Hamaker – Family Pictures

These guys. They work so hard.

Mom is a nurse working three jobs at times and does graveyard shifts. She’s working toward the job that gets you onto the life flight helicopter. She’s amazing and so, so smart.

Dad is a woodworker and incredibly talented. He makes works of art and also sells unique pieces of wood to buyers. You can find his beautiful pieces here. Sometimes he even moves 200 pound logs by himself. What?!

Did I mention that they work hard? And why? Well, because we die if we don’t work, but mostly it’s because they love their two little cutie girls so much. SO much!

Mom is also talented at making amazing photo prop scenes. The cute lemonade sign and all the props were put together by her. And you can tell, the girls had a blast with it.

Siena – Senior

Graduation is over and summer is here! But before we celebrate, I have to show this girl off. You know what she loves? Disneyland. She mentioned to me how much fun it would be to work there. Can’t you just see her as sleeping beauty? But even working custodial. That’d be cool too.

Her dream is Disney but for now she’ll be going to school in the fall at a college a few hours from home. I’m excited for her to be in the real world and learn first hand how hard it is to adult. Haha! All kidding aside, I know she will be an amazing adult. Good luck to you, beautiful girl! I wish you all the successes, loves and dream come trues there are.

Isaac – Senior

This little location out in Eagle Mountain is great. I wish it had more shade though. Sometimes I worry about the pictures being so bright because the sun shines directly on the back of somebody. But, just as we were about to shoot, the clouds moved in and made it the perfect lighting for us to get just the right amount of rim light on Isaac. Such a blessing.

Penny – Senior

That. Was. Fun!

Penny and I stopped at random places in Eagle Mountain and Lehi as we drove to the destination I had in mind, and we still had enough light to finish up just before the sun went down. The swing was our last destination and we almost forgot about it. I’m so glad we “hung a U-ie” and finished up there.

 

…and just for fun, I’ll throw this one in there. Oh, look! It’s me!

Weddings

I don’t advertise that I do weddings and have actually referred some weddings to other wedding photographers in my area before. But when Cathy asked me to be there for her wedding day, I couldn’t turn her down. She’s the sweetest lady.

The reason I usually don’t do weddings is, not because I can’t shoot them but because of fear. Here’s the story…

Let’s throw it back to August 20, 1999. It’s my wedding day. The photographer shot my whole wonderful day with a broken camera. This left me angry and sad for years. All I have now are some snapshots from relatives. Including this one. I think it’s my favorite.

It would have been nice to get those professional looking images but it just didn’t happen for me and I’m afraid that one day, I might be that photographer with the broken camera (or SD card or whatever) and all they get are snapshots from relatives. But when I’m asked to do a wedding, I know I can deliver the shots so that the couple can remember the details and, more importantly, the emotions from the day. It takes all that’s in me to just do it. When I’m there though, I love it!
