Kristin + David {engagements}

Do you remember that REALLY windy day last Saturday? Well this was that day! It was SOOOO windy! I ended up putting Kristin’s hair in a side ponytail to try to help her hair not blowing straight up in the air. About 2/3 the way through I had my sister meet us to do a cute braid in her hair to try to keep her hair down. I think she looked really cute! Hannah Goodrich did her hair (the first time!) and make up and Kristin’s eyes just popped! What a memory of a day for sure! Luckily Kristin and David are SO laid back and just really easy to work with-I love happy people 😀 We also did a few more picts a week later so she could have some WITHOUT the horrible wind.

Cassidee + Connor {engagements}

Cassidee & Connor grew up together, but never really hung out. On their first date they watched a movie on an inflatable screen and they think they watched Wolverine ;D They love going to concerts and are learning to play the guitar together. Connor made some “band” posters for the both of them and we put them all around them as they played the guitar. Although Connor was having some competition from another guy playing the guitar on the street! Their colors are yellow and gray and we went on a photo scavenger hunt and found a yellow door and a super cute yellow house and some gray walls too. I love just driving around and finding new locations! We ended the session on a VERY busy road getting picts of the mountains at sunset and felt like we were going to die as the cars and MANY semi’s zoomed past us. Thanks for being such troopers Cass and Conn! You guys are awesome!!

Lauren + Jake {engagements}

Lauren and Jake were my Deserving Bride Contest Winners. They are such a fun, amazing couple and I am so glad I chose them!!! Earlier that morning I did one of my angel baby sessions for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep and it was really hard. I was not feeling very happy or energetic. BUT as soon as they got there they were so excited to see me and do the pictures that their happiness was contagious. They were a perfect distraction and we had the best time! We drove all over Ogden where Jake’s grandpa used to be the mayor. Jake even threw out the first pitch at the new Raptors field when he was a little boy. Then we ended the night in my favorite orchard and got perfect evening light to have some fun sun effects, which Lauren loved. I can’t wait for our next shoot!!

Fire & Ice {inspiration shoot}

I wanted to do a fire and ice inspiration shoot and got some amazing vendors to help me. The make up and hair was done by Hannah Goodrich. The gorgeous gowns were provided by Janet at Danielle’s Bridal. The beautiful bouquets were done by Emily at Bloomstreet Floral. We were able to do the shoot near the Zermatt Resort and they were so kind to let us change and do hair/make-up in one of their gorgeous rooms. I had two great models, Navy and Natalie and they were such troopers in the cold! Thanks everyone for making this such a success!

Dani + Zach {wedding}

It was a FREEZING day at the beautiful Logan temple. The wind was so strong, which froze us to our bones! Poor Dani was almost blue! They were so happy and their family was so happy when they came out of the temple. Her grandpa even brought up a red and white vintage car for them to drive away in. Their reception was at the Lodge and they had such a great turn out of their family and friends.
