Logan Utah Formal Wedding Photography

This is the last in my series of portraits from my beautiful niece's wedding.  She totally had the right idea about these pictures.  She waited until a week after the wedding to do these.  There is a trend here in Utah weddings (and yes, I've asked around, it's just a Utah thing) where the bride and groom go out before the wedding and do formal pictures.  I sort of think this is an interesting trend.  It totally ruins the surprise of the groom seeing his bride in her dress for the first time on the day of the wedding.  I'm not really a traditionalist, but it does take out a bit of the fun of it all.  

With these though, she got to save the surprise for walking down the aisle.  The best part for me, there was no pressure the day of the wedding to get everything stuffed in during the allotted time, we just went out and took our time and got some gorgeous pictures.  It was perfect timing too.  The lilacs were out and everything was so lovely and green.  Their whole wedding experience was just perfect.  I'm so lucky I get to call them family!

Family Pictures Logan Utah

I know there are a lot of photographers out there that are intimidated by family portraits.  It can be daunting, it's hard to get everyone to look at you at the same time, but I really enjoy doing them.  It's really fun for me to get to know a family and I like the posing challenge.  Sounds weird, I know, but it's fun for me.

This was such a great opportunity for me.  This cute family was from out of state and with children living here and there, they don't always get to have all of their children in one place.  So I felt pretty lucky to be included in that.  This was another case of me not really getting to pick the time we shot, but again, I got lucky and it was a nice cloudy day.  This family was so fun and I got a ton of really cute shots.  I hope you enjoy!

Logan Utah Bridal Photography

I'm so excited to share today's blog post!  I've had these portraits for so long and I've neglected my blog and didn't get to post them (see last post for my terrible apology)  but I'm catching up and that's all that matters right? 

As I've stated about a millions times, I no longer shoot weddings, but I LOOOOOOVE to shoot bridals!  This is my gorgeous niece who was married in April.  I posted her fun engagement pictures here.  We hurried out before her wedding to take a few bridal portraits and I was just a little worried.  It was the middle of the day and not great for light, but as luck would have it, it clouded up and started to rain just a tiny bit so I had nothing to fear.  She was such a beautiful bride!  I'm so excited for her and this exciting next adventure in life!

Logan Utah Senior Pictures

How has everyone's summer been?  Mine has been exceptionally busy!  So busy I've neglected my blog. Today I went to finally get some posts ready and I found that I had started a bunch of posts back in May and I hadn't ever finished them.  So get ready for photography over load.

I photographed this gorgeous senior as part of my Senior Rep program last fall.  I love getting to photograph these girls twice, it's amazing to me how much they change in a year!  They grow up so fast! We had so much fun on this shoot.  I think I pretty much shot until the sun went down because we were having too much fun!  It's been a couple of months since I've done Senior Portraits and I miss it, so please, if you need some give me a call, we'll have a blast!

Logan Utah Engagement Photography

It's been a crazy year for my family this year and it's not even half way thru!  We had a wedding, unfortunately a funeral, and a baby is on the way in August (not me silly, my niece).  It's one reason this blog got neglected for so long.  Life got in the way.  It happens to most of us.  

This is my niece who got married this year.  She is such a great girl with such a good head on her shoulders.  I was lucky enough to get to take her engagement pictures, bridals, and formal pictures of both her and her new husband.  I didn't do the wedding though because we've been through this, I don't do weddings haha!  In fact, she came over to talk to me about doing pictures and I was so worried she was going to ask me to shoot the wedding.  I was talking to my sister and asking her if I should be fool enough to do it or not, but in the end it didn't matter.  She knew I didn't like weddings and was arranging someone else to do it.  I texted my relief to my sister that night only to discover I had accidentally texted the bride to be instead!  How embarrassing!  Luckily I would never have anything bad to say about this cute girl so it wasn't too bad, but we've all had that moment of panic when we realized we aren't talking to who we though, right?  At least I hope I'm not the only one to do that!  Enjoy this fun engagement session shot in downtown Logan, Utah.
