Kaleigh's Seniors!

Kaleigh is a fun, sweet senior at LHS. I really enjoyed photographing her. She was a natural and I love the location. I really enjoyed meeting her and look forward to doing her family portraits as well. Thanks Kaleigh! You're a sweetheart.

Alice & Chris_Invitations

This is a totally new design unlike anything I've ever done. They decided to go postcard all the way - no stamp necessary. I think it matches their personalities and their colors wonderfully. They are so bubbly and full of life and energy. Love you guys!


this is the insert card for those invited to the sealing

WHY SUCH GREAT DEALS?

My husband’s motorcycle blew over in the big wind storm last week. It has a broken brake and some other stuff. He’s already working 2 very physically hard jobs and is bummed out that we’ll have to pay even more for gas to get to work.

I have been doing photography & design for 8 years and never had an unhappy customer. He works hard, so I can stay home with my kids. I want to surprise him with the money to fix it as soon as possible. I do not advertise other than word of mouth, so please pass along these great deals to your friends and help us reach our goal. Thanks!

Check out package options HERE.

Talk to you soon! Please refer your friends! Thanks, Livia :)

Wyatt's Blessing Pics

We blessed him last week, but I just barely got his pics done. I am in love with that little smile. It makes my heart so happy whenever I see it. He can make me happy on the hardest day when he smiles and talks /sque

Call Family Reunion

My husband's mother's family came from all over the country and we had a fun reunion. Of course, I did the pictures. It was so much fun to see them and watch our kids play with new found cousins.

The Nye Family

Tanaya, Cody and their 3 boys are in my ward. They're a fun and adventurous family. We had a great time shooting. To me they are a great example of a happy marriage after 12 years! Cody said he'd forgotten how to flirt, but I do believe some of the images prove otherwise. Thanks- you are so fun!

Working with my lights

I've been familiarizing myself with the studio lights. I got some cute pics of the kids, but I'm still working on the setup. Here's some of the pics







Teylor did this one to surprise Barry, she was so excited!

My Kids!

Lot's of Variety

I've done several different things in the past month, here's some of my favorites:

This is Ali, she's an adorable 6 year old girl full of life and excitement.



I did Senior pics for Brigham. He's an awesome guy in my ward. He will do well in life.
His sister Rebekah came to be an assistant and we got some cute pics while he was changing.


Marci & Chris moved the wedding date up, so we had to hurry and shoot some engagements. They'll be married in just over a month. They're a cute couple and way fun to work with.


Then there's me. I'll be having my third child in the next month. I always get a photo of me very pregnant, so when they say, "mommy, what did you look like when you had me?" I'll have a decent picture to give them. Things have been crazy and I don't feel ready yet, but I don't have much energy left and lots of pain to move...This isn't my best picture, but our friend Brandon came and shot it for me in my "studio" (in progress - i need more lights before I'll be happy with it.)
I love being able to give people something to remember forever.

Open House Postcard

Here's a postcard I recently did for an open house.

Studio Test 2

My cousin and his wife came up with their little girl to play and we got these shots. They turned out cute, but I definately need more lights and I think I want hot lights, so I don't have to worry about the flash recycle time. More research and testing I suppose.

More Recent Design Samples

I have yet to learn web design, so I have uploaded some more current samples here:

I'll try to update that occasionally and be better at the blog.

Helping out for Breast Cancer!

I finished the poster for the motorcycle auction and I really like it.

I also created a mini portfolio with samples for display at the auction and donated 2 free sittings with portrait packages, and 2 10x10 designer gallery prints.

The auction is tomorrow. I hope they meet their goal of $9000. It seems they had lots of support and I imagine they will far exceed it.

A Studio in Progress :)

I finally ordered some studio equipment. I've been wanting to for a long time, but I don't really have anywhere to put it all. Pam agreed that I could setup in her loft if I pay her when I shoot. Now being 6 1/2 months pregnant, in school, mother of 3 and having over 3 feet of snow and a hubby working nights and sleeping in the day, I decided the time was here that I just do it. I recieved my things on Tuesday and finally set them up today and Teylor was being cute to let me test it out. Space is limited and I need to rearrange a bit. I only got to take a few shots, but it got me very excited! I hope we can now do our family pics soon as well. Here's my first attempt!
