busy busy

I have been insanely busy these last few weeks! I feel like I haven't even sat down long enough to take it all in... Anyways, I just finished another 2 day mentoring session and these models were so fun and cute and every picture we were editing we went on and on about the utter cuteness. I know mom's are looking on the blog to see, so enjoy!

Thanks Kellie for coming all the way out here to see me!

these two really love eachother...

Lovely couple

Yes, I said lovely. They are sticky sweet in love, couldn't be happier for them. Russ was beaming ear to ear when they got out of the temple. Congrats to you. I photographed her cousin a couple of months ago and got a similar shot at a different temple so I wanted to post it.

There's a new boutique in town ladies...

I had a photo shoot for the new boutique Tiara in Sugarhouse. This little lady is the owner's daughter, simply adorable and she had such a cute personality. I seriously cannot tell you how much I love photographing kids in amazing outfits, there really is nothing better to me. I think it's like playing dress up for me, I skipped that as a child... I liked dirt instead.

Tiara Boutique
1952 S. 1100 E.
Salt Lake City

Go check it out! My display will be up soon...
She has some amazing hand made clothing, which she designs and makes herself! One of a kind outfits...

Okay, I just have to add... so many people worry about putting different patterns together, look at how amazing and interesting these outfits are, some things that you may not think look good together do, think outside the box! or just visit Tiara and let Sylvia set up your outfit!

Isn't she a beauty?

We have a winner!!

Wow, that was fast!
Well ladies I was 13 when my dad gave me my first camera. I used to head on down to the train tracks and take pictures with my sisters or friends, good times:)

Youcandidmemories from Texas is the winner! Shoot me an email and I will get them to you, thanks!

fastest wedding shoot I have ever done.
Got there at 7pm, bride came out at 7:45...
groom missing for 15 minutes...?
Got group shots and some sisters photos...
Got 15 minutes of bride and groom...
Bride and Groom go back in the temple to change...
Family photos for 15 minutes, all the kids were SO done and it was past their bedtime...
Even though it was chaos, this family and bride and groom were extremely fun to work with.
I am really diggin' Ashley's shoes in this picture. Isn't the light beautiful? It was about 8:30 at this time.



Oh ya and about the workshop, I am still going back and forth for this October. I will announce very soon if I am doing it or not. Thank you for all your words of encouragement and emails! It really makes my day. I love blogging all because of you guys,,, well I think it's mostly gals.

Workshop?

Okay, so I am considering teaching a workshop in October... call me crazy I know. I have been getting tons of emails for my mentoring and cannot accommodate everyone. So, humor me and vote on this poll. It would be a 2 day workshop, downtown Salt Lake City. You must live at least 3 hours away to participate...
Thanks:)

Miss "R"

A few faves from tonights session...
Can you believe she's only 10?

Textured Canvas Templates- $25

Here are my new canvas templates! I think they would work great in three's, all lined up next to each other. All 3 are sized at 100ppi, 12x12 inches. They can easily be resized to 6x6, 8x8, or 10x10's. Great way to sell a pack of three canvases. Great for printing at simply canvas or WHCC. I recommend printing these on Metallic canvas Matte finish. They will look great!

I ordered a sample so I will post pictures soon!

Yet, another..

mentoring session is complete. I had the best time with an amazing mother/daughter pair from Tennessee. They were so cute and fun and we had the best time talking photography and life. It is really fun getting to know other photographers and relate to each other about the business and everyday life. Every time I finish a mentoring session I leave feeling so happy to meet new, amazing people and hope they went home with inspiration and knowledge. I will miss you two!






here are a few images by the great girls that took my mentoring session, aren't they fab?

Out of town...

Going river rafting this weekend, see you all on Monday, don't miss me too much:)

and you said they were hard to photograph...

This family was amazing to photograph, fun and open to anything. The parents were really worried about their kids saying they were really hard to photograph, but I loved them! Thanks Jeana for helping! If I had that family picture, I would have it huge in my home, I think I love it.

Children's Hour

I had a photo shoot with Children's Hour for their fall line and got to shoot this beauty. If you haven't made it in to Children's hour you need to go! She just opened up her fabulous new store, still on 9th and 9th, but it's now about 3 times the size.

yummy urban goodness...

I knew right after I took this photo it would be my favorite... is he not the cutest? I will post more really soon! Thanks to his awesome family for getting really dirty in this sweet location.

thanks Jess! not really...

So, I have to write 7 quirky things about myself... here goes.

1. I won't dress my twins alike, ever... okay so maybe on Halloween.
2. I still think I am a California girl even though I have lived in Utah now for 14 years.. oh man 14!
3. I can justify any shopping trip, for any reason.
4. I never thought I was obsessed with anything, thought I dabbled in everything until I started photography, it's a serious obsession...
5. My siblings think I am the weird one... little do they know I am the normal one and they are all weird.
6. I like to be in control, almost all the time. I am always freaking out about how Anthony drives, I have a hard time letting others control my fate!
7. I sing Feeling Groovy to Chloe at night when I put her to bed... she loves it, Tate not so much he starts flailing around like a dead fish.

That's it, do you know me better now?

So now this is the fun part, I am tagging Nikki, Carin, Tara, Christy, Rebekah, Jeana, and Kara

I will have a pack of 5 cards for Christmas, all trifolds and folded cards soon and then another set of 5x7 simple photo card templates as well. What do you think?

more...

we came home from our trip one day early to have a recoop day day before Anthony goes back to work. Our trip was great even though our car had issues and our kids were sick (what's new). The beach was cold but no biggie because our kids decided they didn't like the water this year anyway. It was great to just go camping on the beach, take naps in perfect temperature outside, catch frogs, and sit around a campfire with the ones I love.

So, now I am back and ready to get caught up, if you are waiting for images it will be really soon! Here is more of this family that I loved, they were so fun to work with. I love when I show up to a shoot and you just click and the family just enjoys each other instead of having crazy expectations out of there children. This allows children to just be themselves and not have parents upset. Thanks for just being yourselves.

I am pretty sure he was winking at me...

look who just turned 3~
