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.

the cardon family.

i'm going to get really real
for a second...

i've know this adorable family
for a few years and...you know
how there are those certain
people that for one reason
or another, you just want them
to think you're cool?...these are my
feelings about marci.
she's cool, she's confident,
she's a runner...i am amazed by runners.

i was prepared to give a longer list on
why i adore her so much but i
didn't want to be creepy...so, anyway...
you could imagine my glee when she
asked me to take family pictures.

again, these were taken awhile ago...
naughty naughty me...i'm slowly catching up.

three pease in a pod.

i always get nervous when a close friend
asks me to photograph their family;
and noelle aka noey aka the first noelle
happens to be one of my best little bosom buddies.

i was nervous...but oh so honored and giddy.

a few things:

-we took these in october...me and procrastination
are, apparently, best friends lately.

-i always said i wanted
all boys when i grew up...but if i could be promised
a little girl like taya, then i'd surely be happy as a clam :)

the pease family:

Nicole and Mr. K

It was not even one week away from the wedding, and Mr. K still had not received his visa. Miracles ensued and this couple had a dream wedding in Sundance Utah.

The reception was on December 8th, and the ceremony took place the next day.
We love you guys and we hope you are having the time of your lives!

They Go Places

If you haven't met Nicole and Mr. K, stop whatever you are doing and go find them. They are so nice and funny. Your heart will be warmed, mark my words.

Here's the engagement video we made for their reception.

"Nicole and Mr. K are so totally bodacious. Nicole is beautiful, classy and punctual. Mr. K is sharp, keen, and hilarious. They met in Germany on one serendipitous evening. Check out Nicole's blog:
shegoesplaces.blogspot.com

It was like a dream working with this sweet couple.

This video gives you a heavy dose of embarrassing baby pictures along with an explanation of how they met and will leave you with a tear in your eye at the end."

Kinesiological Analysis: Free Throw Shot

This was made for a course my brother Mike is taking at the University of Utah.

Not the first video assignment that I have helped create. I always seem to go over board with these. It's almost a nervous tick I get paying attention to detail- just like how I can't stand to leave anything in the recycle bin on my computer.



So maybe John's wearing Thurl Bailey goggles and a Superfly jersey, but the slow motion is flawless.

joe & bianca. lovebird family pictures.

i went to school with joe;
but haven't really seen him
since then...and that was
like, ten years ago
(yep, this girl's gettin' up there).
so, you can imagine how
excited/flattered/nervous
i was when they asked me
to take their family pictures.

it was such a fun morning.
i felt like i was just hanging
out with my friends.
and lets face it, that beats work
any day.
and they couldn't have been
sweeter to each other...like, genuinely
in love, sweet. those are the best kind of couples.

aaaand (like i do in every shoot)
i found something that bianca
was wearing that i completely envy.
just look at her gold shoes...sigh.
