Impromptu Portrait - Carolyn

While stopped in the Wyview parking lot to shoot a rainbow, I realized the lighting was gorgeous. I was lucky to have Carolyn around who humored me with a spontaneous photo shoot in the parking lot.

Portrait - Brigitte

I absolutely loved this photo shoot! Brigitte is a pre-med student planning on serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints starting this summer. Brigitte is bright, intelligent, hard working, yet a lot of fun. She and I have had several life science classes together, and it was a nice change of pace to be able to share this more artistic side of me. Thank you for taking an interest in my work, Brigitte!

Portrait - Natalie

I first met Natalie a year and a half ago in a Korean 101 course at BYU. She's planning in majoring in a program that allows her to utilize her Korean and/or Chinese language skills - I am all for a beautiful girl with Asian pride! I still think she can pass for half Korean. Natalie is also involved in dance at BYU, and is a member of the hip-hop group Club Style. I was grateful for the opportunity to use her as a model. It was a pretty cold day, so we were forced indoors for the majority of the shoot. Thanks for a great time, Natalie!

Portrait - Daphna

This was a short shoot several months in the making. I first met Daphna in my freshman ward two years ago; she's sweet, insightful, ambitious and easy going all rolled into one amazing young woman. Thank you for being my model! Here are a few frames from the other day:

Portrait - Danny & Kajsa

Fact: my brother and his high school sweetheart are adorable.

Their chemistry is unique and it gives me the warm fuzzies seeing my brother care so much about another person. Danny is enrolled at the University of Washington as a pre-med student, while Kajsa is going to Central Washington University to study education; both leave in September for classes. I wanted them to have photos to remember each other by, so while I was home for a week I took the opportunity to have a small shoot with them at Point Defiance.

Portrait - Carolyn

This is my friend Carolyn with whom I went on all those photo walks! Her mom wanted more updated photos of her for their home, so we took a walk along the Provo/Jordan River Parkway this past weekend. I think she looks very pretty in these photos, and absolutely stunning without her glasses! Thanks, Carolyn!
