Snapped this photo after a Back to School Mini Session with Amanda. This is why I love my 50mm prime lens. Look at that gorgeous background! "What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable." -Joseph Addison

It's always a privilege to take pictures for people and it's exciting when I get to take pictures for my friends. I grew up with Heidi, and let me tell you she is an amazing person. I've worked with her through high school and college, and it was a great experience to work with her and do her mission pictures. Fort Worth, Texas! Here she comes!

Some of my favorite things include the Salt Lake temple, spring flowers, sunny days, and photography. This weekend, while up in Salt Lake for a photo shoot, I had a chance to take some gorgeous pictures of the Salt Lake temple surrounded with flowers. One of my favorites, I thought I'd share with you all. I love it! And I've always wanted a picture like it, so it gives me an inordinate amount of pleasure. :) I hope you love it as much as I do!

And of course, as always, if you're interested in a print let me know!

It's spring, and that means prom season is here! It's time to break out the princess dresses, flowers, and the oh so lovely jewelry. Time to plan pictures and fun! I had the opportunity to photograph my brother's group informally before all the festivities began.

A shoutout to the wonderful Sister Gaisford who let us borrow her shaded driveway.

Part of being a photographer, is finding places to take pictures. We're always looking for an excuse to grab our camera and take a walk. One of my favorite places to take spring pictures in Provo, is the Provo River Trail. This trail runs all the way from Vivian Park to the Utah lake. Although I haven't explored the full trail, it has some hidden gems I thought I'd share.

Spring is in the air! There is bird song and blossoms every which way you turn. Flowers are coming out of the not so frozen ground. While walking on campus this morning, I managed to take a few pictures just with my cell phone, but it just wasn't enough. I went home as fast as I could, tossed a few things in my camera bag, and attached my 85mm prime lens. Blossoms are so fleeting, you have to take advantage of the moment before the wind snatches them away. Campus has gorgeous blossoms. There are pink ones, white ones, yellow ones, and so much more! There are daffodils, blossoms, hyacinths, pansies, and all the flowers I can't name.
