Sienna's Birth-Sept 14, 2007

I missed the actual birth by 5 minutes!!!!!! There aren't enough exclamation points to express my frustration with that. Wrong freeway exit, wrong hospital building and running on foot. Man.

I'll tell you what wasn't wrong...that baby. She is perfect. Jackie ended up having her natural which should give her bragging rights for the next 5 years or so...maybe a lifetime of bragging if you ask me.

I loved being able to see mom, dad and aunt ooh and ahh over her and unlike most births I had more than my fair share of holding time. Thank you so much for letting me be there to capture all the "after" moments...those are the ones people really want to see anyway. Love you guys.

Becky & Dustin's Wedding-SLC, UT

Its taken me a while to post these because I have been busy on the new website...These are some of the images from this wedding that are going to be showcased in the new site. Becky and Dustin, the rest of your pictures will be online to view in the next few days.

The best part of shooting this wedding was definitely hanging out with the bride and groom. They were so laid back and open to any idea I had. They were just so easy to work with and I could tell they have a great relationship with each other. At his own reception Dustin was even asking if he could bring ME a drink of water! So thoughtful.

A highlight was watching Becky run back to give her dad a hug after she had gotten in the escape car and drove away. It was such a sweet moment to be there for. How lucky am I to get to experience all these meaningful moments in other peoples life's?

Family Documentaries

I believe the best way to capture the true nature of a family or a person is to photograph them doing what they normally do, where they normally do it with the people they normally do things with!

So much of family dynamic has to do with life at home on just ordinary days...sitting around a dinner table, brushing teeth, chasing the dog, tucking little ones into bed,
relaxing on the couch after a long day... Besides home life, other opportunities to show relationships between family members come from time spent away from the ordinary, on vacation or planning an outing together.
