Short Bio:
I love photographing people, telling stories with my images and offering beautiful artwork and exceptional service to my clients! My business has grown and changed so much in the past 5 years. When things quickly switched from hoping to have work to being buried in work I realized how much I prefer to limit my weddings and sessions in order to offer a high level of customer service. I learned how important it was to understand owning a business as much as I understand and love photography (or else I wouldn’t have one very long!) Over the past year and a half, with the help of a business coach and my assistant/graphic designer Kristi Webb, I’ve completed tons of projects aimed at improving Angel Gray Photography. I opened my studio in the Spring of 2010 and really enjoy having that space. I had the privilege this year of being chosen by ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition to shoot one of their families who were given a new home in a neighboring town to mine and that was fun! Most recently I’m on the verge of releasing a brand new multimedia service to families called “The Legacy Project” and I’m incredibly excited because the idea grew out of my personal experience.
My husband and I have three beautiful children ages 3, 6 and 8 and I’m super honored to be featured here in the midst of so many awesome photographers --huge thanks!

Growing up, once I realized I wanted to take photos, I had to learn how film worked. When the digital world emerged, I couldn't have been more excited. I couldn't run out of film and I could immediately view the photos I had taken. When I was in high school, I was introduced to a little program called Photoshop. I couldn't believe the endless possiblities Photoshop had to offer. It was then that being a photographer as a career crossed my mind and it became more than just a hobby.
I have always been obsessed with taking photos. I have also always been obsessed with weddings. So what better than to become a wedding and portrait photographer. In 2010, Amber Shaw Photography was established. I was recently voted Best Photographer in the Best of Utah Valley 2011. I plan to be a household name when it comes to wedding and fashion photography.
My style is modern but traditional. Cutting edge but vintage. Chic but daring. I'm obsessed with creating unique photographs. Whatever your personal style and personality, I can capture it.

Bio:
My first dabbling in the creative arts was probably the mud pies I perfected while growing up in the small farm town of Deweyville, Utah. Middle school started my love affair with music, where weekly lessons led me to love and conquer the flute, plus experiment with piano, tenor saxophone & vocal performance. Bear River High English classes uncovered a natural writing talent & landed me as yearbook editor. For the first time I noticed photography but it couldn’t sway me from my written love affair or my high school boyfriend Jordan (who I now call husband).
I entered the University of Utah knowing exactly what I wanted, majoring in Mass Communication. I thrived in the college setting and found a new surprise past time, Latin ballroom dance. I continued assembling a written portfolio I hoped would land me with a major magazine. Meanwhile, missing Jordan, I headed to Moscow Russia to teach English and to get a taste of the country Jordan was serving an LDS mission in. With a new digital camera in tote, I wet my appetite for photography, with Europe providing every subject I could imagine. I returned home, finished my obsession with straight A’s graduating summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree. Ten days later I married Jordan. The next week I started work as a writing intern at Utah Bride & Groom Magazine. I fell in love with the wedding industry, but found myself completely jealous of their staff photographer.
My internship ended and off to New Haven, Connecticut we went. It was there that I decided photography was more than an interest, but an amazing career opportunity for me. I built a portrait portfolio, and then just when weddings began to enter my world, Jordan finished his bachelor degree at Yale University and decided a PhD in biomedical engineering at my alma mater was our future. So we packed up our family, which now included Ella, and moved back to Salt Lake. No surprise, once in Utah, my wedding photography career took off. Once again I found my work published in Utah Bride& Groom Magazine, but this time for photography. Jordan is still busy with school and we’ve now added Hazel to our family lineup, but somehow I feel like I’ve found a needed balance between my life as “mom” and “Elizabeth Taylor Frandsen” this year. We’ll see how long that lasts

Showing people my own vision of life gives me a great satisfaction. I love to capture moments in people’s lives to give them memories that last!

Short Bio
I am an Italy based photographer interested in portraiture, fine art and –quite consequently- fashion photography. I still don’t know why I bought my first Reflex Camera a few years ago, but I'm glad I did. From that point onwards, photography became
not just a great passion and a job, but also the main focus of my life.
Much of my work reflects a strong connection with dance. That is obviously present in stage performing shoots, but also it is possible to find a trace of it in my personal artwork, because I have studied ballet from the age of 7 and have continued to do so throughout my life. Photographing dance and dancers is challenging(just a few are able to catch the right thing at the right moment), but I find that it comes naturally and pleasurably to me. Actually, I really started taking photos only after an accident that prevented me from dancing for a while. For this very reason, I made my first serious attempts to portray some of my friends while they were performing and –not so much later- also when they weren’t(developing an aptitude for more creative artistic portraits).
In addition to ballet and to my personal artwork, I gain pleasure and have extensive experience photographing all aspects of the performing arts, including film stills, drama and music. I think this came from my confidence with both stage and artists as I am still dancing and sometimes I also go on stage.

