where in afton are there old buildings that are not full of peeling-paint-like character?
OH YEAH, the century plus years old Tabernacle! Perfect!

Proud of you, Mrs Wyoming America!

]]>thank you STAR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL!
sitting six feet apart on the football field, with drive in parking on the grass for families kept everyone socially distanced. coach bolton and alex boyé made video cameos with video of the graduates receiving diplomas from a person of their choice made it all extra special.

though i meant offering free cap and gown portraits as a service to our amazing seniors, i felt my bucked filled by their love and energy , not to mention how awesome their parents were too.
here's to you kids! if you can go through this wild time with grace, and smile for the camera, you can change the world for the better.
even the dog had a great smile

this chronicles the roberts visiting their aunt at her work place
this session was a beautiful evening, up and down the canyon, and even in the dark on daddy's old truck :)
I loved taking these family photos as farming was happening in real time.
the details were tailor made (and handmade by the couple). the setting in jackson, wy was just right on a perfect day. all the best to you two!! thank you for letting me share your amazing day.
]]>
(seen here with her wonderful and bountiful extended family at their reunion)
my philosophy is that star valley attracts really amazing people!
love you guys! (and i love this location of flat rocks next to the snake river)
with a winner winner (holy medals) sweetie of a girl
(who now will be off to college!!??!!?!?)
i love this family! i loved this beautiful evening on their property. taking photos in locations that connect to the subject have magic in them.
fall is always a good idea up the greys river. always.
i love taking this great extended family's photos every reunion they have, they are sweet, kind and full of life.
beautiful girls who are kind, fun, and strong as wyoming women can be
for a beautiful and kind couple's wedding.
Thank you to Adilade E. for the candids! Lampshade loves weddings!
]]>this day was such a treat for me, the weather was swirly and beautiful. the flowers and shrubs were in high form. the structure matched skin tones so well, and the couple, so delightful! thank you.
all the sweetest to you caleb and sarah!
these delightful boys brought chicks to the studio. so fluffy i'm going to die!
(tractors are usually around and they always are cute boy magnets)
even after the entire party traveled through many states to get here, they could not have been any kinder. all the best wishes to you guys!
oh saylor, you are so so so so so cute! #momswhocandohair
yes that is right, these photos were taken in negative 14° frosty winter
nonetheless, hannah was amazing! we froze a laugh, visible to the eye, we found awesome metal, and really enjoyed a cold winters day (with frequent warming up in the car breaks)
these are lovely generous people. i am happy to know them and be around their grounded awesome selves. thanks guys!!
sam and jason
today i'm showing photos of beautiful haley g. to highlight some of my favorite editing choices. here we have a full natural looking color, a desaturated sharpened warm wash, and a classic black and white. some photos look better with one or another, but some times i find a photo that loves all three. it is interesting that each effect draws your eye to something different than the last. what one do you like best?
this session was a peaceful morning stroll down thayne and muddy string. we had some great photographic finds! thanks haley!
they had each person in the family show their cowboy boots, for a "family boot photo". then an extra baby pair was brought out to add to the photo. it took a minute, but the kids started to figure it out. it was so fabulous to be there and document the children's discovery. Afterwards, it was such a fun way for them to then share the photos with everyone else announcing their exciting news. thanks nelson's for letting me be a part of this moment. you're a beautiful growing family.
the gorgeous location is the "Happitu Ranch" just up from McCoy Creek turn off. It is available to rent for weddings, parties, and any event you would want a specatular mountain setting for. If you want more infomation, shoot me an email and i'll head you in the right direction.
her mother had to take deep breaths, realizing her girls was growing up. her sister loved to throw leaves.
it was pretty cool.
the golds were muted, the pond still (the abandoned carcass from hunters had us on the verge of ralphing),
and the senior, full of her beautiful magic.
thanks hayley!
this was a blast with bali color, paint brushes, and smoke bombs
keep coloring the world sage!
now, here's a peak into a cute family portrait session in a barnyard.
those 1001 way better pay off. :)
what a sweet new family!
i admire how you treat each other girls!
(featuring the seniors of the team)
good luck on your last year of high school!

{for anyone wondering, yes i will travel the globe with you to photograph your weddings too! hire me anytime.}
i found that even though i was on my second european wedding, miles and cultures away from home, the elements are exactly the same...
love, commitment, fashion, celebration, feasting, and loved ones. in essence, la dolce vita!
locations- Mondovi Italy, Sanctuario Vicoforte, Village of Barolo, Ceretto Winery all in the Piedmont Region
]]>
the smiles were pretty legit when he joined...
coming soon, the wedding and reception,,,
]]>
when your family is this kind and sweet, it is a joy for the photographer.
toddler before and after...
don't be disheartend when toddlers get emotional on a photo shoot. the emotional roller coaster will always have ups and downs, the key is to just wait for the ups to take the photo :)
i'm eagerly waiting for my very own "bedford" to arrive.

these kids know photos sessions are always a lot of fun, but made even better when farmer alan gives tractor rides
(This session also started at 7:30 a.m.. Not everyone is this ready to go that early in the morning. I commend you bright children of the morning. You are amazing.)
one project was with the sixth grade stars at etna elementary. together with student cast and crew, we made this little number- a parody to "high school musical". go ahead and enjoy it, but beware, the lyrics stay in the head.

Sister moon will be my guide
In your blue blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I'm all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night through
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
Lying in a mother's arms
The primal root of a woman's charms
I'm a stranger to the sun
My eyes are too weak
How cold is a heart
When it's warmth that he seeks?
You watch every night, you don't care what I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
My hunger for her explains everything I've done
To howl at the moon the whole night through
And they really don't care if I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
Sister Moon

These fun family photos were taken back in January. I had no idea the personality that awaited my camera.
