Just a shout out of thanks to all those who serve our country. We are so blessed and I think most of the time we forget how lucky we are. I spent the day in classic forth of july form. Friends, BBQ, swimming, and fireworks. Here are a few shots of the fun

hope everyones forth was a good one

swept away

2009-07-03T11:04:00.000-07:00

I know Im never going to hear this end of this but I am more excited and wrapped up in this movie and waiting for it to release than......twilight. do I adore twilight yes but this story and the beauty of this film is perfect. If I was as wrapped up in the preview I can only imagine what 2 solid hours will be like

I need to finish reading the book first!!!!

ofcourse twilights next on my cant wait list ....then my sisters keeper!

My world consist of

2009-07-02T22:26:00.001-07:00

My world consist of two thing right now, my kidlets and weddings. Sooooo all I have pics of is ...my clients, me and my kids lol. I focus as much time as I can on my babies. The night I got home from my cali wedding I was so excited to see their sweet faces. We did a few fireworks, ate on the front lawn and enjoyed our newest game....Little billy and kaitlyn ask a MILLION "what if we did not have(fill in the blank here)" questions. They ask everything from what if we didnt have gas stations to what if we didnt have toes. When they asked what if we didnt have gas stations I naturally said " well we couldnt use our cars without gas." But what I was thinking was .... crap!! where would I get my drinks at?

I have also been trying to fit in my workouts. I got myself a trainer to help maximize time. But its been really frustrating when I realize somedays I really dont even have a hour to do something like workout for myself.

Kitkat had her last day of school today and its so strange to think she will be in first grade. she wont have half days anymore and *tear* Im prepping billy for pre school. This is way to fast I about died when kitkat was in preschool and now my little man is gonna grow up too. Kaitlyns getting so smart, shes reading pretty well and loves to write. I have noticed something about her that makes me just tickled. She memorizes music quickly just like I always have. I can listen to a song once or twice and be able to sing along, well now kitkat is my duet partner. Today she rocked out a little Feist and I was a proud mommy.

heres a few pics from the last bit. yes yes Im shooting like crazy and I have the coolest brides. some of them truly become my friends

the soundtrack for my cali trip....regina

mr A himself...then me (B) and where the crap is C? Michael (aka A) is such a funny dude. I shot his wifes sisters wedding last fall in nauvoo and loved getting to work with his side of the family too. I dont stop laughing around these people.

back home and some firework fun

a pic from a walk

then I was lucky enough to catch up with one of my oldest friends marci ..while I shot her daughter ofcourse. But we are doing dinner before she moves to cali :( - SO CHRISTY YOU better make time for it-

a few of my recent brides and I

ashley and I being sassy

last one is one of my VERY favorite brides. Alex and her mother always kept me laughing and scored soooo many points by always bring a full throttle on our shoots :)

oh and I did get to unwrap these 2.5 inch thick canvas wraps :) :) :) kitkats seasonal piece is 24 by 36 and the bridal is 20 by 40

I took these with my mac so the quailty is crappy but you get the idea

hopefully I will have a more thrilling blog post next week
(side note make sure and watch americas got talent! I feel special to be friends with the fab five )
CONGRATS GIRLS

My Dad and some extra goodness

2009-06-21T20:37:00.000-07:00

Happy fathers day dad! I love you and Im thankful for the wonderful examples you and mom are!
One of the things I got from my dad is my love of music. thanks for sharing your great taste, enya will forever remind me of you.

what a week....I had several shoots and two weddings! I even managed to scrub my house which shouldn't seem that big a deal, but it is with my lack of time! My house can get super messy. Lets see if I can keep billy from destroying the place lol...

