HandBags

I had a friend approach me that was doing a catalog design for her graphic design degree. She has amazing talent and I was super excited to help her out with the photos for the catalog. We got a couple of her friends to be models and went out and had a handbag-style photo-shoot! 

I always have a hard time narrowing down my favorite photos for blog posts, so sorry there are quite a bit here. 

A BIG THANKS to the beautiful models.

Watching Water Fall

My brother is quite talented. He has created a band Watching Water Fall and is recording his own album! All (nearly) by himself. He has wanted to take some photos and had some ideas of his own..so here is what we came up with:

I have to say that this photo shoot was adventurous! We wanted to go to a bridge and the river. I packed up my bike and kid trailer complete with kid, drum, glockenspiel, etc. and we were off!

Tyson took these while we were riding out to the location.

Tyson had the vision of hanging off the bridge. Awesome.

Behind the Scenes

Behind the scenes at the Snow Canyon Dance Companies photo shoot!
Wow what a blast this photo shoot was! 26 beautiful and talented girls! I was an assistant shooter for my good friend Randi at R. Gardner Photographs.

I assisted in taking portraits of the girls and loved every minute of it, even though my arms were super sore. Earlier in the day I had done a workout with my husband, rode my bike a couple miles, shoveled rocks for our front yard landscape, and then held a 10 pound camera at this photo shoot for almost 3 hours. I was not very smart! But it's all good, I survived happily :)

I just wanted to post some of the behind the scenes photographs I captured that afternoon. As you can see, we all had a lot of fun and hopefully we'll see them again next year!

Thanks Randi for letting me be apart of this! And thanks to Randi's husband Trenton for his help too! He was fantastic!

Jude's 1st Birthday

A couple weekends ago, I was able to photograph for my cousin's son's birthday. She also is a photographer! We spent a lot of time together that weekend (more to come on that) and got to know each other better. Her little boy turned one and I just had a blast photographing the party. Randi did a wonderful job decorating and planning this thing. I feel so grateful to have been apart of that fun day with them. Happy Birthday Jude!!

Addison is One!

Addison is One!

I can hardly believe it's been a year since I've seen this sweet little one at her newborn photo session.

Her mom had the wonderful idea of having this one year photo shoot at the Carousel. Genius! 

What a fun time I had doing this session. I was chasing her all over the place since she is a new walker! 

 Part two of the session we had a cake smash! I've only professionally photographed one other cake smash and it was a blast. I literally could not stop smiling when I was editing these photos. Addie was so cute and wanted mostly just the m&m's, as you can see in the photo below.

Happy 1st Birthday Addison!
