Laura + Nate | Flagstaff, AZ

Laura and Nate were married on a beautiful October day here in Flagstaff. It was a tad chillier than they had hoped but Forest Highlands has a fantastic backup location: the Meadow clubhouse and I have to tell you, I LOVED it. Beautiful chairs, cozy fireplace, windows everywhere and of course made a gorgeous 'aisle carpet' of flowers. Everyone stayed warm and it was really lovely. Nate won some serious brownie points by surprising Laura with a vacation planned for 2009 in Greece. If every groom could pull that rabbit out of a hat on the wedding day, you would be smiling like Laura.

Camille + Brian | Arizona Snowbowl | Flagstaff, AZ

Camille and Brian were so easy going and so in love. They planned a Flagstaff destination wedding from Phoenix. The day started out pretty cloudy and we weren't sure if mother nature was going to cooperate... but she did! Camille giggled with joy when the sunset turned out to be exactly as she had hoped. It was gorgeous. These two were off to Greece after their wedding and I was jealous!

Hart girls and link back!!

The first year we lived here I remember substitute teaching when these girls were in 7th and 8th grade. Goes to show you-- they grow up fast! These girls are triplets and all very different, as I think you can tell. Matt works with their Mom at his middle school. You look beautiful, girls!

HOW does anyone raise three babies? I have no idea. I have the ultimate respect for any woman who births more than one baby at a time (HA that is the easy part, try diapering three babies at once...)?

Hey, Seniors, please, use our images on your Facebook page, but GIVE US CREDIT with a real link (including the http:// part) Ex: copy and paste this... http://www.cameronclarkphotography.blogspot.com under the images.

On that note, ANY professional image you have taken, you always need permission to use the photograph ANYWHERE... so most of the time, we're fine with it unless you are selling something but shoot us an email and LINK BACK to us and we're happy :)

kay off my soapbox...

Jamelle Kelly

Meet Jamelle Kelly, my new business partner and amazing woman. Jamelle lives here in Flagstaff with her husband Jeff and their 5 year-old daughter Naomi. She put the Kelly in Cameron + Kelly Studios and I am so glad to have her on board. Here are a couple cute shots of Jamelle from our Oct. 19 wedding we shot at L'Auberge. The lovely, Karen Lynn in the background.

Yes, Jamelle shoots Nikon and I shoot Canon, but it works for us. Since I used to be a Nikon shooter, I fondly looked over her shoulder as she used her D3 for the first time this weekend. Can't wait to see those images at 24,000,000 ISO.

Drop Jamelle a little welcome, comment... she would love to hear from you! Meet her in person at our Studio Opening Nov. 13, 2008! It's coming up fast!

Jo + Austin | Forest Higlands

This was a lovely 3-hour event booked a few week in advance. If you are planning a small event that is in Northern Arizona and under 25 people that is less than 8 weeks away, you may qualify for our intimate pricing. Please contact the studio for more information.

This was a intimate family wedding in Forest Highlands. Sedona Cake Couture did their cake and I think the groom's mom pretty much took care of the rest! She was fabulous!

Brigit + Bret + a little gift in the Aspens

Brigit and Bret got married! BUT BUT BUT!! I wanted to shoot their wedding, as you can see, who wouldn't? We heard the whole story on the way up to this beautiful spot in the Aspens...

They got engaged and went to NYC for a function and on a whim decided to go ahead and tie the knot right then and there at a NYC courthouse. They went to the diamond district and POOF! Done. Married. Clearly, they were not dreaming of the fabulous wedding photos, like I was, but I gave them the gift of a photo session for their "wedding." Clearly getting married in a courthouse is THE way to really save $$$ on your event; however, if you do this, you should still hire someone (ahhHEM, me) to take some great shots becuase as you can see.. it's worth it. :)

We hiked 20 minutes into the woods for this particular Aspen grove and a favorite tree of Brigit's. I love how that pine is all alone in the middle of Aspens. This year, the Aspen leaves turned gold and 1 minute later they fell to the ground here in Flagstaff. We had two really cold and windy days and this was one of them. Brigit and Bret were great subjects... Thanks guys!

Kate + Norm are getting married!

Matt and I are delighted that my sister Kate is getting married to a great guy, Norm. We almost made "Norm for brother-in-law" t-shirts when we met him, but we didn't want to jinx the situation! They were VERY fun to photograph and we all had a good time making these images. They are a charming couple--both are Wildland firefighters--HotShots-- Norm on Mormon Lake crew and Kate on the Flagstaff Hotshots. Some photos are in order with the chainsaws but I thought we'd see how they clean up.

The planets aligned for us because Jamelle left a photo stand in the exact spot where we were finishing up some portraits and thank goodness we were able to get a little flash flavor(ah hem, the last four). Thanks Jamelle! I don't normally post 14 photos BUT hey, it's my sister, and I really like how these images turned out. I reinvented Flagstaff downtown and tried NOT to go to my usual spots. Kate has the most amazing blue eyes EVER. One tip for couples is to laugh a lot be yourself and HAVE FUN. I promise it will show through in the photos.

I didn't even PhotoShop these files. All images are straight out of Lightroom. I was too excited to mess around with PS.

*side note* I am experimenting with our branding and "striping" these photos with our logo. The whole logo blog thing...I'm on the fence. Comments?

Kiley Brown 4.5 months

I went back over to the Brown household and chatted it up with my friend, Tamara, you know---breastfeeding, sleeping, teething--fun mommy talk. Kiley sleeps 10 hours uninterrupted. No, I'm not kidding. 8PM-6AM and recently did 7:30PM-7:30AM. I'm hoping if Owen hangs out with her enough, it will rub off on him, cause I haven't seen more than 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep since March 1.

This was a quick photo shoot just for fun of Kiley at 4.5 months. She's pretty cute, eh? Love that laugh.

sneak peak: Camille & Brian | AZ Snowbowl |Flagstaff, AZ

Getting married at 8,000 feet has it's perks, this sunset view is one of them. It's probably one of the best views in all of Arizona. I am going to be working late nights for awhile to try and catch up on some wedding editing. All my technical probs are solved. So stay tuned for some serious blog posting. I'm challenging us to post daily.

Camille & Brian, you guys were awesome... your photos look great at first glance... FYI to all you photographers... this is literally STRAIGHT out of my Canon Mark II 1D. Yup! Solid gold light! Man, I love it out West.

Hess Family Shoot

Jamelle shot these too...
