Mark and Lindsey :: Formals

Okay, can I just say how much I loved photographing these two? Not only are they an adorable couple, but they were super fun, too. We got a ton of loving and cute photos as well as some where their personalities really shine through (like when they'd ham it up for the camera). Seriously, this was a great session.

We went ahead and got a bunch of their temple photos taken care of so that we could do it in a relaxed time frame and get all the shots we wanted without waiting on crowds or making people wait on us. This way we can focus on family photos and other detail shots on the day of their wedding.

 I really love this fig tree. . .
. . . and how cute these two are together.

This next one is one of my all time favorites of Lindsey-- 

 And how romantic is this kiss?

 

Once we were done at the temple, we moved the whole party over to the Museum of Art. They have a lot of variety on their little plot of land.

 Mark and Lindsey both play the guitar, and it was fun hearing them play for one another.

Lindsey's mom came up with the idea of using Orange Crush as their beverage for these last couple of photos. Cute, right?

These two get married tomorrow and I'm so excited for them. I'm sure it will be a wonderfully fun day, and I'm glad that I'll get to be a part of it.

Chrissy and Tamron

I wanted to add a couple of other photos from the Lees shoot from December... two of just Chrissy and Tamron. After all, it is the two of them together that keep their family going, plus they are just so cute together!

Aubrey and Shandon

This was a fun quick little Christmas shoot. I know I've mentioned it before, but I'm so grateful for the mild winters in Southern Utah. We were able to meet up one morning in mid-December and while there was a slight chill to the air, it felt more like fall than winter. The day was just lovely, we had a lot of fun, and we still managed to get quite a few photos taken... a win-win situation to be sure.

Petrosino family

Unfortunately, the day that we had scheduled for this photo shoot in northern Utah was a rainy, overcast, and cold day. Fortunately though, these are some of my best friends and they are such good sports. While my husband/assistant and I were bundled in fleece and coats, Bill and Mariah braved the elements with cute outfits and smiles.

I love when personalities shine through, and I have to say that I feel that really happened on this shoot. I already knew how much they love one another and how fun they are to be around, but I think that it really shows in the photos. 

I also loved that Mariah requested the following photograph of their shoes. While Bill left the house dressed up for the photo shoot when he left the house that morning, he decided to wear his comfortable shoes to the office and  forgot to bring his nice shoes... 

Heidi's Maternity Shoot, Part 2

Here are some of the photos I took of Bill and Heidi together during this maternity shoot. Part 1, which is all Heidi, can be seen HERE. I'm pretty sure that I'll end up making a part 3 to finish up this series... Like I said before, I just had so much fun with these two... so we ended up with loads of photos.

Tim and Genevieve at Red Cliffs

I love taking outdoor portraits. I try to go different places each time, but I will be coming back to Red Cliffs. There is so much variety, and it is local to me, so why not?

As I mentioned before, these two were a riot. There was a lot of giggling, laughing, and tickling going on during this session. I love how they could just be themselves and let loose, and it was fun hiking around with them to find fun spots. 

Tim and Genevieve as seen through the lens of my Diana Mini

These are all out outtakes from my time with Tim and Genevieve. They were taken on my Diana Mini while hiking around with these two. 

Tim and Genevieve Polaroids

These two are so cute together. They were really fun to photograph, when I could photograph them. There was a lot of laughing going on during this session. 

These photos were taken at the Red Cliffs Recreational area outside of St George, UT. I used one of my Spectra Polaroid cameras and PZ 600 Silvershade film from The Impossible Project. This film is a lot of fun to use. It can result in black and white photos in the cold or sepia if the shots develop where it is hot. As you can guess, it was a hot, hot day when I photographed Tim and Genevieve. 

I'll share more of their session soon. The colors around Red Cliffs are just amazing. 

Polaroid Wedding Day: Cami and Andrew

A few snapshots of the wedding day. Cami and Andrew and Cami's folks. All good people. I was so happy to be a part of their special day.

Holga Couple

There is something so simply clever about snapping portraits with a Holga. It never fails to bring out smiles with its bulky plastic body and clicking shutter. People have asked me if its for real, and I assure you that it is. The model that took the photos below has not only a plastic body, but also a plastic lens. That's how the images end up so awesome. Seriously, the plastic lens has a sweet spot wherein objects are a little more crisp, and then everything else goes all dreamy and soft-focus. This camera has been a long-favorite for road-trips and other artsy shots. So I'm really pleased to be able to use it on willing participants. 

Yet again, a few more images of Cami and Andrew, shot on location at Kolob Terrace, in southern Utah. 

Cami and Andrew, digital

Here are some of the digital images from Cami and Andrew's shoot. We were blessed to enjoy a wonderful afternoon with lighting that changed dramatically from one minute to the next.
