Out of the Office

I just wanted all of you to know that I will be out of the office Monday June 25th - Wednesday the 27th. I am attending a photography seminar in downtown Salt Lake, given by Brody Dezember and David Salamone. It's called E2: Ever Evolving. They will be discussing everything from the photography industry to branding and workflow. Plus, we will go on some great photo shoots. I will still be checking email, but won't be able to respond as quickly as usual.

Reaching New Heights

On Saturday morning, bright and early, I met up with some friends to go rock climbing. This was technically only the third time I've been and it's always such a blast. We hiked a short ways up Ferguson Canyon to some beautiful granite cliffs, which apparently granite is a little harder to climb on. It's definitely a rush when you make it to the top. The guys did this awesome climb that was quite tricky (maybe someday I'll be strong enough and skilled enough to try). Here are some pics of our morning's adventures. (There's even one of me -- I definitely look cooler than I felt)

Vanessa's Bridals

This morning, Vanessa was a good sport about waking up at the crack of dawn to get ready for her bridals. We drove up Parleys Canyon to East Canyon, Little Dell Reservoir, and the Mountain Dell golf course. It was such a beautiful day, but nothing compared to how incredible Vanessa loooked! I love her lacey dress with sparkles at the bottom. The cut of the dress and her yellow sash accentuate her tiny waist.

I was so impressed at how Vanessa was so willing and excited to go anywhere I suggested. She walked through tall weeds, nearly got her dress wet by the lake, and followed me through the golf course with balls whizzing past. She totally worked it and we had so much fun! I am so excited for your wedding :)

Here's a SLIDESHOW with tons more images.

Morgan Wellness

Some of you may recall the portraits I took last year for Morgan Wellness. This morning I photographed Heather, who is a new employee, and Merrilee, who wanted to wear something other than black. Morgan Wellness is a holistic clinic that focuses on chiropractics and natural healing procesess, such as Reiki.

Thanks, Merrilee for having me come back!

Brighton

Every year for the past 5 years, I have taken the Brighton LDS Girls Camp Staff Photo. I always look forward to this photo because the staff members are so much fun to be around! They are a bright, spiritual, energetic, friendly bunch of amazing women who spend their entire summer up at Brighton (right on the ski resort slopes) to enhance the lives of young teenage girls.

This year I wanted to take some detail shots of the camp and of their surroundings. It is breathtaking up there! I am jealous that they get to be there ALL summer long. The drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon was so pleasant with the sun shining, blue skies above me, and big rocky cliffs covered in trees in all directions.
