Meet Riley & Sophie...
These two sweeties were so fun, and had a great time running through fields and jumping stepping stones across the creek...
Jenni & Chad will be celebrating their 12th wedding anniversary this fall... Congratulations! Still bringing on the hotness!
I'd bet these two kiddos get just about anything they ask for when they smile like this for their Grandma! Truthfully, had there been a Toys R Us nearby I might have been tempted to spoil them -- they are that sweet!
This arch is hidden in a beautiful spot in the woods. Looking down to the water far below made my stomach jump, so I was thankful for the fence separating me from the edge of that big hole. That might be why they are all smiling so much, it took a lot to release my death grip on the rail!
The Cherney's family portrait session included everything I love about my job... a fun family to shoot, lots of laughs and a beautiful & scenic outdoor location.
Jenni & Chad -- you have a beautiful family, thank you for a great session!

"Rain on a wedding day is considered good luck - with the idea that a wet knot is harder to untie... since marriage is often referred to as tying the knot."
Brooke and Curtis planned a beautiful outdoor wedding on the Gallivan Center Plaza in downtown Salt Lake City. The skies threatened rain, the Weather Channel predicted scattered storms, and our afternoon view out the window of the bridal suite looked like this...
We were blessed with sunny skies just prior to the ceremony... enough time for the bride & groom to have their "First Look", and to shoot formal pictures of the wedding party and families. The bridal party made it back out of sight... and then, before you could say umbrella, the rain came down. And, I mean it poured!
There was a mad scramble to bring all of the chairs under the trellice, and the wedding guests took cover. At one point I counted 30 umbrellas up in the air, not including the parasols Brooke and her attendants were carrying. I worried for Brooke & Curtis and all of their plans, until I saw Brooke come down the aisle with her father... look at that smile! What's a little rain anyway, right?
The way that Brooke and Curtis looked at each other during the ceremony was just heartwarming. True love, best friends... surrounded by family and friends in their moment.
Shortly after the ceremony, the rain stopped and the sun came out... in time for guests to enjoy cocktails and dinner on the plaza.
I was very excited to see all of Brooke's planning come to life. Their wedding colors of Green, Black and White were so vibrant and were reflected in so many different elements... right down to the candy treats!
The happy couple...
Congratulations Brooke & Curtis! Cheers to a long and happy life together!

Brooke's wedding gown is so beautiful! She had the tailor add this side bustle option, to show off some of the extra detail of her gown with a quick button.
A gorgeous bride to be!
Don't you just love the laced detail of the back of Brooke's gown! Stunning!
I fell for these windows of this old factory the moment I drove past them & couldn't wait to shoot a session with them as the backdrop.
And just as we were thinking it would be so cool to have a train come through the scene...
there it was...

Beautiful little Millie is two weeks old, and just precious! She is such a sweet baby and her parents and big sister love her so much!
I am just loving the soothing wall color in her nursery, and I think Millie will too.
This is just a sneak peek until we create her baby announcements and they are in the mail... so, until then... Enjoy!

When my oldest son was 4, he dressed up like a pirate every chance he got. This lasted for about a year and a half. He would wear his costume to the grocery store with me and wonder why people smiled at him and said "Arrrgh!". Pirates of the Caribbean was a big hit, and he couldn't get enough of it. He begged his Grandmother to sew him a Captain's jacket to add to his costume & she did him proud.
Now my 3 year old twins have found the wonder in dress up and imaginative play. We often have pirates or cowboys running through the house, off to their next adventure.
I love it. I love to hear the stories, the giggles, the songs. "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me!" To be invited to be a character in their story is the ultimate compliment...
even when they make me be the alligator.
