The Hart Family

Meet Dave and Lisa Hart and their three boys. They live in a great house hidden in the Provo hills. Dave works for BYU. Lisa has great stories from her days at Victoria's Secret. The boys were excited to go to the zoo. You may recognize a few of these faces from here.

Labor Day Winners!

That's right, you read correctly, "winners" because my sister convinced me that people love to win and that I should pick two winners. So, congratulations #14 (Suzie and Nathan Balser) and #49 (Erin Axson) you two have won a free sitting! Contact me at mattclaytonphotography@gmail dot com and we'll get something set up.
Thanks to all of you that entered.

Kyle Beckerman

How cool is Kyle Beckerman? So cool that he's willing to spend an evening with my writer and I (on his own time), detour to pick up an official ball before meeting us, get dressed in everything that I've brought for him and do whatever I tell him (without a single question), change in a parking garage, risk impending sprinklers and hang out long after we've finished. That's how cool Mr. Beckerman is. I was so impressed with how cool and easy Kyle was to work with. So much so that I'm going to use the word 'cool' again, because he was just that cool. Cool?

These were taken at the Xango practice field in Lehi. My body fed about 20 mosquitoes that night.

Me: Kyle this is the first time I've ever tied a bow tie.

Kyle: This is the first time I've ever worn a bow tie.

"Big Kid" - shoot revisited

In commemoration of Square Magazine's third birthday this week, here are a few shots from one of my favorite Square Magazine cover shoots. These were taken over a year ago for "The Big Kid Issue."
I wanted a Doris Day/Rock Hudson type of couple for the cover, so I was stoked when we found Dan and Natalie. Both of which, were found through Facebook and still remain two of my most favorite "models" that I've ever photographed for one of Square's covers.
