some fun engagements lately that i am excited to share.
maybe i'll have my baby this week | utah photographer
now that the HEARTshop has come and gone, leaving us in a whirl of excitement and love (MUCH more on that later), i think the baby has a clear "move on ahead," signal.

whaddya think?
steph and kollin and an overload of sweetness | utah wedding photographer
i had a good feeling about this shoot. from the minute i talked to kollin and stephanie on the phone i could sense we were all on the same wavelength. especially when they said they had a secluded "wildlife," location tucked away in the middle of stephanie's neighborhood. double especially when they said they had a golf cart to take me there. good thing they saved the harmonica as a surprise, if they had told me about it before hand, i might have paid THEM to let me photograph their love. one other thing you should know - kollin MIGHT be the kind of guy that goes in monthly to get his haircut by a girl he has a crush on for an entire YEAR before they ever get together. and all that time steph thought he was just diligent about hair maintenance.
REMEMBER THESE LEGS? | Utah Love Photographer, Utah wedding photographer
what happened this morning exactly: myra: mommy, mommy WAKE UP!
me: (incoherent mumble/moan)
myra: daddy, if you don't wake up, i'm going to spank your face! (no, we don't spank our children, what would make you think we spank our children?)
marty: ahhhhhhh! no, don't spank my face!
me: (huddled in corner, pretending to be oblivious, trying to catch extra moments of precious sleep)
myra: giggling....alright daddy, (SMACK!!!!)
marty leaps, i swear completely vertically into the air from a laying position, pillow poised in hand (totally kung fu style), and hurls it as hard as he can at 4 year old myra's face.
i hold my breath.
myra doesn't cry.
we all laugh and get up to eat breakfast. a sleepy wrennie is scooped up from her crib along the way.
************
that was a nice morning. the morning i spent with these two was pretty nice as well. in both scenarios, warm feelings and laughing were key components.
featured! | utah wedding photographer, utah engagement photographer
hey y'all, hopefully you have something exciting and fresh in the works for your weekend. i have a sinus infection. wah. BUT
i also have exciting news about a couple of really cool features for yan photography that happened lately.
first up, alison and eric's love shoot was featured over at one of the best wedding resources in all of utah! the utah bride and groom magazine's blog! if you are a utah bride i definitely encourage you to not only pick up their magazine but click around their website for the best in utah weddings.
second, i was absolutely floored and honored when i opened up my email inbox and found an email from the lovely Janie Medley, editor of one of THE most popular weddding blogs, The Brides Cafe.
Janie is so kind, and said, "what do you think about sending over a little something to feature," and i was like, "are you kidding me, i'll send you something every day!" But you'll just have to click on her link to find out what actually got sent.
in the wide world of wedding photography, and to a little yan like myself, getting featured is kind of a major honor. so i have to kind of say a major thanks. =)
