Robbie - Utah Headshot Photographer

Robbie is a good friend of mine who I met this past couple of months, after I moved to Springville. Robbie has a lot of great qualities, some of which include that he is honest, loyal, kind-hearted, and the list could go on and on.

A couple of weeks ago, Robbie asked me if I would be willing to take some headshots for his new career in acting. Of course I obliged! Robbie turned out to be a natural, and we had a lot of fun on his first photo shoot ever! He took direction really well, and I am and was really impressed with how well he took direction.

Robbie, I just wanted to say that I am really proud of you for taking this chance and doing something that you really want to do. I really believe in you, and think that you have the potential to be extremely successful in this field. Always work hard, and never give up! You've got a lot of people rooting for you!












Special thanks to my boyfriend and Robbie's friend Kent for coming along and helping out!

Weddings, Weddings, and More Weddings!

This past couple of weeks has been a little bit insane - October 8, 9 and 16th I shot all day weddings. Normally, for those who know me, know that I shoot one a month, with other jobs in between. Thankfully, the brides I have been working with have been really amazing, and I have loved getting to know them and their grooms better!

Congratulations, Amanda and Tyler, Tara and Larry, and Auburn and Jamison! Thanks for making me a special part of your day. Each of you brought great new experiences into my life, and much, much fun! May each of your marriages be filled with love, laughter and kindness, and may you always remember how happy you were on your wedding day!

The Day I Bought a Stranger a Coke


Although I know that this is a photography blog, I had to document my most recent social experiment, given by my awesome Business Writing professor, Shayne Clarke (not spelled S-H-A-N-E!).

My Professor challenged our class to make a blog post this week about buying a stranger a coke. In true fashion, at 11:10 p.m. last night, I headed to Chevron to purchase a coke to give to a stranger. As luck would have it, the only person within eye distance was the cashier, whose name is Josh. I asked him if he liked Coca-Cola, and he confusingly replied that he did. I then asked if I could purchase a coke, and then give it to him. His response was -

"Wait - is your professor that falconry guy?"

Turns out the guy that I bought the coke for, named Josh, had taken Professor Clarke's Business Writing class two years ago, where he was given the same exact assignment.

Shayne, you will be happy to know that Josh informed me that he still blogs in the blog that he started in your class two years ago. Happy Monday, everyone!
