I had a blast photographing Aubrey!  She has stunning eyes and a beautiful smile!  She needed some images for her business cards and website, so I started with some nice images that would work good for her, both close up and full-length.

I then wanted to create some really great images of her with a fashion flare, and started with my fun white chair and model-gray background.

Aubrey always has great shoes, and I wanted to show them off, as well as her legs.  Between lens choice and a low angle, this really works.  But the curve in her waist really makes this image come together.

Then a change of clothes and we get a completely different mood.  I thought this white outfit was dazzling and playful!

Because Aubrey has such great eyes, I wrapped her in a large piece of blue gauze and came in close for a few images.  This was one of my favorites!

We ended the shoot with a series of her sitting on one of my unique carpets.  The color accented her dress, and it also gave me a chance to really show off her pretty legs and shoes once again.

What a fun shoot!  If you need some new portraits for business or just want some fun fashion images, give me a call.  801-728-3317.  And in the meantime, check out my website for more great images.  BryCox.com.

Usually my trips are all business, as are my blog posts.  I usually like to talk about some my favorite images and jobs of the week here on my blog, but this week some of my favorite images come from a fun trip that I took to Lake Powell.

The trip was with my ward and friends, and we had a blast.  A side note, all of these images are with my professional point and shoot camera too — a small and completely manual camera that is great for travel.

I took this first image on my drive down, looking out my window while driving.

Our friend Benton, who is an expert fly fisherman, took my cousin Tony and I on a fishing expedition up the Colorado River.  We started here, just below the dam.  I call this image, “The best dam image of me.”

Here’s Benton showing off one of Tony’s catches.  With his help, we caught a ton of fish — all however were too big to keep.  It’s a funny rule on this part of the river.

Here was one of my catches, one of the biggest of the day.  If I could have kept it, it would have made a great dinner!

Here is a pano looking out from our boat.

Because of my recent knee dislocation, I wasn’t able to wakeboard with everyone else.  I’ve been working hard on rehabilitation, because I like being active and don’t want to miss out on summer fun.  My knee was feeling pretty good so I tried some light surfing behind our friend Mark’s boat.  It was great to get in the water.

If you haven’t seen or heard of this, you start behind the boat with a rope in order to get started, and then throw the rope back to the boat once you get your balance.   A pro can surf on that wake indefinitely.

It not only was a great trip, but a reminder for me to photograph my casual moments in life, as well as the professional.  Photographs are a great way to preserve memories not only for us, but for future generations.

This week I photographed Wilford and Elva Zaugg for their 70th Wedding Anniversary.  Their daughter called and set up the appointment, not knowing that the Zaugg’s were long-time friends of my parents since I was a child.

Wilford and Elva actually live around the corner from me and have since 1940 when they were first married.  They raised 11 children, and now have 58 grandchildren and 80 great-grandchildren!

It was very fun to see these guys again.  When I was young, Wilford owned a dairy and was the star in one of my mom’s church plays.  Later in life he donated much of his land for a school and church.

During the appointment, Wilford told me how he still works with his hands creating custom pens out of wood.  He even made many of the parts for his wood lathe that were needed for his fine custom work.  He even brought me a pen as a gift, so I took a portrait of him and his custom wood pens.

It was an honor to be apart of their anniversary portrait and reception, and I know that these images are much appreciated by his family.

If it’s time for a portrait in your family, give me a call.  And to see more of my work, check out my website at BryCox.com.

Here are the photographs I did of little baby Gavin, during his first week.  We started out the session with him crying and hollering.  I loved the tense look in the eyes and toes.

But we helped him settle down and got these great images of him.

Some perspective images showing how little his hand is.

A few close-ups of him sleeping.

And then I ended the session with a group portrait of baby Gavin with his older brother and sister.

What a fun shoot.  And I really  love photographing kids.  They are so cute and genuine.  And I know that when they are older, they will love looking back on their childhood with the help of these great portraits.
