Life gave me lemons...

Over the past few months I have been mulling over some very important decisions i've been needing to make. This last week I finally came a solid conclusion, a conclusion that is incredibly hard for me to publicly share. 

So here we go. As of December 31st, 2011, Captured By Dash Photography will no longer be an active part of my everyday life. I have decided to dissolve my business. I plan to still do weddings and portraits on occasion, however I will no longer be actively advertising/selling my work. 

Photography is an incredible passion for me and always will be. Life has changed for me in a lot of ways in the last year, with where I am at with my schooling and career plans I know this is the best decision for me and my family at this time. 

Thank you to every couple, family and client that has allowed me to capture special moments in your lives.

I have such a love for photography and fall weather, that when I am able to combine the two with good friends I get all sorts of excited. I love doing photos for friends and had such a great morning with this family and their adorable daughter.

I had a great opportunity to do a family shoot with a co-worker of mine. Here are just a couple of my favorites from the shoot. 

Tyler & Jill Wedding Day :: Utah Wedding Photographer

One of my favorite things about working with couples as a photographer is when I am able to work with them over several shoots. I was able to do Tyler and Jill's engagements, bridals, and wedding day. It fun in a way to be part of the process leading up to the wedding day and to be the one to capture the memories of that day. I really enjoyed this day with Tyler and Jill's family. It is the largest group of people I have had to work with and photograph. If I counted correctly there were 107 people at the temple to support these two on their special day. All of them were great to work with! Enjoy the many photos here.

The day before this session I got a call from an old friend of mine that I hadn't talked to for several years. Turned out her family was in desperate need of a photographer to get family photos done before some of the family left the state. I was glad I was available to capture these beautiful people on that fall afternoon.

I'm excited to get these posted finally. Enjoy!

Tyler & Jill Wedding Day Preview :: Utah Wedding Photographer

I'll admit that as the summer slipped away I expected things to slow down, allowing me more time to focus on school and relaxing. This fall has been one of my busiest ever. I have been able to work with some amazing families and just finished working with Tyler and Jill. This a quick preview of their beautiful wedding day. It was incredibly windy and a little chilly, but absolutely beautiful. I am working hard to get all these photos edited and to my clients. So keep coming back to see recent sessions posted.

Bell Canyon Creek, Utah

I was going through some old photos from an old hard drive and found this little gem. One of my favorite things to do is take a bunch of photos, put them in a folder and forget about them. That way when I go back to them i've got a fresh look at them and a slightly different eye. I came across this photo last night as I was looking through folders and folders of images. This hadn't seen photoshop and needed just a little color correction. Did some quick editing and here it is. This was taken June 2010 up Bell Canyon in Sandy.
