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!

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:

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:)
