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.

Morgan...



I love how her scarf just sets these off...





Meagan...



love everything about this one...





Monique...



and this is the best use of an old green bathtub ever...





Pierre...





hello handsome...



Meagan and Pierre posed as a couple for us...aka the Jon and Kate shoot ;)



love the attitude in this one...



and that nose wrinkle...priceless!



Thank you so much Kent for hosting the shoot and for letting us rearrange your basement and play with all your lights, and for the hot chocolate, too! Can't wait to do it again!!

Lauren is Two

I spent yesterday morning chasing this little princess around the studio and the park, and wondering where two year olds get so much energy! Lauren is my good friend Andrea's baby girl and she is just precious. I've been photographing her since she was born and it's been so much fun (and exhausting!) for me and her mom. Here's a few of my faves from the shoot.





Lauren is quite the dancer, I'm pretty sure she gets that from her mommy ;)









Thanks Lauren & Andrea!
