Hawaii here we come.

Today’s game revealed the winners that move on to regionals in Hawaii. That’s us. Celtic Storm! U12 was drawn the wild card so they take 2 teams to the playoffs. We still have our game next Saturday to determine first and second but as for now I am finding every avenue to pay for this wonderful dream, along with Bryn’s help :) We are still in need of filling more spots on the mini sessions for June 1st and 8th times that are still open are. I have the exact same times open on both days. 4:00, 5:30, & 7:00. At this time we need to raise about $5000. These mini sessions will get $2000 if I fill them all up. If you don’t want a mini you can book a regular session. Or you can just donate money to us I’ll take it.

Now you could be asking why didn’t we do fundraising or saving up until now. Well, let me answer that question for ya. We had to be first place to even go. In the regular season our biggest competitor is Sparta and in the fall we won them 4-0 but in the spring we lost 1-0 …tight game. We just didn’t know for sure. Okay, but you still could have saved. Your right, but times are tough and it has hit us pretty hard right now. We just haven’t been able to save…your getting the honest Jess :) and that’s what I’m about. Please, please book your session!!!!! You will not regret it.

***I will be in Hawaii June 15-24th so I won’t have openings for those dates.

Photography Tip 101: Golden Hour

 Many photographers ask me how I get such good skin tones and light. I’ve had to think about this and my best answer is the time of day I shoot for particular locations. This particular location, Star Mill,  I knew I could start at 3:00 and be just fine with light but this night we started at 5:00 the sun sets at about 8 or 9 in the summer. So, for me shooting at the golden hour isn’t always golden :) Click here for another session I did at the same location at 3:00 pm. Scroll all the down you will see a session that I shot at the Golden Hour.

Clothes: Persnickety

Model: Cute little Lennon…don’t you love her name?!

This is just before sunset…referred to as the Golden Hour. As you can see the lighting is different. I like this time of shooting but not all the time. Also, it really only lasts an hour, you have to be quick to get what you want.

These 2 shots below I used a reflector so I could more light on her face.

Barnard Family all the way from the Middle East

I love family sessions in the spring, when we have good weather to do it. We were pretty lucky to have great weather the day we scheduled the session. The days before it rained if and I remember right it rained the day after. Utah spring weather is just crazy.

Heather and Jared it was great to meet you guys and talk about travel, maybe I will get the chance to take that plunge :)
