nellie & kent's engagements

this last weekend we took san juan capistrano by storm! I loved searching out a new location to shoot at and I think we found the perfect spot to give this couple the different feel/look they were going for. the train station downtown, by the mission had what I thought was a perfect mix of classy and causal.

engagements are a great way for the couple to become familiar with the photographer before the wedding day and likewise its nice to get a feel for the personality's of the couple before shooting the wedding. I'm being honest when I say, I feel like I was kicking with friends at this shoot. laid back, open to ideas and we all sweated out the 90degree plus weather together. nothing like sweating together, to bond together.

so fun! can't wait to turn nellie into the diva she is for the bridal shoot.

terrible two's

happy late birthday to my favorite 1st nephew!! I love you!

dessert time

photo shoot of my nieces and nephews during my last trip to utah. for some reason when I look at these images as a whole I feel like crying....and not in a "these are so hideous I can't stand looking at them" sort of way, but in a, "really? you're that big...that old..that smart?". It's almost more than I can stand. these kids are just so delicious, they give me a permanent stomach ache.

nellie & kent

since I choose one of their images for my "image of the week" I decided I better give you a closer view.

here a just a couple of colorful shots to look at while I work through editing the rest...

the mailman

I revisited these images this week for a past client. He was commissioned to sculpt both the statues of Karl Malone and John Stockton that live outside the Delta Center in SLC. I took some photos of him working in the final stages of the Malone statue. seriously amazing. it took up his entire front room...and then some. How do you keep your perspective working on something that large? How do you create a head 10 times the size of yours?

children kids

some of my friends are part of this new childrens cartoon. the artwork is fantastic and the little voice they use for the main character is perfect.
