     These two children were absolute treasures.  They were absolutely adorable and had so much fun playing together.  I had an EXTREMELY hard time narrowing down their pictures.  In fact, after several attempts, I gave up altogether.  They were just too cute.  Here’s a quick sample of their children’s portrait session.





Valerie & Kevin: And they lived happily ever after.

16 07 2009

     You know how, in fairy tales, they simply end with “and they lived happily ever after”?  It’s an entire conclusion in one sentence.  It’s as if the writer is trying to say, “You know how absolutely wonderful this couple is for eachother, so what else could possibly ever happen other than that they live happily ever after?  What else could happen to a couple so perfect for eachother?”  I feel like saying that  about Valerie and Kevin.  Granted, no matter how wonderful of a couple you are, we still live on a place called Earth and we still have to make through an event called life.  Everyone experiences changes – and everyone must make it through hard  times.  Fortunately, these changes and trials can shape who we are and help create that state of happiness we continue to seek for. 

     I do believe in happily ever after.  Yet, I feel that it’s not a destination, but a state of existence.  It’s something we experience as we go through good times and hard times with someone we hold absolutely dearest to our hearts.  It’s something we create by always looking for the best in others and being content with the changes in our lives.  It’s believing that these changes help improve who we are and make us stronger as a couple.

     So, here’s to happily ever after.  A totally acheivable, yet absolutely untangable place where two people can be in total, indefinite, wonderful love.  Congratulations Valerie (or as my second child likes to call her – Ballerina) and Kevin! 





Lucky Me.

     It’s always enjoyable to photograph a wedding.  After all, it’s one of the most important days in a person’s life.  Months of planning have gone toward preparing for one amazing day where two people join together in the bonds of matrimony.  Pretty amazing.  What makes it even more enjoyable is when the bride is a good friend and her groom is a perfect match. 

     Such is the case with Valerie and Kevin.  Honestly, I’ve rarely seen such a well balanced couple.  You could tell by the way they interacted that they truly are best friends.  Congratulations, you two! 

     I know you’ve been waiting ever so patiently, so here’s a few pictures from your post-session.  Wedding day pictures are coming next!





So, here’s the problem…

Late last fall my sister, Wynona, took some amazing portraits of our family.  I’ve been meaning to blog about them for months.  The problem is, it has been extremely difficult to narrow down which images to post.  So, after much travail, here’s a few of the fabulous pictures that I love!

If you haven’t checked out Wynona’s photography, I definitely recommend it.  If you’re looking for life-style photography that’s emotive and unforgetable, book her for one of her coveted sessions.  She’s based out of the Salt Lake City area – Ogden specifically – and I would recommend her to anyone within driving (or even flying) distance.  She’s that good.
