“Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.”
-Marc Brown

I can’t believe that December is almost here, and soon it will be the New Year. I won’t be taking any more bookings for the rest of 2009, the only exception being for newborns- please contact me as soon as possible if you would like to schedule a newborn session during December. I am booking sessions for January and February so please send me an e-mail if you are interested.

There will be some changes in 2010- new model calls, new products and new pricing that will have all-inclusive digital collections. Be sure to come back often so you don’t miss any announcements.

And, of course, I couldn’t post without an image. My sweet children and I have been sick for the better part of the last month. Ita has taken a toll on all of us.  My two little ones had birthdays in October and I have still to take their birthday pictures. On saturday, we took a few minutes and tried to have a mini session even though the  light was really harsh that morning.

Despite all the imperfections, I got a few that I fell in love with:utah child photographyAren’t they so cute? :) They are 2 years apart and it just melts my heart to see how they are the best of friends.

And one of my littlest guy, who has become an increasingly harder subject to capture, he’s always on the go:utah toddler photography

Can’t decide which I like best, the color or the black and white:salt lake city child photography

Do you remember this collage that I made with images from my Summer trip to Portugal?

I finally ordered it and it arrived last week:
float wrap

This one is 16×16 inches in size and I call it a display portrait- I love the way it turned out!

They take a photographic print and wrap it around a lightly  padded mounting:float wrap corner

The back is finished in black and then a gatorboard block is applied to hang it on the wall. This gives the appearance of ‘floating’, hence the name.

float wrap back

Take my word for it, it looks awesome on a wall, it makes quite a statement.

This one will be traveling over the ocean, it’s a gift to my mom. My children have already chastised me for only ordering one, they wanted one for our walls too. I think I will be ordering more!

Do you remember this little guy? Here are some more from his session. I loved this session, he behaved so well and let me try so many different things. How sweet is that little pout?

At 5 weeks, he was still such a ‘curly’ little one.

“Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree.”

- Emily Brontë

Do you remember when I was spotlighted at Crazi Beautiful Women? Kari was the winner of a mini-session for her children. We scheduled it at the Salt Lake City Library and we had a fun mini session on the east grounds. The colors were just beautiful that day.

She brought some meaningful objects for her children which made for some wonderful storyboard images:

And a Christmas card design:

I met these siblings last friday evening and the weather was just gorgeous. The late afternoon light was simply beautiful.

They were last year’s Tooele Transcript’s Christmas Benefit Fund recipients and won a gift certificate for a mini session from me. I was very happy when they contacted me to schedule this session, we had so much fun!

More to come soon!
