When you visit Utah from California

Dave is one of my favorite people and also, he’s hilarious. I don’t know about you, but I love to laugh, so I love to be around Dave. Trouble is, he lives in California so we don’t get to see each other very much. In fact, I hadn’t seen him since he’s had kids. Yikes. [...]

Megan comes to Provo

I met Megan last year when she came to be photographed for the 30 Strangers project and I liked her right away. The only problem is that she lives in Reno so I never get to see her. Well, lucky for me she decided next time she was here she wanted me to take pictures [...]

How To Photograph An Author

I used to work in a parking booth. It was called The Firestone Parking Booth, but we called it the John Wilkes Booth Memorial Booth, just for laughs. Sometimes people would call, mistaking it for a Firestone tire store. I’m ashamed to admit I once took an appointment to rotate a fellow’s tires. I told [...]

Wedding and Portrait portfolio, 2009 – 2010

Yesterday Amy and I spent some time going through all of the weddings and portrait sessions I’ve done over the last year. The purpose is to get some new display prints in my office. Freshen things up a bit. Springtime. Newness. All of that, see. And it was so great to go back and see [...]

She goes by Cat. Her name is Catalina Ayubi and she’s a wedding and portrait photographer in Miami. She’s a friend of mine that I met at WPPI last year. It was great to see her again this year and she was good enough to give me some of her time so I could photograph [...]

30 Strangers, Vegas, Mindy, and why my foot hurts

First of all, an update on the 30 Strangers. If you left a comment and are waiting to hear from me, sorry to keep you hanging. I went to Las Vegas last week and was hoping to get everything sorted out before I left. That didn’t happen, and while I was in Vegas, access to [...]

Photographer Karen Walrond and Alt Design

Last year when the 30 Strangers project was announced, we had far more requests to participate than we had spaces. Emails came, mostly from Utah, but from other places as well. One email was from Texas. The email said she wanted to be a part of the project. But in the end, it didn’t work [...]

Utah portrait photography – modeling

She wants to model. So, you call a make-up artist and a photographer and you put a portfolio together. Not bad for her first photo-shoot.

Utah headshots – Brett

I’ve know Brett since we were in Mrs McCullochs class, way back in the third grade. He’s one of the funniest people I know and I steal his jokes on a regular basis, then pass them off as my own. For example, once he sent me a slogan for the city of Orem that went [...]

Provo portrait photography – Kat

Do you think her name is Dolores Thompson or is it Kat Mandeville? When she said her name was Kat Mandeville, I thought, of course it is. Someone that looks this groovy has to be named Kat Mandeville, or if this is you, and you’re name is something like Dolores Thompson, you’d have to change [...]
