Clint & Jennifer, Engaged

He had it all perfectly planned out.

Secretly fly home to ask Jennifer's dad for permission to marry her...check.

Order the ring...check.

Dinner reservations at an awesome restaurant...check.

Book the room at a fabulous hotel...check.

So Jennifer arrives in Denver (where Clint was living at the time). They check into the hotel and head off to dinner. And Jennifer is thinking "this is it, he's going to pop the question!" She waits, and waits...and then... PSYCHE! No ring, no proposal! So she's thinking ok, maybe he's NOT going to ask me. As it turns out the ring was late. But happily it arrived the next day and Clint was able to seal the deal, after a very relaxing couples massage at the spa. Jennifer, you are one lucky girl! And Clint, I have to say you're lucky too!

Clint, who is now living in Utah, came into town last weekend so we were able to get together for an engagement shoot at Tech. Here are a few of my faves from the day.

We started off the shoot with their super-cute daughter, McKenna.

Clint & Jennifer, your engagement session was so much fun! I really enjoyed hanging out with you and hearing your funny stories. You guys are awesome and I can't wait to photograph your wedding in May! K :)

P.S. Jennifer & Clint tell their story in a beautiful way so if you've got a minute pop over to their wedding web site here, and get to know them a little better.

6 Photogs + 4 Models = Awesome Group Shoot

I participated in a group shoot Sunday in Slaton, hosted by Kent Sparkman. It was a great opportunity to try some new things, play off of some great photographers (and play with their equipment!) get some gorgeous people in front of my camera, and basically have a fabulous time, which is exactly what we did! SO MUCH FUN! And everybody got some great shots. Here's a big shoutout to our hot models who braved the freezing weather and were willing to do pretty much anything we told them to! You guys rock! Here are some of my favorites from the day.
