Nat and Brett Bridal Shoot!

Dear all the people in the world.

I want to thank you.

Thank you.

We're on our way. Even if it lasts an hour.

I think the above picture is more funny if I don't tell you what was going on. So.... yep.









I get emotional with these pictures. And I think it has something to do with it being my family. I love them so much. Here is just a sneak peak of all the pictures I loved from this wedding. I am going to post more.

If you all could only be as lucky as I am to be surrounded by these good, good, good people.

Car je ne t’en demanderai jamais autant

Apparently I listen to french music more lately then songs with lyrics I can understand.
How does make me cry?
How can I feel this music so much?

Please listen/watch this.

I am back from Timp Lodge.
We danced our rears off last night.
That is all.

If you say it, then say it out loud.

Cliff notes version of my life the past month.

1. Walden: I teach at the greatest hippie school ever.
2. I really believe in the learning atmosphere it strives for and succeeds at creating.
3. My kids have no idea how much I love them.
4. This week Walden has been at BYU's Timp Lodge on a retreat.
5. The drive is absolutely enchanting right now with the leaves changing.
6. I can't wait to do it again in the morning, and then stay the night having girl talk with my high school kids.
7. I study (GRE).
8. I visit sociology professors.
9. I have read, a lot. (Anthem, The Mastery of Love, The Alchemist again, Scriptures like crazy, Gossamer, Sociology essentials)
10. I went to the state fair and held a lemer. Joy filled my soul.
11. I love where I live. Its just Mel and I.
12. I have my own room and bathroom.
13. I found a 400.00 ticket to Germany.
14. In the past week I had a kid guess I was 19 and another guess I was 30.
15. I had a class to remember last week with my photo students. Kids are so much smarter and insightful then we give them credit for.
16. Melodie makes me good food.
17. I hiked Timp- got three hours into it and threw up. Note to self: don't do a big hike at 2:00 am when you fasted all day. I don't care how pretty sunrise will be.
18. We had a great party for Ash at our house a couple of weeks ago. It was a blast.
19. Melodie and I bought a stamp collection at DI.
20. I spend a lot of time at Teri's, on her deck, talking about life, or dancing.

Business Casual. Please.

Maren and Grant's 2 year Anniversary!

This last Saturday Ed and I headed up to Eden to do an Anniversary shoot with Maren and Grant. It was kind of rainy, so we were really happy that the sky cleared as the day went on. It ended up being so beautiful outside and Eden really is a mini paradise in the greenest, most beautiful valley. After taking a few family shots of Maren's family we headed out. It was so much fun. Honestly it felt like the four of us were just hanging out and having a good time- because we were!

I shot Maren and Grants Wedding 2 years ago. Although we have kept in touch since (Maren and I are kindred spirits), it was fun to reminisce about their wedding day with them.











After we finished with this ridiculously beautiful couple, Maren and Grant decided to have a go on the other side of the camera.

They told me to tell them after wards who had the better pictures. Grant vs. Maren. Honestly I can't decide. They both did a superb job, despite having to deal with their ridiculous subject.

I am including some bloopers. These prove I don't belong in front of the camera.

My eye loves Ed.


I know my place.
