Smith Family: Utah Family Portrait Photography

Posted on Aug 3, 2010

So it turns out in the craziness of travel and work I totally missed posting a few shoots so I’m here to catch up.

Steven and Jenna used to live here in Vegas and made the move up to Utah last year. They also welcomed and beautiful baby girl, Lily, to their family. They asked me to photograph their family and I was so pleased to be able to squeeze their shoot in amidst four stats exams…yes, I finally got my diploma from BYU…only 4 years after I walked in my cap and gown. Shhh, I know, it’s embarrassing. But it’s OVER!

We spent a lovely evening at a park in Provo. The light was perfect and this family was so stunning
 it was a breeze to photograph them. Little Lily even woke up towards the end of the shoot. It’s a hard life for a one month old. Isn’t she sweet?

Heidi & Brad: Engaged/Married/In Love Las Vegas Engagement Photographer

Posted on Jul 28, 2010

I haven’t done many test shoots lately so it was a treat when my friend Mindy called me to invite me along on her expedition out to the dry lake beds a little south of Las Vegas. I had such a great time!

Heidi and Brad were our models for the evening. They were married in March so they’re in the blissful newlywed phase. So we shot some quasi engagements/day after photos. This was my first time out at the dry lake bed and I loved it. Nothing quite like a wasteland with some good looking people to fill it up. The love between these two was beautiful. So glad I was able to spend an evening with them, Mindy and Stacey!

Thanks you guys!!

Marissa & Adam: Engaged – Las Vegas Engagement Photography

Posted on Jul 26, 2010

Nelson, NV has a fantastic ghost town with a bazillion places to photograph. At $10 a hour per shoot you can’t go wrong. The guy that owns the places loves collecting antiques and when people started taking notice they wanted to photograph there so he opened it to the public. The collection continues to grow and it’s A-mazing.

Mindy and Stacey found Marissa through a local agency. They almost snagged another model for Marissa to pose with but then found out Marissa was engaged! So they decided to go with true love. And it was the best decision ever. Adam is building his portfolio so he was up for it. Marissa and Adam got engaged in Costa Rica and besides being models Adam is a firefighter! It was so great to work with them and commemorate the next phase of their lives.

Thanks for the wonderful morning! And special thanks to Adam for finishing his all night shift at the firehouse and then coming to shoot with us. What a trooper!
