2012 unWPPI

Posted in Uncategorized

For those of us NOT in Las Vegas over the next week for WPPI, we like to put on a little gathering of our own. Its called unWPPI, and its a blast. Anyone is invited, just let me know that you’re going to come!!

What: Gathering of those not fortunate enough to be in sunny Las Vegas

When: Wednesday, February 22nd

Time: 7:00pm

Who: Anyone that is interested, but you must RSVP

Where: Lehi Photography Studio. Address is 1000 E 400 S Suite D. (Same building as Jump Up gymnastics & Purple Pig Pizza in Lehi).

Bring: a 3-5 minute little presentation about something interesting you have learned recently. It doesn’t have to be huge – last year we talked about lighting patterns, cool album design software, nifty little gadgets. Anything goes. Its fun to see what others have been learning!

Afterward, we will most likely head to Applebee’s and their 1/2 off appetizer deal after 9pm. Yum!!

I may be able to come. I am busy until 7:30, however I will be in Lehi already. Would I not be allowed in if I showed up late? :)

Dang it, I just heard about this today and don’t think I can make it tomorrow. This is brilliant and I love that its local. Do you do this every year? Not likely I will be in Vegas next year either…

Erin - February 21, 2012 - 6:53 pm

I am going to try and make it. I don’t live too far.

Let it snow! Utah Lifestyle Photography

Posted in Family Lifestyle

Here they are! I’m so excited. This went exactly as I pictured it in my head. There are a couple of reasons for this particular shoot – so I thought I’d share. My kids LOVE building forts, and I love watching their little imaginations go crazy as they play in them. We build all types – big ones, little ones, tall ones, dark ones, bright ones, short ones. Depends on the furniture available and how adventurous I’m feeling at the time.

Reason #2 – I’m obsessed with the Carters brand pajamas. Obsessed. We buy them at Costco twice a year. Once for the winter and once for the summer – so they have their “cold” jammies and their “summer” ones. LOVE. We’ve done this ever since my oldest was a baby – and now she’s actually on her last set. Biggest size they have so we’re going to have to come up with something else for next year (I’m tearing up just thinking about it!). So, I wanted a little something to document the ending of this phase in her (well, really MY) life.

Reason #3 – there has been almost ZERO snow this year. Its a little crazy. We usually have a few feet by now, but today it RAINED. Seriously. I’ve heard its been pretty mild all over the country, but STILL. My kids wanted to play in it – so we just decided to make our own. Pretty sweet stuff. You can buy it on Amazon. Insta-snow I think it’s called. Super fun times.

Reason #4 – They play SO well together. Cara is finally old enough to be interested in what her siblings are doing (except for the pillow fight – she just saw her blankie and decided it was naptime). They love to play legos – and my older 2 are adorable with their little sister.

There you have it. I’m in love with these photos. I can’t wait to print them on canvas’ and hang them in my front living room. Its going to be epic.

Looks like it was a lot of fun and a wonderful way to document your kids right now.

Woah!!!! That is really cool!!!!!!!! What a great shot and a great idea! Can’t wait to talk to your husband to see how he pulled it off. What did you use for the snow? Now I’m sad that we don’t live by you so we can get our photo taken in this awesome indoor snow dome : )

Justin & Tianna: Salt Lake City LDS Wedding

Posted in Wedding

Looking back, I’m pretty sure November was a lot colder than December in 2011. These two were such troopers though!!  We managed to get some great photos of the two of them around the Salt Lake LDS Temple. I love it there in the winter! Everything is so.. peaceful. We ended the night at their reception in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building Empire Room. One of my favorites!

Gabe’s birth & newborn slideshow

Posted in Uncategorized

What an amazing experience! I’m so grateful that I was able to be there for Gabe’s birth. Having never been in a delivery room (other than my own kids), or seen a birth it was definitely very moving. We were then able to do newborn photos at Gabe’s house a few days after birth. Thank you so much for including me!

Here are some of the highlights:

Andy & Shelby Formals

Posted in Bridals/Formals, Wedding

So gorgeous, happy, and in LOVE! Wow. Andy & Shelby opted for a pre-wedding formal session and I’m so glad we did. Despite being late November, the weather at the Draper LDS Temple was beautiful! Most of my weddings take place at the Salt Lake City LDS Temple, so it was definitely fun to mix things up. Plus, we couldn’t have asked for a better day!! Sunny, not too cold, and we had the place almost all to ourselves. I truly enjoyed this session. More to come from their wedding soon!!
