Engagements | Rachel & Aaron continued...

Remember these two? Here are their snow photos, as promised! We came back to school from Christmas break to find the town covered in snow, and got to the orchard as quickly as possible. And just as I thought, these photos turned out so well!

This couple just make my day every time I get to see them. They are always so happy and fun, and the love and friendship between them radiates. Any man who can make his woman laugh like nothing else is funnier is deserving of her love.

Riddle for you: What do you get when you put two nerdy best friends together to take photos?



Answer:

Portraits | Sara

I can't believe I forgot about posting these photos of Sara! I took these back in October when the fall leaves were intense and beautiful. And I loved having Sara be my model that day. Here's a little adventure story for you. We had hoped to go out to the Crack, some rock formations just a little ways out of Rexburg, but we couldn't find the turn-off, and then when we thought we had found it, the road was too bumpy and dangerous from people driving in the mud and leaving it to dry. So we gave up on that idea and decided Beaver Dick Park seemed like a good idea, and it definitely was! It's such a quaint little campground with some great areas to take photos, and the autumn trees looked so impressive. What started as disappointing turned into a fabulous photo project.

Portraits | my adopted roommates

Finally, an internet connection! Hello again online world. :)

These girls were my adopted roommates during my most recent semester at BYU Idaho, and what wonderful people they are! Each have such different personalities, which makes them all the more interesting to be around. I enjoyed every minute I spent around them, and I'll miss it all, but of course there's always a new adventure in store for us. This is my Christmas gift to these beautiful ladies. Have a very merry Christmas you guys!

Portraits | Sara & Nick

My first autumn shoot! Thank you to my best friend and her husband for allowing me to share a few laughs and an afternoon with them. The weather was nice, although cold, the leaves were perfect, and these two are still as wonderful as ever. What another great opportunity to come my way. Life is so full of opportunities, and I keep seeing more and more every day; more opportunities that I've already experienced, more that I've worked hard to make happen, and some that I'm so lucky to just be blessed with.

Look for the opportunities, not the road blocks.

Portraits | It starts with a C and ends with the sea

That's what Chelsea says when people ask what her name is. "It starts with a C, and ends with the sea." And it's true! This is my bestest friend ever. And to my other best friends who read this, you're still my best friends; Chelsea just has a one up for being my best friend from the very beginning of university.

Her boyfriend and my friend, on a mission in El Salvador, sent her this jersey for the soccer team Chelsea with his last name on the back. She has other photos of her wearing the same jersey, but I really wanted to take more of her, mostly because she's just so beautiful!
