A few days ago Brenda and I decided to do a little photo shoot with the girl in the pretty fall leaves. The colors have been so beautiful in Salt Lake City this year and I have loved shooting pictures in them. I am pretty sure I have the cutest subjects to take pictures of!
This year Paige was Alice, and I have to say she was perfect. It was so fun to go trick-or-treating with the Queen of Hearts (Bridget) They were serious troopers and trick-or-treated for almost 2 hours! Where did my baby girl go!?!? Try not to die from cuteness overload…
Yep…that is a bat bokah! Amazing right!!! Brenda and I had so much fun playing with it! xoxo, OHHH EMMMM GEEEE! You girls did a smash-up job with the costumes, the girls look sooo great. I looked out the window this morning and saw snow. I love snow, but I am so sad that Fall is about over. I am sure this snow will melt and we will have a few more weeks of nice weather but I crave those crisp fall days. Since I am feeling so melancholy I have decided to have a family portrait sale. All family sessions are now only $200 (normally $350) That includes your session and $100 credit to be used towards prints, christmas cards or albums. Pictures make great Christmas gifts. This sale only lasts for one week so if you are interested let me know! Speaking of family pictures, here is a session of one of my favorite families in the world. Aren’t my nephews and niece the cutest!
xoxo Tonya, these are awesome!!! Thank you so much! I am so very excited that Jen at Green Wedding Shoes featured our fun and unique co-ed wedding shower yesterday. We are so grateful that she loved it as much as we did. If you think this wedding shower rocks, please head over to GWS and leave a comment about it. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if a comment was left on this blog too. xoxo
They are times in life when you come up with an idea that you know is a winner. While brainstorming this shoot was one of those moments. As I was sitting around with my cousin and my sister one day this summer, we were trying to come up with a unique idea for a stylized shoot. We wanted something different than you see in every bridal magazine. My cousin Emily had these amazing wood sunglasses she got from Proof Sunglasses in Idaho. We started talking about how cool they were and the idea for the Retro Hipster co-ed wedding shower was born. We decided to build these shoot around the sunglasses. The concept was for a hip, trendy shower that would appeal to men and women. The sunglasses provided the right inspiration because Proof makes glasses for men and women. We used the glasses as the favors and as part of the invitations, menu and on other signs around the shoot. We had wonderful models who were making us laugh all night. That along with a handful of amazing vendors made for a very special shoot. I have been waiting to post these beauties for 3 weeks and I am so please to finally get to publish them. They have also been published on Green Wedding Shoes and we are thrilled to be featured on such a beautiful wedding blog! How much do you love our models Thank you SO MUCH to my amazing cousins Emily Fonnesbeck & Megan Ballou for doing the amazing clothes styling.
Of course the amazing bamboo sunglasses were provided by Proof Sunglasses.
Jewelry was provided by one of my besties Jazlyn from Ruby Sweetheart Jewelry
We had 2 wonderful girls on hair and makeup. The makeup was done by Jillyn Neslen and our hair stylist for the day was Heather Green. These girls had a tall order going through 10 models in such a short amount of time. Well done!
Ashley Lloyd of Attention 2 Detail did an amazing job turning my vision into a reality.
The beautiful cake was made by Bayshore Cakes. I loved the colors!!!
The tasty treats were made by the ever fabulous Sara Aston. They were delicious.
We had to have a signature cocktail.
I have wanted to work with Melissa Nickle of Blossom Sweet even before I moved back to Utah. She has an amazing vision for flowers and I LOVE what she came up with for the shoot.
All of the amazing paper products were designed by Brandi Webb of Alexis June Creative. She did such a wonderful job and she was such a help the day of the shoot! Thanks girl!
