Baby Cal birth video

Emily went into labor 3 weeks earlier with baby Cal, just like her first baby, Hayes. I was so excited to get the call, "Emily is in labor, bring your camera gear!"

Emily delivered naturally and was a serious champion. I left the room just when the baby was coming out and waited outside and listened. I instantly got choked up hearing the pangs of birth and then....the first cry. I planned shots and the music to be just like Emily...calm, collected, nervous yet confident anticipation.

Enjoy.

My muse


People sometimes ask me, "Who was your favorite family to photograph?"
























I think that answers it.

Baby Charlotte

Just a few photos from a newborn session I shot this month of Camille, Matt and their new baby Charlotte. I wanted to take everything out of the room to focus on the connection between baby and parents. Add some natural light and this is what you get, enjoy.

Vallis Family Temple Sealing Video Shoot

Here is the video for the Vallis Family's temple sealing. They came from California and asked me to capture this day for them.

I wanted to tell a story of a family's preparation for entering the temple, the anticipation, the excitement, the nervousness... but with a sense of peace, reverence, tranquility. I think the music worked perfectly with the story. I loved how gentle Matt and Leah were with their little boys.

Enjoy.
