Last session of the year


I've been home this week with my hubby. He had knee surgery on Monday and everything went well. Thank you to everyone who were praying for us! He is recovering well.

So today I am back at work for a few hours and I had my last session of the year!
Abby and Amy came in for Abby's 8 month session. She is so adorable! The biggest blue eyes you've ever seen. She loved the Christmas lights! (so much that she kept trying to eat them)



I also want to thank everyone that has come to our studio this year! We truly believe that we have the best clients in the world! We consider so many of you family and friends and we just want to thank you for being a part of our lives!
We look forward to a wonderful new year with all of you!
Love,
Jackie, Andrew, Barb and Penny!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!!

Good luck girls!

One Cool Cat



This is Jamison and he's awsome! Andrew photographed this high school senior and couldn't stop talking about how cool he was. He said he was fun to work with and a super nice guy! Jamison is a drummer and was named after the dummer from the Allman Bros. Here are some more images from his session!

The Huckleberry Railroad

Well, did we get all that snow that they predicted?
No, we got maybe an inch of snow and an inch of ice. We were lucky not to get all that snow. We got just enough that it looks really beautiful outside.




This weekend, the Palmer family ventured out to Crossroads Village and went on the Huckleberry Railroad! This was my first time to this place, and I thought it was so great! The lights were beautiful, and the train ride was fun! This is a great place to take the kids. My nieces loved the train and all the lights that we saw.
There is even a store that is filled with all trains! I have never seen so many Thomas trains in my life! But all the kids in there were having so much fun playing!

Click here to go to their website and get their schedule for Christmas!

P.S. Make sure you bring all your winter gear! This is not an indoor adventure!

Let it Snow!


In the next 2 days, we are supposed to get 15 inches of snow! I hope they are wrong. Last year, they predicted something similar to this and we got an inch.
So, you never know!



We are running a gift certificate special for Christmas! For every $100 you spend, you receive a $25 bonus gift card. This special will go until December 22nd!
All gift certificates may be used on new sessions only.

Baby, It's COLD Inside!

For the past week and a half, our studio has been without heat! While Andrew and I were in Utah, the boiler died. We were lucky that Penny and Barb were here to hear the smoke alarms go off, otherwise they say that this place would have gone up in flames!
So, we have been behind closed doors in our rooms with individual space heaters trying to keep warm. Jackets and gloves required!

Hopefully Monday we will have some relief!

BRRRR

Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas!




Halloween is the only day that you don't take a second look at the guy in the lane next to you that is wearing a clown outfit while driving his BMW:)
On my way home last night, every other car was driven by Batman, a Clown, The Strong Man or a Witch! I think I saw more adults dressed up than kids!
We had fewer trick-or-treaters than normal and more teenagers than normal. But it was fun to see all the costumes!

Today, we are getting ready for Christmas! When you have a photography studio, you're always celebrating Christmas for 2 or 3 months out of the year. I'm going to take my Christmas shopping trip to all the craft stores tonight and see what I can come up with this year for a Christmas set.

Have a good day!

Salt Lake City!


Andrew and I got back from Salt Lake City, Utah Wednesday night! We spoke at the IPPA convention on Tuesday afternoon. We had a great time and met some amazing photographers. We especially wanted to thank Allison Watkins for showing us around Salt Lake and being the best tour guide around! We hope to make it back there again and spend more time. What an amazingly beautiful place! Allison took us up to were she lives and WHAT A VIEW! From her living room you have a view of the mountains that is to die for! She is one lucky lady!

Jim and Stephanie



Congratulations to Jim and Steph!
The snow melted and the sun came out for this lucky couple! It was a gorgeous day and a wonderful wedding.
The highlights of the wedding for me were watching the flower girls do the Tango
down the halls of the church, the hard work of the Bridesmaides helping Steph get her dress on, the father of the bride tearing up before they walked down the aisle, the slideshow that made Jim tear up while watching baby pictures and family memories, and how Steph and Jim were up on this hill on the golf course freezing just to get that perfect shot! The reception was stunning and everyone danced along while Grandma and Grandpa cut a rug!




Thank you for a wonderful day Jim and Steph!
Congrats!

Snow?

We heard that there was going to be snow today, but this is not what we had in mind! This morning it was just a dusting.




After my session at 11:30 this is what it looked like outside!



Yesterday it was a gorgeous 60 degree Fall day, and now it's Winter!
It's still beautiful!
Enjoy shoveling!

Rain, Rain...


It has been raining for days and frankly I've had about enough!
Fall is here early and I'm worried that all this rain is going to bring down
the leaves even quicker than normal. So everyone join me in singing...
Rain, Rain go away
Come back another day!

Here are just a few that I have photographed this past year!
Have a great weekend,

Keeping In Touch!

Welcome to our Blog!
It's about time that we start keeping in better touch with all of you! We will be keeping you up to date with specials, promotions, stories about us and our clients.

To start, I just want to say that we have had an amazing summer! We had a busy Senior Season, with some really cool kids! I can't believe all the things they are into! I don't know how they have time to fit it all in. Sports, Work, School, Music, Travel, and Mission Trips! I wish I could see half the things these 17 year olds have already seen. They are so blessed!

We have also had so many NEW babies come in this summer. It's always fun to photograph them in their first few months and then watch how quickly they grow up! So much personality walks through the doors of our Children's Studio! If you only knew how much fun I have everyday! I love it!

Well here are a few images from this summer. I hope you enjoy them!
Keep coming back for more. I may even give away a few gift cards! You never know!

Jackie
