New Boudoir Set Option

I get really excited about adding new options to my studio to shoot with. However I do have to be judicious. I have limited space for my boudoir studio and it has really filled up fast. But I couldn't resist this beautiful chocolate brown bed set. And I happen to have a really gorgeous client that let me use this picture to show it off.

It's Our Anniversary!

It is my husband and my ten year anniversary today! Charlie pointed out today that I have been married exactly one third of my life. It is hard to believe.
We met in college and dated for quite awhile. We got married when I was only 20 years old. Looking back that seems so young.

In ten years we have really built a wonderful life. We started a business together shooting weddings. Although I love boudoir photography (which is my own business), I do love shooting weddings because I love to work with my husband (and I'll admit it, I have actually cried during ceremonies and have fallen more in love with my husband while watching other people get married).
We have a beautiful daughter. She is so much fun and full of energy. She is smart and energetic and we are so happy to have the opportunity to be her parents.
We are lucky enough to be able to own a house in West Jordan close to both of our families and all of the people and things we love.

I was going to find my wedding pictures and post some here, but I haven't had the time. I may try to do it soon if I get the chance. So I will leave you with some interesting (or not, you decide) facts about our wedding/engagement:

• We got married the same day as Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
• We randomly picked a day on the calendar to get married.
• I bought my dress at a trunk show for under $200, which was unplanned, but very exciting. My husband was there when I bought it (like I said, it was unplanned). I loved it.
• My 14 year old sister was my maid of honor.
• We briefly lost my 86 year old grandfather (who had traveled from Washington) before the reception. He fell asleep in the men's room.
• I forgot about having a pretty pen for the guest book until the wedding day. One of my bridesmaids and I ran to the mall all dressed up (veil and all) to buy one at Hallmark.
• Arby's has never tasted so good as when my new brother in law brought us some roast beef sandwhiches before our reception. I hadn't eaten much all day.
• Our first dance was to a Shania Twain song (not my usual taste in music, but I liked the lyrics).
• Someone let my little black dog out of the house during family pictures and he ran straight to my family, who were posed and ready for the photographer, and he laid right down next to us. He was included in the shots.
• I still am in love with my husband!
