ashley’s bridal portraits | utah wedding photography

A few weeks ago I met my awesome client Ashley at the salt flats for her bridal session. Even in the middle of a nasty wind storm she still looked amazing! You can see from the images below how much salt was in the air. When I got home, my gear and I were covered in salt.

Here are just a few of the images from Ashley’s session.

Sydney’s Dance Portraits | utah photographer

I met up with Sydney at the Salt Flats this past Saturday to capture some images for her portfolio. I have had the privilege of photographing Sydney before and I can honestly say that she is one of the kindest people I have ever met. I look forward to many more shoots with her. Utah Jazz fans may recognize Sydney for being one on the Utah Jazz Dance team.

When I was editing the images from Sydney’s shoot I showed them to my daughter Bentley who is also a dancer and she told me that she wanted to be a Jazz Dancer when she grows up. “I’m going to practice every day” she told me. She has more determination than any kid I have ever met so I’m sure if she really wants to, she’ll be able to do it.

happy independence day – free sessions

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!
