    Zion Overlook Engagement {Cassidy + Aaron}

    February 24, 2015

    I have so enjoyed photographing this lovely couple. I have had the opportunity to work with Cassidy and her family many times over the years starting with her sisters wedding, and then her Senior Pictures near Zion. Todays post is a bit different. Cassidy wrote down her loves story with Aaron and is sharing it with all of you. Enjoy! Aaron and I had our first date at the end of April 2014. We were both kind of seeing someone else, and I lived in St. George at the time (he was in Provo) so we weren’t really expecting much…

    Utah Red Rock Engagement {Morgan+Marcello}

    February 19, 2015

    Photographing weddings and engagements in the red rocks of Southern Utah is always so awe inspiring. Morgan and Marcello came in from out of town to be photographed in the slender of Snow Canyon State Park. The amazing red rock formations of petrified sand dunes mixed with the giant sand dune cliffs and green trees and foliage make for such a unique place for photos. As a destination wedding photographer I travel all over the world photographing couples and am still always so inspired by what I have right here in my own back yard. Still I’m looking forward to…

    Sand Dunes Engagement Session {Sarah + Dustin}

    September 13, 2014

    I had the opportunity recently to photograph this lovely couple for their engagement session. A couple years ago I photographed Sarah’s brothers engagement photo session in Snow Canyon. She loved that session so much that she wanted to do her engagement photos in Southern Utah as well. There are so many different spots in the area and I love that we shot in a similar location but with a very different overall feel to the backdrop. Sarah and Dustin are such a beautiful could and I had so much fun laughing and joking around with these two. I loved their…

    Snow Canyon Red Rock {Jessica + Matt}

    January 10, 2014

    When couples from out of town tell me they want photos somewhere with red rocks, somewhere that really says Southern Utah, Snow Canyon automatically comes to mind. The sand dunes, the black lava rock, the sage brush and red sand stone cliffs really are an amazing specimen of Southern Utah. Jessica and Matt have been married for several years and recently moved to the area. They were a great couple to work with and I loved seeing them still so in love!

    Snow Canyon Family Photos

    November 27, 2013

    Year round Snow Canyon is a perfect place for family photos. It is always beautiful. The red rock cliffs and amazing views make for the perfect location for any kind of pictures. This session happened to get Snow Canyon when it actually had snow. This is pretty unique. We had an unusual amount of snow this year in St George and as far as photos are concerned I’m glad! I had a great time with this amazing little family and was so glad to have been able to work with them. The day was beautiful though cold and they were…

    Southern Utah Family Photos {Moore Family}

    September 24, 2013

    One of my favorite sessions of each year is photographing the Moore Family. This year we photographed their family at the Kayenta Reservoir. It is a beautiful spot and is a great contrast to some of their previous sessions. I have been working with the Moores for about five years now. We first photographed their family not far from where this session took place. Our next session was quite a bit farther away, but like the beautiful lake in this session water was our inspiration shooting at the beach in San Diego. The Desert of Red Rock in Las Vegas…

    August 20, 2013

    I recently photographed this wonderful family in Santa Clara Utah. Last year I had the opportunity to shoot their wedding photos and was so glad for the opportunity to work with them again. It was so wonderful seeing these two families come together and to further unite them is the new baby girl. I always have a great time with family photos.

    St George Family Photo {Ellis Family}

    April 6, 2013

    I photographed Katie and Scott Ellis’ Wedding photos a few years ago and then their family photos in San Diego and have become good friends with them over the years. I love their little family! Scott is a super talented Dentist in Southern Utah and Katie is very talented with everything she does. She used to work for the news up north but after having two little ones has taken the role of awesome Mom! This photo session was a bit out of the blue to get photos of their little guy turning two and some quick photos for a…

    Utah Canyon Engagement {Theresa + Scott}

    October 12, 2012

    I loved photographing Theresa and Scotts engagement session in Snow Canyon recently. They are such a beautiful couple. The location was perfect for these to doing their engagements photos as a destination event. They both live in New York where they will be married soon. I loved their fashion sense and style not to mention their obvious love for one another!

    November 6, 2009

    Senior sessions are so fun, and Tess was no exception. Most models I have photographed are not as comfortable in front of the camera as she is. We had a great time, and got a ton of really great images. For all you seniors out there, it’s not too late to get yours done.
