Have you ever had to start up a LinkedIn, make a new resume, or audition for a part and when the time comes to put in a professional picture, you spend too much time scrambling around looking for a nice shot to use? I’ve totally been there (and I’m a photographer) and it is so frustrating! I’m always frantically looking for the right picture, thinking to myself, ‘Is this even professional enough?’. The last thing I want to do is spend tons of money on a studio and get a canned smiling photo with a brown backdrop that makes me look like a real estate agent – no bueno. So why not just spend a small amount and get the perfect headshot you need for your LinkedIn, resume, or even Facebook profile and never have to worry about this again? That’s what Trent decided to do. Here’s the nice thing about having your headshots done – it’s quick and easy, you’ll have professional pictures to use for whatever you need and when, it’s a cheaper alternative to a studio portrait (and a better looking one that an iPhone photo), and you’ll end up getting portraits that show who you are as a person and fit your style – no matter what profession you’re in. Your pictures say a lot about who you are – both personally and professionally! It’s important to make sure you have something worth showcasing you! So if you’re thinking about getting a headshot, contact me for more details! We’ll get something set up for you to use on your next resume!...

The season for family pictures is usually fall, but I’m here to say that summer is just as fun! The Mills kids are a hoot – those twin boys kept me on my toes and like my twin brothers, there is always something happening with them. Their sister and I bonded over being the only girls in our families AND having twin brothers. It made for a fun shoot along with some fun pictures! Draper is full of some great spots right now and Utah is blooming with beauty – so if you need some family pictures, let’s talk! We can find some great spots...

It’s this couple’s first anniversary today! One year ago, they had a wonderfully fun and lovely wedding day at the Manti Temple and were kind enough to let me make their wedding video. I had never done a wedding video before and was so excited to be a part of their day and make something of it. Happy anniversary Amanda & Erik! Amanda & Erik from Elsa Jensen on...

This photo shoot was probably one of the best (I know I say that a lot, but hear me out). It seemed doomed from the start – it was during those incredibly rainy and days for Utah in the spring where we couldn’t catch a minute without water, and on top of it, this was the only day that Megan’s gorgeous bouquet would be ready. I was extremely worried we were going to be poured down on from the gray gloomy clouds above while I drove to the Provo Castle, but as soon as Megan arrived, everything worked out perfectly – and with no rain! All of the plants were so lush and green in that gorgeous orchard and the lighting was simply stunning – add in Megan’s beautiful dress and infectious smile, and we were set. I love love love these photos and I hope you do too! Here is to Megan’s wedding (which is happening today) – may it be the most beautiful day! ...

Have I shown you this adorable couple and their even more adorable video yet? Talia and Brady were so sweet and tender with each other on their wedding day and it made for a perfect occasion. The Jordan River Temple in Utah is always a beautiful sight and with the nice weather and fun group of people there couldn’t have been a more lovely day for a wedding. I always love spending a special day with such a wonderful couple as Talia & Brady – so here’s to them! Congrats again to the two of you! Talia & Brady from Elsa Jensen on...

Jessica is the best. Seriously. I love taking senior pictures because I get to know all of these fun seniors so much better and I always end up having a really fun time with them. I’ve known Jessica for a long time and she has grown up to be a beautiful and awesome girl! We had a good time finding fun spots in all of the green that Utah has blooming right now. She’ll be graduating from Lone Peak High School this month and I know she will do great in her next stage of life! Congrats and good luck to Jessica!...

This is my cousin Evie, and she is the cutest. I was so happy to take pictures of someone in my family for their graduation – we had quite the adventure down and around Salt Lake City, Utah, but it definitely made for some really great pictures! Evie is graduating from Bountiful High School with an awesome four years of cheerleading under her belt. I think she’s going to have a great time off at college – congrats...

This was the most beautiful and stunning wedding. The colors, the flowers, the people, the dress – they all were so perfectly lovely! I loved being a part of the day and be able to practice more video with their wedding – its definitely a lot different than photography, but each are so much fun to be able to do while at a wonderful day in someone’s life. Many thanks and a second congrats to Landon and Caroline! Landon & Caroline from Elsa Jensen on...

Here I go again, gushing about Flora + Fern and these floral arrangements. After having spent the weekend in Utah arranging wedding bouquets, Jacelyn decided to slow it down and creates a beautiful table arrangement. She is such a wonderful florist with so many types of arrangements and flowers and create such unique and stunning pieces with the most beautiful flowers – I mean look at those hydrangeas and ranunculas! I am a sucker for pretty flowers. Give Jacelyn a shout out if you need a wedding florist or flowers for any occasion or give her website a look! http://floraandfern.com/ ...

I’m still on board with senior pictures – they’re always fun! Parker is a stud – if you can’t already tell. And he’s graduating from high school here in Utah and heading out on a mission, so senior pictures were definitely due. While Parker attested to hating getting his picture taken, I honestly don’t believe him – he did a great job and really let his personality show. He’ll be a great missionary – good luck...

It’s the one year anniversary for this couple and their wedding is still one of the most beautiful I’ve been to! The season and flowers at temple square for their Salt Lake City temple wedding were so beautiful and a perfect addition to Summer and Jon’s happy and cheerful new start to their new life together. Summer and Jon are such a great fit for each other – they really bring out the happiness and best in each other and that was one of my favorite things about photographing them – it was so easy to capture such beautiful and earnest photos of them and their love and personalities together. It was so much fun to become friends with them through this happy time in their life. Congratulations on your first year of marriage, Summer and...

I love this time of year – nothing pairs better together than the new spring landscape with all of the senior pictures that start popping up for graduations. I love taking senior pictures – it always reminds me of how I felt when I was graduating high school and getting ready to start college. Seeing their plans and excitement is the best. Brennen was not short of any passion or excitement about high school. Brennen will graduate from Alta High School this year and loves to skate, was a Student Body Officer, and will be serving a mission in Texas. I had a great time taking his senior and mission pictures and sharing in his excitement for his graduation and mission. Good luck Brennen! ...

It’s all green and gorgeous over here – but really. Spring has sprung and there was no better way to bask in the beauty than with a photoshoot with this beautiful couple in the greenhouse. It was only the perfect spot for photos of this flower loving friend of mine and her husband, especially since it had just been stocked full of new beautiful blooms and buds. I love taking their pictures – they’re so sweet and kind to each other and it makes each photo...

My dearest friend Jacelyn Bolton, has real talent. I’ve always thought that she has such a good eye for styling and overall direction of creative beauty ventures – want an outfit for the day? She can whip it out. Need help arranging your living and decorating it? She’ll show you exactly what looks good where and even throw in some ideas. Personally, I’ve always thought that she should be and could be a creative director for businesses, photo shoots, or events. So when she told me that she wanted to study floral design and start a business, I knew it was going to be a beautiful thing. All of her experience and her eye for styling and weddings really sets her up there with floral designs and bouquets. I absolutely loved collaborating with her for a launch photoshoot for her new business, Flora + Fern – trust me people, you’re going to want to see the rest of these beautiful creations and her website, so keep an eye out! For now, here is the lovely Cortney Bramlette modeling a wonderful whimsical...
