Oh, How I Love Spring!

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~Robin Williams

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain

Library stock shoot

About 16 photographer and 12 models at the downtown Salt Lake Library this weekend. We are truly blessed to live in a state with so much talent. How I love to work with other photographers and see so much creativity being produced. It is amazing to see how people encourage and try to help out those who are in the same field as them. Instead of being selfish and only thinking about oneself it seems as if everyone wants to make sure that everyone gets their perfect shot. I want to thank all of those who I met and those who I already have known who came out and made this event wonderful. I also want to again thank Renee and Todd for all they do for the stock community and their efforts in putting this great event on.

Here are a few shots...had so many hard to decide which to put up.

Fairy Tale Wedding

"A happy marriage has in it all the pleasures of friendships, all the enjoyment of sense and reason - and indeed all the sweets of life. - Joseph Addison

"Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale." - anonymous quotation

Heroes

"You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if its just in your own eyes"---Walter M. Schirra, Sr.


"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."--Christopher Reeve

I have so many heroes in my life, some my age, some older, and some much, much younger. When I was younger, I was determined that I could save the world and make it a much better place to live. I have found that throughout my life that I have met individuals who have shown me that anything is possible.

I would like all to meet Jonah, he is 2 years old and has been diagnosed with Bronchiectasis. He is treated similarly to those who have Cystic Fibrosis. He makes regular trips up to Primary Children's hospital for different procedures, doctor visits and so forth. He usually always has a cute little smile on his face and has the most contagious laughter that I have ever heard. He is definitely a little boy and gets into mischief even up at the hospital. Oh, how I love this little man and what he has taught me about life, I can never repay him.

Playing Princess

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."--Coco Chanel

Bridals are so much fun. To see a beautiful woman all dressed up and spending the day celebrating being a woman and knowing that soon she will be married to her Prince Charming. It just makes me smile. :)

Saturday night

"The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results."
--Anthony Robbins

I had another fun shoot this weekend with such an energetic, fun, young lady. If only we all had so much energy, we could accomplish so much in this life time. Times like this, make me miss my own youthful energy that I once had.

Friday night shoot

“The difference between pretty and beautiful is-
pretty is temporal-whereas beautiful is eternal.”---Unknown.

I met two beautiful women last night. I had the chance to work with an amazing model (Aalorah) and MUA (Rachel Hunter-Crag). It is amazing when you work with people and afterward you just feel so great because of the people you had the chance to spend the last couple of hours with.







sometimes, you just have to have a little bit of fun
