Tea Party With a Puppy

I had such a fun tea party with this little cutie! She is such a sweet little girl and had a blast playing make believe with her friends. She didn't want to leave! Now you are all going to be jealous you didn't sign up for this mini session, but there is still time to sign up for some others!

Fun in The Sun

I wish we had a real beach here in Utah, I told my husband I was going to Lakeshore Beach and he just laughed and laughed. He said no one has ever called it that before and questioned my judgement. After viewing the results though, he told me that no one has ever made "Lakeshore Beach" look more beautiful! haha

Meet the Bennion family, the sweetest little family of 3 ever. It was a super hot, bright sunny day at the beach that day, but we had a lot of fun anyway. Baby Claire was a trooper, it was 90 degrees outside, and she stayed happy through most of our session!

Hometown

This is where Jeremy grew up, surrounded by beautiful mountains and fields. He went to help his family haul hay yesterday and I wanted to document some of it. Their land, and their town, is so beautiful. you would have to see it to believe it. Our friends call it the promised land, it is that breathtaking!

Jeremy's grandpa is driving the tractor, he's 91! Once a farmer, always a farmer! He reminds me a lot of my grandpa. We have a few treasured photographs of him on his tractor, and I wanted to give a similar treasure to the Nelson family. Happy early Father's Day!

Summer Breeze

My favorite shoot thus far, more from this lovely session soon.

Pictures for My Walls

I haven't taken some of my own advice about printing pictures and actually hanging them up! I always try and direct clients to purchase at least one large print to hang on their wall so they are sure to actually hang one up. Everyone wants digital files, and they are great to have. But most of us buy a disc, maybe do a blog post, and then forget about the pictures, never hanging any on the wall or printing any.

Take these for example - we had these done last July, one year ago people! I don't have a single image hanging on the walls! I printed a few wallets and 4x6's for family, but no large pictures for our walls. Well, I am printing them now, BIG! I'm replacing older pictures (ones without Nicole). Let's hope I can get another updated one on the wall before July of next year!!

Here are some CD tins I ordered a while back. If you buy digital files from your session you could get a pretty package too!

Longview Fiber Open House - Spanish Fork

Two weeks ago today, I had the pleasure of photographing a historic event! Longview Fiber, here in Spanish Fork, hosted an open house for its employees, the first one ever! It was a very successful event. They had safety kits for the kids and employees, face painting, balloons, factory tours, and a delicious lunch from Apple Spice Junction. They also had the fire department involved and kids could dress up as a fireman and climb in a firetruck and an ambulance. I can't wait to be a part of next year's open house! Thanks again for letting my family and I come be a part of your celebration!

Maggie & Lucy - Utah Dog Photographer

I had so much fun photographing my four- legged friends! Meet Maggie and Lucy, the most adorable dogs I know.  It's been a long time since I've photographed animals, but I still enjoy it. Fact: Years ago when I first started my business, I wanted to open a chain of pet studios, kind of like Kiddie Kandids for pets. Well, I changed my mind when I did a bunch of surveys to customers at PetSmart to see IF and HOW MUCH people would pay for pictures of their animal family members. Let's just say that I can't afford to work for $2 an hour! haha

But if anyone else out there wants to do a pet session with me, let me know, I can arrange that! : )

Happy Mothers Day!

The phrase "working mother" is redundant.  

~Jane Sellman

If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been.  

~Robert Brault

[A] mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.  

~Emily Dickinson

Soon to be Miss Rodeo Utah

Meet Lacey, a very talented and charismatic young lady. She is the sweetest girl and will be competing in the Miss Rodeo Utah competition soon; she came to me for a great headshot for the photo competition. These 2 images were her favorites, but we went with photo 2. If she doesn't win then I will have to question the sanity of the judges! Wish her luck and leave her some encouragement here!
