James Family With A Dabble of Film

August 31, 2012 Posted inFamily

Meet my dear, sweet friends, the James’ Family.  We met Matt and Krista through our student ward.  We regularly got together for dinner parties that were always scrumptious!  Just a couple weeks ago Matt and Krista moved to Oregon for Matt to get his masters and boy, do we miss them!
Happy Birthday tomorrow Krista! xoxoOne great thing about photographing family friends, they let me play with my new film camera.  Oh! I love the look of film!  I can’t wait to show you more of my personal work, all done on beautiful film!

I love and miss this little girl!  Here’s to hoping I make it to Corvallis really soon for a visit!

Baby Lucy’s Birth Story

August 13, 2012 Posted inBirth Story

Last month I had the opportunity to photograph my friend, Terra’s second delivery.  She had a C- section scheduled but started to go into labor before then. It was a fun whirlwind call when I received the ‘we’re going to the hospital’ text a week early.  Luckily, everything was okay with both Terra and baby Lucy.  I wasn’t allowed in the room when they actually did the C-section but I loved spending time with Terra and Josh in her room before delivery and the recovery room with Lucy.Terra had a wonderful nurse, Marie.  She was really positive and upbeat the entire time.My favorite photo of the day: the proud papa with his little girl.I took hundreds of photos of baby Lucy’s birth story.  The best way to have a sense for what a birth story is like is to watch this  little video.  Congratulations Josh & Terra!

Jenni & Apostolos Wedding

August 8, 2012 Posted inWedding

One of my favorite things about photographing a wedding is capturing the first time a bride and groom see each other.  Jenni and Apostolos opted to see each other in the beautiful Island area in the heart of Logan.  Not only was it a beautiful area, it was a sentimental place for Jenni because we were in the beautiful canal area above her parent’s home.  Due to wearing her mother’s delicate and beautiful lace dress, we opted for formals the day before their wedding to preserve the quality of the dress.


This DIY outdoor wedding reception was stunning.  I loved the attention to details.
Congratulations Jenni and Apostolos!  Thank you for including me in your beautiful day.  I wish you both the best with your new home in California!

My Utah Vacation

August 2, 2012 Posted inJournal

Last weekend we went camping with some friends to Strawberry Reservoir.  My husband thought I would be too delicate to go camping.  I guess wearing my flip-flops wasn’t too convincing.  To be honest, I love camping and as long as I have my camera, I’m okay anywhere! Even in Utah county:)Logan Utah Wedding Photographer pedicureCraig’s favorite thing was seeing the marine and wildlife.   I wish the fishing would’ve been better….but it’s the dog days of summer and the fish are lazy.  :)Logan Utah Wedding Photographer Crawdad fishinghawk flying photographed by Logan Utah Wedding PhotographerLogan Utah Wedding Photographer Strawberry ReservoirThe flowers, grasses and trees were beautiful.  It was great to be out of the hustle and bustle of everyday Logan life and visiting another area in Utah.  It’s amazing all the beautiful things in Utah I haven’t seen yet.  I hope next year to make it hiking in Zions.Logan Utah Wedding Photographer yellow flowerLogan Utah Wedding Photographer purple thistlereflection Logan Utah Wedding Photographeraspen print Logan Utah Wedding Photographeraspens Logan Utah Wedding PhotographerThe thing that literally stopped me in my tracks: the skies.  I saw the most beautiful sunset.

A Wedding Dress Refashion

July 31, 2012 Posted inWedding

I love the story behind Jenni’s wedding dress.  Her mom, Nila, purchased this beautiful full length lace gown.  Nila mom never had a chance to wear it because her wedding plans changed…she eloped with Jenni’s dad:) Jenni thought that it would be a great tribute to her parents to wear this dress.  Jenni re-purposed this dress with a beautiful bird cage veil, adding some lining, and modern floral belt to update it.  I love how it turned out!
