jess & nik's engagement book!

jess and nik decided to do one of the guest book's that i offer to my clients with the pictures from their engagement shoot! the final book is 8x11, and they are always a really popular part of the weddings! guests love browsing through the pictures as they sign, and then after the wedding, its fun for couples to display the books instead of the old fashioned guest books that we all have sitting in a random box in our garage :)

Check it out!

jess and nik

now this was a marathon engagement shoot! but it had to be because this is my first sister to get married!!! i'm so excited! jess and nik came up for their engagement shoot, and we definitely made the most of the time they had. they really have fun together, which is obvious in their portraits!

the first day, it was SO WINDY and absolutely FREEZING, so it was pretty miserable for all of us. we got some great shots, but we were definitely limited because of the weather!



































the second day, we went to a different location and the weather was much nicer! it was still a little chilly, but jess just pretended she was a swimsuit model shooting a catalog during the winter ;)























of course, i will be shooting wedding portraits for them too, so look for those in the future!

updates are here!

i know i've been talking about updates forever, but i'm finally getting them up! i added some cute newborn and engagement shots, but my favorite section that i've updated so far is the family "together" section. i left a few of my favorites, and switched out the rest. what i've got now completely defines the type of family work i LOVE to do. the candid, imperfect, beautiful relationships are what i really strive to capture with each family shoot. here are a couple of my favorites, but make sure to check out all the new stuff on my website!

















as soon as i get my computer back, "little ones", "older ones", and "weddings" will be updated as well!

taylor and craig's engagement book

just a little interruption in the utah sessions... i just finished taylor and craig's engagement guest book, and it turned out great! if you've never seen one, its such a cool idea - guests can sign around or over pictures and then the couple can actually display the book rather than those normal guest books that you will never look at again! these can be made out of family portrait sessions, or engagement sessions. the finished book is a hardback with a linen cover, and it is 8x11.

i loved this spot! can you tell?




i can't wait for the wedding!
