The Witches Are Out

Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love the crisp cool air and the beautiful changing colors…but what I love most is Halloween.  Every year for Halloween Gardner Villiage brings out the witches!  If you are ever in SLC in October you should check it out.  Not only does it have awesome Fall/Halloween decorations, but as always it has killer shops and restaurants.  This year our family and the Stevens decided to make the trip to SLC for the weekend to go see the witches.  There is always good photo opportunities with Millie and Avery in front of the camera.  Check it out…

Here are a few of the famous witches

Senior Portraits with Nick and Lacia

Sunday morning was FREEZING when we took Nick & Lacias senior portraits.  I felt so bad for Lacia in her cheerleading uniform!  Nick and Lacia are actualy cousins so they thought that it would be fun to do some picture with them together.  Here are a few of my favorites from the day

Outlaw Trail Festival of the Arts Juried Photo Shoot

Every year Alex and I try to enter some pictures in our local juried art show.  This year Alex pretty much cleaned house…I did ok too!

Alex took 1st place for this awesome picture of the Manti, UT temple.

Alex also took 1st place with this picture that he took at a wedding from last year.  So cute huh?

contest03.jpg

I took 1st place for this shot.  This shot was from one of the best wedding I have ever photographed.

contest02.jpg

This picture took 2nd place…kind of a bummer…but you can’t win ‘em all!  This shot was taken in Missoula, Montana at 4:30 in the morning in the summer…yeah it is a little strange to get use to so much light in a day!

Tomorrow I will be posting Erin and Jason’s wedding photos…so stay tuned

Birth Announcements…Finally

I have been a bit of a slacker.  Paige is almost 2 months old & I am just getting her birth announcements printed.  I sat down yesterday and told myself that I was not getting up until they were done so….here they are.  I did 2 because I didn’t love the first vertical one I did so I started playing around with the horizontal one.  I think they both turned out pretty cute!  Cute announcement for a cute girl!

the vertical one

the horizontal one

in honor of Paige I also had to change my logo to pink…the red clashed horribly with the pink & brown!
