Tyler, McKenzei & Tylee {family photography}

07 April 2011
Tyler and McKenzei are getting married in May and I could not be more excited!  Tyler is my husbands brother and we have just been waiting for this marriage to finally happen.  We have all loved McKenzei since she started hanging around the family, especially Tyler's little girl Tylee.  They make the cutest family ever which makes for some amazing photos.  I am usually able to pick out my favorite images from a session but somehow I am in love with all of these photos.  Congratulations again Tyler and Kenzei; good luck picking out your favorites... I think you'll need it!

I am still working on editing this shoot but I wanted to show this one photo now because it is just too gorgeous not to share.  More to come soon...

Bella {senior photography}

15 March 2011
As I was getting ready for this photo session I was a little iffy on whether the weather would cooperate with me.  I swear the weather is bi-polar in Utah as it switches from warm spring weather, to pouring rain, and then back to bright sunny skies all in one day.  Luckily for me, the skies were on my side and it  was absolutely perfect once I met up with Bella. Ideal soft light with the sun peaking out every so often to add just the right amount of flare.  Ok, I promise I am done talking about the weather... On to this gorgeous girl! Bella made my job SO easy! Just look at that amazing smile.  She was a natural in front of the camera, workin it like a pro.  Bella is a very outgoing girl so I was hoping I could have some fun with her and she did not disappoint.  She embraced all of my crazy ideas and was totally willing to do everything I asked including walking through a freakin freezing cold stream.  I LOVED working with her!!!  Thanks again Bella for letting me take your senior photos.  Good luck at Dixie next year!
This first photo is literally one of my favorite photos EVER!!! I love everything about it.
There's that fun lovin girl I was talkin about! When Bella got in the water she looked totally comfortable and relaxed so I thought I would  waddled my pregnant little body into the water with her...  It was FREEZING! But, she worked it out and again my freezing toes were totally worth  the final images.
Look at the amazing light in the photo above and to the right.  Yeah, I know.  It's amazing! This set up was Bella's idea and I could not be happier with the end result.  I love when my clients try their own ideas out.

Elder Anderson {missionary photography}

13 February 2011
It was so easy to taking awesome photos of Elder Anderson.  Look at this kid, doesn't he have a classic movie star vibe about him or is that just me??? Anyway, I am sure that he will make an amazing missionary.  Good luck out there Elder!
The photo on the right is what really just puts that movie star look over the top for me.
Now you can see where Elder Anderson gets his good looks.

The Andersons {family photography}

08 February 2011
Wow! What a beautiful family the Anderson's are.  Not only are they a good lookin' bunch, they were also one of the nicest families I have had the pleasure of working with.  Even with some cold temperatures, which resulted in completely frozen toes, and seriously bright sun, no for real it was blinding at times, we were still able to get some great images that have already made my top 10 list of favorite photos for the new year.  Yes I know it is only February but I really do think that some of these photos will stand out above the rest as the year goes on.  Anyway, thank you for letting me photograph your families gorgeousness... After how giddy I was upon going through all your photos it was totally worth freezing my toes off!
The Anderson kids instantly knew how to work it in front of the camera.  The boys were looking all GQ and the girls...
The girls had the most amazing blue eyes ever!
FYI, the Anderson's oldest son just barely left on his LDS mission so, be on the look out for his individual photos coming soon...
