Annual Christmas Card Sale

Hey everyone! It's our first Annual Christmas Card Sale and time to start your holiday savings with amazing prices!


Can you guess which little "Dorothy Hamill" I am? If you don't know who Dorothy Hamill is, then you must have been born after the 1976 Olympics or not a big fan of ice skating. In that case, I recommend the ice skating show with Will Ferrel and Napoleon Dynamite--the name of which escapes me at the moment.

Anyhow, in addition to cards, we offer many more custom products including bookmarks, gift tags, Thank You cards, and CANVAS!!! All of which are on sale, so contact us for more info :)

As for the cards, our print lab has a bunch of great templates (click here to view what is available) or we can design a sweet, custom card for you.

Taya: 2010 Senior Rep for Shelley High School

We curly-hair girls have a dilemma, wear it straight or wear it curly. It only works to wear it straight if you have plenty of time to straighten it AND if there is absolutely no humidity in the forecast (you should see my hair when I go to Chicago--it gets bigger and curlier each day)! So why not do a half-session with curly and a half-session with straight? That's the plan for Taya. Our super-cute, spunky Senior-rep for Shelley High School. Check out the curls and watch for the straight!






Did I mention that Taya was up until 2 a.m. the night before her shoot making breakfast for her friends? :)

Nate and Abby Married!!

Nate and Abby first contacted our good friend, Tiffany Rebecca, to shoot their wedding, but because of an emergency, Tiffany was unable to join them for their big day :( Tiffany wished she could have been there to shoot the wedding, but sometimes life happens. Luckily it was the only day that week we were available and Jer and I were happy to jump in for her. You can check out Nate and Abby's awesome engagement sesh on Tiffany's blog--they have the cutest story on how they met. Hugs and luvs to you Tiff!

Much thanks to Nate and Abby and their families for their flexibility and the fun we had. It turned out to be a beautiful day and everything was just perfect! We started out at the beautiful Idaho Falls temple...






Abby's sister made her bouquet








Luckily, there was time for a second location...love it when this happens!




Shot of the day...good one, Jer!


Abby's dress was just gorgeous. It fit her perfectly in every way!


Fierce!


At the reception, everything was decorated in their wedding colors of black, silver, and lime green. Their cake (by Desi's custom cakes) was funky and cool! Every layer had a little icing butterfly hidden somewhere.


What should we name this little guy?


His: Alpine Jewelers, Hers: Kays


Congrats you two!

Senior Sneak Peek: Taya

The Cozy Tree Fall Line

I love fall! It is one of my favorite times of year. I love the way the air smells-- cooking warm, yummy, food, and watching the leaves change colors.

What better way to kick off fall than with a post of The Cozy Tree's fall line of clothing!


I'm not sure what exactly they call this style of dress, but it looks comfy! You can layer it with any kind of t-shirt and dress it up with a sweater.






The nursery line is oh-so-cute! They have bedding for cribs, toddler, and twin beds that are all coordinating!


Receiving blankets and matching burp cloths--I want one of each :)

Justin and Melissa Married!

From the engagements to the big day, getting to know Justin and Melissa has been such a fun journey! They are such an incredible and happy couple--thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding! :)

Justin and Melissa were married August 15th at Rose River Reception Center. Everything was so beautiful! Melissa's sister did a beautiful job on Melissa's hair and put pheasant feathers and pearls in it. Everything had an antique theme and Melissa's mom did all the decorating and made their cake. Melissa's sister and Dad made the yummiest pulled pork (recipe courtesy of Stockman's) and served them on rolls from Texas Roadhouse. The rest of the catering was done by Melissa's step-dad's sisters and nieces--totally amazing food! Melissa's brother-in-law surprised them by doing the entertaining and DJing! He works for A&B productions. It was a perfect day and everything flowed smoothly!

Justin and Melissa chose to see each other ahead of time. It was so nice for them to have that intimate time together without all the stress of the big day!






On the big day, there was a lot of excitement and energy




Justin was cool and relaxed!


The bride was glowing :)


Valerie Grover did the flowers. They had pheasant feathers and wheat in them!


Justin and Melissa got their rings at Ingrams, and according to the bride, "the best place to go--period."




An amazing violinist played before and during the procession
















I can honestly say that this was one of the best ceremonies I've ever attended--it was hilarious!


The best man had a surprise ring for Melissa :)


The bridesmaids were sweet and sassy...




and the groomsmen were silly and studly!






The Father and Bride dance was one of the most tender moments of the day. I was hiding behind the camera with tears in my eyes :)




And that's how it's done!
