Goodbye, Blogger!

Well, I'm moving on. Or rather, my blog is moving to My Freckle: the blog. It will still contain my work and life in photos but hopefully be a little more comprehensive and updated a little more frequently :) Go check it out! I promise you'll like what you see. Thanks, guys.

Nate & Lisa Grad Photos

Nate is graduating from Viewmont High School, and Lisa is graduating from Weber State University. It was lots of fun taking photos of brother and sister! We did a quick shoot in downtown Bountiful, which I think worked out quite well. Congrats, you two :)

Project 365

At the beginning of the year 2010, my friend and I decided to start a blog called Project 365. It was hosted on his website, and we were each to add a photo for the day each day. No fingers pointed and no names mentioned, let's just say we weren't necessarily the best at keeping the blog updated ;) I thought it would be fun to post just a few of my Project 365 photos here in case you never saw them.

Meet the Maxfields

This was my second wedding, and it was especially fun because I got to see the couple through engagement photos, invitation design, and wedding photos. The ceremony took place at the Logan, UT LDS Temple; the reception was held at a ward building in Richmond.

Richard and Tristen are wonderful and make a darling couple! Please let me know what you think of the photos--I need all the help I can get :)

Adventures in Alaska

This post should have also been up about seven months ago. Perhaps there are some advantages to having let it slip past me... oh, the memories!

While visiting my sister Shannon and her husband Ryan in Alaska, their second daughter was born. In fact, Shannon went into labor the day after I arrived and McKenna Sue Moon was born on August 26, 2009.

Even amid the crazy times, we still got out quite a bit. We went to Eklutna Lake, saw the Lion King, visited the glaciers at Portage, went to the Wildlife Conservation Center, toured the Alaska Native Heritage Center, drove through Hatcher's Pass, and just had lots of fun.

Enjoy the photos! :)

Chicago Summer Jam: 7 months later

Many of you know of my experience with Chicago Summer Jam. I went with a group of amazing girls from BYU-Idaho to help out with a 2-week summer camp for girls from inner city Chicago. The girls ranged in age from 9 to 14, and they had surely seen and experienced things I may never experience in my lifetime. It was a chance to love and nurture; it was ultimately a chance to lead by example and help these girls understand that they are worth so much more than what the world tells them.

Through my experience at Summer Jam, I learned so much about myself and how all of us truly are sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father. I definitely learned to love on a whole new level. After all, I grew to love a group of 30 girls who were strangers only two weeks prior. I'm so blessed to have gotten to know my fellow counselors too--life long friends for sure!



I have so many great photos, but here are a few that have a more artistic spin, for the sake of this photo blog. I was so surprised when I realized I hadn't already posted photos from Summer Jam. Seven months later, the memories are still as real.
