KJ and Lee Spring Wedding at Mt. Timpanogos Temple

Thursday, June 20, 2024

My cousin KJ and her husband Lee were sealed in March at the Mt. Timpanogos Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was truly a special day to be a part of.

And quite the adventure to photograph!

Not only did they have a full wedding party but a full reception. They are surrounded by loved ones who have rooted for the two of them to find love and couldn't wait to come and celebrate with them.

Lee shared his touching story of how "he just knew" and it was all so touching. I truly love love stories.

Calling all local Musicians - Northern Colorado

Tuesday, January 16, 2024

I often get to work with some talented musicians with the high school senior portrait work that I do, but sometimes, we do a little more! Here is a little flashback to a favorite music video we made while living in the Bay Area!

Check out Skyway on youtube. We enjoyed producing this music video for Jessica Haskin as she branches into the musical world.

I would love to connect to local musicians and create magic together here in Northern Colorado. Something with movement, genuine tales of lessons learned, and the people they involve. Let's unlock that visual potential within your music.

Jessica's song, "A Little Brighter" really warms my heart. It tells the tale of how far kindness can truly reach and make an impact on someone even if we may not see it.

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing some beautiful missionary portraits for Mary. She is headed out shortly on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

We could not have asked for a more perfect early autumn morning!

What to Wear for your Business Portrait Session

Wednesday, May 10, 2023

Choosing the right outfit for your headshot portrait is essential to make a good first impression. Here are some tips for putting together a great outfit for your headshot:

Keep it simple: The focus of your headshot should be on your face, so choose clothing that is simple and doesn't distract from your face. Solid colors are generally a good choice, and avoid patterns or designs that are too busy.

Choose the right color: The color of your outfit can have a big impact on the overall look of your headshot. Consider your skin tone and choose a color that complements it. Jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, or ruby red can look great on a variety of skin tones.

Consider your profession: Think about the industry you work in and the type of impression you want to give off. For example, if you work in a creative field, you may want to choose something more trendy and stylish, while a more conservative outfit may be appropriate for a corporate headshot.

Pay attention to fit: Your clothing should fit you well and be comfortable to wear. Avoid clothing that is too tight or too loose, and make sure your outfit is tailored to your body shape.

Accessorize with care: Keep accessories to a minimum, and choose simple pieces that complement your outfit. Avoid anything too flashy or distracting, and make sure your jewelry and other accessories don't detract from your face.

Remember, the goal of your headshot is to present a professional and approachable image of yourself, so choose an outfit that makes you feel confident and comfortable

Now in addition to your attire, be sure to limit the salts, sugars and greasy foods the week of your session. And be sure to get plenty of rest and stay hydrated! These all can take a toll on our appearance when not attended to.

We can't wait to create your next quality portrait.
