Brown Eye Beauty...

I enjoy taking picture. Every time I get started with someone I have a really fun time. Every once and a while you run across someone who is truly exciting to photography. I think that Suzie and her picture speak for herself.

Brad & Melissa

I met Melissa a while ago at a bridal fair here in Cache Valley. She is a DOLL! One of the nicest people I have ever met. We did their engagement pictures yesterday in Ogden, and we had her mom and dad, her grandam, and Brad's mom there. Talk about a FUN crowd!!! They are an amazing couple, and it was so much fun to get to know their families! These two are so natural with each other and so naturally photogenic. Melissa is the oldest in her family, and Brad is the youngest, and they get along sooooooo well. I look forward to Melissa's Bridal Session and to their wedding this summer. I can not wait to work with them again.

Birthday Present

Who doesn't love getting presents for their birthday? Well back in March I turned another year older (we won't say how many years...). I am always so excited to see what my husband gets me for my birthday. He is really not your average husband in so many ways, but for sure in gift giving. He NEVER forgets special events, and he is ALWAYS so thoughtful in the presents that he give me.

I had been looking for quite some time for an old wooden highchair for my baby girl. I searched all of the local antique shops and thrift stores, and was watching in the newspaper for any good garage sales. I was on waiting lists and had finally decided to turn to e-bay. I had been bidding on several of them, but I was so afraid that they would just fall apart by the time they were shipped to me. The shipping on most of them was going to cost more than the item itself. I was getting a little bit frustrated.

So, my cute husband found a highchair a while back from a local antique dealer. I was soooooo excited and surprised when he gave it to me. It was not in the best shape. It had Bambi and Thumper on the back, and the rest of it was covered in contact paper. We were told it was from the 40's, and I loved the strait lines on it.
My latest project was to fix it up. I wish that I had taken a before picture, but I was to excited to jump in and redo it. I sanded it down and put a fresh coat of red paint on it. I think it turned out so cute, and it is more than a highchair in the corner, now it is a decorative accent piece in my house.

Chris and Amanda, wow!!! We had a great great time. They were a PARTY. One of my favorite things to do is shoot engagements, and I love to shoot in new locations. Here are a couple of my favorites. These two will be getting married this summer in Logan and then a fun reception at the Joseph Smith Memorial building in Salt Lake City. I look forward to working with them, and we had such a good time getting to know each other...

Bonnie and Joel

Last night I did an engagement session with Bonnie and Joel. They were so much fun. Right from the start they really new the mood they wanted to set for their engagement pictures. They had such great style and we had a great time. Bonnie and Joel met many many years ago, and were high school sweet hearts. You could really tell that they new each other well from the way the interacted together. I am so excited to shoot their wedding this summer. Enjoy some of my favorite shots...
