Kate...

I love these senior shoots. They are so fun, and this beautiful girl is one of my favorites. She has been one of my vocal students, and I adore her mom! Can't go wrong with that combo...

"Get Schooled" with Julie Parker...

A couple of weeks ago I had the fun chance to go and participate with my very favorite photographer Julie Parker, in one of her "Get Schooled" workshops. She is my mentor who taught me all the great things I know...(I'll take credit for all the bad stuff).
She had about 5 families and her niece come and model for us as we shot away. We all tried to get the best angle, (in the 23 degree weather in Utah), and watch how Julie posed the families.. the best part was being able to ask all the questions that come up when you are in the middle of taking pictures for people.
Julie was also taking pictures for Mikarose where her niece models their great and modest dresses. (aka the cute red dress down below) So fun to see her in action!
Thanks for inviting me Julie..can't wait for the next one!

Kirsten and the boys...

This was a great shoot with mom and her two boys. I love taking pictures of boys because they are always so great to catch doing the "boys" things...shooting guns with your fingers, doing the worm on the ground, messing around with mom, and jumping as high as possible. This is a great looking family!

Senior Pics...

I remember the days of my high school graduation. The excitement, and fun, and the "wait, what the heck now?" moment. It was really a few short years ago, I promise...well, more than a few, but enough about me.
You may have seen this pretty girl in the BFF post a while back, and now it's her turn. I swear if I didn't already think of myself as "Bella Swan" (don't act like you don't know who I'm talking about) this is exactly what I picture her like..sigh.

Thompson....

I am almost ONE full week behind. Where does the time go? I still need to post the pictures from the incredible workshop with Julie Parker. It was great to see other photogs in action and get advice from Julie..more to come later on that.
Oh, the Thompson family is the greatest mix of fun, beauty, and the good old age of 16! Yep, remember what that time was like for you? Then imagine your parents hiring a photographer to document the love..as you can tell the LOVE was felt.
Don't think I didn't have to start singing to illicit a response...mostly the response was "i think you are lame!" :) ahhh well, to be young at heart!
