Emily King....Papers Edge

So last year I had the chance to take some pictures for my friend Emily and her AMAZING company Papers Edge. Not only does she have an the coolest art, she has an great, clean style that I love. And you will too.
A few days ago Nie Nie featured her work on her blog and her artist interview...go here
It is super fun seeing my photos in print again, and her great interview.
I need to scan the beautiful art she did for my Ella and Zach. She made each around their room colors and likes...beautiful.
Go see her stuff...she sells limited edition prints and things go fast. I am in LOVE with her missionary piece and want it for my sister.
See her full interview and my pictures here.
Lovely work Emily...I wish you all the success in the world!

Bates Senior Pictures {Portland, Oregon Senior Photographer}

There is something really great about talking senior pictures. It takes me back to the good old days of when I used to put a small beauty mark above my mouth to make me look more like Cindy Crawford. (don't be jealous you didn't think of it first) Which as a strawberry blonde is sorta hard to pull off.
But high school was a great time for me...I loved it. First loves, first time I got my license suspended (long story, but I am the BEST driver now trust me), I even went to college to be a music teacher..that is until I actually student taught in a high school and then changed my major to PR in my last year. Oh the choices and craziness. Good times. Good times.
Well onto this beauty. She is a stunner and pretty dang sweet..I loved that she is an equestrian. (I hope I used this term correctly, I know nothing about horses except that they are big, and seem pretty nice). Anyway, she had an awesome outfit and I loved how her pictures turned out. Here are a few of my favorites.
Thanks Rachel! Good luck with everything in your last year of high school.

Larsen Family...

Why oh why is there always so much to do. Cut me a small break, I moved, I'm trying to make some friends, I'm trying to start a business (again), and still trying to be a mom..trying being the operative word.
Well, the list goes on and I've managed to successfully do about 3 of those things. HAHA. I won't tell you which ones..however let's just say that this beautiful little family is one of my new good friends. (see one off the list)
Isn't she adorable. I mean the whole family is...but I'm pretty sure I could fit most of them in my pocket. I always feel really blessed that I some how luck out to find amazing friends.
And did I mention that her second daughter is great friends with my Ella? Convenient no?
I promise, (mostly) that there is so many more to come..but I'm trying not to put up anyones Christmas card pictures BEFORE Christmas. That would be a bummer.
Plus, I will have to take a picture of the AMAZING frames that we ordered when they get here.
So Happy Thanksgiving, and let's cross our finger that I get my blogging act together.

Olsen Family...

Well, these kids could not have been cuter. There is something so great about twins..I myself would fancy having a pair. (from my mouth to God's ears)
Especially one boy and one girl. (hear that?) I sure would like to have twins someday (sigh).
I will have to work on that for sure, the twins that is...
Thanks for letting me take your cute family pictures, hang out with my good friend from college, and start your art work for your new soon to be house. (fingers crossed..for the house this time, not the twins. But I would like twins. just saying.









Totally loved that I say "what do you want for Christmas?" and they just stopped...love that expression.

Portland Christmas/Holiday Special

At the request of local families, here is a similiar deal for you! Ho-Ho-Ho

Jen...{Utah Photographer}

In honor of Labor Day I decided to take this opportunity and labor. Honestly, I am so far behind at this point that I thought I would share my favorite 4 pictures of each group so I don't feel overwhelmed. (too late)
So, Jen is a stunning, SINGLE, student at BYU...(my brother thinks she is hubba hubba). Smart, stylish, single, and sweet. Can you beat that combo? I think not. Can you count all of the S's I just used?
These are just because pictures..or more pointedly, because her mom wanted them.
Jen- you have BIG things coming your way..and I hope if you go to New York, that I can come stay with you for weeks at a time. ;)

Taylor...{Utah Senior Photographer}

Man, I love me some good bone structure and a hilarious sense of humor. Taylor is a keeper girls..snag him while the snagging is good.
Here are some of my very favorites...and really he just did what I said, which is an even BETTER trait in a man!) ha. right husband?


um, my husband does not think that last comment was ONE bit funny.



but I stand by it.











I couldn't decide between the vertical or horizontal..but I do love a good sign.

JP workshop...

My new goal is to post AT LEAST once a week. Really, seriously, I promise.
These are from Julie Parker's workshop sometime last month. Keith Bryce designed the dress, and of course Julie's niece Rachel was the model, along with her fiance Spencer. It's truly hard to take a bad picture with Rachel hanging around.

The best part about workshops is getting to know the other cool photographers. It's great to hang out and get tips, chat, and network with people that love the same things you do. If you have not done a workshop, I suggest you sign up and take one!

Here are my favs.

COMING UP...TAYLOR'S senior pics.

Sonja and Patrick...

So, sadly I am posting pictures from back BEFORE Christmas. I really should just wait until next year at this point, but seeing as I'm in Portland now and it still feels like winter, what the heck!
I will tell you that this was possibly the coldest day I've EVER spent second shooting with my buddy Julie (um, if you haven't seen her work click and love her now).
I am really going to miss her and hanging out..(um. ps Julie you still owe me chips and queso from Chilies..just saying)
Anywho..seriously the most IN LOVE couple I've ever witnessed. It's so great to see the longing gazes, and constant touching..ah, young love.
How can you not just LOVE taking pictures at weddings?
Here are my favorite 5.
If you haven't had the chance to walk around Salt Lake Temple square during Christmas, the nativity scenes are hands down my favorite things...even cooler than the lights.



I seriously, seriously love everything about this picture
