Britani's Bridals

I met Britani's mom, let's see...I think in January at a bridal show. She was so cute and looked through all my albums and talked about her daughter that lived in Florida that was getting married in Utah. She was going around to all the bridal shows to help her plan her wedding since she was so far away. As she talked about her daughter you could tell how proud she was of her. Britani went to law school in Florida, practices there now, but will be moving back to Utah to practice here. Anyway, I was very excited when her mom called to book me.

Britani wanted a very classic look to her pictures and she relaxed very quickly behind the camera. Her pictures...wow! She's just stunning! We did end the session on a bad note though...we were waiting for her dad to pull the car around and we stopped under a tree. BAD IDEA!! I think you know where I'm heading with this, right? Yep, a lovely bird relieved himself all over Britani. Luckily only one small drop hit her dress, the rest was....well, everywhere else.

Pictures of her beautiful wedding will follow later!

Caldwell Pictures

If you follow my blog, these two faces should look familiar, only a bit older. I usually shoot pics of Carson and Davis once or twice a year and it was time again this year! We decided to do more of an urban shoot and let the kids play on some trains and just be boys. They had a lot of fun, except for the "mean train" that gives splinters : (

These pics will go in what their mom calls, her scrapbooking efforts. She has me design an 8x8 story book album of the shoot and over the years she'll have a collection of books that show her boys through out the years. I'll post the book when it's finished, but there are examples of her past books through out my blog.

Also, Jennifer sent me this nice note and I thought I'd share...

"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these pictures!! Thank you so much. I realize chasing the same two boys around can get boring, but you do such an amazing job and always capture Carson and Davis perfectly. Even the duplicates and not so perfect pictures truly reflect them at this stage. I know you do mostly wedding stuff, but as long as you are willing to keep shooting the candid shots of the boys, we'll keep doing it!

Thanks again. I'm going to get a box of tissues and look through the pictures again.... I wish they would stop growing! :-)"

Baby Mateo

Welcome baby Mateo! He's now two months old, but I thought I'd post his birth announcement. Shooting newborns is definitely different than shooting a bride, especially if the newborn does not have his diaper on ; ) Many, many, many accidents.

Is he not the cutest baby? We had the announcements printed on soft, linen paper from one of my vendors. They're actually two-sided so the other side becomes a 5x7 print that grandma can frame.

Want to Save Money on a Session?

Lately I've been missing my studio roots from my school days. I never really thought I'd say that because I love working with soft, natural light but...I want to push the edge a little. I want to combine natural light with my studio lights to bring out personalities and create artistic scenes. Ok and I guess I should also mention that the UPS man has been bringing me boxes of goodies and I'm itching to play : )

So, what this means for you...

I will shoot a senior, engagement, and bridal or model shoot at half price. I will choose the location based on your style, personality and my vision and you get beautiful pictures at a beautiful price. Now that's beautiful, aye?

Prices:
Senior Shoot: $175
Engagement/Bridal or Model shoot: $250

Non-refundable deposit due to secure your spot. All digital negatives are included in the price.
I'll only be doing one of each, so contact me soon before they're all gone!

Thank you from Candace & Allen

Oh Candace and Allen, so fun.... I shot her brother's wedding and I was so happy when she contacted me to shoot hers too! I just love her family. They came to her bridal shoot and we had so much fun blinding Candace with a reflector and looking out for bees at the orchard. I've posted some of their pics on my website and the blog will follow...

I just got this thank you from them and thought I would share.

Brandee-

Thank you so much for being such a great photographer to us. We honestly had so much fun with you and not only that but you take amazing pictures and we're so happy with how they turned out! We appreciate all of your time with us! : )

Love Candace & Allen
