peeks of an engagement session from last week.
we climbed a mountain.

*I'm in the process of creating a website/blog exclusively for my photo work! It's been on my list of things to do for some time now, and this summer it's been bumped up to the very tip-top of the list. I can't wait to share more of my work, I'm behind by about a year....sorry for those of you who email me and I refer you to this silly blog here where you have to shuffle through my mantras and musings to find a single shoot. It'll be better in the future, I promise ;)

photo feature: Jacob & Rebekah {engaged}

warmth.

i'm really missing it these days.

{not just because I'm sick of scraping frost off my car window every morning....}

i miss warmth in my photography.

I can't wait for sunny, green days!

I can't wait to re-launch senior photo shoot specials!

I can't wait for my first ever

photo giveaway!

I have a lot of photo shoots that have yet to be featured on this blog. I was overwhelmed with them for a while, too many to post in a week. And since this blog isn't necessarily a photo-blog I felt it needed a break. But now i really miss the photos. Would it be weird to feature weddings from last summer? Would you get bored of more photo posts?

i hope not.

cause i'm gonna do it.

starting.

right.

now.

Jacob & Rebekah

{engaged}

actually they are happily married now :) this is the second shoot we did for their engagements. the first one can be viewed here. Rebekah was living in arizona then so we were pushed on time for the first shoot during a quick visit to provo. Luckily she came down another week and we were able to spend the time we wanted to. I was so happy to spend more time with these two. They are so sweet on each other. and I think it shows....

now lets pray for warmth so hank {my camera} YOU and I can plan a photo play date, yes?!

Rebekah & Jacob {engagements}

{next one is my favorite}

could this shoot have been any more romantic?

i think not.

The Best Thing

The best thing you can do in this life is find that person that

makes you better

makes you happy

gives you butterfly kisses

& rubs your feet.

then make that person yours.

(this part is key)

I found that person a year ago next week.

I made him mine June 25, 2010

My big brother found that person last summer as well, and this past saturday, he made her his.

Congrats Dane & Brittany! I couldn't be happier for you!

(and for us: more married friends!)

*photo of Dane & Brittany engagements by yours truly.

**to family and friends: no I didn't take my camera to the wedding (I wanted to be the guest, not the photographer). Naturally I semi regret this. We will all have to wait for the photos of that glorious day...
