In just a couple of weeks, I have the honor of being a bridesmaid for a very dear friend. A few months ago, I got to witness the actual proposal. Through a variety of sneaky conspiracies on various sides, I went to Gloria's restaurant in Provo and was quickly and quietly seated at a tiny table tucked in a corner with a perfect view of the soon-to-be-engaged couple. I did my best to crouch into insignificance and hide my face behind a hat and a book, tucking my camera into my lap so it could be whipped out at a moment's notice. When he got down on one knee, I abandoned all pretense, jumped up, and started clicking.
It's really such a fun thing to be able to share in moments like this. Candlelight, romantic serenades (the accordion player was singing "Bella Notte"), and a fantastic couple. Romantic sighs all around.

Candids of Evan
Boy: n A noise with dirt on it.
I'm visiting a dear friend of mine for a couple of weeks in Northern California. She's got two cute boys and I think they're awesome. But boy, can they get filthy faster than anything! :-) Evan, the older of the two, spent some mighty fun outside-time playing in the dirt, drawing with chalk, and then topping it all off with some water balloon tossing. I couldn't resist catching a few shots. It's the epitome of boyhood.

Apsens in the Snow
So, what to do on a snowy Saturday afternoon in February? Why, go take photos, of course!
I've taken these aspens before, particularly in autumn, but I liked them in the snow. I kind of wish I'd had a bit of sunlight to play with, but the cloudy day made for a nice even lighting.

Laie Temple
I got to spend a wonderful evening at the beautiful Laie, Hawai'i LDS temple. This quickly became one of my all-time favorite temples! The building is so beautifully white, and the grounds are awesome. I kept wishing I had a bride to take around photographing with me.

Oahu Waves
Just got back from a marvelous trip to the beautiful Hawai'ian island of Oahu. I spent an enjoyable afternoon just capturing the amazing blue waters and crashing waves of the North Shore beaches. It's amazing how blue this water really is. No Photoshop required. ;-)

Ballerinas in the Snow (Ballerina #1)
So, super kudos to my beautiful ballerinas, Karin and Allison, who
got dressed in tutus and pointe shoes to take photos in a snowstorm.
They were freezing, but they did so great!
The idea came to me when we had a nasty storm scheduled and I wanted to do something fun in the snow. I liked the idea of doing something all-white, but had no brides scheduled...so I landed on ballet dancers.
This was my first girl. She actually made the tutu featured in the shoot.
