On Down The Line

Referral line that is. I am so blessed to have the BEST clients in the world. It means so much to me when I am referred by a past client to their friends and family. I don’t take it lightly that you have put your name and judgment on the line for me. THANK YOU ALL!!!

So here is a little map of referrals for you. This shows how my next bride came to find me. First there was Estee, who told her sister Tiffany about me. Tiffany told her neighbor Chelsie. Chelsie’s mom told Jessica’s mom who called me. Again THANK YOU. Not only to everyone in this referral line but to the countless others.

Jessica, you are BEAUTIFUL! I cant wait to shoot your wedding in December.

Hawaiian Wedding….in Utah

As you can probably tell by how green everything was, this wedding was last month. I loved this wedding. It was very simple but elegant. The bride and groom were gorgeous. I loved the leis. One of the bridesmaids was a former bride of mine and has referred me several times over so a big thanks going out to you Trudi.

Baby! Baby!

So these precious boys are two months apart. Their moms are really good friends and wanted a combined shoot so that we could do a few pics of them together. I’m sure you will be able to tell from the pics that we had a great time.

By the way, this is a good example of a new outlook on photography. It is called Lifestyle Portraits because instead of coming to my studio, I come to you. It tends to make a much more relaxed shoot and I am able to capture your family in their environment. For more details please contact me.

Florida

We had so much fun on our vacation. I had such a busy summer that I was just mentally exhausted and really needed this time away from my computer and phone. But all good things must end and I am super happy to be home and by my computer again.

We started out in Orlando. We met my brother and family who live here in Utah and my sister and family who are from Kentucky. We rented this amazing house (which I forgot to get pics of). We did four days of Disney (2 days Magic Kingdom, 1 day Animal Kingdom and 1 day MGM). Then 1 day of SeaWorld.

Then we went to Miami Beach and stayed in this swanky hotel on the beach and got pampered a little.

For those who have not been to Miami, it is pure eye candy. Everywhere you look you see pastel colored 1930’s architecture, huge mediterranean inspired homes with yachts parked out front, quaint cafe’s and restaurants on every corner. Clubs thumping Cuban music can be heard from every direction. High fashion boutiques everywhere. We drove down the same street 4 times just to see everything we wanted to. I am already regretting not spending more time taking pics there but there just wasnt the opportunity.

So this morning we woke up at 2 am to get to our flight on time. By about 9 this morning I was exhausted. But sleeping on a plane is out of the question. About that time the flight attendant came on the loud speaker and made an announcement that kept me giggling (remember I am sleep deprived) ALL DAY. “Welcome Delta passengers to flight ___. We would like to point out that October is breast awareness month”. Then a huge pause. By the time she came back on and tried to explain she meant breast cancer awareness the damage had been done.

I had better get to bed. I have a busy week of photos ahead of me and I cant wait to get back into it.

OUT OF OFFICE

Hey ALL! I will be out of the office until Tuesday the 16th of October. I will have very limited phone and internet access but please feel free to leave a message or email and I will return it ASAP. I can promise lots of pics posted when I return. Thanks everyone and have a great week!!

These are her adorable twin cousins. I actually have no idea if these pics are of the same baby. If their mom is looking, maybe she can tell.
