    christmas in july | holiday promotion | salt lake city family photographer

    Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

    Even though it’s incredibly hot and sticky out here in Utah, Target has started pushing their back to school stuff (which does make me happy)…which will soon lead to Halloween (the *very* best time of year!) and Thanksgiving and Christmas. And if you’re like me, once July is over the rest of the year just melts into one giant month of Augu-cember and it can be scary that those once grand ideas of getting all these things done before the holidays turns into your New Years Resolutions for 2011. I know, I’ve been there :) So this year…let’s plan ahead :)

    big photography giveaway | salt lake city photographer

    Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

    Becky Higgins is someone that I have admired from the beginnings of my scrapbooking obsession. After I began teaching for CK and Simple Scrapbooks I was lucky enough to get to meet her and now can call her a friend. I look back on the first time I met her as a fellow teacher and remember being so star struck thinking how crazy it was that I was able to go to lunch with her and some of the other big names that I admired so much. I am pretty sure that I even told her that, and I remember her laughing at me, thinking I was silly for feeling that way. Becky is a generous and kind person and I am so proud to be a part of her Giveaway. Check out her blog here to see the details and enter for your chance to win…and if you’re not in my area, keep checking for the rest of the month of May, there just might be a photographer in your area!!

    what to wear version two | Utah family photographer

    Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

    This post is in follow up to a popular entry from November answering the always present “What do I wear?” question. This shows that it’s ok that you don’t have outfits that “match” or that you think go together. Because if you pull together outfits that are similar in style, meaning all casual, all dressy, all in jewel tones, etc…you can pull of some great looks.

    This example shows a more colorful example of coordinating outfits than the previous version which showed a more monochromatic styling. Both are great, but this example shows that you don’t have to be matching to look great together. A outfit grouping like the one above highlights the people and their personalities and creates a great pulled together look for your images.

    Were the months before the holidays too crazy and hectic to get everyone together for some family photos? Did you get tons of holiday cards from friends and relatives showcasing their family pics but never took the time to create your own? Are you thinking it’s time to bite the bullet and finally get everyone together for some fun shots…but you’re thinking you need to wait until next year? Please don’t wait. So many things can happen in a year…and we all know how crazy those months are before the holidays, right? :) So I have an offer for you…book yourself a family photo session now at the regular session fee rate (or one for just the kids for a great Valentine’s gift for mom or dad) and get another fall family session to be held after August 1st for a half off your fall session fee. Keep reading the blog in the coming weeks…some new information to be coming regarding new products and more!
