the anderton family!

i take every chance i get to shoot the beautiful miss danielle anderton [winter or summer, take your pick]. so when she called me asking if i would take her family pictures i jumped at the opportunity. not only were they a breeze to shoot, they are possibly the sweetest people ever and a total blast to work with!

b&w christmas day

the black and white shooting continues! some people don't like it and tell me to switch my camera back to color; but they're just gonna have to wait a bit longer. christmas was a little different this year, with both my sisters being gone and married, so the rest of us hit the beach for a little stroll before the rain came back in and it was fantastic. merry christmas, dolls.

my black & white boat parade

i never really shoot in black and white. it's cute but i think it's slightly overdone and shortcut way to look artistic. that aside, i thought it would be fun to mix things up and shoot ONLY in black and white over the holidays. so far it's been fantastic.

** update!! this picture, the one right above this, is gonna be in gallery 303 march3-march14 **

just another afternoon

truth be told, i was trying to avoid doing homework. so i coerced my beautiful friends into doing a photo shoot. it was a little less photo shoot a little more walk through nature slash goof off. which i am totalllyyy fine with. also, its afternoons like this that make provo more bearable for me. pretty people, pretty nature, and photography.

summer cannot come fast enough

i may or may not have skipped out of church early today so that i could have enough time to enjoy this beautiful spring day. 50 degrees, partly cloudy. if only the beach was closer. utah lake will have to suffice i guess. it actually kinda reminds me of rancho lake with the big boulders and dirty water... you get my point. not that nice. but still i'm glad summer is so close.

the other side of the camera

so normally miss lexi is behind the camera but we thought it might be fun to get out this afternoon and try out a little bit of her modeling. FUN STUFF. it's definitely a different experience shooting another photographer as opposed to someone who has no idea about anything photographic. but really, really fun. it's always great tag-teaming with her when we shoot other people, but this new little thing worked out quite well too! also, BEAUTIFUL day in utahland.

fresh snow

11a: "hey there is still snow in the trees. wanna model for me?"

good thing danielle loves fresh snow as much as me. haha. but seriously, fresh snow and danielle anderton means perfect pictures. just let it be known that this is the first of many snow photo shoots with this sexy lady.

i'll be home for christmas

ahhh. i love being home for the holidays. there is absolutely nothing better than family and LOTS of food. obviously i took a bazillion pictures but i wasn't too focused on it so only came out with a few that i absolutely loved. we cooked a ton, snuggled plenty, and i was even able to play with my neighbors a little. love them. they're adorable and i'm dying to do a shoot with them one day!
