the big day.

i could definitely ramble on
even more than i already have,
about this wonderful couple;
but i'll just say this:

it was beautiful...
see for yourself.

the celebration.

nicole and mr. k
had a fancy schmancy
two day celebration
up at the beautiful
sundance resort.

it was my first time
ever being up there
(i know, silly me)
and it was fantastic.

they started out with
a celebration the night
before the big day
and there was

dancing* (i love, LOVE when people actually dance)
singing
delicious food
crackling fires
twinkling lights
christmas trees
family
friends
a gracious, happy couple
and lots and lots of love.

*sometimes when there are
people dancing and enjoying themselves
all around me i just can't help
but dance with them...
i'm pretty sure i made a fool of myself...oopsies!

you'd do the same if the band started
singing "sweet caroline"...a little bit of neil never hurt anyone.

nicole's bridals.

brace yourself...
i'm going to be corny...
but corny is
okay if i'm being
totally honest right?

right.

i cannot say enough about this girl.
(nope, that's not the corny part)
we started the bridals and with every
snap of the camera i just kept
"oooh"ing and "ahhh"ing over
what a princess she looked like.

yep that was the cheesy part.

i hate when people use the word princess.
it seems so snotty and pink and feathery
and obnoxious and spoiled...but
i'm talking about a REAL princess...
i don't know any real princesses
but i'd like to think that they are kind
and beautiful and elegant and smart and put together.

that's nicole.

i am so happy to have worked with her
during one of the happiest moments of her
life and i feel like i've gained a friend.

mckee family.

it was cold. really cold.
and windy, too.

but i had all sorts of fun chasing the
kids around library square,
and listening to lance and kelli
crack each other up...
they are best friends and they're
married...and they live for their children.

i know i'm an outsider...
but i can see the happiness
they feel for their family
and it is beautiful.

thank you, for spending
your day with me,
you lovely people.

















this little pigeon has no idea what he's in for.


and a christmas card

Made For You

What can be said about Brynne and Tanner that hasn't already been said about other sweet funny and beautiful people? Oh, yeah, they are also thoughtful and smart and have some of the most entertaining home videos that I've seen.

We loved making this video for them.

BlackBox Illusions

Kyle set up this shoot of the amazing BlackBox Illusions Kiosks.
This was taken at the Layton Hills Mall.
If you like baffling, or being baffled, definitely check it out.

pilk family fun.

it's always fun...and flattering
when family asks me to take pictures.
it's especially flattering when
amy asks me because she happens
to take pictures like nobody's business.

i will happily take pictures for these
folks any old time...

a- because i love them.
and
b- because john and amy
set dave and i up on our first date
(and stuck by us through all our
silly dating drama...for three years)...
kind of a big deal.

i love you guys,
and your beautiful kiddos.
