Mini Websites

Introducing...

Mini Websites!!

I am now offering these fun sites to all of my clients who book an engagement session with me. Includes your favorite images from the session, a section to include your "love" story of how you met or how he proposed, a guestbook, an RSVP section for your guests, a way to share your event details and accommodations all in one place. Plus, you get to customize the look and colors of the website yourself! Such a great way to share your wedding plans with your friends and family. Click here to view an example.

The cherry blossoms should be arriving soon, so contact me to get your spring session scheduled!

Isn't she beautiful?

My husband's aunt has a foreign exchange student staying with her from Japan. She sat across from me at our Easter brunch and I could not stop admiring her gorgeous face. After we finished eating... I pulled her aside and said, "I need to take your picture!" And I'm so glad I did! Wow!

Herem Family

OK people this is a huge accomplishment for me. Blogging has been the last thing on my mind lately but I know I'm well overdue for a post. So sorry to all of you that follow this blog and have come up sorely disappointed everyday for the last MONTH! Yeah, it's been a month! That is bad... I'm sorry!

This is my new friend Jen and her adorable little family. She's a fellow photographer herself. And she is absolutely fabulous at what she does. We had a great time talking photography and getting to know each other better... and we were FREEZING!! April... you are not being good to us!

This next shot was kind of a joke but totally reminds me of how things tend to go in our family. I'm running around town, taking pictures, editing and trying to run a business and there's always my sweet husband right there taking care of the kids and holding things down at home. It's so great we have these guys to help out and make things A LOT easier!

Then we started a little couples session... downtown Salt Lake City.

She kept telling me she didn't know how to pose... I didn't believe it. She rocked everything!

The End.

Where in the world???

I know, I know, I know... it's been a long time, hasn't it? And I'm sorry to say that it's not even going to be a full post tonight. Let's just say that WPPI really made me think about the way I was doing things... so I've been focusing a lot of my attention on the business aspects of photography. And, quite frankly, I'm not a business woman but apparently I signed up to be when I started this whole roller coaster ride. It was so great to go to WPPI and gain a new perspective on things. I was completely inspired and overwhelmed the entire time. It's definitely a lot to take in. But I think the goal really for anyone who attends is to take what ever you can with you and make it work the way it suits you. Wow! It was really mind-blowing at times! I am soooooo happy I had the opportunity to go... so happy! And, man, there is a lot of amazing talent out there. Makes you feel kinda like a "small fry." But, hey, they all started somewhere, right? So here's to hoping for future success and happiness... and possibly some blog posts with more than one picture?

Just a little taste of my weekend...

Out of the office that is... tomorrow I will be off to Las Vegas to experience a photographer's heaven at WPPI. I'm lucky enough that I get to spend the week with eight other lovely and talented girls and we are going to PAR-TAY!! Wish me luck!

GOOD BYE!! See you when I get back!

Good Friends

This is one of my best friends and her extremely adorable family. I posted the black & white couples session we did but somehow never got around to posting the family. Let's just say this winter is a time for catching up... and that I am doing!

I could not believe her kids in this shot. Like perfect little angels... even big brother has his arm around his little sister. So cute!

He was pretty much done taking pictures and, of course, little sister is right there to console him. She is such a sweetie... one of my favorite personalities.

And my two beautiful friends... I'll just leave it at that. :)
