PHOTOGRAPHER | PODCASTER | CREATOR | LEHI, UTAH
I didn’t do a lot of shooting in 2023 because my teenage boys occupied so much of my time. As they get into their later high school years, I find myself with less time than I used to have for photography. Still, 2023 was my best year yet–my photography grew a lot. 2024 has also started unbelievably and I can’t wait to see my photography grow even more–both as an art and as a business. I thank you all for visiting my site. Please feel free to look around.
Miranda
Marisa introduced me to Miranda, and Miranda introduced me to perfect poses and brilliant attitude. If you ever to a shoot with me, bring looks like this.
Marisa C
Catsuits! That is all.
Rylee R
You might have noticed how I shoot with Rylee every year. The reason: this. Plus she’s gracious, creative, and intelligent. You can’t ask for a better collaborator!
Shift Dance Company
I think this is my fourth, or maybe fifth, shoot with Shift. This is definitely the best I’ve ever done for them. They returned the favor by giving me their most electric poses.
Marisa C
Marisa recently gave up her national crown. I can’t think of a better reason to do a glam photoshoot than the culmination of a year of queendom.
Mark B
Sometimes your wife convinces you to do a grad portrait shoot with your sun. She didn’t have to convince very hard.
Odyssey Dance Theater
When ODT calls you and tells you they’re going to start up again and asks you to do their shots, you say yes. Check my Dance page to see the whole gallery.
Mya T
This is the first time that I got to shoow with Mya in a creative shoot. She should shoot creative shoots more often because…
Zoe R
Zoe put together one of my favorite shoots, bringing multiple brilliant dancers together and then showing up all day with poses like this. Can we do it again?
Brooklyn W
Brooklyn is one of the finest young dancers I know. Example: this pose, which is just about perfect as a celebration of dance photography.
Brookie G
Brookie is one of the finest dancers I know. Equal parts strength and beauty–this shoot was destined to be one of the best. And I can’t believe how many great, distinct shots we got. There’s a reason Brookie has been in front of my lens a few times.
Brynn B
This was the first time I shot with Brynn. There’s a reason she’s a national champion dancer with the BYU Cougarettes–she’s got all the moves.
Brooklyn W
Brooklyn has all the poses–strength, flexibility, athleticism, creativity. Easiest shoot ever.
Malia T
Malia nailed all her shots and we got great stuff! I can’t wait to see what this one can do as she gets older.
Mya T
I’ve had the pleasure of shooting with Mya at product shoots, but this is the first time she came for a creative shoot. I’m not sorry about it–Mya is unbelievable. I particularly like these photos with jeans.
Remy F
Remy is a tiny powerhouse. The spunky intensity is what gets me.
Zoe R
Zoe is one of the finest young dancers I know. She’e equal parts, power, artistry, and style. I really like the way Zoe puts her poses together–all I have to do is add light!
Rory F
Rory is a dancer beyond her years. She really came with a vision and we got a great shoot with a crisp, cohesive style–all with a pop of color. This is one to watch.
Maddie D
Maddie is one of those people who make the shoot as fun as it is creative. Not only did she come with an entire wardrobe full of creative and colorful clothes—look at those shoes!—she combined them in the best ways. If only every shoot good go this well with everyone, then it wouldn’t feel like work at all.
Torrance P
I told Torrance that I wanted to do a collaboration one day. One day happened, and she was a dream collaborator. Dance shots are even better when the dancer is unbelieveable in every way. The shots speak for themselves; Torrance nailed every pose.
Brookelyn J
Brookelyn is absolutely charming, combining effortless poses and everyday style. This summer shoot in full color stands out as a favorite.
Penelope S
Jane and Penelope came together. Sisters, powerhouse, colorful. These two were a blast to shoot.
Jane S
Jane and Penelope came together. Sisters, powerhouse, colorful. These two were a blast to shoot.
Sofia S
I had heard of Sofia, but I had never met her. She’s an incredible dancer and ballerina. She also had unbelievable portraits. Head to my “Portraits” page to see those.
Zoe R
You might not know it from the pictures, but Zoe came in to help with one of my younger clients–Brooklyn W from back in the day. It was good to have Zoe in front of the camera this time instead of off screen. And what a set of poses! brilliant.
Marisa C
Marisa has had an unbelievable year. She’s walked at NYFW, won a national pageant, and has become a world class model. Every pose is perfect, and the pictures show it. For this session, her hair was done by Allie Berry, makeup by Chelsea Aneal, and styling by Natalie Clark. You can find each of these people by checking the people I’m following on Instagram.
Hailey B
When I posted Hailey on my Instagram, her fanbase–and I didn’t even know she had a fanbase–descended on my gallery and spiked all of my numbers temporarily. Hailey herself is unbelievable, and fun, and down to earth, etc. Her fanbase is crazy–the good kind.
Madee K
It turns out that Madee goes to school with my boys. She seems way more mature than them.
Emersyn D
This photo really sums up this shoot. The pose is a standout, the look on her face is brilliant, and I got the light exactly how I wanted it. This has to go up there among my best.
Jaylynn L
I had a hard time deciding whether I should post a dance photo or a portrait for Jaylynn. Both were equally amazing. Ultimately I decided on the portrait, since I have so many other dance photos on this welcome page. Head to the Dance page to catch more of her dance photos. Unbelievable.
Kenady V
Both times I’ve shot with Kenady now, she has been among my top shoots ever. She has a superb line for ballet, and she’s a lot of fun also! makes for a great time shooting.
Annie O
I had never met Annie before this day, but I’ll shoot with her anytime. Unbelievable dancer, unbelievable talent. And this soft light is perfect to make her stand out.
