This Sunday was a nice laid back kind of day. I shot a family of 9 in the afternoon and the weather held up nicely which allowed me to take an engagement shoot in the evening. Megan and Chris are getting married in October and I was lucky enough to get to be a part of the wedding. This couple is so sweet and fun! I enjoyed this shoot so much. We laughed and had a great time. Their amazing personalities and love for each other comes through wonderfully in their portraits. Here is one of my favorites. You can view a few of my other picks from their shoot in the engagement album in the gallery.

This is Jill's daughter. A very striking young lady wouldn't you say?

Here are two pictures that show how beautiful this wedding was.

This photo shows why it's easier to take breath taking portraits in Salt Lake! Mountains!!! This is Troy and Jill from Salt Lake City. I shot their wedding June 14, 2008...stay tuned for a lot of their pictures to be posted in the album gallery.

This next Saturday (Aug 9th) I don't have a wedding. My sweet, charming, handsome, loving, perfect hubby thought it would be a great opportunity for us to learn a little something new. He booked a special class for us on August 8th in Denver! We get to go take part in a class on the newest trends and timeless images. We'll learn how to edit in 3 different techniques and focus on bringing our photography up to a new level...beyond anything we've done before. No matter how good we are there's always a way to be better. I remember when I first started out and I was working at another studio, I felt like every shoot I was doing was the same ol' same ol' and I couldn't get (what I thought) was a good picture. The owners of the studio sat me down and told me that it was super important not to get discouraged. All of the pictures I was taking were great but in my head I didn't see it. They said that's what happens to artists when are about to break out into a new level. I think that's what happened this year. I was just reading a guest book entry from a wedding I shot a few weeks ago and I was so moved. She felt like I've done a good job keeping up with style changes. That makes me so happy and so very determined to keep on striving for greatness! Stay tuned because there are some really neat things to be offered and I totally plan on doing it!
