The Site is Moving...

Afternoon, folks.  I've been working on a new blog site and I'm ready to move everything over!  It will take me some time to get all of my past posts moved over to the new site, but from now on I will be posting my new posts at

So change your bookmarks and head on over to the new site!  Welcome to my new blogging home.  Kick off your shoes and start browsing around.  See ya over there!

Madison {Individual Portraits}

Finally, I am getting around to putting these photos up on the blog! I was really happy with how these photos turned out, so I'm excited to share them. Madison is such a cute girl and was definitely a ray of sunshine. And her mom is just awesome. Both her and her mom were so full of life.

These photos were taken on her grandpa's property, and what a property! It was so pretty out there and we had such warm sun and a gorgeous blue sky. I couldn't have asked for a better shoot. Thanks, Madison!

Chrystalyn {Bridals}

In true old-fashion, Chrystalyn did not want her hubby-to-be to see her in her wedding dress.  So I have been waiting to post these pictures for weeks now, and since it's finally their wedding day (yay!) here they are in all their glory!  Just kidding.  But I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.  After all, look how gorgeous the bride is!

Mini Sessions Are Almost Over....

Hi all!  Stephanie here.  I just wanted to give you a heads up that mini session are almost over!  If you're still interested, make sure you book by February 29th and complete your session by March 3rd.  Thanks to everyone who has done a mini session with me so far!

Calie & Ryan {Engagements}

I love doing engagement shoots.  They are just so fun!  And this one was no exception.  Calie, Ryan, and I ventured up to Sundance for these photos and found a great little spot near an unused cabin.  And what a gorgeous area!  And they were such good sports even though it was FREEZING!  We were trudging through snow that came up to our knees, but it was so fun.  :)

I thought this was such a cute sign that Calie brought.  What a cute idea!

And I just LOVE the look on Ryan's face in this one.  

♥♥♥  Pure comfort with the one he loves.  ♥♥♥

Jessica {Maternity Portraits}

Here's just a couple of pictures from Jessica's photo shoot earlier this month.  She is just a gorgeous mama-to-be, don't you think?  More pictures to come soon!

My First Collage {Engagements}

So I'm currently taking a Photoshop class with Mike Loveland through Nicole's classes, and I am loving it!  My most recent assignment was to create some kind of collage, so I decided to take photos from a recent shoot and see what I could do.  Here's what I came up with!

Chrystalyn & Michael {Engagements}

I seriously cannot believe how photogenic these two are.  Getting good pictures of this couple was as easy as pie!  Chrystalyn, Michael, and I went tromping all over and had an awesome session.  Bonus: bunches and bunches of great pics.  Congratulations on your engagement, you two!

Color: Blue {DPS Assignment}

OK, so I know it's been a while since I've posted anything for the DPS challenges or assignments, but I'd really like to get back into them!  My schedule has really been full and I just haven't had much time to dedicate to the DPS stuff.  But here goes another try.  This week's assignment was simply to capture the color blue.  I was down in the Riverwoods last week and saw these awesome decorative blue rocks and thought, "There's my blue!"

Logan, I'm coming!

Hey all,

I just wanted to let you know that I'll be in Logan on Saturday, January 21st!  So if you're up that way and want some pictures, let me know.  And don't forget to take advantage of the special mini sessions right now!  (Check out the special offers on my website under the new "SPECIALS" tab!)

Sneak Peek {Chrystalyn & Michael}

Here's a quick peek at the engagement shoot I did today with Chrystalyn and Michael.  Aren't they just a gorgeous couple?
