fun business news : mini albums

I love mini albums . . . so tiny, so intimate . . . a great way to share your precious memories with friends, family, coworkers and everyone in between! These little treasures are included in my wedding and family packages.

I have been looking for a new album company [my previous company seems to have stopped making my other favorite album :( ]. Today my shipment arrived from Art Leather . . . fun!

These albums contain twenty 3x3 photos . . . they are so much fun to hold.

The back cover of the album has my company logo in silver . . .

These albums are the perfect gift. What parent or grandparent would not love to have this pocket/purse sized album to adore and share images of those they love . . .

Interesting in holding a mini album filled with your precious memories? Contact me about shooting your wedding or family, portrait or senior session!

Theresa + Wade + Ryan + Ivan : Family

This was truly an awesome shoot! When Theresa asked if I would shoot her family photos, I suggested that we shoot them at a place where the family enjoys being together. I work with Wade up at Huntsman Cancer Hospital; on many occasions, Wade has mentioned his family's involvement with hockey. The perfect location for their family: the Utah Olympic Oval, where the family spends up to 4 nights a week scoring, supervising or playing hockey.

The tiniest hockey skates I have ever seen . . .

Ivan was a ham for the camera . . .

The guys out on the ice . . .

The family

Look at that smile . . . doesn't Ivan look like he is up to somethin'?

I love this shot of Ryan

Doesn't Theresa look beautiful in this shot . . .

We finished the shoot in time for Ryan's game . . . the red helment . . .

Ivan being a ham for the camera again :) . . .

. . . while Theresa helped keep score.

Ryan was really quick on the ice.

One of the things I loved most about the shoot was it was the story of their family doing things that were very much a part of their everyday lives. I love it! Thanks for such an awesome shoot! Thanks for letting me capture a few moments in your lives!

Dave + Melanie + Tavia : Family

Okay, so it has been way too long since my last post . . . my apologies.

Just before mother's day I had the chance to shoot this cute family. Melanie received the shoot as part of a service auction last year, but wanted to wait until Tavia arrived . . . she worth the wait! Tavia is so cute . . .

Tavia discovered grass . . .

Tavia was not feeling well the day of the shoot but was a little trooper; she loved being cuddle by her parents during the shoot.

I love the interaction between Tavia and Melanie . . .

Dave + Melanie goofing around to make Tavia squeal with delight . . .

Tiny tongue . . . tiny hands . . . tiny feet . . . tiny dribble on her chin

What a gorgeous day to be outside!

Tavia even gave some cuddles of her own . . .

I absolutely love rim light

What a beautiful family! Thanks for the fun shoot!
