I finished Trish’s wedding album the other night, and am really excited for her to come see the design work.  The wedding was held in the White Chapel, across the street from the State Capitol building in Salt Lake City.  All week leading up to the wedding, the weather was crazy and it looked like it was going to rain on the wedding day too.  And there was a little rain in the morning, but the weather couldn’t have turned out better!  I love using weather to create mood in an image and this was a great day for that!

The reception was then held just down the street at the historic McCune Mansion.  That is such a great location and made for great architecture inside and out to accent the photographs as well as the events of the day.

Below is an album page layout showing two pages up (as if the book was opened to this spread).  This segment shows us out in front of the chapel and then segues to the McCune Mansion with the couple walking down the street.  I have the entire album uploaded as a slideshow for you to see here.

This next design spread shows the reception near the end, cutting the cake and dancing.  I loved the color and design of the cake and used it as a background behind the other photographs.  It gave this spread just the right accent.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!  And until next time, America!

I don’t photograph kids with cheesy props, but rather focus on their personality, letting them tell me who they are and what expressions they want to give me.

I love being able see kids grow and change over the years.  The order I’m working on right now is of little Addison.  I first photographed her when she was first born.  Here she is one week old (on the left) and then later at six months old (on the right).  I have a continuous album just for these types of sessions that show your baby growing up over time.

Addison 1

So now for Christmas I created some more images of her at her home.  This one is of her in her backyard.  I love the expression on her face, not to mention the cute little red coat, hat and purse.  Hopefully you notice how well the images are lit and composed, which is not only difficult for adults, but especially for children who are constantly on the move!

Addison 2

Later, she changed outfits and I created the next two images of her in her bedroom.

Addison 3

She is such a cute and beautiful little girl, and so expressive!  I love this one below too, with her hiding behind her crib.  This image is also toned with a little selective color.

Addison 4

Well, that is it for now.  I need to get back to more Christmas orders.  If you need anything for Christmas, now is the time to call!

Until next time, America!

I have another wedding album up online, and it is magical!  Courtney came in today to see her final wedding album design.  I love absolutely this!  The wedding was held at the Salt Lake Temple in Utah with the reception at the Bungalow in American Fork.

I uploaded the design as a slideshow today so you can check it out!

Courtney Album Design

By the way, the slideshow shows the album as an open book, with two pages showing at a time, like the image above which came from her design.

I absolutely love this album.  The couple is so happy and their love really shows.  I’m very proud of my work here; the images are fantastic.  I love the colors, the soft lighting, the ambiance, and the entire feeling of the day and album….not to mention that Courtney looks fantastic.  To see some of her bridals, refer back to this blog entry.

Come in to the studio to see this design close-up, or if you’d like me to do a wedding for you, or even just some bridal portraits, then give me a call.

Until next time, America!

Today Erica came in to preview her Engagement portraits.  We did the photo session last week during the big rain storm.  Though I had to reschedule some family portraits because of the rain, I LOVE using the rain and weather to add mood to engagement portraits.

We got soaked, but the images look great.  You can see the rain falling in the air in some of them, and I love the look and feel of the air, sky, and the wet ground too.  Here’s a square wall composite from the session — such a beautiful grouping!

I also created a painted canvas portrait for the client using one of the photographs as a reference.  I chose this particular image for this because I love the story-telling in just their legs.  Here is a preview of how it will look when it is finished.

Her bridals are coming up soon, and I am very excited now for that session.  She is very photogenic and we will create some amazing images, I know.

So, until next time, America!

I just finished and a new wedding album design for Ashley & Brett.  Here are some of the images from the album.  

It was an incredible wedding and I really love the album design.  The bride came in today to see the finished design with her family, and absolutely loved it!

The wedding was held at the Logan, Utah temple and the reception was in the bride’s yard.

I love this image below.  I used one of my special techniques to create this black & white which is toned warm and cool — warm in the highlights and cool in the shadows.

To see the entire album, check out the wedding album design as a slideshow.  Remember that the design shows two pages up at a time, as if the book were open.  Check it out and enjoy!

Until next time, America!
