Roadtrippin

We are about to embark on a roadtrip today. I am so excited to get away, but nervous for spending 12 hours in the car with an active two year old (yikes!)  I'll be blogging all week (one with a giveaway!). Roadtrippin = TONS of awesome photo-ops.  So stay tuned for all the awesomeness to come. :)

What's for dinner?

Wednesday's Words

“The starting point of great success and achievement has always been the same. It is for you to dream big dreams. There is nothing more important, and nothing that works faster than for you to cast off your own limitations than for you to begin dreaming and fantasizing about the wonderful things that you can become, have, and do.” - Brian Tracy

Lwin Family Sneak Peek

Stay tuned for more photos of this charming bunch!

Utah is SO beautiful!

Like I've said before, the winters here can be brutal.  But in the summer it is just glorious!  I got to go up the canyon on Friday and help out Jon Canlas with a shoot.  We were both in awe of the beauty of the mountains and trees. Just before the sun goes down is my absolute favorite time of day.  It was a glorious evening.

Katchafire

Pounders Hawaiian Island Grill and No Ka Oi radio held an outdoor concert with the New Zealand reggae band Katchafire, and asked me to come and take photos of the event. Their harmonies were unbelievable. The music was awesome. It was perfect for a warm summer night. There was delicious shaved ice provided by Pounders and Fox 13's Big Budah came out to show some love. Here are a few photos from the event.

This photo is unrelated to the band, but I have to admit that it's my favorite. :)

Kendra, Hadley, & Taryn

Meet Kendra, Hadley & Taryn.  Kendra is mom to adorable Hadley and owner of Hadley Photography in Fargo, North Dakota. Taryn is Kendra's sister and her trusted intern. They were in town visiting and wanted some pictures taken while they were here. These three are a busy bunch with a very busy business, traveling around the country, and writing about their endeavors. I truly wish them all the luck and success in the world! Kendra kept saying "This is just a totally different experience being on the other side of the camera!" Girlfriend, it's obvious that this side of the camera loves you! Aren't they a beautiful group?

Wednesday's Words

A beautiful quote by a photography master.

"If a day goes by without me doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up."

Envision Workshop

I was absolutely thrilled to attend the Envision workshop this week with Natalie Norton and Jonathan Canlas.  "Two photography greats in one workshop? Sign me up!" I said.  It felt like we were a bunch of old friends sitting around, eating crumpets (whatever those are), talking photography, business, the industry, finding inspiration, our personal struggles and how to overcome them, our vision, our goals, etc.  It was a priceless learning experience.  To cap off the already amazing day, we headed out for two photo sessions.  An engagement session, and a family session.  The lighting, the location, the photographers, and the subjects were nothing short of amazing!  Here's a few shots of everyone in action.  Stay tuned for more of the engagement and family sessions. 

Jon, attendees, and "engaged" couple workin it out.  We went to the old Lehi railroad station, but thankfully no train track pictures were taken! (It's just not my thing)

Natalie showing us the ropes. I think the Dad's cheeks hurt from smiling so much. :)

Seriously one of the coolest dudes you will ever meet. No lie. I so look forward to working with him again.

College fund? Nah, I think I'll start saving so he can shoot Claire's wedding in like 20+ years. :)

Natalie doin' her thing. She filled our brains to capacity with her wealth of knowledge and expertise.

Like I said, the workshop was slammin. I am so glad I was able to go!  I feel like I came away with not only a smarter me, but 17 new friends and peers.
