Before I get onto that subject, I wanted to post a few of Jayde on her last day of school I am still not ok with her growing up, but I am very proud of her. She got a perfect report card and I know it is just kindergarten but I am still so proud. She is such a sweet girl. She always wants to help out and do her best. I couldn’t ask for a better daughter. Great job baby!! I love you.

I am a little behind on blogging. I shot Stacey and Troy’s wedding at the first of May. They were a referral from Dustin. Thank you Dustin! Stacey and Troy are such a fun and cute couple. Troy is so funny and was constantly doing things to make Stacey laugh. They are going to have such a great life together and I want to wish them the best of luck!!! Thanks for a great day guys! Enjoy…

Isn’t this time of year amazing!

Stacey’s uncle gave her a clock that he had carved himself and she was really emotional about it. It was so sweet.

Who knows why??? I surely don’t, but we are trying to get it fixed. My website and email (amanda@simplybeautifulphoto.com) are down. If you need to contact me, you can email me at amanda@amandaabelphoto.com or call me at 801.710.9646. I hope to have this problem fixed soon.

I have been tagged by Erin of Erin Langford Photography.

This is how the game works:
The rules are:
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged.

My husband and I shot Heather and Jay’s bridals last week down in Ogden at the Union Station and 25th Street (probably my favorite Ogden location). Heather and Jay have been so much fun to work with and are the sweetest people in the world! Heather brought some awesome umbrellas to use in her pictures that she will also incorporate into her wedding. They were killer! I love it when people bring props along to represent themselves. It makes the shoot feel so much more personal. I love the shots we got and am so excited for their wedding! It is going to be so beautiful and I love all of the bright colors. My kinda girl! Now for some pictures…Enjoy…

I had my husband take a picture of me for my website and blog so here it is… It’s me!!

(Good Job Honey!!!)

….all in one day that is. Right before Kamille and Chase came out of the temple it was hailing so hard, people were running for cover. When they came up the steps it was cloudy on the verge of sunny and as they made their down to greet their families on came the snow and hail. We ran to the steps and hurried through family pictures with everyone holding umbrellas only to finish and have the sun come shining through. Throughout the rest of our time shooting at the temple we got a mixture of sunny, cloudy, windy, and rainy. I have to say it was a very interesting day, but I love the way their pictures turned out. Kamille and Chase are so cute together and just perfect for each other. I have so enjoyed working with these two and Kamilles mom is just the nicest person ever! Thanks for a great day! Enjoy….
