September 5th and 6th from 11:00am to 8:00pm both days.

It will be so much fun and totally worth the drive if you are in Salt Lake. There are just tons of cool things to see and do. Bring your girlfriends and come say hi to me. I will be giving away awesome coupons and a gift card to Victoria's Secret!

Style

"You can define a Style, but a Style should not define You."

I would love to say that a cool famous person said that, to give it more credit, but, alas, I made that up. Or, at least, I believe I did. Maybe I heard something like it and am subconsciously regurgitating it.

For some reason photographers like to chat with each other about what their style is. I think my clients don't dissect it as much and just know what they like. I would love to be able to concretely tell you what my style is, but I can't. Style is something you evolve into, it's something that changes with the ebb and flow of trends, with the attitude and unique personality of the model, and even with the mood of the photographer. Your personal style should be something that you loosely have, an approach you take to your photography with the intent of being flexible.

I have been photographing people for years. I would say my style is modern and fresh because I keep evolving it. I would also say that I know the trends but don't live by them. I want your portraits to be relevant and undated years down the road. I would also say that your personal style also affects mine. I don't want you to look at your beautiful images and see a reflection of me in them; I am just the photographer and artist. I want you to see YOU and your unique beauty and your style which is just as multi-faceted and hard to define as my own.

Sexy Albums

I wanted to share a few pages from an album I designed. The photobook albums are beautiful with super glamorous glossy pages. They are true flush mounted, meaning there is virtually no seam down the center and they lay completely flat when opened. This allows me to design full panoramic spreads without any distortion, and you DON'T want distortion in these type of pictures.
There are a lot of options with this type of album including custom dust jackets, different sizes and the exact amount of pages you want.

There are lots of sizes available in both square and rectangle!

I wanted to note that all my albums are carefully designed to showcase your gorgeous photos. They are completely custom, I don't use templates or pre-made designs. Your album will be truly unique.

A Break for Flowers

I know, this has nothing to do with boudoir photography, but... My husband brought me flowers a couple days ago. I have been in the middle of editing a lot of bridal and boudoir portraits. Sometimes I just need a break to refresh my creativity. So I went down to my studio, dissected the arrangement and took about fifty frames.
Here are a few for you to enjoy.

New Computers Rock

Ok, so my last computer wasn't that old, but it was slower than I wanted it to be, so I bought a new one. Geekbox in West Jordan is the place to go for custom built computers! My new one is screaming fast and runs all of my powerful editing software smoothly. When my husband and I visited Geekbox I met Cameron, a fellow photographer, we talked cameras and Photoshop and he helped me pick out exactly what I needed. He said to bring my computer back and he would customize the settings on my computer to make Photoshop a dream. However, I haven't gotten back in yet. My summers are crazy-busy, such is the life of a wedding photographer :)
Anyway, the moral of the story is to go get a Geekbox computer, even if you aren't a super photo editing nerd like me. They have computers for everyone.
