Just had to Share NOW!



OK, so I have so much work to catch up on. I know I have a few clients in line before this post, but while I was editing, I got so excited about these photos! I've been working on some new creative lighting techniques, and although I have a ton more to learn, I really love the way these came out! My apologies to my other clients, but I promise to have your photos up very soon! I'll never skip again!

I love the way these turned out. It always helps when you have a terrific subject to photograph. It makes life so easy! I have more work to catch up on, but I just wanted to share a little bit right now! Let me know what you think!

Sneak Peek: Megan & Sete:: Seattle Wedding Photographer

OK, I'm almost caught up. I just wanted to post a few photos from what I'm working on right now! Can you believe it? We had the heavens open in Seattle, and had a window of no rain for all the time we needed to take some great photos! Prayers do work, and it was a blessed day. Especially for the happy couple!

I've got some other great photos I'm working on getting done, but I just had to put a couple of these up! Once again, one of the many reasons I loved my trip to Seattle!!

Congrats to Megan and Sete!!

Seattle Trip! I love that place!!

Ok, I've been to Washington State a few times before, but never really did any sightseeing. My wife encouraged me to make good use of my free day while I was there and be a "tourist". Thanks to my good friends that were hosting me, I didn't actually have to find my around by myself! I got the VIP treatment while I was there and I had a great time!

A lot of times when I go checking out things, I forget to bring out the camera. It was impossible to not want to take photos of all the interesting things I saw. I had so many photos running through my head as I took in the whole atmosphere.

I really wanted to check out the fish market that I've seen on TV a few times before. Sorry I didn't get a great photo of the "flying fish". The whole downtown area of Seattle is amazing. So much diversity and culture. I loved my whole trip to Seattle, but I missed my family so much. I need to take them next time!

Enjoy some of these photos. Keep in mind that these photos really don't match my strengths or style of photography. Never the less, I love some of these photos! I love Seattle! Actually, everywhere I went while I was there was beautiful. It's a place I wouldn't mind living some day!

I'll be posting photos of the wedding I covered while I was there, very soon!!

Nikki and Dan:: Utah Wedding Photographer


I really enjoy telling a story with photos! I believe the story at this wedding is so easy to see, especially on the faces of the beautiful bride and handsome groom! I took Nikki's bridal photos a little while back. We had such a great time and I've been looking forward to this wedding day ever since!

Everything was perfect on this day! Nikki and Dan seem perfect for each other too! I truly enjoy photographing weddings. I enjoy the people I meet, the photos I capture, and the "sweets" I get to take home to my kids! The photos can't do this candy table justice! Believe me, it was a candy paradise. The goodie table was amazing as well!

Congratulations to Nikki and Dan, and best of luck in your new married life!!

Atuaia Family Photos:: Utah Family Photographer



I'm a huge fan of "In the moment" photography. It's a good thing too, because trying to get these 2 little guys to stay in one spot for more than 2 minutes is nearly impossible. I had so much fun with the Atuaia family.

The sun seems to be setting so early lately. Starting family photo shoots earlier in the afternoon makes scheduling a little more challenging, but we finally nailed down a time that worked. It also happened to be the last day of "decent" weather here in Utah. Every day after this shoot has been so cold, and even a little snow, so we we're lucky to get this done!

I love the candid shots from this shoot. Capturing these moments and looking at them later when I'm editing always makes me smile!

Thanks for a great shoot guys!
