Miki & Brian Engaged – Bonneville Salt Flats

July 5th, 2010

Brian, Miki and I headed out to the Bonneville Salt Flats in western Utah for their engagement photos.  This is definitely one of the most surreal landscapes I have ever seen!  It seems like you can see the curvature of the earth here.

After the sun set, we got into our time machine (not pictured) and went vintage.  The idea for these photos was inspired by Miki and Brian’s love of adventure travel.  They have been all over the world together, including Peru, China, Australia, Nepal, India, and Malaysia to name a few stamps in their passports.

The camera that Brian is using is a working Zeiss Ikon 5″x7″ field camera, which belonged to my great, great uncle and was given to me by my grandparents.  It is about eighty years old and in fantastic shape.

Miki and Brian would be able to find their way around a strange place in any century.  They are planning a honeymoon in Turkey – just because it is at the top of the list!  Instead of registering for salad tongs and avocado slicers, these explorers are asking their guests to pitch in for Kebabs in Istanbul and a Hot Air Balloon Ride over Cappadocia.  (check out travelersjoy.com if you like this idea)  I have a feeling that should the balloon stray off course and carry them thousands of miles off course they would take it in stride.

We ended the shoot with a lovely picnic in the fading light.

The pink blanket is a 2010 vintage, but I liked the color.  Miki and Brian will be married at Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City, Utah this August.

Mark & Jodi Engaged – Salt Lake City, Utah

June 24th, 2010

I met up with Mark and Jodi for their engagement session on the grounds of the Utah state capitol.  Mark lives a couple blocks away so it was an easy walk after we shared some wine at Mark’s place.

Tala and Ellie, Jodi and Mark’s dogs, joined us for the shoot – they were good sports for the most part but they did demand some of their own time in the spotlight!  Jodi and Mark met here in Utah, but Jodi is from the Calgary, Alberta area and I will be traveling there to photograph the wedding at the end of July.

My Niece Rylee – Lafayette, Colorado

May 14th, 2010

I became an uncle this past St. Patrick’s day when my sister Kate and brother in law Jake welcomed Rylee to the family!  Here are a few pictures from the trips I have taken in the past few weeks to see Rylee.  She is very cute!  I can’t wait to get back there to see her again.

Max’s Baby Portraits

April 20th, 2010

Two summers ago I photographed Galina and Jack’s wedding in Park City, Utah…….

….so I was excited to hear from them again when they asked me to come to their home to photograph their first baby, Max!

Angela and JP are proud parents of a really cute baby.  Henry was born at the beginning of July, just a day after Angela finished her residency in pediatrics.  Henry came almost a month early, and these photos were taken when he was four weeks old.
