A Spring Engagement

Spring in Utah is a funny thing isn't it? One minute its pouring rain, the next its capri weather and then you look out the window and there's 3 inches of snow! It makes planning photo shoots a little tricky and as luck would have it, it had been raining all morning the day of this session. I called a couple hours before the session to see what this awesome couple wanted to do and they said "well it looks like its going to be sunny so lets do it!" 

SURPRISE The sun did come out, it was beautiful light and we got some fantastic images! I am completely in love with these pictures and can't wait to get them finished so I can show them off!

Sister Missionary Pictures

This pretty lady has decided to serve a mission for the LDS church.And no joke this was the fastest mission call I've ever heard of! Seriously, 5 weeks! In that time this girl packed up her life in NY moved cross country to get home and prepare to leave for her 18 month mission, talk about CRAZY! 

Thankfully we were able to fit her session in a very short time frame that she had and get some amazing pictures of her. 

You are going to make a wonderful missionary!

and against their wills a family with mom and sister!

Sweet little family

The rain literally stopped the moment I pulled up for this session, SUCH a relief! I loved everything about this session from their outfits, to their personalities to the sweet little boy that kept me smiling the entire time! 

Astonish - Jenn

Sometimes we just need a picture that reminds us how beautiful we really are because, as women sometimes we forget! What we see everyday is woman with professional makeup and hair done and a professional photographer taking their pictures and then airbrushing them to "perfection" I don't think they have it right. In fact I think the magazines have it so wrong!! Perfect beauty of a woman doesn't have one look or one size, its found in every woman! Even the moms who feel completely worn down and haven't made it out of their sweats at 4pm because they've been cleaning all day and up all night with a new baby, or the business woman that is completely frazzled by Friday and feels like a mess and just needs a drink or a nice warm bubble bath or both! 

The thing I love the most about an astonish session is that I get to show those everyday woman just how beautiful they really are! The beauty that is seen by their husbands, their siblings, best friends, parents and children!! 

Meet Jenn, I've known her for over 10 years! She is absolutely gorgeous to me. She's also pretty funny and always laughing, which makes her a blast to be around! I hope Jenn can feel as pretty as I think she is!
