Meet Mindie...

... the soon to be newest member of our family! That's right, this is my brother Jesse with his fiancee. I had the pleasure of heading up to Utah to stay with Mindie and take some Bridal and engagement pictures. We had a great time together and I loved getting to know Mindie better. She is so fun and so good for Jesse. They are so cute together and I can't wait to shoot their wedding this August. I guess I will have to wait to post the bridals (which we shot at Temple Square and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building) after the wedding so Jesse doesn't see the dress. For the engagements we went down to Memory Grove, where I have so many fond memories of driving the horse-drawn carriages as a newlywed myself. Thanks again guys for a great weekend and a great time!

Farewell Shoot at "The Castle

Well, I couldn't have picked a more fun "taker" for my last shoot at "The Castle." It is always fun making portraits with other photographers, and my friend Jennifer and her husband Brian are fabulous photographers. You can check out their work at www.jennifergilmore.com. Besides being terribly photogenic themselves, they have some pretty adorable kids who obviously have lots of practice being in front of the camera. They put up with me taking about a trillion pictures of them. Thanks guys for indulging my trip down memory lane and trying out all my crazy ideas! I (obviously) had a hard time narrowing down pics for the blog - I have lots more I've already edited. And you'll have them all soon!
