WEDDING PACKAGES ARE NOW AVAILABLE IN THE PRICES SECTION ON THE BLOG!!!

Well…. FUNNY because it has been so long since I have blogged on here that I actually forgot all my saved shortcut actions for blogging and had to make new ones! I can’t tell you how AMAZING it has been for the last month to take some time for me and the fam. Ya see…. I am kinda selfish when it comes to my time. I get angry when I don’t have enough time to do anything fun. So basically I have been angry for 3 years now. I have realized that people might have sensed that about me because every time I answered the phone or got text messages from people all they did was apologize for talking to me and taking up any time. LAME. I don’t want to be the kind of person that people are afraid to bother.  SO… my assistant will be taking it up a few notches this year so I can take more pictures, and sit at my computer less. AND, it has only taken me a couple of years to REALLY pull off, but we finally put together a fun little studio (please hold your applause). It is located inside Little Reader’s Preschool on Main Street in Spanish Fork Ut. Just a tiny little room in the back, and I love it! I now have a place that I can go anytime of the day, in ANY weather, and take pictures. I have used it many many times but have not yet “opened” it to the public. I guess it’s because studio lighting and photographing children are not what I have focused on the last few years and I feel like a rookie all over again, learning what works and what leads to disaster. I have thought LONG and hard about what the pricing should be, what clients would get, or if I would offer prints this time or just the digital images, if I should let the clients pick the images or if I would let my assistant do it, etc. TODAY, it all came together. Hopefully it works for everyone…and if I don’t like how it runs I have no problems throwing it out the window and changing it up. That is what business is all about right? Trial and lots of errors.
What do you think of some of the pics so far?

I have looked at other studios….both in Utah and outside of Utah, and I appreciate all their own styles, post-processing, props, etc. BUT…none of them were me.  I tried to get into having lots of props a long time ago….chairs, benches, extra things to hold…..and they worked and I liked them. But bottom line…. still not my style.  SO I have decided that the studio had to be FUN. It had to be simple…. even if all I got in the picture was a little kids face that was enough.  I am not a vintage-styled gal with mono-toned old-styled photographs, …..so that might shy away 90% of Utah.  Dang it.  The studio pictures won’t be photo-shopped very much.  They will be a simple bright natural color, and a simple black and white.  I feel like I can’t promise that every child will sit perfectly and smile just the way you want them to, BUT I am pretty good and getting kids to laugh, or play, or sometimes I just scare them because I am ridiculous….. there goes the other 10% of Utah. Blast.

I know I know….. she is the cutest thing ever.  She wanted to wear that pink thingy….. I thought it was pretty cute. My friend Rebecca made these cute little stuffed animals…perfect for all those toddlers that try and run away from me….good and cute distractions.

awwwwww…. BOTH so pretty!!! ok ok every mom thinks that about their babies…. but SERIOUSLY!

ALSO if you own a blog or a business and want some head shots…. the studio is perfect for that kind of thing! awww aren’t they pretty? Not all of my backdrops are on the blog… there are plenty to choose from.

So you want the info? You will die it’s so cheap…

these prices are good for any shoot you want in the studio. Note: it is impossible to photograph a newborn in 30 minutes so I am currently NOT accepting any newborn shoots right now. SORRY! If your baby can sit up by themselves, they are old enough for a studio shoot.

HONESTLY I think I am cheaper than JCpenny….and JCpenny stinks….no offense.
