Later, Megan’s sisters showed up and I took pictures of the whole group. Amongst themselves there was some catching up to do, of course, so the conversation included this gem.
One sister: Today my son ate two of my birth control pills. He’s fine. The lady at poison control said he could eat the whole pack and all he’d get is a stomach ache.
I love my job.

Last week we announced our 30 Stranger project coming up in April. I can’t wait. Well, once Gabrielle and Stephanie mentioned it on their blogs, it only took a couple hours to fill all the spots. (Last year when we did it in two days, I thought that was fast–but two hours? Wow. What’s going to happen next year?) And what to do about all those people that still want to participate, but contacted us after the 30 spots were filled? Well, we came up with a great plan and a super deal. If you want to know what it is, email me. That’s what Shelah did, because she knows the value of getting stunning portraits of her and her daughters.




Big, big thanks to the Penny Royal Cafe where some of these photographs were taken.
Next week we begin the 30 Strangers project and I’ll be making daily posts as the project progresses, so hang on to your hat. This is going to be great.

First of all, thanks so much for everyone that came to the party on Friday. Throughout the night, we had about 100 people come see our space and say hello.
And I just can’t say enough good about the band that played: The Gatsbys. Thanks fella’s. You really spiced things up. I kept hoping they’d play this song and they did! Sweet.
And speaking of sweet, we had the most delicious cup cakes I’ve ever had, provided by Megan at the Sweet Tooth Fairy. I ate three. I’ll admit that now. Three cup cakes, snort snort. They were amazing.
We handed out raffle tickets and at a few times throughout the night we called out some winning numbers. (I actually used a megaphone, like I was a high school principal or something. You’ve got to get one). The winners were awarded gift certificates and products from the following places. Note: These are some of our favorite people in town and we love them and the businesses they run. They have our highest recommendations. We weren’t giving away stuff from just anyone.
Kaliedoscope Boutique
Shep Salon
Pizzeria 712
The Smokehouse
Metropolitan Salon
The Flower Basket
Mode Boutique
Applebees (just kidding about this one)
It’s so fun to have a party like that and see our good friends and make some new ones. I had a great time and really feel fortunate and blessed to know so many talented and interesting people. I love what I do for a living and it’s a good feeling to be able to share that with others. Thanks, friends, for coming to our little celebration. And now, some pictures.

Working as a photographer herself, Tracy had come to this place in Provo before to take pictures. She loved the colors. She shot film, then had it cross processed.
So when it came time for family pictures, she remembered this place.
I followed her and Shep over. I wasn’t sure where we were going, but when I saw that building, I thought, well if that’s not where we’re going, we should certainly stop anyway. Turns out, that’s what Tracy had in mind. I love it when we’re on the same page.













And now, here’s their one minute slideshow:

I think it’s a good sign when an engaged couple can’t stop smiling when they look at each other. From time to time I’d say, “Ok, now don’t smile for a second” and for Paige and Mark, that was impossible. They’d giggle and try not to smile, but in the end, they’re just so happy to be getting married. Now that’s sweet.
Location: Provo
Mood: Giddy bliss
Percentage of time smiling: 99.9%
Her coat: Freak’n awesome

Sure, she grew up here, but she had moved to California and started working as an actress. She just happened to be back in Utah to film a movie. He managed the club where the movie was being filmed. She vowed she’d never move back here. Ah…that was because she didn’t realize how charming Travis could be. Ladies and gentlemen–Travis and Tisha. Two minute slideshow here.

Janet and Steven got married at the Hidden Valley Country Club. I arrived early and we got in golf carts and drove to some secluded places and took pictures of the two of them before the guests arrived. I loved driving the golf carts. We even saw a deer. I took that as a good omen of good things to come.
You can see a short slide show here.
If you want wedding photographs like these for yourself or someone you love, give me a call.
