Happy Birthday Tayzhia!!!!

So you may remember back on 09-16-06 I shot Sunset and Justin's wedding and you may recall seeing pictures of Sunset's niece Tayzhia. Well I have become so close to Sunset's family, they invited my family and I to come to Tayzhia's 5th birthday party tonight. It was such a blast and we absolutely have fallen in love with Sunny's family. I am so glad that Sunny's mom Pam adopted me into their family. It was a dress up party and they did so many fun activities that once again, when the event was over I was sad we had to go (deja vu, I felt the same way at the wedding). Thank you so much for making us a part of the family and I know we will be in touch for years to come. You guys have become a special part of our lives and we look forward to next years party.

Renaissance Wedding

So on Saturday, I had the honor of shooting Kim and Arthur's wedding in Fruit Heights and let me just say how cute a couple these guys are. They decided to do a renaissance wedding and wore the most awesome costumes. They even had live musicians Idle Wild that played the harp, flute, and drums and sang celtic and irish songs. Right in the middle of the ceremony, it started pouring cats and dogs and luckily they put up a tarp to cover us all, well the water collected on the tarp and as the priest was reading from his book, all of a sudden water started pouring on his head from where it collected, it was so funny, he didn't miss a word and just kept on reading. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

Angie and Brad Zion National Park Wedding

So this past weekend my wife and I travelled down to Zion National Park to photograph Angie and Brad's wedding. On Friday the day before the wedding, Angie and Brad decided to do a shoot in Zions Canyon and it was a blast. I am surprised how hot it was down there (mid 90's), but despite the heat, we got some really great shots up the canyon. Then on Saturday, the wedding was held at the Switchback. It was a beautiful ceremony and the reception was fun filled with hours of dancing. It was great seeing some familiar faces as some of Angie and Brad's friends are also friends with Jaime and James from whom I got the referral for this wedding. It was great getting to know Angie and Brad better and I was sad when it was over. Here are a couple of my favorite images highlighting the day.

Adventures Of Madison and Kyleigh

Ok, so I have just a couple cute and funny stories to share about my two daughters that have happened recently. The other day we were out at the Old Spaghetti Factory in the Trolley Square Mall and we were sitting by a couple of foreign guys that were speaking a different language (possibly italian, turkish, or something like that), well every once in a while to my 2 year old Madison, I will speak gibberish like "goo goo gaa gaa" just to be silly with her. Well she hears these guys speaking a different language and she turns around to them and starts saying goo goo gaa gaa and other gibberish phrases. We thought it was so hilarious, but embarassing at the same time. Then a couple days ago we were out eating at Zoggers and there is the man eating alone enjoying his lunch break, he is an ideal weight, and my 2 year old again blurts out "That man fat" I don't know where in the world she got poor manners, because the man wasn't even fat at all. We were so embarassed, luckily I don't think that he heard her.

The story that I love most is what my oldest daughter Kyleigh recently said. It started a couple weeks ago when we found out that Tiffany is pregnant with our third child and we were so excited that we told Kyleigh and Madison that they will be having a new brother or sister. We didn't want to let anyone else know yet though as we wanted to surprise them with a creative photo story book with the first ultrasound picture. Well my mother was going to watch my girls for a little bit while me and Tiffany went to run some errands and as soon as Kyleigh gets into grandma's car and we are gone, she says to grandma "We're not having a new baby", and my mom says "Oh you're not are you?" and Kyleigh says "Well we are but you can't tell anyone"
So then they pick up my brother David from Job Corps and as my mom gets back in the car, my brother asks her "So Tiffany and Dustin are having a new baby?" and my mom looks at Kyleigh and says "I thought you were'nt supposed to tell anyone?" and Kyleigh responds "No grandma, you're not supposed to tell anyone"
When we heard this story we cracked up, it's so cute. So in case no one has heard yet, we are expecting our third child which will be due in May sometime.

Julie and Zach

On September 24th, I shot engagements for Julie and Zach. Can I just say these guys are so gorgeous. Julie has the most amazing eyes and I felt like I should be paying these guys to take their picture, lol. We shot them at Layton Park and they were good sports and did all the goofy things that I asked them to. I can't wait for Julie's bridal shoot and the wedding in January of next year. Here are a couple of my favorites. The blog uploader is giving me trouble with posting pictures, so please check back in a little bit for their pictures.

Andrew and Brianne

On September 24th I shot Andrew and Brianne's engagements at Layton Park. We had a lot of fun and thankfully the weather turned out to be just perfect. These two are just so cute together and were made for eachother. I love when I don't have to direct a couple and when they look naturally in love in photos. They weren't afraid to display their affection for each other and I just know they are gonna be so happy together. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

Amelia

On September 21st I shot some modeling shots of Amelia to help her build up her portfolio. We had planned on shooting at the train station in Ogden, but due to time and weather constraints we ended up just driving around Layton. We stopped first at a car title loan store on Layton because I absolutely love the yellow brick walls. After shooting there we headed out to Antelope Island for some wheat shots. It was a lot of fun, here were some of my favorite from the day.