Maddy W
Maddy was my first Dance shoot back when she was just 14, and she’s turned into an amazing woman. Maddy just got married, and you can tell she’s glowing.
Kamri P
Kamri comes with a huge base of loyal fans and a whole lot of attitude–the good kind of attitude. In these photos you can see the intensity she brings. It makes the shoot easy for sure.
Tiara K
When Tiara calls, you better be ready to shoot. Here’s the proof.
Alyssa F
Alayne is always a great shoot. Though I can never decide whether we should go with dance or fashion. It’s equally tempting to do either one, but this time it was dance/fitness.
Aria C
Audrey Hepburn is a huge inspiration for me. Aria asked if we could do a Hepburn inspired shoot and obviously I said yes. And she did not disappoint. This outfit is just one of the amazing looks she put together.
Alyssa F
Alyssa is a long time collaborator. She visits Utah about once a year and we always find a way to mix in some iconic Utah locations and get some ridiculously flawless photos. The Utah State Capitol building is our latest.
Stella C
Stella is a powerhouse–we’ll be watching her closely as she gets older to see where she goes. I don’t think it’s too far of a stretch to say she’s going to be a star one day. No pressure.
Julia D
I was shooting with Julia and a large group of dancers and she was doing things that made ALL of them exclaim in awe: “wow!”, “holy…!”, “my gosh!” and stuff like that. 18 months later and I got to shoot with Julia again thanks to her mom winning my black friday giveaway of a free shoot. Now that the shoot has happened, I’m super pleased with the result! Check the “Dance” page to see the whole gallery.
Sofia Marie T
Sofia Marie is a new favorite collaborator. Holy cow, what a dancer! and these photos ended up great!
Natalie T
This shoot took a long time to put together. Timing was not on our side. But it was well worth the wait. I mean…wow!
Kaylee W
This shoot was next level. Kaylee sure knows how to pick a gown.
U of U Sr. Dancers
The U of U seniors are about to graduate and move into the professional realm. Luckily I’ve gotten to shoot with them for the last two years. I don’t get to shoot with male dancers often, so I’ve chosen Ben from this group to represent the shoot. I don’t think you’ll mind.
Miss Utah’s Teen Jaylynn L
This is my favorite dance photo to date. There’s a little fashion, a little color, and a lot of Jaylynn. It’s one of my best.
Utah Tech University Blaze Dance Team.
Like the last couple of posts, it’s hard to choose just one. Mia is a great choice, but with 20 top dancers, it could have easily been any of the others.
Ayzjiahna W
How do you choose just one photo to post? You just have to close your eyes and choose. Ayzjiahna had dozens of great photos–too many to process.
Shift Dance Company
Go to my Dance page and look for the gallery from Shift Dance Co. These dozen dancers blew me away in our shoot. Choosing which one to post is hard. I choose Mackenzie, simply for the difficulty of this movement. She earned this photo with each bruise.
Marisa C
I mentioned that Marisa won the national pageant, so she gets a crown of seashells. Here she is is unbelievable light.
Ivy B
She’s adorable, and she’s a great dancer. Here’s Ivy upside down.
Adri B
Hands down, Adri is one of the best dancers I have worked with. Not that she’s a better dancer–I get to work with a lot of great ones–it’s that she’s absolutely perfect in planning and executing poses for photos. Like this one.
Miss Utah Sarah S
This year’s edition of Miss Utah is an absolute peach of a person. I usually only post one photo on this welcome page, but Sarah isn’t a one-photo kind of girl. Here’s three in red, white, and blue:
Taylah T
Macrame minidresses and a chance to shoot with Taylah? Count me in.
Nyaweka B
This shoot was short. It was also fantastic. I definitely hope to shoot with her again soon!
Clara
Clara’s a little powerhouse. She could have easily chosen gymnastics or any other sport. She chose dance. No one’s complaining.
Rylee
Rylee has become a regular contributor here. It’s easy to see why.
Alex D
We didn’t mean to shoot outdoors, it kind-of just happened. Backlighting for the win!
Kynslee
Spending time upside down always gives me headaches. Kynslee made it look easy.
Maycie
This pose speaks for itself. Maycie is unbelievable
Paisley P
Paisley flew in all the way from New York to shoot with me. And she absolutely crushed it.
Ashlyn T
Unbelievably, Ashlyn is still in high school. Her poses and control are next level.
Sicily R
This shoot came together well. I found some transparent plastic with lines painted on it. Naturally it makes sense to shine some light through it at one of my amazing dancers. This time, Sicily crushed it. You can see more from this iconic shoot on the Mar 18, 2023 entry in the Dance page.
Chelsey C
Chelsey has always been a great shoot. Great fashion, great posing. Now she’s on a mission for her church and I’ll have to work with other collaborators for a while.
Marisa C
Marisa came into 2023 like a hurricane. It started with a call, “Hey Greg, I’m going to be competing in the Miss Bikini USA competition as Miss Bikini Utah. Would you like to be my photographer for crowns and gowns?” Obviously I said yes. And then she won. Like literally she is serving as Miss Bikini USA Model 2023. Always a blast to be around, she just keeps growing as a model. I’m lucky I get to see her early in her career because pretty soon she will be worldwide. Yes I said it.
Kaylin S
This shoot was about a year in the making. The plan was to use household objects as items of clothing. It morphed into this–using a shallow bowl (about 18 inches) to have Kaylin sit in. This is the result. You need to see the rest of the gallery, check my Dance page.
Jocelyn O
Been working on my portrait game and I think I’m satisfied with this series with Jocelyn. Can’t beat a person who knows her worth!
