Urban Flair

As much as I love chasing little ones around capturing those adoreable candid moments,

it is always so fun to venture out on a shoot with someone who does exactly what I tell them to every time!



This gorgeous girl is modeling hair extensions for the fabulous Aania and we went totally urban!

Seriously fun!

mission pictures - 18 months

This sweet girl is heading to Brazil in a few months to serve her church for 18 months.

no cell phone, no texting, no tv, no radio, no friends or boys or dating or family...

just 1 girl from Salt Lake City, one companion she has never met and the spirit of service!
And she is up for the task!

I am so excited for this new adventure on which she is about to embark!

She is beautiful inside and it shines through on the outside!

Thanks for letting me share in your mission experience, Janessa!

We'll be rooting for you back home!

Class of 2011 - having a blast!

I had such a great time taking Lara's pictures!

She is drop dead gorgeous and as sweet and fun as can be!

I had the hardedst time picking my favorites, so this post is going to be a little picture-heavy.

And her adoreable friend, Taeler, came along to make her laugh

(and I put her to work holding my reflector), so we got a couple of them together too.

We got some pictures of her by herself too, so watch for that on the blog.

And we even got a little silly...and laughed a lot!

I love doing senior sessions!

Rockin the Wheat Fields!

This session was just plain fun!

It helps that I got to hang out in some random fields with my awesome sister-in-law,

but we had such a great time capturing her spunky and fun personality

that we ran out of sunlight and had to call it a night!

Thanks for the fun times Shanae!

just gorgeous

Another fabulous styling by Aania...

and another gorgeous girl!

Love is Happy - salt lake portrait photographer

I was able to photograph another darling updo and makeover for my FABULOUS hair-dresser earlier this week...and I am wishing she could do MY hair and makeup every day!

This was the practice run for the wedding up-do, and I must say,

this girl makes being in love look just the way it does in the movies...happy!

Not only is she beautiful and smiley, she lived in my neighborhood growing up so it is even more exciting to see her all grown up and getting married!

Wishing you a wonderful road ahead K...even if it does include cinderblock walls! ;)

look out world - salt lake city portrait photographer

This girl has got it all! Looks, brains and zest for life!

We had a great time clicking pictures all over downtown Salt Lake City.

I made her climb on old tires, lean up against crumbling buildings and hike through the trees in sandals, just to find a perfect patch of colorful flowers! What a trooper!

So look out world, here she comes!