Short Bio:
It's always intrigued me how one's childhood can affect their life's path so deeply and my story is no different. Growing up all over the world I developed a love of culture and people's differences. I loved to observe and take pictures in my mind of the beauty I was presented with. I was also raised in a very conservative home where we weren't allowed to watch any movie that was rated higher than PG, so my sister and I developed a love for old movies and musicals... I have my parents to thank for my fascination with Old Hollywood Glamour and all things vintage. I like to think that I was a lover of vintage before it was cool to be one. I decorated my room with antique store finds and old painted tea cups... A voracious reader I also loved to paint pictures in my head of the heroines from my favorite Jane Austen & Elizabeth George Speare novels.
In my art, I like to capture the most beautiful things about a person. I want to capture them the way their loved ones see them... maybe even the way they see themselves at their best. I am lucky enough to have married my best friend, so I know what love can be and it makes my heart warm to see this love all around me in the couples I get to photograph.

I began photography in November 2007 following a breakup. I was working in a mine at a desert and decided that it could be a fun hobby to start photographing stars. That's how it all began. I never had a passion for photography but I've always been a dreamer and it definitely shows in my work! By simply investing months into personal and creative shooting, I've finally reached the stage where people now hire me to get that unique image that has become my signature.

I was born and raised in Utah and as I child I was always wondering off looking for new ways of seeing the world around me. My parents encouraged my adventurous personality by engaging me in my surroundings and bringing me to various destinations through the country. During school I had developed a much more in depth understanding of the importance of photography and art in general. My first photography teacher had shown me the true meaning of capturing, documenting and sharing the art of photography. While often being a heavy critic on my own work I still strive to find perfection in all of my photographs. I was published in "The Freefall Review" A quarterly magazine based out of California that encouraged the starving artists from around the country to share their passions with the world. I currently am studying photo journalism in an effort to be placed in situations that allows me to shed light on controversial issues and events.
While I still reside in Salt Lake City I am often on the road looking for those unique photographs of the way life moves around us. I am in the process of working on my first book that will highlight businesses throughout my travels. The book is scheduled to be released within the next 2-4 years as I continue capturing various people and events.

I haven’t always been a “photographer”, in the traditional sense of the word. But what’s the definition of a “photographer” anyway? For years, in my case, it was driving friends and family crazy while I tried to snap away at them. Truthfully though, my love for photography came full circle when my first child was born. With every picture I took of him, I saw his silliness, energy, and spirit shine through, memories brought to life with my lens that I will treasure forever. That’s when this unorthodox plan to start my business first started to take hold; I wanted to provide others with that same close-to-the-heart experience. So what was I doing BEFORE photography became my my obsession? A few things, really. I spent 11 years in the corporate world working at a Fortune 50 company, a tiny startup, and a mid-sized nationwide company – hence, my extreme dedication to customer service and smooth operations. At some point in there, I put my other hobby, graphic design, to work and started freelancing. Freelancing is what put my business goals on the map and helped me determine how to work with clients with creative visions. As it turns out, advanced graphic design experience, especially with Photoshop, really lends itself well to professional photography. When my second child was born, I took the huge leap from hobbyist to professional and left my day job to focus full time on creating a successful business and a career that I loved. I feel so very fortunate to be excited to go to work every day. Photo sessions are not work for me…they are play time. I meet a gorgeous set of blue eyes, or a pair of rosy, chubby cheeks and I can’t wait to photograph them. I love meeting new people and giving back to my community. As I continue to challenge my own creativity and business savvy, I look forward to my business continuing to grow.

