictures! Enjoy!

These friends of Jesse's kept me laughing...

This was one of my favorite cake cutting events ever...the pictures tell the whole story...

That must be GOOD cake!!!

Let's see if she is as nice as he was!

The gentleman to the end...

The little flowergirl wants some of the cake action. She is eyeing the grooms cake.

Is anyone watching?!?!

Grandpa to the rescue!

We finished off the evening with a very competitive bouquet throw!

I had a great time! Thanks for choosing me to be your wedding photographer!

It was a beautiful day for a wedding at the Bountiful Temple! Natalie and Zach are such a cute couple, and I am glad I had the opportunity to meet them, and be their wedding photographer. The reception at Walker Lane was incredible, with delicious food and beautiful surroundings. Enjoy!

Rachel and her mom have been my daughter's gymnastics teachers for years, so I was excited when Rachel chose me to by her wedding photographer! It is a small world, as I also discovered that John is friends with some of my other favorite clients, the English family! It was a beautiful day at Wheeler Farm, a bit windy, but it didn't end up causing us any problems. Enjoy the sneak peak! I am looking forward to the upcoming bridal session!

Baby Kade came to me on that magical day 5, and was a dream! I have never had a newborn smile so many times during a shoot! His big brother and sister were so cute with him...I did his sister Madison as a newborn. I can't believe how time flies! Enjoy!

The big day finally arrived for Scott and Elyse! They had their reception at Salt Lake Hardware, a location I have never shot at before. It was so unique and urban! I loved it! I am so glad I got to know this couple...best wishes in your life together!
