Photo booth at the Delta Center: Utah photo booths

Jon felt Deron Willaims as we drove up to the front doors of the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. It was my first time to be in the stadium-ever! I know growing up in Utah I should have been to a game by now. Infact I don’t know why I haven’t..my mom is an avide Jazz fan. I think maybe she was banned from the Delta center for her avid cursing at the judges and never told me about it, and that’s why she’s never taken me. Even though the Jazz are on the road, it was an amazing experience to be able to do a photo booth up in the skybox. We set up the photo booth so that in one corner you could have your photo shot out over the arena and in the other corner you could do it on our white backdrop. I love all the shots. But I must admit it was amazing to shoot over the stadium. The students from LDS BC know how to rock a party!









Bountiful Wedding: Utah Wedding Photography

One thing you should know about me is that I’m horrible with names. I am trying so hard to be better with this! I know how important it is to remember names. I’ve read the first chapter of How to Win Friends and Influence People. Still I struggle! When I was young original names were easy for me to remember. I still can remember the first Quincy, Bo, and Van that I meet in grade school. Now that I’m older learning a new name is like trying to learn Chinese. Or trying to remember the Chinese I’ve learned. It’s hard! So when I first started to talk to Kedrick it was over email. And I read his name Keedrick. So I kept calling him KEYdrick. I must apologize to him! To make matters worse during my last photo shoot I kept calling Christian–Kedrick…I finally started to say Kedrick. But, of coarse, it was with the wrong person! I’m working on this. I’m setting a goal to be better. I love these photos of Kedrick and…….Ok, so I know her name is Krystal but I don’t know how to spell it. Spelling is one of my other really weak points. Cristal, Kristal, Crystal, hummmm….I even tried to find an email with it in it… I just hope that they can find it in their hearts to overlook my faults!

Teresa’s Engagements: Utah Engagement Photography

It might look like the beach but be warned, its beauty is only skin deep. It has the bitter brine of the Great Salt Lake. Somehow extreme but beautiful weather conditions seem to love Teresa. The last time I hung out with her was on a road trip. We squeezed her, my great friend Michelle, and I into my little Nissan truck. It was a blazing day in summer with two window air conditioning. It was beautiful but scorching hot. Today it was beautiful, but it was also a wind storm. No amount of aqua net was going to be able to control Teresa’s hair today! That said, her hair was gorgeous! She definatly knows how to rock the wind blown look.
She’s a cute little bag or potatoes! Love the way the her hair is blowing in the wind!

How to lose ten pounds in one photo!

Julie, my sister, and I have been very close despite the difference of eight years in age.  She has been my mentor, and I’ve been imittating her since I was one.  She is a great business woman and owner of Cosmo Cricket Scrapbook Products.  For years we have talked like best friends.   And inevitably, like any two girls, we discus how we are going to make our very voluptuous Rubenisc bodies into the more modern petite Degasisc ballet dancer bodies.  Julie is always telling me the latest diet she is trying.  I take very good notes that I decide to eat with chocolate later.  As we both struggle with this war that has plagued women for decades, I mentioned to Julie there are a few tricks to deceive a photo into making you look like you have lost ten pounds.  This is a much better trick than the gaining ten pounds that the camera usually adds!  And since I know that as women; we are always struggling to lose that extra ten pounds that we gained in college, after we had that baby, we need to lose before summer…you get the idea.  These are handy to have up your sleeve.
Julie was a great sport to pose for these photos.  We hurried and snapped them in the five minute interval that we overlapped down at my mom’s house.  Seriously, I got there late and she was already asleep and then she left bright and early in the morning.  I was literally running around convincing her we could squeeze it in somewhere between Jack crying to take home his rock collection and Kate and Abby’s pigtails.

  • good posture
  • show your smallest point (waist) and a waist turned to the side is even smaller!
  • keeps arms up and away keeping them thin and defining your waist
  • use depth of field to your advantage
  • shoot above when able
  • put weight on leg farthest from camera
PS. I’ve been thinking of doing other tips in future blogs.  Maybe something along the lines of how to use natural light beautifully, how to take good photos with a point and shoot, how to pose couples, how to make your own photo back drops, different tips in Photoshop.  If you have any suggestion let me know.  

Wedding Expectations:Vendor of the Month

It was a frantic blur of Beckys.  Becky was getting married.  Becky from Wedding Expectations had planned the wedding.  And I, Becky, was taking photos.  You should have been there for our first meeting.  I felt like I was back in grade school and should start going by Becky R so people could distinguish me from the other Beckys.  Both Beckys were splendid to work with!  And I really want to thank Becky from Wedding Expectations for making me the Vendor of the month.  We make a great team!  Check out her website at weddingexpectations.com/.

Park City Wedding!

Rebecca and Noah are simply the cutest together! Rebecca simply lights up when she sees him. The Kimball art center in Park City was the perfect backdrop for their special day. This was my first experience shooting a Jewish wedding. The ceremony was so sacred, peaceful and beautiful. I was so glad that I could be a part of capturing that!

Photo booth photos to come! This is what our photo booth set up looks like, in case any of you were wondering.
