Utah Wedding Photographers and Senior Photographers

I am so grateful for all the men and women serving in our armed forces who risk their lives to protect the many freedoms that my family and I enjoy every day! We are truly blessed to live in such a wonderful country where we can worship as we wish, express ourselves as we like and travel freely across this beautiful nation. If you or someone you love is serving in the armed forces I want to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! My family and I greatly appreciate your sacrifice!

In celebration and gratitude of Independence Day and all that it means to me I am offering a special promotion through the month of July. I am offering FREE sessions for anyone who has served or is serving in any branch of the armed forces. If your spouse is currently deployed you can still take advantage of this special offer, email me for more details.

God bless America!

UPDATE: I’ve added a second workshop date. Take a look here to find out more info.

I hope you had a happy Easter! I love this time of year… as everything around starts to come back to life. Summer is just around the corner!!!!

I wanted to let all of my photographer friends know that the deadline to receive the early bird pricing for the lighting workshop is two weeks from today, Monday April 19th so if you are interested in signing up please do so soon. You will still be able to register after the 19th if there are any spots left but the price will increase to $500.

You won’t want to miss this workshop; it is going to be jam packed with great information on lighting tips and techniques. I strongly believe that the best way to learn something is by doing it so as you learn these techniques you will have the opportunity to put them to use during the workshop. You will be doing everything you learn in hopes that it will sink in before you leave.

Here are some images from our Easter. Have a Happy Monday!!!

One year ago Becca and I sat in the delivery room at the hospital waiting to find out if our new baby was a boy or a girl. With our first two children we decided to find out their gender at their ultrasounds. With Ireland we decided that since we had one boy and one girl we figured we would wait for the 9 months and be surprised. It drove Becca crazy to wait because she wanted to know so bad. Up until she was delivered I thought for sure she was a boy… we had a boy name already picked out. When she was delivered and the doctor asked me to announce her as a girl I couldn’t speak. I kept looking for the boy part but I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t that I was disappointed… it’s just that I was so convinced that she was going to be a boy. Once I finally got the words out of my mouth… “It’s a girl”… we could hear the cheers from our family. It took us four days to pick out a name for her but we finally did. I am so thankful that I was wrong… and I am eternally grateful for this little bundle of joy and the blessing that she is in my life.

I love you so much princess!

All you American Idol fans out there will want to check out this post. Earlier this month I had the privilege of photographing Megan Joy from season 8 of American Idol. If you watched the show at all, you know that Megan has an amazing voice… I didn’t ask her to sing during her session but maybe I will next time!

Since it was cold outside Megan and her son met me at my studio in Salt Lake for a quick photo shoot. Here are some images from their session… leave some comment love and let me know what you think.

Megan, thanks for giving me the opportunity to capture these moments of you and your AWESOME son!

Ayden decided he wanted his hair cut like his dads. I tried to talk him out of it but he had already made up his mind. We had a lot of fun with it as you’ll see in the second to last image.

I tried to talk him into keeping his hair like this.

What else are you going to do with 6 inches of hair? This one was Becca’s idea and we were cracking ourselves up! I like Ayden’s the most.

Taking it down a little more.
