zach + jen {family}

I was so excited for this family session at Bear Lake.  Even though I didn't know beforehand where we'd be shooting, I knew I couldn't go wrong with such a beautiful place.  Jen took us to some great spots, and didn't she do a fabulous job with the outfits (I always have to comment on my clients' fab fashion sense because I'm somewhat lacking in that department).  Jen made little Abbey's cute dress and their hair clips.  Darling.  Oh, and she's also a great photographer.  There is no end to her talent. Check her out here.

We got some great family shots, but the ones I love the most are the ones that capture the interactions between them.  And that one of Abbey kissing her mama?  Love.

location: bear lake

Working through the edits from this session, but thought I'd post a quick preview. I'm loving these images! [For fellow photogs: I'm using the Nostalgia Actions from The Shoppe Designs on these and really diggin' them!]

It's been a busy month, and will continue to be until I get get my littles into school.  Hopefully I can get these finished and post some more this weekend!

danny + mel {engaged}

I think this was my favorite shoot to date.  Great locations, great lighting (right before sunset one day and then early, early morning the next), great outfits (nice job, Melanie!), and beautiful faces.  We did these mostly on Sunday evening and I couldn't believe how empty the streets were!  It felt like we had the whole downtown to ourselves, which meant I wasn't afraid of getting run over while I stood in the middle of the road.

Did I mention that this is my brother?  I'm so excited to have a new sister in the family!  Congratulations you two (oh, and it's about TIME!....did I just write that out loud?).  Love you guys!

in love

How much do you love this?  {we passed this wall and couldn't resist the cheese} I'm not even kidding when I say that I love EVERY SINGLE ONE of the shots from this engagement session.  Mel has been waiting so patiently; they're coming soon, I promise!
