This is a picture of my packaging station. I put an old door in the corner and attached a shelf to it. Under the shelf is a ribbon stretched across the door that my tissue paper hangs from.

Hank and Lacey~married!

Hank and Lacey were married on one of the windiest days I have ever known. I was seriously amazed that all my pictures weren't blurry! The ceremony was short and sweet on the banks of the Snake River in Burley Idaho. Lacey did not want Hank to see her before the ceremony, so we found an alley that blocked the wind a little bit to shoot some bridals in before the ceremony. I found this fabulous chair to use! I went back for it after the wedding and shoved it in my car!

This is my favorite shot of the day!!! Lacey's dad said a few words to the bride and groom as he gave her away. You can see how Hank can't take his eyes off of his beautiful bride as he shakes her dad's hand!

and the winner is....Brooke!

THANKS for all of your suggestions! I ended up using most of them! It was hard to choose a winner, but after attending a charity luncheon for the Christmas Box House last week I had to use Brooke's idea. My friend Kristin hooked me up with a little 4 yr old boy who recently moved into the Christmas Box House to buy Christmas for. It broke my heart to read his list. He asked for a coat and socks and Thomas the train. The children on my friend's lists asked for things like blankets and socks without holes in them!

Tonight we dropped off a bunch of food to Jiffy Lube(I guess they match your donation) and then picked out a video at Blockbuster. I added something fun to do after each charitable event like getting ice cream or going to see the lights. So far so good! No complaints from the kiddos! I will also do something one on one with each of my kids. On Wed. I am pulling Wren out of school(she had all A+'s on her midterms) to go shopping and then to the PUG photography Christmas party in SLC!

The Johnson Family

Grace

This is my friend Rachael's little girl. I love this first shot!

Ideas anyone????

This is my Christmas advent calender . About half of the boxes are filled with presents and I want to fill the rest with some kind of charitable family activity. I am pretty much brain dead right now and am having a hard time coming up with ideas. Please help me out! Leave me a comment and the person with the best idea will receive a "Christmas Eve" scented Salt City candle(my favorite!) To see how I made this you can check out my post from last year here.

My baby girls!

I wish they were still babies! They are growing up way too fast! I brought them with me to a commercial shoot and snapped a few when I was finished! Now if my son would only let me take his picture!

Blake and Allyse~wedding

I will have to post a slideshow later because there were so many great images from Blake and Allyse's wedding!


Check out this awesome picture my daughter took! Check her blog for more pictures from this wedding!

..and baby makes three!

I photographed Laura and Jason's wedding a few years ago, but it seems like it was just yesterday! Isn't she the most beautiful new mother you have ever seen? All of my wedding packages include a free maternity or newborn session.

Happy anniversary!

This picture CRACKS me up!!! We both look SO different now! Yesterday he took me to brunch at Stein Erickson's at Deer Valley and then we stayed at the Alaskan Inn in Ogden Canyon. Later today we will go mountain biking! I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man who I have SO much in common with!

One for now

I am no longer having computer problems, however one of the install discs for the new photoshop cs4 program I purchased is missing so I have to wait for them to send it to me! I have the worst luck EVER!!! If I make through the holidays it will be a freakin' miracle!!
