new friends | utah wedding photographer and portrait photographer

Last night I had the opportunity to hang out with some new photographer friends at my studio. I am so blessed to do what I love and have AWESOME friends!

One of the photographers there was Sheryll Lynne, she has been stalking me for a while (LOL). Not really stalking I guess but she asked me about 9 months ago to photograph her for her website and we still haven’t been able to align our schedules to make it happen. Sheryll Lynne is one of those people that everyone love to be around because she makes everyone laugh.

Sheryll Lynne you can count this one as a freebie but the next one will cost you… hahaha. She made me promise to post this image tonight.

portrait session with megan joy from american idol | utah wedding and portrait photographer

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!

fitness shoot in studio | utah fitness photographer

I had an awesome fitness shoot this past weekend with some… shall I say perfect specimen. Aubrie and Matt are scheduled to compete in the NGA fitness competition in a couple of weeks and judging by their looks, their competitors should be very nervous!

After working with these two, I feel like a fat old man!

Visit Aubrie’s facebook fan page and cheer her on!!

Here is a quick peak at some of the images from their shoot.


Oh yeah… and they happen to be dating!

Rockin session with Brooke Kinsey | utah fashion photographer

It’s always fun working with other photographers and last night I was fortunate enough to work with Brooke Kinsey from Blush Photography. She’s been bugging me (hahaha) for the past couple of months to get her in front of my camera and yesterday it finally happened. My good friend Rhett drove up from Spanish Fork to help me out with the shoot and we all had a blast!

Many of you may know B and you may even be one of the thousands of blog stalkers that visit her blog everyday. Well… Here is a peek at the images we captured during her shoot.

Let me know what you think! Make sure you visit her blog and leave a comment… and mention that you saw her images on my blog… it’ll make her smile.



Real lens flare baby!

Beautiful little 3yo | utah portrait photographer

You probably have been wondering where I’ve been and why I haven’t posted anything to my blog for the last little while… or not. Well, I have been really busy shooting and I haven’t been able to keep up with all that’s going on. This is a very busy time of year. OK… enough excuses.

Check out this adorable 3yo that I shot about 3 weeks ago. I couldn’t believe that she is only 3… she is about the height of a 5yo! If you are in the market for some cool beanie hats for the girls this winter send her mom Danielle and email and tell her that Ryan sent you.
