Big Little Helper

Mirabel is a big but little helper. We have invested in her own Disney (fake) camera so she can take pictures like Daddy. She will walk around with it and say 'Cheese'. Once she even helped in the studio and climbed up on a stool behind Nic who was taking pictures and started to take her own and told Julie and Andy to say cheese.

She was even invited to a wedding luncheon. That is where this picture comes from. She has big shoes to fill but she definitely is following in Nic's foot steps.

Carousel

With a carnival themed wedding, how appropriate that their engagement session was done at a carousel in Salt Lake.




For their invitations Nic designed them to look like canival tickets. They turned out really cute.

Bryan and Hollee

There is something about a bride getting ready, making that transformation, that appeals to
Nic. He usually gets some of his favortie pictures that way. (Just a side note: I am pretty sure the photographer at my wedding would never have thought of that let alone come early to document it)

If you remember Hollee and Bryan are our junk yard Bride and Groom. Nothing about their wedding was normal. While waiting for them to come out of the temple Nic called and said it was raining and was worried about the weather. (Not that it can be controled but still) Later he said it stopped right before she came out and if anyone could pull that off it would be Hollee.

Her younger brother and sister hanging out waiting for the happy couple.

I love this shot. After it stopped raining the sky was perfect, all but fake looking.

Hollee and Bryan

Just one more amazing shot of Hollee and Bryan. I love the lighting.

Sneak peek for what's to come

As a general rule of thumb Nic doesn't like to post bridals in case a groom comes across them before the big day. When he came back from his shoot with Tracy he just kept saying that it was so awesome and he got a lot of shots that he was really excited about. So now that the wedding is over I can post one from your Bridal session.

Watch for more

Under New Management!

I have officially taken over Nic's blog for the summer. He has been crazy busy with weddings, bridals, engagements, seniors, going to dinners, and family shoots. Not to mention finishing two bedrooms, getting our house ready to sell, building a new one, and watching our lovely all-but-two year old daughter. It might not be the same high quality blog that Nic delivers but I will try my best to keep up on his fabulous pictures that he is taking. Plus it will give me the opportunity to brag about Nic's skills. Keep checking back because the this is just the beginning.

Hillary and Brian: Love in Black and White

The Salt Lake City Temple is crazy on Saturdays in June. I think that they said there was something like 65 weddings there last Saturday. It's easy to get lost in all of the hoopla there, so I thought I'd keep things simple here and post only some of my black and whites from the day. I love black and whites!!! Hillary and Brian, you colorful people rock! Even in black and white!


All sorts of "Next Top Model" attitude here:





Fierce Baby, Fierce!






I just had to post this shot of Brian's grandpa. Something about this guy was catching my attention all night long. Some serious wisdom hiding behind those piercing eyes.

Happy Birthday to Me!

It's official. I'm now in my late 20's :(
I'd like to take a minute to thank all the people who helped me to get here (well, I guess that's just Mom and Dad, but also thanks to everyone else for not killing me). And, of course, I'd like to give my thanks to the academy. Peace out.

And for my birthday, one of my favorite shots of all time:
