Wow, what a month! I apologize for my absence from the blog, as the weather got warmer, I started spending more of my time outside experiencing life and less of my time inside telling people about it online :) So here's a quick update, then I'll jump into the photos!

First, I've become obsessed with rock climbing. I love learning about it, doing it, and photographing it!

Still lots and lots of photography! I've done several family shoots, several engagements, a few weddings, many stock photography shoots (I'll tell you more about those later!), some corporate photos, and quite a bit of travel photography.

The travel is one of the things I've been most excited about recently. See, when I started to get into photography, I dove in head first and it became a business. I didn't even take the time to decide what kind of photography I liked, to learn about all the different options. I just started working and jumped into weddings. While I love weddings, this point in my life is a time of discovery. It's time to see what else is out there, what else I can learn. Here I am, 3 years after my first wedding and now I'm taking the time to learn about the art of photography - to discover why I really love it.

Most recently, I went on a road trip with my first intern, Justin Workman. He's done an amazing job with his own photography business since he worked with me, and it was a great experience to shoot together and see a new perspective. We left Salt Lake and drove South towards California (the jobs paying for the trip were in San Diego and Los Angeles). First stop: Zion's National Park.

I have very little experience with landscape photography, in the past I used to say "that's nice... but can I put a bride in front of this view?" It was a challenge to go through the park and just see the photo - I can't pose a mountain, I have to move myself. Can't make the rocks laugh, I only have light and angle to change how they look. But what an experience! I think I'm finally catching the vision.
