Our backpacking trip

We decided to hike to Four Lakes Basin in the Unita Mountains this weekend. A short backpacking trip for our three-day weekend. The weather was great, the mountains were beautiful, and Tobago was in heaven.
To make a long story short...we hiked 18 miles in two days, our packs were too heavy, and the mosquitos were biting!
I took my point and shoot along and this is what I saw...

Anything tastes good when your hungry and tired.

Xtreme Seminar 2

I am so excited about a retreat I have coming up in February. It's the Xtreme Seminar put on by the super talented Jessica Caire and Liana Lehman. When I talked to my husband about going he said yes as soon as her heard the locale...Cabo San Lucas baby! He will be surfing and I will be soaking up all that I can about the business and artistic side of wedding photography. I am so stoked to be attending and can't wait to meet fellow photographers and make new friends.

Dog Lake

One of our favorite areas to hike is Emigration Canyon. Last week we set out on a beautiful shaded 6 mile hike up to dog lake. Our ubermutt just learned how to swim...and she loves it! My husband, Sebastian, even joined in the fun.

Chubby

Besides my ubermutt 'Tobago', I own an uberchin...chinchilla that is. His name is Chubby. He's six and a half years old. I picked him out when he was a day old and took him home six weeks later.
Some chinchilla facts: they are rodents, they come from the Andes Mountains in South America, they have super soft hair (about 50 hairs per follicle), they take dust baths to keep all that hair oil free and soft, and they love raisens.

Meet my uberchin 'Chubby'.


Cute photo of pooch

I thought I'd post another photo of my ubermutt...after all I could never post too many photos of Tobago!
How cute is she!

Cathedral of the Madeleine

One of my favorite places to shoot in Salt Lake City is the Cathedral of the Madeleine. I hadn't been out to shoot in a while, so today I made a visit. The Cathedral reminds me of churches in Europe.
Check out all the details...
