Kiirsten and Brian | utah family photographer

Thursday, July 22, 2010

You may remember Larissa and her cousin Denita. Well, they found me by way of my exceptionally beautiful friend Kiirsten. Kiirsten is one of those friends that when I met her I knew immediately we would become lifelong friends. She is one of the kindest persons I know. Seriously. She’s so sweet you may get a cavity from drinking in her energy. Ok, not really but you will be refreshed from absorbing her sunshine. I always feel great after spending time with her.

She’s happily married to a lucky guy and they have a darling family together. You can easily see how happy they are together and because she’s happy – I’m happy.

Hard work pays off | utah fitness photographer

Wednesday, June 23, 2010

My little sister-in-law Lindsey has always been into sports and fitness. In fact, she’s a great personal trainer but it wasn’t until on a whim she decided she wanted to participate in a natural figure competition that she really took her training to the next level. The day after she made her decision she began what most people would describe as pure hell. Training hard and eating a strict diet designed to turn her into a lean, mean, little muscle machine.

Her dedication was inspiring. She stuck to her workouts, but even more inspiring (to me) is her dedication to the strict healthy diet designed by natural body builder Layne Norton. I mean the girl didn’t even cheat through Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Her hard work paid off though. About 6 months after she began training she did turn into that little lean, mean, muscle machine. We conducted two photo sessions to celebrate her hard work – one portrait session to show off her hot lean body and another in the gym to showcase her ripped muscles.

By the way, if you’re looking for a great personal trainer send me an email and I’ll put you in contact with her. You won’t be sorry.

Doesn’t she look amazing?!

Good things in life | utah family and pet photographer

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

Of course there are many good and beautiful things in life. I dare say that most of you will agree some of the best things in life are moms and doggies. So when I was contacted by sweet Machelle to photograph not only her and her sweet mom but also both of their adorable puppies, I was very happy! Machelle bought the session as a gift to her mom — what a thoughtful gift and a wonderful way to capture the love they all share. Pooches included.

I love when families bring their pets to their photo session. In this next one you can totally tell who the little sweet girl is, and who the ham is! Love it!

And these last two totally crack me up! I like to call this my telling the joke series:

In the first, doesn’t he look like he’s saying, “No way! Then what happened?”

At which time I would deliver the punch line and in the second you can see his reponse.

He’s totally saying, “Bwahaha, oh Shay. You ARE so funny!”

Yes, I’m a dork. I know. It’s ok!

Until next time,

Referrals receive free prints | utah family photographer

Wednesday, May 12, 2010

Ok. I know I’m like, the worst blogger. I’ll spare you a lengthy explanation of why I disappear for weeks on end but basically, I’m busy y’all. Life is busy. But life is beautiful too.

So, today’s feature blog post is showcasing a darling group. The kids decided great Mother’s Day presents would be to surprise their moms with updated family photos. How stinkin’ cute it that?! I guarantee all the moms were thrilled. I mean, c’mon, what mom wouldn’t be excited to receive photos of their kids? Answer: they all would be thrilled to get darling photos of their kids!

I love when past clients refer their friends and family to me. This group was referred to me by Jamie from this post. By the way, did y’all know I have a referral program? If you refer your friends and family to me, you receive a free print on your next session! And I do all the heavy lifting by keeping your credits on file so you don’t have to worry about remembering – I do it for you automatically. Sweet, right?

Until next time,
~Shay

Do you realize Mother’s Day is less than 2 weeks away?! Don’t know what you’re going to get your sweet mom? Men, don’t know what you’re going to get your wife? Family portraits make a wonderful and usually unexpected gift!
