Manti, Utah Bed and Breakfast

I stayed at a little Bed and Breakfast in Manti, Utah last weekend. It was so cute I found myself taking pictures of everything. In fact, the whole town was terribly cute. I declare Manti the cutest Utah town; never seen one better. Our Bed and Breakfast was called the Yardley Inn. There are actually a surprising amount of sweet little B&B's in the area. The Yardley Inn house, I was told, is over a hundred years old.

We stayed in the English Ivy room. Which I loved. When I was a girl my mother decorated my room just the same. (Well, similar anyways.)

The purpose of driving up to Manti was to see the Mormon Miracle Pageant. Which was wonderful. And in the morning we visited the beautiful LDS temple and the perfect little cemetery next to it.

Zion Slot Canyon

Last weekend I went camping in Zion with my family and some friends. We did a shoot in this slot canyon called Pine Creek. We gave our model, Ashley (my muse), a sort of 1920's inspired look.

 I love mixing the glamour of a bride with the gritty beauty of nature.

I think this one is my favorite from the whole shoot. I love how her eyes are so piercing.

 

As Ashley is a violinist how could we not bring some violins along and incorporate that into the shoot.

Fellow Photographer Portraits

Photographer's need portraits too. And taking your own portraits can proof challenging. So photographs usually get another photographer who's work they admire and take each other's portraits. Thus I did with my photographer friend, Lorraine Lee. These are the portraits I shot of her earlier this week. Isn't she the cutest?! I think these really show off her personality. And I can't wait to see the pictures Lorraine did of me!
