tune in. laugh at me.


sometimes I really wonder how I get myself into these messes. But yes. I will be doing segment on KSL’s STUDIO 5 this friday (show airs at 11:00 am). I will be discussing PHOTOGRAPHY, particularly, how to find/what makes a good background, both indoor and out, as well as how to set up some DIY indoor backgrounds. Basically, the idea is to help moms take better pictures of their kids with the help of a few tips!

So here’s the thing. I normally wouldn’t take the time to announce to the world that I’m about to make a complete fool of myself ( I like to keep the public humiliation factor to a minimum), but I am asking for a little help from all you photo enthusiasts out there! We are in the process of putting together the dialog of the show with some of the producers, so what I want to know is…

WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? what would you like to know how to do with backgrounds. Is there anything specific you would want to see discussed on the show?
Please share. No question is to basic or complicated. So let’s hear it!

Oh. and I am also accepting advice on what I should wear. Or how to do my hair. Or how not to look chunky….? Or how not to trip, drool, forget my name, you know. That sort of thing. Anyone want to go shopping this week??!

Just wanted to drop a note to say that I’m off spending some time with my people in the great North West and will be out of the office (so to speak)  for over a week! I won’t come back empty handed though, I promise to bring plenty of pictures of my own, as well as a few fun family shoots and a wedding! We will back before you know it and if I have a sec, I’ll try to post an update. I’m hoping one of these days I will be able to get this blog caught up- I still haven’t posted my last TWO weddings and my most recent family shoot! Sheesh. What a slacker. 

we all scream for ice cream.

This shoot was so much fun! It started out great, but after a while, Robby was DONE. He was pretty much sick of me in his face with my camera. We decided a treat was just the thing, and it was…. for a little while. The ice cream dropped, and it was over after that. Robby was devastated! I guess there’s no need to cry over spilled milk, but spilled ice cream? A whole different story.

the second one bites the dust. the straw that broke the camel’s back. notice the ice cream 
on his head!

mama making it better.
Before the ice cream…