Also I will be moving back to layton in a month and I am excited but also bummed. I always hate when it just doesnt feel like home! I found a cute house and Im giving my friend my card and permission to decorate. I love cute house stuff but the moment I walk in the store I get overwhelmed and say ahhhh does this go? what do I really want? do I like this style or this style? Then I think, well I can go to nordstrom and pick out clothing. I know I like it so I should just spend my money there! lol

me and my little man! I adore him but we are in the process of training my mess maker to not be so ..messy :)

This is my future man if anyone was wondering. If I had to pick a "type"....this is it. A mans man whos rough around the edges. mr drover I heart you.

ps see Australia if you haven't yet its a current fav! epic

yesterday and tomorrow

2009-06-20T00:43:00.000-07:00

I wish my updates had more personal life in them but it seems these days works all I do. Thank goodness my clients are awesome to work with.

Yesterday I got to shoot possibly my favorite utah temple. The draper temple is stunning, yes its smaller and the grounds are hard to work with but the temple it self is beautiful. I love the lines and it holds a look of strength... a masculine but alluring look. I drove up to it a few times while it was being built and loved looking out over the valley. Anyways my friend aryion got married yesterday at the draper temple and I could not be happier for her. Together her and brett have 6 kids and to see them rush up to the newlyweds as they walked out brought tears to my eyes. They all just looked so happy...so excited about their new family.

some of you might not know this but I became friends with these girls after I shot their family portraits last summer! next came sushi then chatting on the phone...to now being some of my best friends! sadly I had to work and couldn't go to the dinner the night before the wedding!

tomorrow I get to wake up early and head down to this thing of beauty

manti wedding ...cant wait

now completely off the topic. Im getting prepped to try and get a shot like this one of Billy! I want to have them both hanging as a seasonal piece ....

but do you see this stinker? hahahha I dont think my idea will go as planned!

Birthdays and girlfriends

2009-06-12T14:16:00.000-07:00

One of our friends lori had a birthday last week so we all went to mimis cafe to celebrate! After the dinner I jetted over to jonis so rico could show off his new toy. He was super tickled with it...lol! anywho it was nothing glamorous but still just as fun. This weekend Im super excited cause Im heading off to a workshop and also have a wedding to shoot! A fun filled photo weekend ahead! yippie!

xoxo B

Lil Billy is known for his mess making abilities, its one of his true talents. I have been cracking down on the time outs and making him help pick up the mess more. well the other day for the 100th time he destroyed the up stairs bathroom. So I drag him upstairs giving him the "your going to learn" talk. I put him down and told him to start picking up the toilet paper he tore into tiny pieces.

Then wide eyed in his sweet little voice he said " Iis just trouble maker mommy..... Iis dont keen up Iis mess maker." So be careful what you label your kiddos. I always tease him that hes my trouble maker and I cant blame him for sticking to it ;)

summers night continued

2009-06-05T08:33:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more from me and Megans wildflower weekend :) we have to much fun together

I have the windows down everyday now and I love it! Kitkat and billy love it too!!! I say windows down are a must so do your hair accordingly

awww so pretty...I love open sky like this

its blurry but it works lol

A light bulb moment

2009-05-29T14:15:00.000-07:00

For over a week now my eye has been twitching and absolutely driving me crazy. I didnt know why but as a random facebook status update I said something about it.....then duh!!!!!.....I had a light bulb moment! well its more like everyone else smacked me in the face with reality. So lack of rest, stress, and caffeine is a bad mix!?!? Hummmmmm well now Im stuck in a hard spot. I think my eye might twitch for a bit. But like I had said in a earlier post I have cut back my falls bookings so I wont kill over. All I have to do it make it through the summer!

It will be nice to take care of myself again! lol But Im sooo lucky to do something I love and be able to keep my kids home with me.... wouldnt change it for the world.

so the point of all this is to say. Family and friends who I seem to only play phone tag with and those I run into when my hairs a mess or I seem a bit grumpy.....dont take it personal :)

-mom- (cause she worries if she reads this stuff) dont worry your sweet grandbabies are still number one!

thank you

2009-05-25T13:42:00.000-07:00

thank you mr johnny cash for making sitting at my computer editing more enjoyable

single ladies

2009-05-19T13:42:00.001-07:00

The kids do two things while I work...dance or make a mess ....I like dancing better! kaitlyns extremely social and loves the lime light. she has no problem smoothly pushing billy out of the way.

