More from Kendra's Concert...

Isn't this girl gorgeous? And just looking at her, you can almost see what I know about her. She is sweet, humble, loving, fun, kind, talented, dedicated, healthy, spiritual, selfless, and giving. I just adore this girl! I was so lucky to get to go to her concert in Utah last month. Thanks to my amazing husband for letting me sneak away for a long weekend, and to Mimi for helping with the kids a bit while I was gallivanting. Insanely fun times!

You've never seen fingers fly as fast as hers across those keys!

If you haven't heard of these guys, you need to. They are awesome. They gave me a signed copy of their CD while I was there, and I'm in love with it. Their music is super fun, and they are such nice guys! Claire's new favorite tunes to dance to are theirs! So fun. Click here to hear some of their music on MySpace.

{ Mr. David Osmond }
A very cool guy who has been friends with Kendra since Elementary or Junior High. He's got an amazing voice, and I love how he talks about his wife and new baby. He's very kind too. Bonus.

{ Mindy Gledhill }
A beautiful, sweet, friendly gal who has made a name for herself. I saw her in concert here in Mesa at a Benefit for Nie-Nie. She is very cute to watch. She's quirky and fun, and I love her music.

Oh, the talent. She's so fun to watch!

Some of the band. Big names in the biz, but I don't remember them. Sorry guys.

Here's a VERY big name in the biz.

{ David Archuleta }
Oh, how I love David Archuleta. I'm a big fan. I'm so lucky to have been able to hang out with him a bit. He's adorable. He's so nice too. Actually, he's pretty amazing beyond even his voice and piano skills. He's got a personality and spirit that you don't see or meet everyday. He is only half human, the other half is angel. :o)

He did a surprise performance with Kendra at her concert. It was beautiful. She has been playing keyboards for him on his tours this year.

Have you seen a cuter wave goodbye at the end of a concert? Adorable.

Her stylist, Leisa. We affectionately call her Hair Mom. She's awesome. I'm lucky to know her.

I am in love with this little doll. I mean really! Can you handle those lips!?! She is gorgeous, and the homemade quilt in the background her grandma made makes these pictures even that much sweeter! Great job Aunt Nell!

Hope you like them Anne!

Concert Photography - Kendra Lowe

I had the fun privilege of shooting an amazing concert for a good friend, Kendra Lowe at her concert last week in Provo, Utah! It was so fun to be up there for the weekend with her. It was a hecka busy trip, and I didn't see much of anyone while I was there, but I had SO MUCH FUN! Even if Kendra kept me up until 2, 2:30 and 4 AM on the three nights I was there. :o) I loved every minute of it!

I just have to give a shout out to my camera and the photog class I took that taught me a ton! I wish I would have had that knowledge when I had the media pass at David Archuleta's concert back in March! That one was a disgrace! Actually, I didn't have the D300 then, or the 1.4 lens, so I have to credit my new spoils along with my new knowledge. It was tough shooting in concert lighting, but I had a great time, explored my camera's capabilities, and came out with some awesome pictures.

I love how you can just barely see Kendra's amazing shoes in this one. :o)