Hey Hey hey!! I’m Charlotte -or Char as my bff's call me! I am a 40 year old stay at home mom to Sam (11) and Wes (9). Although I am a full-time photographer - I am also a full time cook, housekeeper, teacher, nurse, chauffeur, counselor.... you know the rest!! I love my boys... all of them, including my dear husband of 13 years, Scott. I love our family vacations, the color pink, investigative news shows, anything with barbecue sauce on it, chocolate chip cookies and my Yellow Box flip-flops! And yep... I do have a love for photography. I finished high school in 1987 at the age of 16 and went straight off to college. I have a degree in Marketing, which has really helped my business grow. I believe "less is best" and to keep my business honest! I started this business out of a desire to just get better photos of my first born son. I knew what I wanted, but no one else seemed to. Word spread that I was interested in making this hobby a business and it took of from there!! I have never advertised nor do I set up booths at local shows. I am strictly word of mouth. I believe your reputation is the only thing you need. If you do not take care of your clients... someone else will. I think honesty is the best policy - so if I make a mistake- I deal with it head-on. I believe in keeping your business legal and yes, paying your taxes. I love, love, love meeting people - so photography is THE best way to make new friends. I specialize in Newborns through their first year, High School Seniors and Weddings. I know I cannot be everything to everybody - so specializing in these three areas was the only way to be successful. I am constantly soaking up information, information, information. A good seminar is so worth the investment - And I love meeting up with my photog friends!
That's pretty much me!! Thanks for reading!

So hello I am 21 years old, soon to be 22 in the next month of July. Right at this moment in time, I am currently traveling around Australia. I left Britain, the end of October 2010, so nearly 9 months and I must say I have had the time of my life and don't want it to end,but hey it has to end sometime. Sadly, my time here is drawing to a close, I have a month left and am still in progress of working out what I want to do with it. I have seen a lot of the country (mostly east coast) and have to say Melbourne stole my heart, the atmosphere, the people.. Just the whole feel of the city devoured me of all sins I truly love it and wish I could relocate there. I am thinking I want to go back there in a few weeks or so to stay with some brilliant friends I made while there from 5 months of being there.
Basically, I love travelling and seeing every different culture and surrounding. I have been to many places but my travelling experience really starts here. We have to start somewhere right? and from being here, I know what I want to do with my life. Be around people in different countries around the world with my camera by my side with not a care in the world, waiting for another adventure to come skipping around the corner.
My love for photography and all things wonderful came around when I was about 14 or 15,when I truly started to realise that Photography was a massive passion and I wanted to pursue my career in this field. I am a massive art fan. Anything arty, I appreciate, whether its illustration, painting, sketching, drawing, sculpture, Film, Music... Life...... The world is my ever growing dreamland, I dream in art and the way my brain see's things.
What really drive's my life though, are gods creations= human life. Human beings. They are my main passion. Portraiture is my favourite`.. I enjoy being around all types of different people. I find human life fascinating
I am planning to get my a little tattoo 'Redefine your Reality' = Me... that's how I think. Nothing is impossible. The brain is an inspiring place to be I'm a daydreamer.
I adore music, music takes me into my own little world. Anything is possible when i'm listening to music, whether it's from my ipod or live on a stage.
I adore dogs. Monty, my black lab back in Scotland is the most beautiful dog you will ever lay eyes on. Hes a wonder.
I adore my whole family. They are the best family a human being could ask for,really, you only know this much of it. They have done so much for me and for that, I am intensely grateful.
I adore turtles, they make me happy. I keep dreaming of my flying on one (please don't ask me why)
I adore owls, they are beautiful eerie creatures.
I adore natural light, I always encourage the use of natural light, I love lens flares.
Angel rays ( when the light flares down from the clouds, almost like a magical creature or being is standing beneath waiting to be found) ,
I love my cheese, every kind
Making people happy, hugs, laughing.
You get the gist. I just hope this all shows in my work. It's people like you that keep me going. Seeing the joy and appreciation in peoples eyes when I show them my shots is by far the best feeling in the world. I can never help but shed a tear seeing their faces and receiving the warm greeting of a hug from them.

Short Bio -
My name is Ashlee, I have full time desk job, I am a wife, and I have a 2 year old lab that has more energy then any 2 year old child I've ever met!
I've been taking pictures for as long as I can remember! I got my first SLR camera in 7th grade and fell in love with it {i still own it and shoot with it from time to time} there is something about film that you will never be able to replace with digital.My favorite part about photography is being able to capture things from my point of view and show people that there is beauty in every thing around us.I shot my first wedding in 2006 but didn't go into business until 2009. My goal as a photographer is to shoot from my heart and make every client feel comfortable and beautiful! I love getting to know my clients on a personal level so that I can create images and memories who they are, and not who I think they should be.
I love being a wedding photographer! Spending one of the most important days with my clients and capturing their love for each other is one of the most amazing things to me! I love getting caught up in the moment and being able to capture those moments in images that will be cherished forever.
