Take 2: Rex and Cassie Wedding Pics

We hear it all too often..."I hate my wedding pictures". The reasons range from having a bad hair day, to having a family member do the photography, or hiring the "best deal" for a photographer. It is amazing the number of people who tell us how much they wish their wedding pictures turned out better.

Research shows that a bride spends 10 to 30 percent of the wedding budget on photography. The pictures are a lasting memory of a very special day. We absolutely love our own wedding pictures and have made it a priority in our business for our clients to love theirs too.

With our own clients, we work with the couple before the wedding to carefully plan their special day. We love getting to know their personalities at the engagement session and encourage our clients to do their formals ahead of time. If the couple wants a more traditional arrangement, we encourage them to set aside at least 1 hour of time on the wedding day for pictures with just the two of them.

In the case of Rex and Cassie, their pictures were lost shortly after their wedding and the only pictures they have are ones that their friends and family took. You might recognize Rex and Cassie from our "Everybody Has a Story" promotion in June. We had so much fun then that they asked us to do some wedding formals for them.

For couples who are interested in a "Take 2" of their wedding pictures, we are happy to accommodate. Pricing for the session is about the same as an engagement and as with all of our packages, we include prints in the pricing.

On to the sesh!

Let's start and end the post with a ring shot!

On our wedding day, Jeramy carried my bouquet more than I did! Good to see that Rex got the memo!

Family Pics: Dan and Laura

These are our good friends and neighbors, Dan and Laura, and their boys. We headed off to the local skate park one Saturday morning for a bit of photo-fun.

My Cousin Melissa and Her Family

Lucky you--this is Jeramy again. I wanted to write this post since Melissa is my cousin.

Melissa and her family currently reside in California and when they came to visit for the summer, they were gracious enough to let us torture them for a family portrait session. The amazing thing about one of the locations that we shot at, was that it would not have been cool two days later. We found a field full of big milkweeds, and two days later a huge wind storm came through and the milkweed tops were all blown away--so good timing for us.

Well, I could tell you all about Melissa and us growing up together--let's see, there is the "Church Door" story---or the "No Bears are Out Tonight" story--but I will save Melissa some embarassment and tell you what a great cousin and person she is. We always got along well growing up, and now she has such a great family. How she is as a mother really reflects in her kids--these were three of the most polite cooperative kids. Her youngest boy has autism and their family is so good with him--they are all patient and kind. It was fun to wacth them interact.

We are excited to go to California this next week to see her and her family. Thanks Melissa, you guys were great!!

One of my favorite shots of the day--it was so cool to see them playing--big brother was always helpful to little brother. One of his favorite things to do was throw rocks into the water--so he helped him find lots of rocks to throw.

Another favorite shot--what a cute family!!

Senior Pics: Shyenne

Meet Shyenne! This lovely young lady is also a 2010 Senior Rep for Rigby High School.
se_038

Seniors, don't forget to book your session early! We will be done with shoots for the fall by mid-October because we've got a baby due in early November! :)

On to the sesh! It was SOOO much fun! Shyenne had such diverse outfit changes so each look could have been a session all by its self. We hung out downtown for an urban look and to make the most of our time.

I love capturing a moment when the camera is forgotten...

Shyenne loves to dance en pointe--which means dancing on your tip toes--aka torture. I tried it once when I wanted to grow up and be a ballerina...and lasted 2 whole seconds.

She is so graceful! It was a highlight of the shoot to watch her dance. :)
