The Peterson Family // Provo Canyon, UT

Seriously this family is adorable and they have become some of our really good friends! Steven met Brandon last year when they both were applying for the industrial design program. I truly believe that one of the reason's Steven felt prompted to go into that program was so that he could meet Brandon, which in turn I met Amy! YAY! I seriously feel so blessed to have their friendship. Two Saturday's ago, Brandon wanted to do a couples video of Steven and I. We didn't know until we go to the park, but when Brandon said it I couldn't have been more excited!!!!!! We never got a wedding video, since we had to pay for our wedding. I am really looking forward to seeing it, but take your time Brandon, I know you have LOTS of other projects and school.

Brandon and Steven both love videoing and both are equally very good at it! I am really excited to see what the video looks like. Brandon said it would take probably until thanksgiving, but heck I am just excited! Anyway! This family is just wonderful and awesome! So glad that I was able to take some pictures after Brandon filmed us! They are adorable in every way and they are just some of the NICEST people! Amy is one of the best mothers I know, besides me own mother of course. You can just tell how much she loves her little girl. Then again how could you not love that adorable little thang??

Well enjoy! Feel free to leave a comment if you would like. They always find me joy!

Thank you Brandon for shooting the video for us and thank you for letting me take these for you! Just adorable!

The Bills Family // Alpine Loop, Utah

The Bills family has a special place in my heart, your might already know why, based on my last name, they are my family!! I have been apart of this family for 16 months now and I have been so very thankful to be apart of their family.

Darren and Debbie have 5 sons and now, 3 daughter in laws. They have raised such amazing young men. Each are very smart and gentleman like. I know this from experience because my husband is one of the smartest guys I know and I have never been treated so well in my life! I know that Steven, my husband, would not turn out this well if it weren't from some amazing parents. I believe they have taught him very well. I know that he will in return make an amazing dad one day.

This family is just amazing and they also are so good looking! Take a look at these gorgeous people that I am so glad to call my family.

OOOOOH and I forgot to mention something VERY important. I didn't take the picture of Steven and I, my awesome sister in law took over the camera and took some beautiful pictures! She is also a photographer, check her out! Her name is Naomi. I am very thankful for great sister in laws. Naomi is someone I really look up to in the photography world. She's actually one of the photographers who photographed our engagements and wedding. You can also check those out on her blog!

Well now for what you have been waiting for! The Bills Family!!

And this is our cute little nephew, throwing rocks! My husband took this and I am pretty sure he was throwing rocks at MY CAMERA!!!! haha But look at him, how can you be mad, right??

The Beautiful Laura! // Provo, Utah

Laura has asked if I could take a few head shots for her and I was like YES!!!! Knowing two things 1. that the pictures would turn out awesome because she is BEAUTIFUL 2. I knew that I could take a few pictures that were more than just head shots! Seriously Laura is just so beautiful inside and out. She is the kind of person that you feel really comfortable around and is just genuinely nice. When you meet her you can just tell that she really cares about what you are saying and she is interested.

Laura is a certified Yoga instructor and personal trainer! She is in such amazing shape! She really knows her stuff when it comes to personal health and wellness. Not only does she well educated but she really enjoys sharing that knowledge with others. Being able to teach yoga and personal training, I think, really helps her to share that with others.

The First time I met Laura I was very impressed by her and I thought I think she would make a good friend, turns out that is true. It helps that she is just very nice. Laura is also SUPER devoted to serving the Lord and making sure she is doing things that are pleasing to Him. You can just see the light she has because of her great desires to learn from the Savior. So thankful for someone who is a great example of a true Christian and being faithful.

Thank you Laura for asking me to take these for you, it was seriously such a pleasure! OOOOH and I have to mention on kind of embarrassing thing. I have this lovely Pelican case for all my millions of SD cards. When I got to the photoshoot I couldn't find my case!! I was soooo embarrassed. My husband had taken them out for a video project he was going. Thankful Laura saved the saved the day and have a SD card for me to borrow! She was so patient and nice about it while I was just feeling so unprofessional and thinking she might take by wanting me to take pictures of her. But as you can see, I over worried! haha :) Well take a look!

These pictures were shot with my Canon 6D with the 70-200 F/2.8 L lens! :D

Steve & Cathryn's Wedding // Sundance, Utah

Yesterday I had an awesome opportunity to photograph a destination wedding in Sundance. Sundance is one of the most beautiful places in Northern, Utah! You can just look at these pictures and tell how GORGEOUS it is! Also another cool fact, to the North the sky was super moody and to the South it was gorgeously blue. That added a good variety to these images. 

I had a friend of mine second shoot with me, her name is Amanda. It was so nice to have her there and I am sure she got equally great pictures! It is always great to have another photographer there with you, especially since I had never met the bride and groom face to face until yesterday. 

Thank you so much Steve and Cathryn for allowing me be apart of your special day. You two are beautiful together and I know that you life will be filled with love and happiness!

Virgil & Raquel Wedding Day // Logan, Utah // Vintage Wedding

This was such a FUN wedding to photograph and boy was I so SUPER excited to photograph it when they asked me to be there! Virgil has been one of my closest guy friends since we met in University. I think the fact that we both enjoyed working out instantly made us friends. haha! If you work out, you know how that can bring people together. I met Raquel last April, and instantly I thought, yup they are so good for each other. Their wedding day was even more evidence to how perfect these two are together.

Their wedding day was SOOOOO hot, which added to the awesomeness of it all! It was the second weekend in a row that I shot in over 100 degree weather, so I was pretty much ready and prepared for their wedding. Their wedding was just absolutely fantastic and perfect. They had their reception the night before, which was something new to me, but I liked it. The cake scene was by far my favorite!

Take a look at the wedding video on this blog to see what had happened. I had never seen a cake scene like this, it was perfect for video.

Also did I mention, they had a vintage style wedding? How cool right? That is why there is a little vintage feel to these images.

Lastly, I want to thank Virgil and Raquel for giving me the opportunity to photograph their wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I loved the love that was between them! :) It was wonderful! Well ENJOY!

This was the first time he saw her :) LOVE!
