just trying to catch up on some summer weddings that i didnt have time to post back in the summer!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i have been highlighted on a fabulous photographers blog “all the photographers”  i was so excited when i saw it! it is always such an honor to get recognized and featured on other blogs.  thank you everyone at all the photographers blog!  be sure to check it out here.  

i shot these pictures for an upcoming cd jerald is working on. you can check out his work here.  he is an amazing pianist and i defintely recommend checking his work out!  i had such a great time with jerald and his wife suzanne.  they lived in our neighborhood a few years back and i loved being able to catch up with them again.  and don’t they make such a cute couple!!  i am excited to do their family pictures in the spring.  they have the most adorable little girl!  let me know what you think!!  oh and don’t mind the haze in some of the shots.  it was one of those nasty utah days

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i shot abbey’s bridals at the beehive tea room in salt lake in the middle of december.  i had never shot there before and i absolutely loved it!  i will defintely be shooting there again.  i loved all of the fun lighting i was able to do and 90% of it was off camera. my lovely assistant brock was there to help help with lighting.   it was such a nice change to be able to do something different.  and abbey was amazing!  isn’t she gorgeous.?!?! she seriously looks like a movie star.  she was so awesome to work with.  abbey is also a photographer and will be going to photography school in london.  isnt that so awesome!  it is always such a HUGE honor when another photographer picks you to do their wedding.  her wedding was also incredible and i will be posting it soon! 

 let me know what you think!  i love comments!

 

 

 

 

 

 

here is a best of 2009 by each session that i have shot.  i have been so blessed to have enough work and the best clients.  thank you everyone for making 2009 great!!!  i hope 2010 is even better!!

their cake topper.  so cute!

in december i had my brother in law brock take snap some pictures of us for our family christmas cards.   aren’t my girls so dang cute!?!?  i am so excited for this year!  i can feel that it is going to be awesome!  hope you all have a great new year.  i have some absolutely INCREDIBLE weddings coming up and i am so excited to shoot all of my fun brides!

i only have 3 resolutions this year so hopefully it will make them easier to keep.

1-be more organized with my time (if i am more organized with my time, i will be able to change other aspects of my life.  i am a huge procrastinator and feel like i waste a lot of time doing unneccesary things.  i can be a better mom and wife and have more time for myself to take care of myself and do things that i love like reading and spending more time with the people i love, if i better organized my time)

2- be more organzied with my money (this will require me to do something that i hate and that is cooking more meals at home and taking time to find and use coupons.   not only will that be a better way to save money but will also be healthier.  i hate cooking so it is easy to eat out and it is amazing how much money you can spend eating out and don’t even realize it!)

and

3-keep going to the gym and feeling awesome! ( i have gotten into a good habit a  few months ago of going to the gym 4 or so times a week and i love it! it gives me a chance to take care of myself and feel good and also have some me time.  i think that is very important as a mom to take time out for yourself and love yourself. i usually make goals like i want to lose 10 pounds but i know if i keep going to the gym and working out, i am going to feel so much better in the long run then putting unneccesary pressure on myself.  i am comfortable with how i look so i just want to keep feeling great! ) 

those should be pretty easy to keep, don’t ya think?

   so here’s to awesome weddings, a new year and keeping resolutions! (and blogging more!!)
