Thanks!

Oldham Family

I had such a great time on this session. My cousin Dan and his wife Saedi have such cute boys and it was such fun playing with them all!

We started the session in their home. I love doing this because what better place to capture a family than in the location they spend most of their time?


I absolutely love this shot

After their home, we headed to their grandma and grandpa's house for some outdoor shots.
The boys expressions in the background crack me up


Dunn Family

Here's a few favorites from this recent family session. The Dunn family is so much fun and reminds me so much of mine in terms of size! We're a huge family too! I was glad we were able to get some pictures of the whole family together. It's been years since I've been able to accomplish that with my own family!

Along with the big groupshot, we did each individual family. Aren't they all such cute families?




All the girls....

And the guysAnd all the grandkids!

OshKosh

It's that time of year again when Jake packs up and leaves me for three weeks. :( Why would he do such a thing, you ask? Well, it's the annual AirVenture Airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and AirGyro Aviation is once again part of the tradeshow. I've missed him so much while he's been away! Last year I went out for one of the weeks to visit him, but I didn't think I'd get a chance to do so this year. Luckily, my good 'ol daddy-o decided to fly out for a quick trip to check on things, and invited me along! It was so good to see my hubby again. Can't wait until he returns home in a few days! Three weeks is much too long.

If you haven't been to the Oshkosh airshow, and your even the least bit interested in airplanes and aviation, you're missing out! It's the mecca land for aviation enthusiasts, and boasts to be the biggest airshow in the world. It really is impressive.


Awwww, here's my man!
Here's some shots of the two new planes that AirGyro is selling: the SportHornet and the Outback. Need a plane? Buy one of these! Both great models.



Couldn't resist this shot. My dearly beloved Canon is a sponsor of the airshow, and man are they represented there! You seriously can't turn around without seeing a canon camera strap around almost EVERYONE'S neck. I almost felt like I was at a photographer's convention!

Ashley + Luke 6.28.08

Long before I was married or even had an inkling of an idea that I would really turn out to be a professional photographer, I studied abroad in London. My time there had a huge impact on my life. I came away with priceless experiences and amazing new friends. Ashley was one of those friends. Now, years later, I was so honored to be the photographer for her wedding!

Jake and I hit the road and traveled up to Idaho for Ashley & Luke's big day. They were married in the new LDS Rexburg Temple.


Check out this awesome ring shot by Jake:




After some shots around the temple, we drove up to the Grand Teton Mountains. It was absolutely gorgeous and amazing. I could have shot there all day.

Ashley and Luke were so awesome! They were seriously up for anything--including crossing a freezing stream in dress and tux!






A few little details...

Ashley's grandfather is a cowboy poet and he wrote the sweetest poem for her.



Congrats you two!! Thanks for letting us take part.

Rachel + Sean 6.24.08

Rachel and Sean began their wedding celebration with a reception the night before their wedding. It was held in the beautiful front yard of Rachel's grandparents home that made for a relaxing and quaint atmosphere.

Rachel and Sean's first look at one another.
The exchange of rings. Check out the rings a few shots below. They had them custom made to match eachother and what the photo doesn't show you, is that Rachel's ring fits perfectly inside Sean's. A perfect match.

These two are a couple after my own heart. Their wedding cake was made entirely of different kinds of cheese! Sean is a bit of a cheese conoissoir. I absolutely loved it and it was a hit with the guests.
They also served a few other cheeses along with the "cake".



Sean and his two favorite ladies! (His daughter and new bride)







Rachel and Sean, I had a great time with you both. Congratulations and thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding.
