I highly recommend this to anyone that’s serious about improving their talent. We spent a day in the studio, a day shooting outside urban, and a day on Photoshop techniques, marketing, & […]

In April, we celebrated Cute Husband’s graduation with an MS in Computer Science from BYU. It’s been such a good experience, but we are SO grateful to be done! He learned a ton, met some great people, and convinced me that I never want to go for a Master’s Degree! I’m so proud of you, […]

    18 months! You know what that means – nursery!! Congrats to hearing and getting something from lessons again!

    What a cutie. He looks so handsome in his vest. It so crazy to see how fast they grow and change. He looks so much older than the last time I saw him and it’s only been a few months.

I tried out new location with these two (it was okay, not tons of color), and then we went to the old Sinclair gas station. I love the old cars! They also wanted their dog, Bosco (did I spell that right?) in some of their pictures. Having never worked with animals before I was a […]

    Great Pics! My Madsen cousins are all so musically talented. I guess us Buckholt’s missed out on that musical gene. Or maybe we are just lazy…. I’ll go with Lazy for myself.

    Can I say, I miss seeing my Shane up at the top of your blog? By the way, I was thinking today, You need to make a link square thingy for your photography that us customers/friends can put on our blog…oooh, and I thought of something else. you could have a prize quarterly, thirdly, (I know, not a word, but should be!) or annually for those that bring on the most customers and we get a free mini session, Or one free digital photo, or something. ‘m just always thinking of how to increase your business…even though You’re probably trying to figure out how to scale back cause you’re so amazing and must be getting SOOOO INCREDIBLY POPULAR! Okay, I guess I should have just e-mailed you this is getting so long! We missed you guys today, we’ll have to for sure play next week (besides my tuesday time you promised).

This is from my engagement shoot last weekend. So fun! She’s my cousin, and her fiance served part of his mission in Sam’s home ward out in CA under Bishop Curren. Crazy coincidence, huh? 🙂 More to come later so check back!

    LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! And I can’t wait to see the rest of them. By the way, can you make me look that gorgeous when you take my family’s pictures this spring? 😉

    Good job – I wish you were doing their wedding too!

  • Jessica - February 18, 2009 - 11:52 am

    Jess you are so awesome with the camera! You totally have to give us some pointers. I wish we were still their so we could take lessons.

    Since we are going to be taking a LOT more pictures here in the very near future, what camera would you recommend for us to start with? Can I just say that Roger is very excited to get a new camera! 🙂
