Short Bio - Word from the Photographer
I snapped my first photo with my mother's old manual Canon SLR at the tender young age of 9, and from the moment I saw the resulting print of a tree swallow frozen in flight, I was hooked. I'm a Montana-based photographer who still marvels at the way photos help us to slow down life's hectic ways and view the world in a new and interesting light. I truly delight in meeting and visiting the great variety of people and places this world has to offer us, and am honored to help document it. There's nothing quite as wonderful as being a photographer - it really gives you access to the most incredible people and, for me, makes this life pretty darn fantastic.
Word from the Author
I've particularly enjoyed looking through Kristine's work. She's a wonderful photographer and has a large portfolio with some unique work. I've chosen to highlight her Photojournalism work to mix things up here on the blog, but she does wedding work as well. Enjoy!

Short Bio:
"Being passionate about photography is in my nature. I have always had a fascination with art and imagery. As a teen, I would spend my money on magazines, and every square inch of my room was covered like wallpaper with ads that provoked specific emotions. I see passion, drama, truth and beauty in every moment. I cannot help but translate that into my work. As a photographer, my goal is to create stunning photos. I find a sense of fulfillment in this art that I don't find anywhere else. All of my passions (like music and my family) influence and affect my photographs. I am a hopeless romantic with a flare for style and glamour. I'm relaxed and fun, and I tend to babble if I'm excited or nervous
A Word From Jarvie
I didn't do the Highlighting post on Brooke but I wanted to say a couple words.
I was introduced to Brooke's photography through a couple of good friends.
Seems like I've had a lot of interns and friends in love with her work.
I find it funny that I feel important because I actually know her, they think I'm cooler because I do.
Truth is I only met her once at my birthday party. But I'll take what I can get.
Meet The Photographer Event
Recently I came up with this rocking idea to highlight well known photographers in a fun and friendly fashion.
Since a lot of people know about her and yet a lot of people don't actually know her personally, we should do an event that solves this.
We'll meet up and start a new Meet the Photographer event
She'll be the first photographer: This Monday 7pm
So if you'd like to meet Brooke in person and know more about her and her photography make your way on over to Lehi, Utah on Monday.

I wrote about it here on my blog: http://www.kristenweaverblog.com/fashion/remedy-magazine-london/ and they have also used much of what I wrote on their Testimonials page on their website: http://www.remedymag.co.uk/ (click Testimonies)
- Starting the Photography Non-Profit fund raising event, Images for a Cure, in October 2009. From The Breast Cancer Research Foundation's website: "Photographer, Kristen Weaver, wished to make her ideal a reality--to positively affect change in the world. She decided to make this happen with an inspiring fundraiser that would include her fellow photographers joining together to raise funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. And so, Images for the Cure was born. Initially, the goal set by Kristen for Images For A Cure was to raise $5,000. By the end of the registration period for photographers, Kristen reviewed the statistics and realized that she would more than double her goal--239 Images for a Cure photographers, from 44 states and from 3 countries had signed up! And when the big day was over, all Kristen's efforts were rewarded with an astonishing $12,750 raised for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation!"

Short Bio - Word from the Photographer
If you ask some of my fans, I'm a wedding photographer based out of Orlando, FL. If you ask others, I'm an internationally published fashion photographer. Somewhere in the middle, you may hear that I'm a philanthropist, mentor, friend and sister. I wear a lot of hats, but my heart is in photography. I love fashion (I always say, 'those who can't, take pictures of those who can!') and I love romance. I'm a sucker for cool details and amazing designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Lanvin, Alexander McQueen and Christian Lacroix. I also have a not-so-subtle obsession for Jimmy Choo and Louboutin. Combining some serious fashion with a beautiful romance is just about as perfect a wedding day as I could imagine!

Short Bio - Word from the Photographer:
I am a big dork. I like to make faces and weird noises at random times. I am pretty up front and open and those who know me can pretty much tell you that if you ask me something, I will tell you the truth. I have no shame and tend to blog personal things that many may not have even thought of knowing...but this is who I am. I can be random, I like..no LOVE ice cream and will take it any day of the week in any weather. I love photographing people because it allows me to see inside their lives for a little bit and really makes me appreciate the love and spirit for life even more. I consider myself really lucky and really blessed.

About the Photographer
William Packard is a photographer who's always had the talent and just recently decided to bless others by sharing. His style is amazing, sophisticated yet can take on an edge. He values the opportunities he has in sharing such momentous occasions with what was once a total stranger but now an everlasting friend. When you ask him his favorite part of his business it's meeting all kinds and new and fabulous people. He loves what he does and it shows in his work. To watch him in action is amazing, you can actually see the wheels turn. And he's not against climbing like a monkey, getting soaking wet, or rolling on the floor to get that "perfect" shot!
