Party Shoot 2010
Most of you will remember our Party Shoots from 2009 (those of you who don't click here for a reminder or to learn something new: Party Shoots 2009). We have had such a great time in Blanding that we have decided to spread our wings and host one in Salt Lake City, UT also. This is a big step for us and we are SO excited about it.
And when I say, "us" I don't mean the other people in my head. I am talking about my hair and makeup artists: Ashli Bradford and Anita Hunt. Without them the Party Shoot would never be possible. They work hard, make everyone laugh hysterically, and do an amazing job!
So, more info on the shoots?
Blanding Party Shoot:
When: May 20-21st
Time: Well we will be there all day but we only need you for a few hrs. Those hrs depend on your schedule.
Where: Blanding, exact location pending.
Why: Simple. It is so much fun. You relax, we pamper you, take some fun pictures, and send you home with a smile on your face. :)
How: Let me know you are interested and we will figure out what day is best for you (sitting fee is only $35 and includes your five best photos).
Last day to sign up for this event is May 6th. We can only accept six girls each day so move quickly.

Crystal Bridals
I am sure you are all sick of my awful one picture posts. I am so sorry. I will try to redeem myself with this one.
This is Crystal and her beautiful daughter. They spent the day putting up with me while I ordered them to sit in the grass, crouch in the weeds, and not blink. It was so fun!! You will see more of these soon as they aren't quite finished yet; this is just a preview for Crystal cause she is so excited. :D

Anita's Costumes
We awoke to ominous clouds blocking out our light source. The grey gloomy sky threatened us and told us to stay in bed. We did not heed the council. 5:00 am came around far earlier than expected for those of us who stayed out dancing. But with no makeup, crazy hair, and in my case bad breath we greeted the morning with a heartfelt grunt.
Our purpose this grey day? Dress 19 girls (and Mark) in 21 costumes and photograph them. The ultimate goal was to get enough fabulous pictures to create an amazing portfolio for Anita, the seamstress. By noon it was pouring rain, 1:00 it was a blizzard... then rain, then sleet, then snow again.
But we continued, lurking in parking garages, making umbrellas props, and wrapping the camera in her own personal snuggie. For the most part the day was a success. I still have work to do on the images but these are a few of my personal favorites. :D (Don't worry you will get to see plenty more soon).









Canvas
The doorbell rang. My heart jumped. The only people who ring my door bell are Frank from FedEx and Ubert from UPS. They always bring me the most fabulous gifts!
I opened the door as Frank waved a cheerful good-bye from his truck. I lurched for my package and tore through the tape and cardboard that held it bound. This is what I found inside:

Kristina and Josh are just beautiful! I will have a hard time relinquishing their canvas when they come to pick it up. :D
