Flattered

I was very flattered today. I printed a copy of the tulip picture below this week and the lab I ordered it from asked if they could use the picture in their marketing efforts. I'm glad they liked my work.

2008 Gallery Book

2008-12-11T19:10:00.000-08:00

I recently submitted a "portfolio" book of some of my favorite pictures of the year to the publisher I use for my clients' photo books. It includes some of my nature, portrait, and wedding photos. You can click on the link to it on the right if you'd like to see it:

I was very excited by the following comments I got back from the publisher:

"Thank you for your order. Your book was such a pleasure to review. I have to mention that your photography stands out above the rest...from your nature to your weddings, I am truly impressed by your talent."

It's nice to have your work appreciated.

My Story

2008-05-29T14:25:00.000-07:00

I grew up in Sandy, UT and attended Hillcrest and Cottonwood High Schools. I went to BYU, where I received a very practical and left brain Master's degree in accounting. I have been married for 5 years, and have two beautiful children. My husband is finishing up his PhD in Pharmaceutical R&D and is starting medical school at the UofU this fall. I'm very proud of him.

After working as an accountant for 10 years, I now do some accounting consulting work on the side and, of course, photography. I love doing something that allows me to be creative. I've included some of my favorite shots.

I started taking pictures as a hobby. Inspired by a friend who took some family photos for us with his new Ditigal SLR camera, I decided to buy one too, and have been snapping and learning ever since.

My interest in wedding photography began when my sister-in-law asked me to shoot her wedding. I agreed, with some trepidation. Rather than having it turn out to be the stressful event that I expected, I had a really fun time taking the photos, and discovered I have a knack for it. She was thrilled with the pictures, and I was happy with the results. Her in-laws even made the comment that they had paid $1000 for a professional photographer for one of their other children and the photos turned out half as good as the ones I took.

I just bought a Nikon D300 DSLR camera (which I'm very excited about) and purchased some other photographic and lighting equipment to make my pictures even better.
