So Much Adorableness!!

I got to photograph these adorable kids yesterday at the Provo Library. Such cute kids!! They were so adorable with each other. My youngest son, Bridger, tagged along. I let him use my Canon to take pictures as well, to keep him entertained. He took some fun ones, I'll post later. :)

More Travis & Marci

There were SO many fantastic images of these two, I was glad when Travis asked if there were any more images I might be able to edit for him. I'd photograph these two any day, they made it easy! I did do color edits of these images as well, but the black and white ones were really speaking to me this round!

Spread the Word!

My 8 year old daughter has always been very aware of the homeless people that we see out in the community asking for money. For a long time she's wanted to do something to help and is always thinking of things she can do to raise money. Everything from making bracelets to sell at school, to performing for people in our apartment complex. The other day she was talking about the possibility of making blankets for them with my mom to take to a local shelter. This seemed like something we could do. I've contacted the shelter to see if this was something that was needed. I haven't heard back, but I did see other things on their website that we could do if blankets aren't needed. Hygiene kits, craft projects to do with their kids in the playroom and other things. So if I hear back from the volunteer coordinator that blankets aren't needed, I've got back up plans! But I think if we did blankets, it'd be more for the kids there. Every kid needs their own special blanket! :)

So here's where I come in. I thought, what can I do to help my daughter achieve here goals? I certainly can't afford to fund the blanket production. But I CAN help her earn money for fabric! So I'm going to set aside several days to do mini shoots for people. 30 minutes, 10+ images edited on a disc with a copyright release. I've set it at a $50 donation, but we'd be happy to take whatever anyone can afford to donate. I don't want to exclude people if $50 is too much.

If you'd like to donate, but don't live nearby or aren't interested in photos, that's ok too! I promise. ;) 

If you're interested, email me at classiccoutureutah@gmail.com or comment on this post. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

My Little Slice of Heaven

When I was a kid, I remember thinking that sunsets were Heavenly Father's way of letting us see heaven every night.

As a grown up, I don't think I was wrong in that thought process. ;)

I think I'll add these to my Print section as well. I think they'd be amazing on canvas!!

Not Afraid

Kristen & Girls

I have had so much fun photographing everyone so far, and it was especially fun to photograph these gorgeous girls! I haven't seen Kristen since good ol' jr, high, so I was very much looking forward to catching up. We went to the downtown library in Salt Lake City. There are just so many fun places for photos there! When we started, I asked Kristen's oldest girl if there was a word I could say that would make her laugh, if she had a favorite funny word. Her word of choice was "blankie," and so every time I said "blankie" she would make sure she gave me a great big laugh. I loved it!

Travis & Marci

I had so much fun photographing Travis a couple of weeks ago, so I was absolutely excited when he asked me to do photos of him and a friend of his, Marci. Two seriously gorgeous people. They made my job easy. :)

I think it's fun seeing how different editing changes the look/feel of an image:

Look Up

Winter Laughter

Here's another picture I put together, using an image I took last night at my kid's school. :) These are really fun to make! What are your favorite quotes?

Quote of the Day

On this freezing cold ACTUAL winter day (go figure!), I came across this quote and thought it would fit nicely on this picture I took at my kid's school tonight. :) I hope you enjoy it!
