Brittany and Scott

People can meet and fall in love in the most unexpected places. When Brittany signed up for an art class at BYU, she probably wasn't expecting to meet the love of her life, and she certainly wouldn't have predicted the circumstances. I mean, when you picture meeting "the one" for the very first time, they would normally have their clothes on, right? :)
As it turns out, Brittany spent hours sketching her future husband with a roomful of people, all while he sported nothing but a blue speedo (no nude models due to the policies of the church-run campus). I guess it gives a new meaning to the phrase "Love at first sight."
Brittany and Scott were very fun to shoot, and were easy to work with. We got quite a bit of rain (not that you would necessarily notice in the photos), but they were gung ho about the whole process and happily tramped around anywhere I suggested.

Trisha's Headshots

I shot Trisha's family last fall, and had a blast. They were so fun and happy to be around, that when Trisha called me and asked for some last minute headshots, I told her I would be delighted. Trisha is just getting into some modeling on the side, and we got some great shots to show off how gorgeous she is for her portfolio.

I love the red top; such a rich color... it adds the perfect splash of color here.

Sarah's Bridals

Utah Bridal Photography for Sara Tyau at Mt Timpanogos Temple and American Fork Utah
As promised, here are a few of the pics from the wedding shoot of Sarah and Jay that we did so Sarah could have some Bridals for herself and for her model portfolio. Sarah is gorgeous and I loved some of the poses and images we were able to get. My husband Thomas was along for this shoot and helped out with lighting... I think I am getting addicted to my light stand and shoot-through umbrella. :D

Shelby

While in Austin, TX, I had the chance of meeting up with an old friend and practicing some modeling photography. This entire shoot was in Shelby's backyard. It was a playground back there! So cool! Once again, my favorite part about working with models is that I don't have to tell them what to do. Shelby posed very naturally and was awesome to work with.

Brooke's Bridals

Utah Bridal Photography for Brooke in Provo Utah Brooke was looking to expand her model portfolio, and since a lot of the modeling work around her is in the wedding business, she found a white dress and a veil and we went to work. We wandered around Provo for a while, and found some really fun backgrounds in some unlikely places.
