Portraits | Wilcox Family & Newborn

My oldest sister now has 2 beautiful little girls! Back when my first niece, Karys, was born, I didn't know much about photography and hadn't gotten involved in it. Also, this was my first opportunity to take newborn  photos and it was an interesting and incredible experience. I got to take these photos less than a week after Raelynn was born. She was really awake, but not many smiles and no laughing yet. She was very cooperative, and the family was so much fun to take photos of. Hopefully I'll get to go home to take more family photos for them again soon.

Portraits | Missy

My wonderful husband (who was still my fiance during this shoot) and my beautiful friend Missy got together with me in Rexburg, Idaho when I went to visit for a couple of days and we did a fun model shoot. My husband chose the location and did her make up, and directed our lovely model to get the awesome photos we have.

Missy is such a spunky and fun-loving lady who follows her dreams and knows how to look good doing it! I love this girl and she definitely blew us away with her modeling ability.

Portraits | Becca

This lovely lady is one of my long-time best friends, and was one of my bridesmaids in my wedding this summer (which is the main reason I'm only JUST updating the blog). We went shopping that morning, then to a Summer Solstice Cosplay meet up where I dressed up as a Hogwarts student, and Becca was a very cute lolita girl. We all know what I do when I have friends who are willing to pose for me... take photos! Here's the result of that fun day.

Summer Teasers

Hello to a busy summer!

Yes, I've been ridiculously busy this summer between my regular job and planning my wedding (which is a week away!). But thankfully I have had some time to do photos this summer as well! Here's a peak of what we've been up to. More photos to come in a couple of weeks!

Portraits | Morgan

This post has been a long time coming...

I met Morgan at university through my fiance and we became great friends right away. She's such a wonderful lady, and very photogenic too. We've had many interesting and wonderful conversations about almost everything, and I know how talented, organized, determined, and spiritually motivated she is. And she was a great zumba companion, for the one day I went. She's been called to serve a mission in Dallas, Texas for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints so she's training and learning Spanish in Utah right now. I miss that wonderful girl so much, but I'm glad I get to hear from her frequently. I asked her if I could take portraits of her for her and her family before she left for her mission, so one fabulous sunny weekend in March we explored campus and the local town area taking photos along the way. I promised her I wouldn't post the photos until her mom got to see them, which was right before she left, but it's been almost a month since then. I've just been slacking.

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.
