Paige as a river nymph, a creek selkie, a prom queen, a flowergirl, and my friend

1.  I can't get enough of this face.
2. Paige is a rockstar. LOOK AT HER.
3. She doesn't get how unique her beauty is. I'm considering making an education of this for her. I'll write an encyclopedia.
4. She needs to let me take her photo more often.

A little more R and R, aka. Rachel Radebaugh

Can we just acknowledge how great my pal Rachel is?

She has two little crazies to take care of (awesome crazies, only love only, I promise), and still manages to look like a sexy French chocolatier who the entire village is secretly in love with, men AND woman alike? I mean, come on... I am pretty sure its how she stylishly tucks in her shirt, but that could just be me and a thinly veiled inside joke. She is one of my absolute favorite new friends, because she was immediately found out to be the sister to my soul and the rebel leader of my fantasy street gang.

I miss you, Lady R. Come back to the beach soon. Bring everyone.

"BUY ME A BATMAN SHIRT" or "3/4 The Radebaugh family'

I try not to play favorites, but who am I kidding, Rachel Radebaugh is my favorite. Plus her littles are adorbs, so I guess I'll adopt the whole family (even dad, though he had to work during our shoot). Forgive me for shortening adorable arbitrarily, but HAVE YOU SEEN THESE KIDS? 

They are pretty darn cute.

Amen and amen.

(Thank you for hanging out with me, Ms Thang. I love your family, but mostly because you are all photogenic. JK I love you for a billion other reasons. Thank you for the opportunity to take photos of your family!)

Kathryn Cartwright, Dancer. Part 2

Part TWO of my photoshoot with my good dancer friend Kathryn C.

(Miss you, girl.)

Getting her Rockabilly on.

Her effects. The things that make Kathryn Kathryn .

Don't forget the other side. More things that make Kathryn Kathryn .

 The shadows were having such a party this time of day.

A welcome change from all the jumping and spinning of the day.

  Kathryn loves life. She does.

Despite the curveballs life throws at her. I always found her laughing, talking, and overall enjoying what she was doing (even if it was teasing or being teased, gossiping, complaining (prettily) or wrapping her toes up after a long exhausting day of working the dance floor).

I really hope I somehow manage to catch a glimpse of her lovable happy essence through these photos.

Photoshoot: Kathryn Cartwright, Dancer. Part 1

This is Kathryn C.

I think Kathryn is the cat's pajamas.

The Bee's knees.

I've practically raised her from a pup.

Nooooooot really, but I have known her a very long while.

We met at a Repertory Dance Theater Summer Intensive, in SLC, UT... way back in the day...

She was a highschool student, and I was in the midst of my under-grad dance career.

I reconnect with her at the University of Utah Modern Dance Department.

I was a fresh-faced Grad student, and she was a world-wise Sophomore.

This meant that we got to graduate together... THE VERY BEST great wonderful long-time-coming day.

I am going to miss her, as she jet sets off the the BIG APPLE to pursue her dance career.

EVERYBODY - Wish my girl some luck and send her off in style.

Break some legs, take some names, and MERDE, Lady K.

 P.S. Thank you for letting photograph you

and your awesome dances moves.

You are a good friend and a beautiful dancer!

  P.P.S. Prepare yourselves for Kathryn's Dance Photoshoot Part 2...

I just have to finish editing them!

(Kathryn was photographed at the Salt Lake City Library, in SLC, UT)
