Photo Challenge: Shadows

A twist on "shadows." This one was a fun one!

Good Friends

This is one of my best friends and her extremely adorable family. I posted the black & white couples session we did but somehow never got around to posting the family. Let's just say this winter is a time for catching up... and that I am doing!

I could not believe her kids in this shot. Like perfect little angels... even big brother has his arm around his little sister. So cute!

Pretty much the cutest little stud ever!

The couch is an heirloom from Grandma... so so so amazing! I'm so glad they brought it.

He was pretty much done taking pictures and, of course, little sister is right there to console him. She is such a sweetie... one of my favorite personalities.

And my two beautiful friends... I'll just leave it at that. :)

Oh, P.S. Today is her birthday... we are the same age and we are old. Blah blah!

Photo Challenge: Self Portrait

Here's the setting: tri-pod, camera on timer mode, up in the canyon... no one but me. And I probably looked like THE biggest idiot trying to pose for my camera, then quickly running back and forth to check the shots. Oh well... I guess I'll do anything for a photo challenge! :) Well, maybe not ANYTHING.

The hardest thing to master on this was the focus, obviously. So I think most of the time I just got lucky. But oh how I do love my little black dress! One of my favorite finds!

Snow capped winter wonderland... aw the joys of winter. So cold! But we survived!

Check out her hat... isn't it so adorable? Enjoy!

Olivia & Chris: Part 1 - Getting Ready

Who doesn't love them some vintage hair... pin waves? So loving it!

I love this next shot...

The dress is on and feelin good!

Now for some finishing touches.

BTW, aren't the bridesmaid hats adorable? I love this girl's style!

The groom was easy... straighten this and straighten that... and... you're done!

How about a little "L-O-V-E"

On the most romantic day of the year...

I love hot and steamy shots like these where you wish it was you... crazy-in-love and looking fabulous!! I'm so thrilled these two asked me to photograph their wedding this weekend. The bride is my husband's cousin and she was absolutely beautiful!! I am dying to show you more... dying... soon!

BTW, I'm seriously contemplating about changing my photography name... ultimately I'm just tired of the confusion with it. It's obviously not a common name (at least not in Utah) and I'm just needing something else. I already have something else in mind... just not sure I'm going to be telling... YET!! We shall see!! :)

More weddings...

Today I had the fabulous opportunity to second shoot a wedding with the super talented Jessica Kettle. I really feel so lucky to have had this opportunity because this girl knows her stuff, plus, on a personal level she is completely genuine in every way. I know I always say there's more to come but really... there is more to come...

Be Mine...

From today... who knew that boudoir sessions could be so much fun!

So recently I joined a group on Facebook called "The Photo Challenge." A friend of mine started it in hopes of pushing people to think outside the box... so to speak. He gives a weekly challenge such as an object to photograph and the goal is to capture it in an interesting and intriguing way. So I think I'm going to start sharing my photo challenges here on my blog... it's been fun for me to get creative and photograph things that I probably wouldn't normally. So up above is our 2nd week's photo challenge: "something red"

And down below was our 1st weeks: "traffic signs"
