model for me...

I recently photographed Lianna at my new studio in SLC. It's been so long since I have spent much time in a studio and I am having so much fun.

I have all sorts of stock shoots planned for the new space and I'm looking for a wide range of people as well as seasoned models to work with. The types of people I am looking for range from people with tattoos and piercings, mechanics and Dr's to young kids and soccer moms and everything in between. If you have ever thought about modeling or if you model regularly and you are interested in working with me and don't mind signing a model release, send me an email with an image of yourself and a brief description of who you are. You may be wondering what's in it for you... good question. Everyone who models for me gets a proof cd from their shoot and up to 5 touched up hi res digital images so please send in those emails.

Here are some images from Lianna's shoot, let me know what you think.

Dew Tour SLC: BMX Dirt

I have been really busy lately so hanging out with Ayden at the Dew Tour in SLC was a lot of fun! We had a blast watching the action from the front row and then walked over to the Gateway mall and had some dinner. It was some long awaited father and son time that I cherish so much.

Here are some shots of the action as we saw it.

The sun was setting behind the building (Triad Center) and shining right through the atrium.


James Foster, last years SLC Dew Tour winner.

The man... Ryan Nyquist!

Here is a shot of Mike Aitken, the local rider who took the #1 spot. The light you see in the top of the image is from a huge flood light mounted on a crane and yes, that's the moon in the top right.

Check out this video to see how crazy good Mike is.


Another shot of Nyquist after he crashed on his second run. He didn't have a good night and he wasn't happy. Ayden was able to get is autograph on the back of his shirt.

This image is a prime example of why I LOVE my Nikon D3! It was taken on the street corner at 9:30 PM with available light (no flash) at 1600 ISO as we were leaving the BMX Dirt venue.

sneak peek: Savannah

What a treat it was working with this beautiful little cheeky. She was so good during our shoot and you can't deny how darn cute she is! Her aunt Jackie is one of my most loyal clients... love ya girl!

vacation: Sun Valley

I apologize for being a bad blogger, I have been busy and blogging is always the last think on the list to do. My family and I took some long needed R&R and went to Sun Valley, ID. If you haven't been there you should plan a trip and go. We go regularly I recommend visiting in the winter if you like to ski or snowboard and the Summer if you like to mountain bike, fly fish, etc...

Anyway, here are some shots from our travels. To all of my clients who are waiting on their images, I am almost caught up so you should be getting a call very soon! Thanks for your patience.

Here's Bentley jumping on the bed our first night there.

Ayden clowning around in the pool.

Some images of the beautiful new church in Ketchum... I'd love to shoot a wedding at this church!
