ConfiDance Club Dance pictures {utah dance teams}

 It was a busy weekend as usual, but I had the opportunity to take dance pictures for Denna who has a fabulous dance studio. ConfiDance Club you can visit it here. http://www.confidanceclub.com/ .
All the girls pictures turned out super cute.Denna also wanted headshots of each of the girls to highlight them on her website etc. That was fun. I love having the opportunity to be creative in posing and not the usual old dance snapshots. I hope the girls will love their pictures and treasure them always.They were all great but I could only choose a few for the blog, here are a few of my favorites from that shoot. For the safety of the girls no names will be released.all images are copyrighted.

Adult male photography

y Brother Brad was here from Texas for the Holidays and really wanted to get some good pictures of himself. Brad wanted some photographs that could represent him as the business man  and other ones that show his personality for facebook and dating sites. Here are a few I liked from this shoot.

He is available ladies. A sweet guy with a lot to offer. :)

I am surprised we even got a shot outside at all. it was snowing like a blizzard when we went out for his outdoor shots. Definately not the texas weather he was use to.

Holiday memories caught on film

I recently had the opportunity to do photographs for a bunch of family members that were in town. It was quite the busy day but we got a lot of great photographs.Here are a few from our session.

I hope everyone had a great holiday with their friends and family.

new option

I have done Dvd slideshows for people for years. But have never offered it as an option with my photography before. because of the time involved. But with new faster equipment it makes it a lot easier to offer. So for those of you that have asked. I am now making it available.  Your dvd will include all your pictures in slideshow format. With  or without music. Senior shoots will also include video clips from their shoot. this is a great memory keepsake for years to come. The best part is the price. Only $10 a dvd. versus the $70 people use to pay me to do one. It is my way of saying thank you for a great shoot. you can also view your video dvd in your client proof section

Lydia {Toddler photography Utah}

Toddler shoots....Boy are they fun and do they ever keep me young. This little girl Lydia was so active I could barely keep up. She did not want to look at me or the camera but boy was she a cutie. I don't think I even got a smile out of her until we brought baby Crew into the room. She was all smiles then.lol.
She was so hilarious putting on loads of necklaces,kicking her ball and running around. I was glad we got some cute shots of her for her parents.

Allred family-" Utah Family photoshoot"

What a great family! They were so much fun to photograph . All of them with such different personalities. We got some great shots,here are a few of my favorites!

                                          Madison
Madison was quite the character when it came to her own pictures. She was pulling vogue poses left and right. Then goofing off for the family ones but she got some great fun pictures of her true personality.

Austin

Like any 13 year old boy he hates getting his picture taken and he hates to smile but we got some really fun shots of him with his skateboard.

SKYLERSkyler loves to play video games, so we had him with his controller. Notice his #1 pose. Can you beat him?
