Preview of Cari and Sean! (more to come)

Cari and Sean! You two totally rocked the house--not only were you guys absolutely brilliant in front of the camera when we were shooting at the temple, but your reception was off the hook! Everybody was dancing like crazy and having a good time--you guys really know how to throw a party! Anyways, I've been really enjoying editing your photos; here is a little preview of what I've got finished so far...Enjoy!

Here is the newest photo. Please leave your comments and tell me what you think!


























This photo reminds me of a certain scene from It's a Wonderful Life. "What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down..."

All Grown Up!

There are times I don't even realize how grown up my five year-old sister Makela has gotten until I whip out the ole' Nikon and take her picture. She just looks so old to me--like I could blink and she'll be 15! ...Lets hope it takes longer than that--I'm still so enjoying the hugs and kisses hello and goodbye, the sweet things she says and does, and the innocent way she always makes us laugh without even intending to.

So this was a bit of an impromptu photoshoot, and although her hair wasn't combed and there was chocolate on her face, if I had asked her to comb her hair or wash her face, I could have kissed my opportunity at a photoshoot goodbye (she can be a little moody). But I feel that I have captured the essence of her--she isn't the cleanest child in the world, and her hair certainly isn't perfectly brushed and styled every day--but that is what makes her our little Makela. She's more of a hippie than anything else. Enjoy.













PS - this face is a total "me" face! She gets this one from me! I'm so proud! (lol)










With this one, don't ask. I think she runs out of ideas for poses, and this is all she comes up with. Its adorable.

Tanner Christenson's Senior Portraits

Tanner has been one of the most fun and easy-to-work-with subjects I've ever shot--he is so natural in front of the camera, and willing to try really any and all of my suggestions! We got some great shots of this handsome guy. Here are a few of his and my fav's:
