Tennessee Birthday Event!!

This Birthday Lunch has been going on for at least 50 years! It was fun to be flown all the way to Tennessee just for the special occasion. It was sooo fun meeting everyone and getting to see the rolling hills of Tennessee.

My goodness and we stopped at the most fun antique malls. I got myself an antique fan...and I sure needed it! It was sooo warm and humid...well more than I'm use to, living in Utah and all. Check it out! I even had a chance to have REAL Tennessee Barbeque!! YUMMY!!

E2 Salt Lake City @ Salt Air...Saweeet.

Brody and David took us on a Field Trip out to Salt Air and had a great time!! Afterwards we spend the day learning more and more, and even had a chance to talk one on one with the two of them! It was sooo helpful to get such different points of view. Check out my pretty pics of Miss Cash!!

Day 2 of E2!!

Today we started with a little photo shoot..then off to the world of work-flow. My goodness, David and Brody know what they're talking about! They were sooo generous with their time and knowledge! Its really a rare thing to find in this photography world, to find people who are genuinely helpful on their own trusting in Karma to return the favor. Thanks Guys!!

Now these two little Love Birds are getting married in August and they were meant for each other!! Thanks Cash and Justin!!

E2 Ever Evolving Seminar in Salt Lake City!!!

Brody Dezember and David Salomone are hosting a great seminar in Salt Lake City!!! I'm so excited and learning a ton!! Today we searched for backgrounds and talked about the process of looking for places to shoot along with tips on how to further our creativity and think outside the box. These two are a couple of smart cookies. Its really interesting to see how other people think and their thought process. It's also very cool to be inspired by other photographers.

I also had such a great idea!! We came across this Storage Place, and I thought what a cute "save the date"!!!! We could put the garage door with the number in a calendar like it belonged there or find cool numbers in the city and photograph the couple around/with those numbers!! It would be soooo fun!! LOL.

Oriana & Ben Congratulations on the 5 year Anniversary!!

It was so much fun to do a night shoot with these two! Can you believe that strawberry moon we just had? It was night of their anniversary and I took 'em up the mountain to a spot where teenagers are likely to make out! LOL! Needless to say it was a fun fieldtrip!

Check out Oriana's site, I'm sure we'll be seeing more of her!

Here's some pics!

Holy Cow!! 1886 Wowsa!

It turns out I love the end result after restoring an old photograph! I love the feeling that its an heirloom and I've made it possible for generations to get to know their heritage. Well maybe not their heritage, but they can see what their great-great-greats where wearing and look like. Its amazing to see family resemblances. LOL. Anyway this is Mrs. Maude Lyman as a baby in 1886...before and after restoration.

Mrs. Backer's Pastry Shop!! Yummy.

We stopped and got some delicious cupcakes for my bro's birthday. What a lucky guy. This shop is sooo charming and yummy! If you want to get some they are at: 434 E. South Temple in Salt Lake City or you can call them at 801-532-2022 and order something scrumptious!

Alas the cupcakes I ordered I didn't get pictures of...they were scarfed before I grabbed the camera...lol! Although, you can get some of the triangle cakes in the pictures ....ohhhhhhhhh...delicious!

Our First Senior Field Trip! The Very Exotic Salt Flats!

I love field trips! Don't you? I love the behind the scenes look at how places run..but that's another entry for another day..lol. Anyway..I took Lyndsi Daaaaling to the Salt Flats...I had a great time! I hope she did too, even if the salt was very...I'm talking very wet. Poor thing..such a trooper! If you're interested in a field trip or a road trip..I'm soooo up for it. On to a handful of my favs. I couldn't decide..so I'm showing more than usual..lol. First up our own little down town.


The salt flats: Sexy Shoes..baby!
Just over the city of Wendover before we called it a night.

A big Thank You!! Thank You!! to Zack Arias for my new Lighting Skills!
