Why wait?

I read this amazing post written by a fellow photographer about the excuses we make to put off taking pictures. You have to read it, it's not only moving but true.

Is there a perfect time?

So what is holding YOU back???

Tut Tut, Looks Like Rain

Yesterday was May 24 and yesterday morning, it snowed here in Utah.

By the time I took these pictures it was raining so it was perfect for the feel I was going for.

iHeart Faces: Yellow

I have had this picture in my head and have been putting off taking it for too long. When I saw the theme for this week was yellow, I knew it was the perfect timing.

I'll post the rest from this shoot tomorrow!

La La La La Lola

I la la love this baby. She was not only beautiful at 10 days old, but she had the most amazing birth mark I've ever seen. It's a cross and it's over her heart.

Really. Cross My Heart.

Carly and Jordan - Just haven't wed you yet!







I love engagement shoots that have a story behind it.

These two went to a grocery store on their first date. He needed Drano, she needed Cheerios so they went to the store. When he proposed to her he played and rewrote the words to the song "Just haven't met you yet" by Michael Buble' to "Just haven't wed you yet." The music video for that song was filmed in a grocery store so I thought it would be fun to take some in one!






I know all these are totally cheesy but we had fun and they loved it!

The store we shot in had a sitting area upstairs so we did some there too.






Their theme for their wedding reception is French Country. Instead of a sign in book, they are having people sign pieces of fabric and then hang them on a clothes line. That gave me the idea to do this to go along with their theme:





I really enjoyed this shoot! I love that it was personalized just for them and they were so fun to shoot with! I love you two, can't wait for your Colorado wedding!!!

If you want to see how they felt about the shoot, here it is in their own words.

Update: I made it to the top ten! Woohooo!!

I just took this last week for a formal shoot I did and thought it would be perfect for this contest:
