Wayman Session

My friend Lewis has been helping me with some of my framing and we started talking about portraits. He wanted some shots of him with his nephew and sister so instead of regular boring headshots I decided to do a full production session. It was a lot of fun, I think we were laughing half [...]

Alexander Headshots

Alexander was in a business class I was taking and came in for some headshots for his web site. He and his sister run a charity organization for the children of Peru. See nativeofperu.org to see what he does. I visited Peru a few years ago to teach a class and saw firsthand some of [...]

Professional Photographers of Idaho

We had the opportunity last week to speak at the summer quarterly for Professional Photographers of Idaho and we really had a lot of fun.  It was a little bit scary since I have known so many of the photographers there for a long time and some of them I think were professional photographers even [...]

Millennial Falls Open House

I was at the Millennial Falls open house a couple of days ago and thought I would put some images here for those who have never been and are curious about Millennial Falls.  The reception center is in Draper, Utah and features a beautiful waterfall in the back up against the mountain.  The scenery here is [...]

Cottonwood Prom

My 15 year old son Brian went to his first prom the other night and of course I had to torture his group for a while in the camera room before I would let them leave.  I think they all had fun even though they had to change their dinner reservations 3 times.

I knew this would be hard

I knew this blogging thing would be hard but didn’t realize how hard it would be to keep everything updated.  I signed up for facebook at the same time and I have been really good at keeping that updated but have sadly neglected the blog.  I am really excited though that I finally figured out [...]

Milestones

I love to photograph the milestones in people’s lives.  Weddings, graduations, new babies, etc. and the other day I got a 2 for 1.  In my last post I talked about my neighbor Al Christofferson.  Well I guess Al had this wish to see a photo of his son Bart in his graduation attire with [...]

Passing of a friend

As they say in the movies, with great power comes great responsability.  As photographers we have the power to create art through memories.  We help people to remember both the events and emotions of the day.  Most of the time those events are happy, joyful events like weddings, family reunions, anniversay’s, or birthdays.  Sometimes however [...]

Family Portrait Fundraisers

The past couple of weeks I have been retouching and printing and editing and working very hard on the photos for the Jet Blue Fundraiser.  I have a couple of companies that I work with in a fundraising capacity.  I set aside several days throughout the spring and summer and then again a few days [...]
