Superheroes and a Whole Lot o' Color


I started out this past weekend totally bummed because the weather messed up a shoot on Friday that I was over the moon excited for and it looked like Saturday was going to be iffy as well. I woke up Saturday and headed for Spanish Fork hoping for the best and was rewarded for my optimism by a smiling universe that proceeded to grant me a truly spectacular day.

First stop the Utah Festival of Colors. I have been wanting to go to this for ages but have never made it before. It is absolutely delightful. My friend Josh and I made it for the 1 p.m. color throwing. I decided to stay up on the balcony because I wanted a shot from above of the colors being thrown in the air. I only took my little point and shoot camera. This year was for scouting, I'll probably take my back-up DSLR next year. If you haven't been you need to go. It is so much fun!
p.s. wear old clothes :)

Josh's head was a total chalk magnet. People loved throwing color at him, it was hysterical.
As we were walking back to the car we kept getting the funniest looks, it took a bit to realize everyone was staring at his head.

Next up was the ProvoCreative Superhero shoot. It was cloudy and cold but oh so fun. Here are just a couple of my favorite shots from the day.

I love hangin' out with fellow photogs. It's so fun to have days like this where you just shoot to play and get the creative juices flowing.





By the time I got home I was so exhausted I could barely move but it was that fantastic good kind of tired. Such a great day!! :)

  1. I've been meaning to ask you about your color profile pic I saw on fb. This looks like an amazing activity - I've never heard of it but would kill to go, how fun. Love the superhero shots as well. The laughing bomb guy is my favorite!!!

    You are an amazing photographer! I love looking at your blog. I am still in awe of Alex and Christophers wedding pictures. In fact, I am Christophers Mom and am in need of your e-mail address so I can place an order.
    Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us!
