Mitch & Alicia - Salt Lake Temple Wedding

The best part about photographing weddings is spending time with couples who are completely and madly in love. These guys care for each other deeply and their story is especially touching to me because I have been able to witness their bond from the very beginning. Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day! Love you guys! Alicia and her mom put so[...]

Growing up

I know, I know. It's just another lamentation about the baby who's not a baby anymore. Wah wah, so sad. But it is. It's hard. And easy. And awesome and awful.

Rest Stop

On the way to the ocean last month we made a rest stop in a little town on the East side of California. We let the boys run crazy in this dumpy little field down the street from the gas station. They were SO happy to be out of the car. Their childhood is slipping away silently. And I don't always take the time to savor the little things I will one day miss a[...]
