Winding to a close

As this year winds to a close I wish you all a happy and safe New Year.

White Christmas

Whoever wished for a White Christmas needs to keep it to themselves form now on....
This picture was taken through the window at my aunt and uncles house on Christmas Day. It snowed 18 inches in that 24 hour period.... way too much for my liking!

Family Pictures...eeekkkk

So recently a friend of mine asked if I would take pictures of her and her kids... never having taken any family pictures before I was excited for the opportunity and very very nervous about screwing it up. Talk about pressure.

Luckily, Emily was very calm about the whole thing and kept reminding me it was only her... Thanks for that Em. Not having any clue what to do I took to the internet to research family picture poses and locations. I also enlisted the help of Eric, my very patient teacher in this photography journey.

After going back and forth about location Emily and I decided on the Springville Art Museum. The location was perfect. There are so many quaint little nooks and cranneys in the museum not to mention an excellent staircase that made for some fun pictures. The day started off with my being extremely nervous and a bit overwhelmed but once I calmed down a bit I had a lot of fun.

I'm by no means ready for this to be a regular gig, but I'm excited for the opportunity and open to any practice anyone wants to throw my way. Here are some of the results of the photo session.

These gals seemed to be having a great time driving around the pond. They asked for a picture and I was more than happy to help out. Here you go girls... I hope you remembered the website address....

This tree made entirely of large blown glass discs was the highlight of the Utah Festival of Trees. The trees at the festival are auctioned off to raise money for the Primary Children's Hospital. This tree sold for $26,000.
