the Young Family

First of all, I need to apologize for not posting in almost 2 weeks! Can you all forgive me? Things have been crazy for me and I just haven't been on top of my blogging....but I promise to stay on top of all my upcoming photo shoots :)

Second of all, meet my family! These are some pictures that I took a couple weeks ago before my little brother left on his LDS mission to Milwuakee, Wisconsin. It was a last minute thing, so instead of hiring another photographer to do it, I was in charge. I had to pose myself (which is quite harder than you might think) and I look pretty awkward in most shots.... Luckily, our neighbor came to 'snap the picture' so I didn't have to keep running back and forth.

As you can see, my two little nephews, Will and James, are growing up so fast! I love living close to them so I can play with them and see them frequently. They make me so happy! This is going to be the last family photo until my bro gets home in 2 years. I am so grateful for everyone in my family. The older we all get, the closer we become. I couldn't have asked for a better family. I love you guys!

Breanne's Bridals

I have been anxiously waiting for this day since I took Breanne and Riley's engagement pictures back in August. Breanne has such stunning, natural beauty. I especially love her eyes and her smile. For her bridals, Breanne wanted to portray elegance. We started at the Beehive Tea Room which has luxurious fabrics & drapes, quaint cafe tables, impressive murals, and classic furniture. It was awesome! (I must thank my friend Davina Fear who inspired me with her bridals done here earlier in the year). Then, we raced up to the U of U campus to finish up before it got dark. Breanne is so much fun to work with and I can't wait for her wedding day that's coming up in a few weeks!

Charlotte + Matt

Yesterday was seriously incredible. Matt and Charlotte were married in the Salt Lake Temple surrounded by their loved ones. This wedding was special to me because Charlotte was one of my friends from high school -- we ran cross country together. I don't think I have seen her since high school, so it was such a wonderful surprise when she called me a few weeks ago and asked me to photograph her wedding.

These two are so great to work with. They have awesome chemistry, you can just feel the love. Plus, they've both got beautiful smiles. All this makes my job so much easier :)
Even though they had never 'modeled' for me, they trusted me, did everything I asked, and acted so natural around the camera.

P.S. Sorry there are so many images! I couldn't narrow them down :)
