Photo Booth

2009-06-03T12:59:00.000-07:00

I always get a kick out of photo booth pictures and love to see the expressions that people make as I am just shooting away. Love these from Chaleh's session. Chaleh is so cute, so funny and was so fun to work with. She was really up for anything and we had a great session because of it.

New Design Blog

2009-05-30T14:17:00.000-07:00

I have been busily working on quite a few different design projects lately which has been fabulous. And because of that, my new design blog has come about. I offer custom card designs, announcement, blog designs and more. On the new blog you can view all of my custom card designs as well as other recently completed designs. With the exception of my annual Christmas cards, I will be posting all of my design work there.

Be sure to check out the graduation announcement that I just completed from Zach's senior session.

My photography has taken off as well and while I have many sessions to post (and hopefully we get the time in the next few weeks) because of that, my session fee will be increasing at the end of June. I will make a post shortly with all of the details.

Custom Designs

2008-10-30T15:36:00.000-07:00

I love making custom designs that match your pictures from your family session! This is one that I recently made for a client and good friend of mine. I am in love with it and I think she is too.

I am seriously loving the purple and gray. Love it!

Just in case you are wondering (because I know you are): Custom designs are $25 plus the cost of the prints which are $1.50 and available in sets of 25 (25, 50, 75, etc.).

Christmas Cards

2008-10-28T14:51:00.000-07:00

The holidays are creeping up on us. I can't believe November is just about here. Now is the time to order your Christmas Cards. This year's cards will all be 5x7 cards, two-sided, and printed on pearl paper (shimmery but not super shiny). Cards can be ordered in sets of 25 (25, 50, 75, etc.). Cards are $2.00 each which is $50.00/set and include envelopes. Here are the card templates available and remember that custom designs are always available as well. Card backs will be coming shortly.

My poor little blog has definitely been neglected. Believe me, it isn't because I have forgotten about it. There are so many things coming. For my website, this blog, my proofing site and my business. They are all just slow in coming.

Along with all of that, I have been shooting away. I have tons of sessions to post when I get a spare minute. They are all so much fun. So, hang in there with me. I will be back in the full swing of things before you know it.

While I am here, the holidays are right around the corner and now is the perfect time to book your family session and order Christmas cards. I have some fabulous card designs I will be posting soon. The fall leaves are in full force but they will be gone soon so call and book your session today! 801 . 860 . 6979

And of course I have to thank Kim for getting me going on this photography road. It is something that I have always loved and considered and she gave me the start that I needed to just jump in and do it. She is a wonderful mentor and has taught me so much. She is seriously the best and you will still see us working together sometimes. Love ya lady!

Hunt for Snow

2007-12-07T10:24:00.000-08:00

We were hoping to find snow on this session and make a snowman but there wasn't a bit of snow to be found. We still had a great time and just had a lot of fun.

Christmas in the Fall

2007-10-26T14:51:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun on this Christmas session. The fall leaves were amazing and the canyon was definitely filled with crisp fall air.

Raindrops Are Falling

2007-10-26T00:17:00.000-07:00

You would never know from the pictures that it was pouring rain through this entire session. Pouring. Not just drizzling. Pouring. We got in and out of the car capturing some great shots when we thought the rain had died down a bit. Such troopers! The rain definitely brought some great color to the pictures.

Kaopua-Bowlden Wedding

2007-10-16T00:39:00.000-07:00

Ceremony: Tuscany----Luau Reception: Private Residence

This was one of my very first weddings that I was able to shoot with my good friend, Kim. It was so much fun and the luau afterwards was fabulous.

Back 2 School

2007-10-11T00:07:00.000-07:00

Back to school sessions are seriously one of my favorites. I love that kids this age are up for anything. They love to goof around and they really get into it. It is so much fun. I would shoot these girls every day if I could. They are fantastic and so easy to work with. They made these back to school sessions a breeze.

School Sessions

2007-09-22T00:03:00.000-07:00

We have been having so much fun doing School sessions that we wanted to offer them to everyone.

Back to School Sessions

$50 for the first child

($10 each additional child)

The session includes 30 minutes of photographer time as well as (2) 5x7 prints and (4) wallets. Additional prints or enlargements may be purchased through our online proofing site at a discounted rate.

Different schools? Not a problem. Just let us know at the time of booking.
Please note that there will be an additional $15 fee for the second location.

School sessions are a fun way to let your child remember that favorite outfit, those shoes they just HAD to have, their favorite playground/hangout spot, etc.

Tagged!

2007-08-26T22:26:00.000-07:00

OK. Kim and I have been tagged by Rebecca. Thanks Rebecca! Here goes nothing. . .

1) I try hard to please everyone and just want everyone to get along.

2) I am an anal perfectionist. It’s built in. I can’t help it. If I feel I can’t do it perfectly then well, I make myself crazy trying.

3) I come from a huge family (8 kids) and they mean the world to me. Craziness and all.

4) Both of my children are adopted. Both open adoptions. I love adoption and am very open about it if you ever want to ask.

5) Kim and I are like twins separated at birth. We are so alike it is scary yet we don’t make each other crazy either. She got all the good looks and well, I. . .I am just glad to have finally found her.

6) I get something in my head and just get stuck on it until I find it, do it, make it or figure it out.

7) I love to scrapbook and my love of photography came from just that. . .wanting and creating the perfect picture for a scrapbook page. Although I did take pictures for my high school newspaper but at the time I didn’t realize how much I love it.

8) I hate talking about myself and am very glad this is the last one. OK, seriously though, I have the best husband in the entire world who puts up with me and all of these crazy things. We’ve been married for 11 years and it is just fabulous if I do say so myself.

Kim took care of the tagging so I'll spare a few more people unless you are just dying to do it then just let me know! :-) (and yes, I overly use smilies and exclamation points. I can't help it!) :-)

What a cute little family this is. The dad was hanging in there even after being pooped on a few times. He's probably had his fair share of posing for a while :-) Thank you for letting me spend this time with your family. Enjoy!

Lady Too!

2007-08-14T14:16:00.000-07:00

Hopefully Kim loves these as much as I do. Of course, she is the easy one to photograph. I have so many other favorites too. It will be hard to choose for the website.

80 Wonderful Years - Details

2007-08-08T01:04:00.000-07:00

I am a sucker for details which you will come to find. Absolutely love them. After all, it's the details you put so much time into and the things that are captured trigger memories down the road that may otherwise be forgotten. The stories and the laughs that will be shared because of this newspaper picture, for example, are priceless. Never let it fade away.

Night Glow

2007-08-03T00:21:00.000-07:00

Driving home from a shoot the other night, I came across this steeple, all lit up. I don't know if I am usually completely oblivious driving that road (I've driven it a thousand times) or if it isn't normally lit up but it gave the entire street a soft glow that made the drive a bit nicer. I had to go back and snap a picture. This shot just jumped out at me.

Nothing to do with the post to come. Just thought I would share.
