Portrait Sale + I am coming back to Utah

05.15.11

Hi friends. I am so excited to be visiting my family in Utah starting May 27th. I will be there for a week and I have time for 2 or 3 sessions while I am there. I am also running a special for portrait sessions. Sessions will be $250 and you have two choices. You can either choose 20 of your favorite shots on a disc ready to print or you can choose to have a $150 print credit that can be used through my online ordering and printing. If you are interested in doing this please contact me! And because a post is boring without pictures, here are a few of Paige I shot a few weeks ago. I dare say she is pretty adorable!

Photography II Class in Roswell

04.06.11

Hi friends. I have felt so privileged to be able to teach photography classes. It is one of the best parts of my job and I am so excited to teach more and more. I am so excited to offer a new class in Roswell that continues where the last class left off. If you didn’t talk the last class, but feel comfortable with shooting manually this class will be great for you. We will be learning more about lighting and composition, as well as mastering color zone system. We will also be shooting a lot more. I have planned a model shoot that will be a wonderful portfolio builder. The price for this class is 175.00. If you are interested in this class please email me right away. I am limiting this class to only 6 people. So if you want a spot please email me ASAP!  info@tonyapeterson.com

If you can’t make this class or would like to take the Basics of Photography class I teach private lessons as well. Please email me for dates and pricing!

 

xoxo,

Aisle Candy is MAJOR Eye Candy

02.28.11

I sometimes (ok all the time!) wish I was getting married again. Not to a new person of course, but just another big beautiful wedding. Brides now have so many great resources and ideas floating the internet that we didn’t have 6 years ago when I got married. I am quite jealous. One of the majorly beautiful wedding blogs out there is Aisle Candy. They are a fairly new blog and when I first stumbled across their site I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I just loved everything about it so I decided to advertise on there. This morning the owner of Aisle Candy wrote a sweet little post introducing Tonya Peterson Photography as a new sponser. I am so grateful to be a part of a great blog and also for the friendship I have formed with Katie. Please head on over there and leave her bunches of comments! Make sure you have a while to stay on the blog because it is gorgeous!

being a kid

02.22.11

My house is a hot mess right now. If you know me personally at all you will know that I am NOT the housekeeping type. At all. But this hot mess I am in right now might trump every other mess I have ever made. I am going to 100% blame it on my house flooding. Yes. I love that idea.  Well ok I guess that was just the catalyst that propelled me into the situation I am in now. So one might ask, why are you blogging when you could be cleaning? Well I can think of about a million, but the best reason is I shot some adorable pictures of Paige blowing bubbles today and I wanted to share them.

I am always amazing at how much kids go crazy for bubbles. I think the best investment I will ever make will be an automatic bubble machine that can be turned on and Paige can be let loose…must write that on my shopping list. As I was taking pictures of Paige today the thought crossed my mind of just how sweet and innocent she really is. I envied her attitude towards her care free life and longed to feel the same way again. Here is the question though…why can’t I feel the same way? I have an amazing 3 year old who would LOVE it if I would act like a kid with her once in a while. So my goal for this week is to make some Paige time and forget my ever growing to do list. How great it is to have a reason to act like a kid.

Joy

I love this post! How we all need to be reminded of that… going back to our youth. It was a grand time of carefree living, relying totally on your parents to take care of everything. In the same way we should rely on our Father to take care of everything as we live a life of freedom and bliss. :) I love you beautiful!
