kelsey and scott's utah wedding

i betcha remember kesey's bridal session here. she came with her parents to my studio and swept me up in her sweetness. i am happy to report the same exceptional sentiment washed over kelsey and scott's wedding day, and i am pretty sure most of these images were taken through a big smile on my face. kelsey and scott's family and friends were one of the most entertaining, and talented groups i have had the pleasure of spending a day with. thank you so much for having me. contax 645, canon eos 3 and a buncha film.

this is a story about two parents who love their daughter so so so so very much. the mama, lindsey is the  inspiring talent behind Green Apple Photography here in  utah and i would recommend her to anyone out there looking for a great family or wedding photographer ('specially since i'm skipping town here pretty quick). contax 645, fuji 400h, portra 800, ilford 3200

The Richardsons Simple Session

when these guys came to me, they made me feel like i was doing something right with my photography.  how did i know? because i never wanted our session to end. i wanted to invite ciara and brett over to my house and have dinner together while our kids went crazy in the back yard. i wanted to take them all home to uncle marty and say, "see honey, they're like us, we'll be able to have SO much FUN for the rest of our lives!!!!" sadly, we move to colorado in like, practically 5 minutes, and a family date night with the richardsons will have to wait for some other magical time. still,  i think, well, hope really, that when every client starts to feel like a long lost friend,  my photography voice is starting to speak the right language.

fields of gold

what you need to know about photographing this family is that it was an absolute privilege. there are some people who have a presence that leaves you feeling uplifted and inspired. kam taylor, one of the pillars in the boise photographic community  is one of those people. the love she shares with roger is palpable, and the connection with her two girls was a joy to capture. between the four of them there are a lot of laughs. i feel like i was able to capture them just as they are taking their life by the horns and running with it--living each day to the fullest. thanks so much kam for letting me peek into and document this time in your life.
