Just Sharing the Love..
We have a handful of gift certificates left over from Christmas. They are for a full 1-2 hour session, including a disk with all edits. We don't include disks anymore for portrait sessions so we very well can't sell the certificates....
what should we do with them?
Hmmmm...

Happy Valentines Day!
It's the goofball brothers!
Yep. We'll admit it. They're ours. I was playing around with backdrops and lighting yesterday and needed models. Do you know how many gumballs I had to give them just to get them to sit on the stool in their pajamas? ALOT.
This is Jared. He is such a silly little guy. He has this new shifty eye look he gives us that cracks us up every time.
And this is Ashton. He learns from the best.
We love these little goofs so much. Don't know how we'd live without 'em.
So, we're experimenting with the world of studio photography using natural light. What do you think so far?
Spoiling everything...
Ok so this isn't the new blog of course, but I couldn't sleep and started changing some things around on here. I couldn't wait!! I didn't want to show the new logo until I released the new blog but it was killing me!!! What do you think of the new logo? I actually put a lot of time and thought into this one, I wanted one that I really really like so that I can keep it for a very long time. I have had over 12 logos in the past 14 months and I decided that I need to find something and stick with it. I had some help from my friend Miss Mint of Peppermint Creative, who allowed me to use one of her designs in my logo. Really cool.
So hopefully within the next week I will get done what I really have been needing to get done so that I can finally call my new blog FINISHED. It really is done, I just have to add one more thing that is taking me forever to accomplish. Anyways, looks like I rambling..so goodnight all!!
Jessica & Mick Engaged!
Mick and Jessica. Jessica & Mick. Messica. Scratch that.
I just found out on Jessica's blog that she is a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
She is so gorgeous.
So I have to laugh because in the beginning of the session I tell my clients not to pose and to interact with each other and then later on I pose them if I need to. Mick was so confused. He was like "So you DO want us to pose??" I'm pretty sure he thought I was crazy. It's ok. I am.
He's a really GREAT poser though. Haha!
I love the next two photos. I told Jess to drag him along, but he was following all too willingly. Zero resistance. Come on men, can you blame him?
We went to some really swanky locations for the session. I am being sarcastic. It was muddy, I think I made Jess sit on broken glass at one point, and we came across a couple of abandoned shopping carts.
Sometimes you just have to get dirty to get the good photos.
You guys did such a great job and are so easy to work with. We are so excited to work with you on announcements and at your wedding!! Happy planning!
p.s. Mick, Dave is just now realizing he was calling you NICK the entire session. He's sorry :)
What's shakin' Bacon?
I've been so disconnected from this blog!! I have been so caught up working on sessions and the business side of things, I kinda just throw some pics up and I haven't been very personal. I promise I will be better about letting my oddities shine through!!
As many of you know, my husband Dave has been assisting me at most sessions and weddings lately. I am so excited that he has decided to be my official partner and second shooter at weddings and assistant at most sessions when he can, which is great because he lends a great hand and offers such a fresh perspective. He is such a fast learner and picks up on things so easily. Alot of times he steals the camera from me and makes AMAZING off the wall images and steals my clients hearts away. I am quickly learning to just step back and trust his instincts because the images he takes never fail to impress me.
Dave and I are making some BIG changes to the business, a completely fresh look and a lot of much needed equipment upgrades. We are going all out.
Prepare to be amazed!
Prepare to be amazed!

Day 12
You know what I love about this picture? It makes me warm and reminds me that spring is only a few months away and that there are so many fun adventures in store!
Day 8
I'm a little late getting this started, I was planning on starting this on the first, but better late than never, I always say. Actually, that's a lie, I rarely ever say that! Anyways I am doing a little project mostly for my own amusement, I will be taking and posting a picture a day for a year. Because as they say, "A picture a day keeps the frowny away!" Really, I just made that up. Here's day 8. We'll just pretend that I already did days 1-7. Enjoy:)
Day 8:
Frost
Two pictures because I couldn't decide which one:)
A New Year's Eve Wedding..Steve and Patti
I like to get to know my clients before their wedding day. I believe that to truly capture the emotion of such a milestone in a two people's lives, you really need to feel it yourself. I was asked to do this wedding about a week prior to the big day. So, I typed Patti's name into Google hoping to find a blog or something similar. I was not prepared for what I found. I think I spent about 3 hours pouring over post after post with tears streaming down my face. Patti's husband died of cancer about 2 years ago. I have never met a woman with so much faith. She is amazing to be around and fills every room she enters with life and laughter. Patti and her family have been through so much in the past and I felt so honored to take part in this event in their lives.
Patti and Steve chose to be married on New Year's Eve.
The Northhampton House in American Fork was decorated so beautifully for the season.
Congratulations to you both, I am so excited for your new life together and wish you both the best. It was truly such an honor.
And here's the dance video that Dave took with his phone. I apologize for the poor quality. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of my blog and pause the playlist:)
