Elder Anderson {missionary photography}

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}

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...

DJ & Loralee {engagement photography}

As you can see I am working on completely re-vamping my design, branding and really my entire business.... I'll get into that more later.  Anyway, let me focus for now on the current shoot and all its awesomeness.  DJ has been one of my husbands good friends since junior high school and I have known him since high school.  He really is a sweet guy and you can definitely tell that he is way in love with Loralee. But really, how couldn't he be? Loralee... In the little time that I had the pleasure of getting to know her I was able to see that she is an extremely kind and genuine person not to mention the fact that she is drop dead gorgeous.  Thanks for the good time guys. Even though our session was what... last fall?  I can still remember it as being one of my favorite form the year. 

See how much fun these two are? And then... We get just a little classier.  I love the more elegant feel of this next series of images.

I'll end with probably my favorite photo from the entire session.  See, like I said... Total awesomeness.

Hey... I'm back!

So, yeah... I know it has been forever since I put up a post.  School and work have seriously taken over my life.  But, I plan on posting a lot more! Promise.  Anyway, if there is anyone still out there following me, I have some good stuff for you today.  I've been crazy busy with shoots lately now that spring is finally here. Although I can't post everything I have been working on right now, here is a sneak peek at three shoots that I am particularly excited about.  These girls are all freakin gorgeous and I had so much fun at each of their shoots.  Really with each session I think I spent more time laughing than shooting.  Thanks for letting me take your graduation photos you three, congratulations to all of you!

Don't worry, I will be putting up full posts of each of these sessions in the near future...  when I finally have time after I graduate myself!

Tami {bridal photography}

Tami made the most lovely bride ever! For real, even though at times it was freezing cold, she continued to look flawless.   AND did I mention that she had some amazing shoes.  I would have stolen them off of her tiny little feet if I thought they would have fit me.  Tami, I had so much fun with you and I cannot wait to get the photos from your wedding day up here too.  So, everybody keep an eye out because you wont want to miss what's coming.  

I was so in love with this location.  The colors and textures on this shed, combined with some amazing late afternoon light, almost got me giddy.   If you could have seen me on the other side of the camera I guarantee you would have been staring at a big old grin.

I will finish off with a classic bridal portrait just to show how gorgeous Tami's dress really was.
