I want CAAANDY!

Cue Aaron Carter song now... Haha! Anyway fast forward to today and then I promise I will post super soon on what I've been doing the last two months cause it has just been CRAZY! Crazy in a good way... well mostly;)

Today I got to get together with my cute photographer friend and play around with some ideas, that hopefully we will be doing more of soon, they are a little different than what Makira and I do on a regular day of shooting but we have both wanted to try out some more fashion forward ideas sooooo..... Here ya go!

Makira has a fun studio in her basement that we played with and then played outside, you can check out Makira's photography and pictures on Facebook. Her photographer information is Makira Photo and Print. Makira has a dress renting thing she has been doing for high school girls so we threw a dress on me and some crazy fun, candy; yes candy, make-up for our fashion forward shoot, so with that said I hope you enjoy and there will be more to come don't you worry;) and no I will not be modeling again ha!

Yes, that icing and sprinkles did dye my eyebrows...;)

Color version...

Don't mind the fact that I look like a creep... Not a model haha!

Hope you liked our fun little shoot, more to come soon...

Meet Morgan...

I wasn't going to post until tomorrow but then I realized how long it had been and also the fact that I did have to finish up some Cyber shopping;)
Christmas is coming and I am not even half way done.. UGH!!! I always feel like every year I want to do fun Christmas things and be with friends and family and yet I get sucked into every free moment I have is spent shopping for gifts or sleeping from exhaustion... It's definitely my most busy time of year!
Hopefully I will be able to get most of my Christmas done as soon as possible and enjoy the Christmas part;)
So my cute Morgan has started a fashion blog of all her cute outfits and what not, it is going to be an everything blog, I believe, but with just a tad more fashion into it! I love it and her and have obviously taken tons of pictures of her over the years and told her anytime she wanted pictures for her blog, or anything for that matter, that I would love to do them. It gives her super cute pictures and more practice for me!
We headed up American Fork canyon to take pictures at Tibble Fork Reservoir the day before Thanksgiving to catch some of the snow, we got up at 7:30am and boy was it freezing cold! I have wanted to shoot there for, forever and have some fun shoots I will be doing up there for fun and what not (and then obviously post on the blog). So with those shoots coming I wanted to go look and test it out, IT WAS PERFECT... I loved it and how they turned out... So here is my cute Morgan, her blog is A Fashion Paige and here are some pictures!

Just love the water and snow, I can't wait to shoot more here!

My gorgeous Morgan! Go visit her blog...

Camera Shy has been Frozen over...

I think in the last post I said that I had started working as a photographer at a studio called Camera Shy, in Lehi. It's been rewarding, challenging, fun, and most of all a huge learning experience. Even since the last time I shot to what I shoot now, and it's been all of maybe 5 months, I can see huge differences and I love it. It will always have ups and downs but there's something incredible, and that's not even the perfect word to describe it, but when you find a job that isn't just a job and it becomes a career that you can see yourself loving forever it's pretty cool.

So on that note, we obviously got to dress up for Halloween, because who wouldn't want to duh! ;) My cute little second mom spent hours and hours, probably more like days and days, on my seriously incredible costume. It turned out way better then I could have ever imagined and she sewed the WHOLE thing it was seriously perfect though! You could say I was just a tad happy ;) Haha! We will be taking more pictures in the Winter with it for sure! Something to make Winter a little better, boo Winter! Anyway, we had some photographers take pictures of all of us and one of them took some just of my character at Camera Shy, if you want some seriously cute pictures go there!

Here is Camera Shy Frozen over...

I'd say we did good with our characters...

Snow Queen and her powers.

I tried so hard to have white hair and nothing worked!:(

Do you wanna build a snowman???

Queen Elsa with her AMAZING costume;)

Here is everyone that dressed up, all frozen but the cute pineapple;)

Summer Fever '14

So no I didn't blog on Sunday.... So sorry! Normally I would try to blog any free second I got and then it become mostly Sundays because it was easiest... and now it's like every free second I am getting I crash from being exhausted!!! I am now shooting real sessions and am constantly tired, have bruises covering both my knees and exhausted arms from lifting lights and kids, shooting is way harder than I ever thought it would be but I have had a few rewarding moments, and am constantly learning however I pray that there will be more good, rewarding moments, else this studio thing may not be my thing;) Haha anyway.....

I wanted to do a huge recap of Summer but that would require going through a BILLION photos so I am kind of just going to post random things here and there and hopefully get us caught up on a week to week or day to day post. Hopefully?!

So first thing I would love to post is..... The fact that I got to take Morgan's cute Homecoming pictures!!! Although nothing turned out the way I wanted it to and I thought the pictures would be horrible they turned out okay, not photography picture great or even near to it but for the time of day, lack of a good camera, and no time it was decent! Here are just a few of my favorites. Also I have started to use a name for my own photography, Elle Photography soooo yeeeaaahhh;)
