Grape and Cherry

Jocelyn and her friend Sammy love to be girls, mostly by giggling over nothing without a care in the world besides who wants what flavor.
I'm always amazed how easy it is as a parent to just ignore the sillyness and concentrate on the more important things in life such as dishes and messes. As I was sitting there enjoying my Grape Popcicle I suddenly heard their moment of childhood and decided to capture it for them.
I can only hope that they will look back someday and appreciate the memory. For us adults, maybe we can go back in time and remember our childhood sillyness.

This is a portrait of myself that I really like. Thank you Mike Olson from Newman Photography.

Mommy, can I go to bed now?

United Way teams up with Nordstrom

Nordstrom has a brand new look at the Fashion Place Mall here in Salt Lake City. They will opening their doors Friday morning March 6th at 10 am. I will be there covering the event and showcasing their new digs.
On Tuesday the 3rd, Nordstrom teamed up with United Way and the Women's Philanthropic Network. Over 1100 eager shoppers donated in advance and were treated to food, drink, and a sneak peak at Nordstoms latest store.
Runway models from LA were flown in to show off some key clothing lines and were a great hit for the attendees. There was something so "real" about it all...
You had to be there to know what I mean.
See you there tomorrow.

Delta Airlines at The Grand America

Delta Airlines, KLM and Air France hosted a fabulous meeting at The Grand America Hotel last month. The event was held February 9-12th with 800 sales reps from 5 continents in attendance.
Two destination management companies, Dynami from Atlanta and Destination VIP from Park City coordinated the whole event with flawless expertise. Thanks you guys for a great event!

Arches I hadn't noticed

Sometimes you have to stop in mid conversation and go get the camera. "Wait I'll be right back. I must shoot this right now!"

Friends Once a Year

My daughter Jocelyn and her once a year best friend Stephanie are always hesitant at first. Just give them about 30 seconds and they are giggling and running around the house like they lived next door to each other. Our friends Ted and Linda visit Utah in the early Spring every year to catch up on the fabulous snow that only Utah has to offer (Okay I've never skied any where else so no offense to Wyoming and Colorado).
My inspiration is always light first, subject second and background third. However sometimes it's background first or even subject first. As an artist I spend my time being inspired by my surroundings and then capturing it for others to see.
What can you make of your surroundings? Chase the light always...unless of course you have something better to do!
