elise + mike {photo shoot}

i had the such a wonderful time shooting this couple on tuesday evening. i actually went to high school with elise & when she got engaged to mike i asked her if she would want to take some more "engagements" pictures...& she happily said yes. you can never get too many pictures of you & the boy you love, right??

we decided to head up provo canyon to a little hidden park where there were tons of beautiful trees. this really is the best time of year in utah, in my opinion, because you get amazing, beautiful trees. all of the leaves are changing, so you get a variety of colors ranging from greens & yellows to oranges & reds {my favorite}! i was a little bummed that we didn't have any direct sun light coming into the little canyon we were in, but as we began shooting i realized that we were still getting amazing pictures!

i am very happy with how these came out & elise + mike were just awesome to shoot. there were so many great pictures to choose from & so i just posted a bunch of my favorites.

there is nothing better than photographing a happy couple. congrats you two!

short M&J update + preview {family shoot in daybreak}

ok, i know that really all i've been posting lately are pictures from photo shoots, but really that's all i've been up to lately. i research photography topics, ways to improve my work, practice editing, look at other photographer's work & that sort of thing during the day & then i shadow local photographers in the evenings. mark is busy with work & intramural sports at night. he is on 3 soccer teams and 1 football team. it has been a great opportunity for him to get out & run around for a few hours during the week...it seems pretty difficult to feel motivated to exercise after a long day of work, but when it's sports with friends it is simply fun!

one piece of good news for me is i will be taking "fake" engagements photos for a friend of mine next week! {she already had her real engagements taken but she is allowing me to take some more just for the practice...thank you elise!} i won't be shadowing anyone, it will be MY shoot. i am beyond excited, & frankly a little nervous, for this opportunity.


here is a little sneak peak of a shoot i went to a few days ago. for this shoot we were in the city of daybreak, utah & i just fell in love with this city. it is so different than any other place in utah that i have been & the houses were adorable. i so badly just wanted to go off and explore the neighborhoods but i had to focus & remember to take pictures! if i had to live in utah long term, i would probably choose to live in daybreak.

anywhooo, this family was full of energy & so easy to shoot. the little boys were awesome & jackson {the oldest} was ready with his perfected camera-smile at every moment! these were some of the last pictures of the night just as the sun was going down on a little lake in the middle of the city.

oh, & did i mention the parents are high school sweethearts?? so cute! & he played in the NFL...

first birthday {photo shoot}

earlier this week i shadowed another photo shoot for a sweet little girl, gracie, in honor of her upcoming first birthday. she was such a cute & playful baby. you'll notice gracie is wearing a little headband or some sort of clip in her hair in most shots. they looked darling on but she just loved to grab them off of her head...so her mom kept singing "call me maybe" so gracie would forget about the headband & start giggling. & those giggles produced the best smiles that we got all evening!


i am hoping to get a new website just for my photography up soon. i don't think my pictures look as crisp & clear as they usually do when i post them on this blog. boo. so when i get my new website i can post even larger pictures that look crystal clear! yay. i will keep you updated with all of that...
