A recap of last week...

I have decided that rather than battle trying to blog everyday I am going to try for once a week. I have so much material but I am going to start over and move forward cause with wedding season upon us in the spring I am beginning to get busy with bridal and engagement sittings.

I am thrilled with this upcoming season. I have so many things I want to do and try and then in March I am going to Vegas for WPPI, a photographer conference. I can't wait. I have a lot of fun weddings booked. I will be in Long Island, New York in May for a fun wedding. I look forward to spring here though cause it is incredible.

Anyway, here are two couples who I got to know this week. I look forward to Dan and Laurel's wedding coming up in March. Great people.

Sorensens extended

It's hard to believe that it was like 20 degrees outside. We did this shoot in perty near 10 minutes. Gotta act fast this time of year. This was taken at the mouth of Butterfield Canyon near Kennecott Copper Mine on Friday. I have been doing a lot of family shoots lately, for a time everyday for almost two months. I love it.

Anyway, I can't say enough about the Sorensens. I have learned so much from them over the 18 years that I have known them. Growin up I had my own bed at their house I was over so much. Some of the greatest people I know.

Sorensen Fam

Had a great time the last few days with the Sorensens. Been friends longer than we haven't!!

MUSTANGS!!!

These boys are rockin'. They are having a great season. I didn't know too much about valley football till I took these images. I am a big fan now. I wish these boys luck today against Salem Hills. No Mercy boys!!

Bingham Family

Some recent pics of places we have gone...

This is that bridge that many have seen wobble and fall into the sea. It was rebuilt.

Whitney and Skyler

I seriously should be slapped for not posting hundreds of postable images. I have put all my energy into my photo shoots which have been almost daily for the last two months with the exception of a trip to Lake Powell. This photo shoot features Whitney and Skyler who are friends of Heather and Derrick who you may remember from previous blogs. Great people!! Always an adventure. I have so much more that needs posting so heads up.

LDS Temples

I photograph a lot of wedding at various temples mainly in Utah and I take shots sometimes of just the buildings. Here are a few from the last couple years.

National Forest Service Archives

I found this link to the National Forest Service photo archives. It is a treasure. It is all public domain and therefore if you are American, or have the internet you can right click and download images from their vaults. I eat this stuff up. I have shown a few. There are really some amazing images. You can search for historical photos on their website at: http://fs.usda.gov/

My family, on my wife's side

Our photo shoot up at Tony Grove last Saturday. The bugs were so numerous it almost blackened the skies. This is a photo of my in-laws who have always been great to me. I couldn't ask for a better couple to emulate in so many ways. Anyway, it was a dandy time. This week I have two family reunions, three bridal shoots, and a wedding. I am open for more family sessions. The cost is $100 for an outdoor session (indoor is $200 cause it is boring) and a la carte pricing for enlargements. Anyway, a busy week all over the place.

Mission time

A couple weeks ago I photographed Evan's brothers wedding. Evan is heading out to Brazil soon. The shot on the bench reading is a mimic of a photograph I have of my grandfather sitting on a bench reading. I never met my grandfather but he served a three year mission in Argentina for the LDS church. He started the first primary in Argentina and the first foreign exchange program at Utah State University and I believe U of U. What is amazing is that prior to serving in Argentina he was 4 years in World War 2 and aftermath. He has some amazing black and white images that he took from all over the world. He died when my mother was 6 but from what I read we have a lot in common. Evan will have a great experience in Brazil. I wish him luck.
