Once upon a time I made a leap of faith and decided, quite abruptly, that I needed to move.  All the stars aligned and I ended up living in an old brick home with shutters on Oak Lane in Provo, Utah. It turned out that one of my neighbors was Lisa, and that alone was reason…

I once heard that the Huntsman Family has an employee whose sole responsibility is to coordinate the massive extended family photo they do as well as manage the Christmas card production and distribution that contains the photo. You might think that is a bit excessive, but anyone who has tried to coordinate an extended family photo…

Anyone who knows Mindy and Justin knows just how lucky they are to count them as friends. One time when I was in Utah visiting from Texas Mindy threw my daughter Sydney her 3rd birthday party at their house. On top of the birthday party it ended up also being an open house for me to…

Lizzy’s senior pictures! This Boise High Senior only has 5 days of school left! She is Utah bound for college where she will be studying at the University of Utah, a family tradition. She will have quite the head start because she has loaded up on AP classes taking 6 just in this last semester!…

Many years ago, ahem, more years than I care to count, I was a Senior Rep for Reflections Photography in Manhattan, Kansas. Out of curiosity I googled this studio to see if they are still around and there is a Reflections Photography in that same area, but it’s not the same photographer. I wonder what…

So what exactly is a photo party you ask? I was wondering the same thing recently. My husband told me about a photographer that lived near where he used to live in Washington who did Photo Parties all the time that became quite the rage and so I thought I’d give it a whirl. In…
