Short Bio
Photography has been a beautiful journey for me. When I started booking weddings, it was because I needed something to support this expensive habit of buying cameras and lenses. But the more I did it, the more I enjoyed being there in the moment, seeing things in a way that no one else would. No wedding is the same, and each is an opportunity to push myself artistically. Also, I try to keep commercialization from creeping into my work. I believe that real art involves people and relationships, as well as a lot of time, heart, and hard work. It's a process of giving freely and receiving with open hands. It's always my hope that my images reflect those values.

Short Bio - Word from the Photographer
I’ve always loved art and creating, and many times over the years I’ve sat down with pencil and pad in hand to sketch something that inspired me, but just couldn't get it "just right". I had images in my mind, a world to explore and lives to highlight, but it wasn't until I picked up a camera when my first child was born that I found my voice. Photography, and in particular, photography of people, gives my thoughts and visions an outlet. It expresses my interest in the world in my own way, and hopefully inspires others to see life as I do for a moment. Photography strips away the world around us, all other senses are left behind and all that is left is the soul, ready and willing to shine. That alone makes it the most powerful medium I know. I hope my journey with the camera conveys the story I intend, that life is precious and these moments are gone in the blink of an eye. The photographs I’ve taken of my children are what I holds dearest to my heart.

He responded on twitter and I remember looking at his photography and being very impressed.
Since then I've told people to follow him on twitter and now he has a respectable following of other Utah photographers, which I find quite fun.