Happy mums day...(a week later)

2009-05-17T15:29:00.000-07:00

so forgive my delay on my mothers day post! But I wanted to say Im thankful for such a wonderfull mother! My sisters are also wonderful moms and such great examples for me!!!! Im thankful I have so many friends who are in the same stage in life. The day would be so much longer if we couldnt call and one up each other on whos kids are naughtier :) I love all you guys! Megan invited us over for a BBQ on mothers day.... and since my mothers a million miles away I was happy to have something holiday-ish to do. Dallin made a killer dinner and oh man.....megans homemade chocolate cake is amazing! here are a few pics of our lazy sunday afternoon...thanks megan and dallin I heart you guys

warning messy dirty kids ahead

so megan got me flowers and Im praying I dont kill them....I have a touch of death to all things green. I got her gossip cause she needed some mindless fun in her life ;) oh and fyi you all owe me 20 bucks cause I knew brad and angie werent gonna make it!

billy bently and kitkat

dallin is such a ravishing cook

me with my boyfriend again...

megs and her mum

mommy when will you.......

2009-05-16T22:57:00.000-07:00

Every mom has those moments....the one when your child says something to embarrass you in public. Well kitkat thought the line in the post office on a busy weekend would be a great time to ask me (loudly) " mommy... when are you gonna get married ?!!!?!! its taking to long." Oh man I felt kinda silly....first off I had been editting all day so I was in comfy clothes...lets say I didnt look like I would get a man anytime soon. Biggest bummer was there were some good looking men in line, older and no wedding rings. I few people snickered and commented on how cute she is, but I just wanted her to quit babbling!
Let me explain, we watch alot of princess movies at our home. We play house with babies all the time too. Kaitlyn understands that once you get married you have babies. Lately the questions are "mommmy does kambria (bills (my ex) sister who is newly married) have a baby in her tummy yet?" and ones like " mommy your lovely like the pretty brides your a picture taker for, you should wear a pretty dress and I can have one too right?"...." mommy (while she watches me edit) they love each other right, you kiss when you love each other...right?....who do you kiss mommy?" last is one of my favorite things shes noticed, I dont know how they are so smart and observant but the other day she said "mommy you dont have a boyfriend just a lot lot of boys you date..right? when are you gonna have a boyfriend?" Last and the point to the kitkat quotes... is "mommy are you gonna have more babies?" I replied "one day yes, but it will be a while" and then she said " you should find your prince and get married and have me and billy a sister...we need a sister, cause I only have a brother and hes a BOY!!!!"

Heres another kit kat moment that is worthy of blogging for my family (whos scattered across the u.s)

Kitkat had a program in kindergarden the other day, so me and lil billy headed over to watch nursery rhyme theater. I passed on my pigeon toed trait to my children, its something I grew out of for the most part but I still stand that way when nervous. Kaitlyn runs, walks and stands with her cute little feet turned in a bit, so she tends to trip easily. I had to laugh when she managed to stumble on her own feet twice while walking to the stage, and 3 times while up on stage. We only had one full on fall and it was a mild one thank goodness! Hopefully she grows out of it but for now I love her little turned in toes...its perfect and endearing.

now I gotta get back to work

2009-05-11T13:38:00.000-07:00

Wedding season is in full bloom and I have been runnning around like crazy. Here are a few gems from my last wedding. It was sooo fun to have one of my BF at the wedding the whole day!

{B}abble questions and answers

2009-04-28T10:06:00.000-07:00

I keep getting questions about the {B} babble so I will start answering a few here

- No I dont have fake lashes on in my after pictures

-my skin ..lol well I feel a little gross with how shiny I am in the pics!!!! but I only have left over blush and bronzer on from the day. I shot this before I jumped into bed so Im not all put together. hairs a mess....make up less....pjs...but the products I use is macs blot powder ,bronzer and nars blush! other than that I can thank my mother for clear skin.

