Pure Beauty

Isn't she just amazingly beautiful? Last night we had a really fun photography get together at my studio and "M" came to get some senior shots. She was so natural and easy to work with. I will have to beg her to let me photograph her again. She was such a great sport too, there were 5 of us crowded around her and watching her the whole time. She also has amazing taste in clothing. She brought a huge suitcase, so we had a good time! I only have a minute to post, but I love this shot, I think it is my favorite. I will post some more for sure later. I will be out of town this weekend in St. George, so other previews will have to wait until Monday. I couldn't decide if I liked in better in black and white or color.

More later,,.

a few more

I always post a few pics a few days after the photo shoot, but when I actally sit down and photoshop all of them I always fall in love with different ones. He is just so expressive and cute, so I had to post a few more.

5x5 trifold

I love this new template I bought from pinkinkstudios.com
It is meant to be a birth announcement, but I think it would work for Christmas or Engagment as well. Just had to play with it of course!

A boy and his.....

Calculator?? Yep, that is a calculator in his hands. One of the first things he said to me was, "What number are you?" Meaning, how old are you? So cute, eh?

I was so honored to take pictures of these adorable little guys for Wynona, who is an amazing photographer! I hope I captured what she wanted. It was pretty cold out and these boys still managed to have a good time. The younger one was so sweet, I could just see into his little soul. My little guy Tate also had a cleft lip when he was born. I always think how it will and does affect him. No matter what we love them with all of our hearts. That is the pure beauty of children.

Thanks Wynona for letting me photograph your family. See you soon!

These two again

I know, I know, there are so many pics of these two recently on my blog, but I just can't help it. They are so photogenic! I am post processing their family pics right now and needed a break so I had to post this one of them. Thanks for looking.

a little bit of me

For all you blog readers that like to put a name to a face... this is me and my wonderful family. My husband is away this weekend and it always makes me realize that when he is away I always miss him so much. I have been thinking lately that I am very lucky to do what I love, every day. I love to be with my family and I love photography. These two things take up most of my life, this has been my choice and I am glad to say that it was a good one. My good friend Jess took these pics within about 10 minutes and I am so happy she did because I will cherish there, especially the ones of my and my other half. Thanks Jess. I usually am the giver of photographs, so it is nice to be on the recieving end and be so excited to have pictures of my family. There are some other ones that I love too. We dragged my cute green fainting couch downtown and got some pics on it as well.

family

This family was so fun to photograph. First of all it was all adults, so that was a nice change. Second, they all have such fun personalities. You might recognize a couple of people in there. I did Nat and Russ's pics a few weeks ago downtown.

these boys...

melted my heart. i love the bond they have...

Holiday Mini Sessions

I am scheduling holiday mini sessions for Saturday, November 17th at my studio downtown Salt Lake. Each session would be about 30 minutes focusing on family sessions for Christmas cards. I know it is stressful to get a family photo and send out your Christmas cards, hopefully this will make it easier.

There will be 6 sessions available from 11am-3pm.
Cost: $150
What you will recieve: 30 minute session with your family, 25-5x7 Christmas cards using one of my templates I have to offer, an online gallery with 10-15 proofed photos to choose from for your card. You will also have the option of ordering prints as well seperately.

Quick, Easy, Fun.. My idea of a good time.

Please email me at simplicityphotography@yahoo.com if you are interested or call me at 801.787.4432.

Schedule your session today before it is too late!

more...

I was proofing more of these today and had to post a few that I looked over..

boys

I generally have sessions with girls, so I was so excited to have 2 boys at this urban session. They were so fun and a little older so they were more willing than little subjects! The younger one was really shy at first and didn't seem like he was going to let me take one picture, but as soon as I started telling him what to do he was on it! I love how every session is so different. These brothers have such a bond, they were so sweet! Thanks boys!

Urban senior sessions

When I say senior, I mean high school senior. Don't want there to be too much confusion here. Anyways, these 3 were so fun to photograph, it was quick, easy and fun- 3 words that don't come out of a photographers mouth that often.
I also want to thank everyone who comes and visits my blog, all the compliments really mean so much, thank you!
I have been posting everday lately! I think I will take a few days off and maybe clean my house or something, or maybe not...

Gardner Village

You might recognize the oldest in this post from a previous post, isn't she just beautiful? These kids were so adorable. Gardners Village was a fun place to have a session, and in honor of Halloween I had to post this one of little "H" in his dragon costume. I will have to post some more later, the kids are waking from their nap.

Cute Couple

This happy couple has been married for 3.5 years, I did their wedding photos and it seemed like yesturday. So, here is a sneak peek for you. I loved how they were up for anything, and Russ really behaved himself! My husband would never do this, well unless there was a good bribe.

Oh how I love Seniors...

I had to post these images from today, I always walk by this door downtown but have never actually taken a picture in front of it. It is officially my new favorite place. You can't see it in the picture but there bed lying in the corner and crazy birds flying in and out of the broken down building next to it. You might say it is a disaster, I say it is an adventure...
With the black and white one, there was this amazing light that was just illuminating her face.

I will post more from this session later and a fun couples shoot from today as well.

Gallery Wrap Canvas..

Here are some examples of high quality gallery wrap canvases that I now offer my clients. I recently ordered 3 for my studio and I have to tell you that it is really hard to go back to regular prints when you have these beautiful high quality pieces of art to compare it to. I am very visual, so I thought this might help my clients.
