TJ fans!! I wanted to show you something special <3 <3 A way a ray of sunlight can be a gift to your entire photo session :):) This is my cute friend Nanette!! Towards the end of her photo shoot, during the AMAZING golden hour, I noticed there was a single ray of sunshine that I saw touching the ground. As a photographer I feel I can see light differently, I feel it's a God given gift, a gift I do NOT take lightly. And THIS ray of sunshine I knew wasn't going to stay long. ESPECIALLY during golden hour where the sun is constantly setting and changing so I thought FAST and asked Nanette to stand in a very specific and small area. I bumped my shutter speed up to add more drama to the shot, to make the darks darker and the sun ray more intense <3 <3 We ended up getting these GORGEOUS shots that are almost unreal!! The lighting was so stunning and was only there for about a minute. I took these few within those small, perfect moments of her photo shoot and I'M SOOOO GLAD THIS HAPPENED ON NANETTE'S SHOOT!!!! How completely BEAUTIFUL is this lady?!?! With the sun hitting her face just right it truly highlighted the natural LIGHT Nanette is and I couldn't be prouder of how these turned out <3 <3 As a professional photographer of nearly 10 years ( It'll be 10 AMAZING years in January 2020!!!! ) I am still amazed at the gifts God gives me on each and every one of my photo shoots. I am humbled, thankful and grateful for his loving touch, the heavenly light we are able to enjoy for photography and for photographers everywhere, and the phenomenal beauty of each and every person He made so perfectly. I am SO BLESSED to do what I do and to help every one who stands in front of my lens know and FEEL that THEY ARE ENOUGH, and show them the tender mercies God gives them on their photo shoot. What an amazing, wonderful and BEAUTIFUL 'job' I have!! To stop for a moment and thank the Lord for the blessing of a single ray of sunshine that I KNOW is going to be a game changer for a photo session, to add something so unique, so wonderful and totally special for them. I LOVE that I am able and blessed to help show ppl their pure beauty, their beautiful souls and that God made them on purpose and for a purpose and HE DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES!!!! I'm amazed at the beautiful places I am privileged to photograph at, this beUTAHiful state I am so honored to call home and for the amazing sunshine that makes my job possible. <3 <3 What an honor it was to photograph Nanette again and to have her be the beauty in these 8 shots :):) Thanks Nanette for pausing with me to admire the sunshine and bask in it's glory!!

TJ fans!!!! Please welcome Edward Schofield + Summer Annison!!!! Oh my most perfect couple ever <3 <3 So this good looking dude is actually my sweet younger brother <3 <3 I was OVER THE MOON EXCITED when he asked me to do a photo shoot for him and his GORGEOUS lady :):) I had never met her so I was PUMPED!! Also, what photographer doesn't LOVE taking pictures of a STUNNING couple in a breath-taking location?!?! lol We found the PERFECT location and I was SO excited for the surprise he had for his sweet girl. We took their 'dating story' pics in their first outfit and THEN for their second outfit Eddy surprised Summer with a very sweet & lovely PROPOSAL!!!! On top of the world with the most perfect light :):) It was SOOOO hard keeping that a secret for the ENTIRE shoot hahaha but I did it #nailedit 😂 Eddy wanted to propose on top of a mountain and OF COURSE I knew the PERFECT location!! I suggested this beautiful place and it couldn't have been more DREAMY!! Eddy asked Summer when they were first dating, 'Do you like palm trees or pine trees better?' She responded, 'palm trees!' Since they live in AZ it makes sense lol!! Eddy however LOVES pine trees, the snow and snowboarding. Opposites attract ;) So he wanted to propose to her in the pines <3 <3 He proposed with a single white rose that symbolized eternity together. He hid it from Summer ( see pic as to how ) as they walked to 'THE SPOT'. We took a few pics then he gave her the white rose and asked her if she knew what the white rose symbolized. She said she didn't know, so he told her it symbolized his eternal love for her and that it represents their eternity together. He got down on one knee and IMMEDIATELY Summer said YES hahaha!!!! He gave the sweetest proposal that consisted a little bit of, 'You can take the boy out of the pines but you can't take the pines out of the boy!' A VERY Eddy way to propose!! lol!! And she bent down to his eye level and said YES!! Then you know the rest <3 <3 Eddy and Summer I am soooo incredibly happy for you both!! Summer thank you for making my brother SO HAPPY!! I have NEVER seen a bigger smile on my brother's face, ever. You are both GLOWING and I'm soooo very excited you'll be joining our family forever!! Eddy THANK YOU for asking me to be apart of this, for letting me and Mom help you in the planning of the PERFECT proposal, and for trusting me to document the entire thing so you guys can have these images to hold in your hearts and hands forever.

This family is ALWAYS giving, always thinking of others, always taking care of others and I am personally better for knowing them. You walk into their home and you immediately feel of God's love for you and for them. It was truly an incredible experience. I usually ask families with little kids to sing one of their favorite songs to the new baby as I get some peek-a-boo shots through the bedroom door of the whole family in that moment :):) and guess what song THIS cute family chose?? High hopes by Panic! at the Disco!! Oh my goodness, it was the most awesome thing ever!! Those lovely girly knew EVERY WORD and they sang it loud and proud <3 <3 What an amazing evening and a song I will forever tie to this beautiful family.
