The Tuesday Ten | Top 10 Photos from 2015

This weeks edition of the Tuesday Ten is another recap of 2015. Like last year we are sharing our top 10 favorite photos from this past year!

Oh this was HARD! We had over 250 folders to sift through on my hard drives from 2015. That means a lot of these were picked because of the memories that go along with the photos or session. Congrats if you made it in our top 10 BUT that doesn’t mean every session we did isn’t amazing on it’s own! We love sharing memories, capturing families and smiles for all our clients.

These are in NO particular Order. 

1. Vintage Engagement Shoot
This was a fun day. I spent a little over a month planning for this photo shoot with some amazing vendors and other photographers. It turned out awesome and I love the photos. It was really hard to pick just one so check out more from this session on the blog post!  The models we used are awesome people and I’m so excited to photograph their wedding in Feb! Doing free shoots does pay off sometimes, and with these two it’s a total win-win!

2. Winter 4×4 Jamboree 
I have this secret passion for jeeping, ok maybe it’s not so secret because I drive a jeep ha ha BUT We didn’t get out as much last year as we’d like to. I sure missed Moab,  St George and all of our groups. This photo was taken in January at the Winter 4×4 Jamboree event in St George of one of our friends Ron Barr going up an incline. Not a super hard line but his rig, the red stone and the sky just make it a perfect picture for me. Check out more from our trip here. 

3. Jaxson and Sarah Formals
Oh these two! I had a blast with them for their engagement, formal and wedding sessions! They are such a cute couple, not to mention they are both gorgeous! Their formal session at the Logan Temple was perfect. The sky and weather were spot on and they looked like they just stepped out of a magazine. More of this session here. 

4. Hawkes Newborn
This little lady is one of my favorite newborns ever. (It helps that she’s my niece). I have tried this pose on many newborns but up until her I had never mastered this… so when she hit it and without photoshop editing I was thrilled! The image on the left is on canvas hanging in my studio. Seriously one of my favorite newborn photos EVER.

5. Berentzen Family
This session stands out in my mind for many reasons. 1. They are beautiful people and make amazing photographs but 2. They were so helpful when I stepped on a Railroad Spike during their session I’ll never forget them. (full Story here). I am amazed at how nice and giving some of my clients are like the Berentzen’s. I am still thankful to this day it was them with me that day. I got lucky, that’s for sure!

6. Sanders Birthstory
This little guy’s birthstory was amazing. I was so grateful to share their special day to capture their memories. He is an adorable baby and has an amazing family. His mom did so good  in prepping for their pictures she had all the items she wanted to use to dress him/wrap him and set him on. She’s the owner of BATZkids and has some pretty awesome items. I LOVE the milestone blanket and the initial blanket! Totally cute! Check her out. 

7. Mike and Cassi Wedding
This wedding at the Linden Barn was amazing, beautiful and FUN! These two are do down to earth, easy going and were a blast to work with.

8. Drake Newborns
Another newborn because I seriously love snuggling these little babies and this lady was no different! She was adorable and such a little “Angel” 🙂

9. Bransen and Jessica Engagement
These two just tied the knot before Christmas but their engagement session from this fall was beautiful! They are so happy together and I couldn’t have had better clients!

10. High Maintenance Dress Up with MaKinlee
Another session I planned. I had to find the perfect chair for this and I did. I love it (and so does my dog Max) and Miss MaKinlee crushed it during this session! More photos here.  It’s a vintage look but totally fits little girls. Miss MaKinlee was a beautiful model for me.

Honorable Mentions:

I also thought it was fun to look back on the last 3 years! See the top photos for those years in the links below and notice the change in style, editing and composition. It’s amazing the difference practice and time can make on creating a picture.
