heather & jay wedding

i shot heather and jay's wedding a while back at the ogden river parkway. it was a beautiful rainy day. it wasn't pouring so it worked great for pictures, but it was wet enough that they had to move their beautiful garden reception under the pavillion. instead of a wedding cake they had cupcakes that were delicious and made by adventerous cakes in ogden. heather and jay were so amazing to work with. they are both so fun, down to earth and just the nicest people i have ever met. i havd the best time. everything about their wedding was absolutely beautiful! congrats you two... you deserve the best!!!

sorry everything looks so pixelated. i need to figure out what the deal is and get it fixed?!?!?! click on the picture to see what it is supposed to look like.

today my baby is a 1st grader...

how sad is that? seriously. i can't believe it! they grow up so fast. last night before jayde went to sleep she cried and cried because she didn't want to leave me for the whole day. 8:45 to 3:30 is a long day for a 6 year old (and her mom). wish us luck in this new adventure we have embarked on.. until then here are a few 1st day of school pictures over the years...

checking out her new desk and classroom

i just want to tell jayde quickly how much i love her and how proud i am of her. for anyone who doesnt know jayde she is a dream child. she is so obediant and loving. she tries so hard in everything she does and is always trying to make mom and dad happy. i love you so much jaydee. you are the best!

new stuff! yay!

last night i attended the david jay free to succeed seminar. it was awesome! he had tons of great information and even showed us how to use lightroom! so i came home and bought it and am editing with it as we speak. it seems like an incredible program and i am hoping to speed up my workflow tremedously. i also bought his product show it web and have been playing around with it a little bit. it is way fun! click on the link below to view a slideshow i made from tiffany and derek's wedding.... enjoy...

anna and kile engagements

anna and kile are getting married in october and i shot their engagements at memory grove. these two are so cute and so in love. at the very end of the shoot anna wanted to get in the water for some pictures and as soon as she jumped in she started screaming bloody murder from the cold. i was laughing so hard i could hardley even hold the camera still long enough to shoot. people were staring at us to make sure everything was ok. i am so excited for their wedding! these two are so much fun! enjoy.... oh and thank you so much rebekah westover for the post on your blog about how to get bigger pictures. i have been wondering for so long and now i finally get it! check out this post if you want instructions

Let the countdown begin!

when you are waiting for something for so long, it seems like it will never get here. but now i am on a downward countdown of less then a week, hurrah! if i have not officially declared my LOVE for the jonas brothers yet consider this a declaration. call me crazy or childish, whatever, i dont care. heaven knows i hear enough of it from my husband, miley cyrus loving daughter :) and brother in law brock. still love you guys. at least savana is with me. she screams and jumps and almost has a breakdown if she sees the jonas brothers (she does the same thing with dora and disneyland though) but i just love them! so now their new cd comes out in a week and i am so excited. so let the countdown begin... 6 days and counting!

I am quite possibly the worst blogger ever!!!

ok, so i shot this incredible wedding clear back at the first of june, and here we are in august and i am finally blogging it. oh well. summer is just getting away from me too dang fast! camille and brad got married on june 11th at the logan temple. it was my first time shooting at the logan temple and it was so amazing! any future brides getting married at the logan temple (or anywhere:) call me!!! my husband knows brad from when they served their missions in new jersey. so when he called me i was thrilled to do their wedding. not only are camille and brad dang good looking, but they are also the sweetest nicest people ever! i only shot the temple portion of their day, but later that night i got to attend their reception as a guest! how often does that happen? and you would have never guessed from just looking at these pictures but it was colder than a warm day in winter. we were all freezing. that is utah for ya! beware of lots of pictures.....




check out these awesome people! they are all my past brides and grooms! heather and jay on the left, and tiffany and derek on the right. i love them all!









Jumping pictures are hilarious to me! I know they are sort of cheesy but I love them!
