Two for tonight

From my shoot with Jami this weekend. Couldn't resist playing around and had to share. More to come later....

JHS Seniors

This group of HS seniors (now graduates!) was a blast to work with! I seriously had so much fun. Add in some military fly-overs by HAFB, a lot of rain, and some lightening and we had ourselves a photo shoot! I'm grateful I had Jami there with me, or I don't think we would've made it. That storm moved in FAST and it got dark quick. Being reckless seniors (!) they asked if I would stay and take pictures of them getting soaked in the rain. Of course! Thanks so much you guys and congratulations on graduating!

Cameras & Lenses

Quite frequently I get emails asking what type of camera someone should buy if they're just starting out. I'm more than happy to answer questions, but I thought I'd direct you to a great blog that's dedicated to answering some of these types of questions! The blog is done by Drew B who is a fantastic photographer, but has put together a Mom*tog blog to help all those moms (and dads) out there who just want better pictures of their kiddos. And, let's be honest, who doesn't?

Anyway, she put together two great posts this week, one on camera bodies, and another on lenses. Go check them out!

Brianna Graham Studio

This was one of my favorite parts of the workshop. We got to play with all sorts of lighting setups, and seriously. Beautiful models? Yes please. :)

Mount Timpanogas Temple: On my wall

I just wanted to share! My Mount Timpanogas Temple print came yesterday and I heart it. A lot.

Here's the picture I took/edited:


framed on the wall (I love the swirly texture!):


The whole wall. We did 12x12 mounted prints of my kids (Sam came up with an awesome hanging system. They are about 1" away from the wall. You'll have to ask him to explain though), and the vinyl was done by Bekah Kleinman. You can see her stuff on Etsy here.

Graduation-- University of Utah

So, I told them right off that red is definitely NOT my favorite color, but that I would suffer through it. ;) This is my amazing aunt who just graduated with her Master's Degree from the UofU. Her daughters booked me to come take pictures so she would have something to show the grandkids! How sweet is that? She has 5 beautiful daughters, and has done awesome things with her life. Her youngest daughter was married the next day, so talk about a busy weekend! Congrats to all of you!



Her dad (my Grandpa) who is 95 years old. She's giving him her stole of gratitude.

School Pictures: The Country Loft Pre-School

These kids were great! It was rather last minute, but I'm glad we went for it anyway. All the teachers & staff at Country Loft were great to work with, and I'm very pleased with all the photos. Here's just a few of the kids, aren't they cute?





And one of the classes:

Salt Lake City Temple Wedding

As promised. This couple was so sweet & genuine to work with. They flew in from back East just to be married in the SLC temple. I really could tell how much they loved each other and how excited they were to tie the knot!

Okay... 2 more

Couldn't resist!
