We got to photograph Izzie in her first communion dress in St Francis of Assisi at Incline Village. I think this might be the prettiest light I’ve ever seen in a chapel. It makes sense-there are floor to ceiling windows along the south side of the entire chapel with an incredible view of

We are so lucky to be able to photograph these brothers each year! They are so funny with loads of personality and they just happen to be beautiful (it’s not hard to see why when you take a peek at mom and dad).

I couldn’t help it. I posted a stupid amount of photos here. We were hired to photograph a Levi Straus & Co. event in San Francisco and it did NOT disappoint! It was an event launching new ideas and celebrating the talent that encompasses the Levi brand. The installations were awesome, drinks brilliant, the entertainment totally fresh, and the creatives who run everything…

Rangefinder is one of THE most respected photography magazines. We got an email that we had been nominated by an industry professional (photo editor, fellow photographer, etc) to be considered for one of Rangefinder’s Top 30 Rising Stars in Wedding Photography! We couldn’t be more excited…

Cast Images just signed this little ball of energy-meet Lukas. He had more energy than a six pack of Red Bull and jumped off of any/all surfaces we put him on.

This is one of my favorite sessions of all time. Little Abby is, of course, adorable, and we were able to find some of the prettiest light I’ve ever seen. We started in our house with her little ballerina outfit and then moved to the front yard. There’s a dentist office off of L Street […]

I also graduated from BYU in Provo, UT and had a short, but lovely stint in Salt Lake City. There’s a special place in my heart […]

We fell in love with Insight Coffee with our first sweet latte. It’s got a great urban feel, some crazy cool furniture, beautiful light, and last but not least, amazing coffee. Lindsay’s order:Sweet Latte As soon as they start offering coconut milk, I’ll take my regular: Sweet Latte Coconut Milk Half-cafBut until then, I’ll just sip off Lindsay’s and […]

We got to go to Dinah Shore this year with Liani, Mackenzie, Ian, and Alexa. How much fun was it? So much fun! The photos above are a little sample of our buddies. We sure do have some beautiful friends, who are also cool…and classy…and maybe a little tipsy. One more shout out to Mike […]

We got to go to Palm Springs a few months ago and it. was. beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such soft light and lovely colors. Nor have I ever seen a hummingbird sitting on her nest in a cactus-WHAT?!?! Yes, look closely 🙂 Family friends, Mike and Grant, live in this condo from […]
