...Janae & Taylor... [Engagements]

We had lots of fun on this shoot discovering new spots to shoot & doing a little exploring. Good thing Desiree was there to help with her mad google map skills. (& of course her mad reflector holding skills as well) I absolutely loved how smiley & happy these two were during their session. The first thing Janae said to me as we were getting out of the car was how they both were not photogenic whatsoever. WHATEVER GIRL! These images prove otherwise, you rocked it! :) I kinda think it's cute when my clients are a little camera shy at first.. I always seem to get them to open up somehow though.

Anyway, Janae & Taylor met at school (BYU) and Taylor swore he wouldn't get married sooner than a year or two after he returned home from his mission... AND Janae swore she wasn't going to get married anytime soon either. Crazy what love can do ain't it?

Taylor is originally from CA & Janae is from Vegas but they didn't have trouble deciding that they would be married in the Las Vegas temple in August. I am super excited to shoot my first wedding there!

...Shanae & Josh... [engagements]

So as some of you may know, I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to go on a week long vacation to Mexico with my hubby as well as this adorable couple. The main purpose? Engagements & Bridals. We also made plenty of time for site seeing (Mayan ruins like Tulum, Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, etc.) & eating plenty of authentic Mexican food. We shot their engagements on a beach in Akumel & we were so lucky because it had been raining all day & as soon as it stopped we took advantage and started shooting.. as soon as we finished it started to down pour and the streets were flooded in a matter of minutes! It was so much fun shooting on a beach for the first time, it was gorgeous! I hope you guys enjoy these photos, there is a ton because I couldn't narrow them down anymore! Leave me some love! :)

...Oliver...[newborn]

Meet Oliver. He's brand new & I got to meet him when he was only a few days old. You may remember me mentioning his Mom in past posts. Desiree, has been helping me out for the last little while & so when she came to me to do Oliver's newborn's I was more than happy! He was a tough little guy to photograph, he did not want to sleep AT ALL. But 4 hours of trying.. we got some cute ones. :) I can't get over his adorable button nose.. so cute!