- Lip tint: another thing to thank mother for. I dont have any lip gloss , color or stain on my lips.

-paintpot: was mac painterly

{B}eauty babble

2009-04-26T23:23:00.000-07:00

......I do beauty babble cause I get asked questions about products and techniques I use. I DONT CLAIM TO BE A PRO.....Im sure I break rules and what works for my coloring and face shape wont work for everyone. I have a few softer eyes I do ....less liner but I got asked how I do this copper eye. enjoy

The photo in my header is the one people were asking about. I get nervous in the spotlight so I babble.....As you will see in my video. Hopefully you can still make sense of it all.

To some of you this may seem silly, but its fun so dont be a hater

The bright side

2009-04-19T12:04:00.000-07:00

I got a email today that about made me cry. I have gotten letters and emails from women saying I somehow help them.....I love to hear it but don't quite understand it. Either way I wanted to say thanks and touch base on the subject. You are helping me be a better person by sending them. Also If I haven't replied to your email I promise promise it wasn't to be rude. The mid west woman who's daughter said I look like belle .....your email made my day.(beauty ad the beast is my fav) I would love to hear how your doing.

Being positive is the only way to get through life, there will always be a bright side to any situation, it is your job to you to find it. Believe me I have my days where I want to scream! That day were everything falls apart and you have demands and the weight of the world on your shoulders. You see tomorrow as a chore and wish you could sleep for a year to skip all the crap. Yes I have been there and I still have my moments, although they are lighter and less frequent just know EVERYONE has them. Even that lady down the street who seems to have it all together and runs around like superwomen. That's my downfall ...I want to be on top of it all. I want something that CANT happen. I want that hour spent reading and talking with my kids while dinner cooks, the house clean, my edits done and my clients happy , all those emails I get are replied to, print orders in, a walk alone somewhere secluded, a little me time at nordstrom, and a hot date planned. Is that to much to ask? :) .....well it is for a single mom or anyone. So the house might not be perfect so I can get those print orders in and my clients will not get a email until the next night. Dinner might have to be take out and the walk will have to wait unless I bring the kidlets to Chase.

But when I do get that walk its perfect.... everything is absorbed and valued. So maybe I'm lucky....cause to many people walk around without noticing true beauty. Stay out of tunnel vision, someone has had it worse or been there too. Its easier said than done I know but I think one of my greatest blessing I have EVER gotten is being blessed with PERSPECTIVE. Time always goes on and things change. If you focus on being the best person you can be and depend on the lord for the rest happiness will find you. Its something we are all entitled to and our heavenly father wants nothing more than for us to be blissful and at peace. Its strange for me to be so open. I hate nothing more than feeling exposed, very few people truly know me. I have been told I have the great wall of china wrapped around me and .....they might be right. I feel very Passionate about the things I love and choose carefully who can know my heart. But If being more open on my blog can help those of you out there maybe I will give it a go.

Write your story with a bright perspective, have your happy ending in mind and let the middle fall into place.

xoxo B

I am blessed with such great family and friends! keep positive people around you it makes all the difference

me and Megan (who I love) had some photo fun and I have been busy dating..... and fyi: dating is a pain...boys are work!haha ;)

and I love her baby jace! hes my boyfriend ;)

a go cart date with charlie..fun fun

update overload!

2009-04-10T21:34:00.000-07:00

( some of the pics are stolen off of friends sites, so sorry about the colors...)

