Karaline and Jake Engagements

Karaline is another sister of my brother in law's. I just did their other sister Katie's wedding last thursday and will be posting those pictures as well. Oh I have been so busy!!! Anyway... I had an absolute blast doing Karaline and Jake's engagements. First we went to Jensen Nature Park in Syracuse. Then on to Antelope Island. On the way out to Antelope Island there were a ton of seagulls. They would just fly in front of my car without a care in the world. I thought I was going to hit one for sure. Karaline was a little dissappointed that there wasn't a suset that night, but I love how the dark cloudy sky turned out. Did i mention the bugs and the smell? If you have ever been to Antelope Island you will know exactly what I mean. After we got in the water my legs were so itchy from the salt I had to go straight home and take a shower. Besides all of that, this was such a fun shoot and Karaline and Jake are such a fun couple. It was all totally worth it for the pictures we got! Everytime I would tell them to kiss Jake would giggle and blush. It was so cute. I am so excited to do thier wedding in August!!!

Hilary and Jeff's Wedding

Hilary and Jeff got married on June 8th at Ivy Lane. Hilary looked so gorgeous! And Jeff didn't look too bad himself :) It was such a beautiful ceremony. I loved working with these two. They were so much in love and so comfortable with each other. That always makes my job easy!!! I am so honored to have been a part of their special day. Thanks Hilary and Jeff!

Waiting for some posts? Well here they come....

I have been so busy these last 2 weeks with weddings, engagements and being a mom, that I have neglected my blog. So here is what I have been up to.....

Chelsey's Downtown Bridals

Oh my have I ever been busy! I did Chelsey's bridals last Saturday. She wanted her bridals in downtown Salt Lake and I was so glad! I love shooting urban locations. We had so much fun. I took her on a little adventure and she was so tough! She didn't complain about walking in heels, not once. What a trooper. I would've been whining, that's for sure. And I swear every car that passed, whistled or cat called out their window's at this beautiful bride. I am sure she was just lovin' it! Also I have been playing around with natural lighting a lot lately and I just love the dramatic effect that it produces. All of these shots are natural light and I just love it. I can't get enough of it! This bridals session was a blast for me and I have a lot of pictures to post, so bear with me...

This is one of my very favorites...

And another favorite....

I was posing her for the above shot when we had this guy ran through the background. And I mean he was really running. I am surprised I even got this shot. I just had to post this because it makes me laugh. Good old downtown Salt Lake!

Hill Family

The Hill's are some more of our neighbors and I just love this family !They are so much fun to be around. Cindy (the mom) kept apologizing about their kids being crazy the whole time, but that is what made it so much fun. I got some great shots of them just being themselves, which in my opinion are the best kind. The kids are just so cute and not shy in front of the camera at all. Don't they all look so darn good together!!! Hallie, the cute little red-head, is my daughter Jayde's age. They go to church and dance and soon kindergarten together. I had such a blast with this family. We went out for ice cream afterwards but instead of taking more pictures I had to chase my 1 year old Savana around and keep her in line :). Sorry there are a lot of pictures. I just loved them all!

Katie's Bridals

Katie is my brother in law's sister. She is getting married this month and we just went and did her bridals last week. We had such a great time, but we were really fighting the sun. I love the shots that we got out on Antelope Island with the beautiful sunset. It was a perfect night to go out. Then we did bridals the next night in Salt Lake and once again it was perfect weather. I am so glad I got to go out with Katie and her family and get to interact with them a little bit more one on one before the actual weddings (did I mention I am doing her sister Karaline's wedding in August? I will be shooting and posting their engagements at the end of this week so stay tuned....) Anyways... I had a blast and can't wait for their wedding. Thanks Katie!!!

Wowzaz!!! Look at those gorgeous lips!!!