I have been insanely busy! Blush is doing wonderful ...But {B} is running ragged! I cant complain cause I love the clients I have gotten and I love my camera! I'm trying my hardest to be superwomen and I decided somethings gotta give :) I will be booking less so I can focus more time on my little family! I'm missing out on the things that make me happy like sitting on the front porch and watching my babies play...walks...and fun nights out with just the three of us! Plus I still love my girls nights which there is a lot of those pictures on this post!

my current favorite place to run or take long walks? great salt lake! As long as there isnt wind its perfect

Important side note: I'm not focusing on posting my kids BECAUSE I have a lot of Internet friends. I have no problem with people feeling like they get to know me via my blog but my kids are another story! The play by play of my little family will be just for me. Sure I will throw in bits of us but its my job to protect them and keep them safe. I was private but wanted a public blog so my clients could get a feel for me and it has been a great tool. But so many blogs I get on I go WOW I feel like I know every move these peoples children make! I get a lot of traffic on this blog due to Blush so I hope you are understanding. This is MY blog so most the pictures will have something to do with me. wither its things I LOVE, people I LOVE or just ME.

anyways here's my girls nights update ... so enjoy!

Joni and me had a few sleep overs and enjoyed that teaser spring with a run and a few days later a hike...followed by movies and chit chat over sushi of course!

then we hit up our little tea spot for Jonis Birthday lunch! she looked so retro chic

me I have looked better :) this day was a non stop day. client meetings, lunch downtown, Ogden for a shoot, and then a date! yes I'm nuts I know :) 3 outfit changes too lol

next is my beautiful parents! they flew in town for a visit. It was ella's baby blessing...now don't judge the baby blessing shots! I wasn't on photog duty and only got a few :)

doesnt it just make you laugh that this is my children uncle ...oh and Billy's crazy smile should make you laugh too

next up Loris bachorlette party and wedding

fun fact! I walk in .... I walk closer to see joni and I are dressed almost exactly alike! uuuhhhhhhh ya lets just say we felt dumb going out like that.

so these crazy girls will head bang...me!? never tried it hahaha I will stick to moving my hips when I dance

me and joni heading out

me and my long lost but happily in love bffff {C}
being our nerdy selves before heading out to Loris wedding. christy even caught the bouquet...hummm wedding bells?

ps christy is only a 1/3 the size of a normal human :)

joni was a bridesmaid

the beautiful bride

are you still with me?......

now for last weekend!

I had a engagement shoot to do down in st George. Lucky for me joni was going down with her hubbies family for a relaxing weekend! I also got to meet my online friend Meghan lol shes jonis bff and naturally we got along and had been having fun chatting on the phone and online for the last few weeks! anywho here are the highlights!

a little photo fun! its just what us gals do!

sadly since Im the photog. nobody can ever give me any direction on how to look good

Meghan and me

lunch on 26th and main! best cup cakes EVER! I know my cupcakes :)

the land is beautiful

all and all it was a wonderful trip! my shoot rocked and I got to hang out with great friends.

My kit kat is 6!!!!!!

2009-03-05T16:13:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was a big day.... kaitlyns 6th birthday. Im still wondering where time went and how she grew up so fast. Shes my side kick and I dont know what I would do without her. I praying for a ugly stage around her teens cause I think I am in BIG trouble. I know every mom thinks her kids are beautiful but its strange when your 6 year old looks better than you do in a picture haha! she wanted a girls night so I got her and her cousin keelie all fancy for a night out. We went to dinner, shopping for her gifts, and then to get their nails done. I love you kit kat happy happy birthday!

thats not blush....she just has chapped cheeks :)

(i didnt get fancy as you can see)

so fancy xoxo B

I find time to play

2009-03-03T21:08:00.000-08:00

some of you may wonder where C is in this update: well she basically has been stolen from me by a outta state man! boo....

Last week was one of the craziest weeks I have had in a while. I have never been so exhausted! I had 5 shoots and edits like crazy, plus mom stuff to do. I even canceled my Saturday night plans to lay in bed and watch movies....it was perfection.

Blush is going full speed and Im soooo pleased with it. Im getting my routine down pretty good so I can keep up. since my last update I have several more weddings booked and thats going to be my focus you wont see as many families from me . well maybe around fall cause thats when everyone wants them. Im still on the look out for a great townhouse...we will see where I end up here soon. The kids are the same stinkers they always are. Billy still loves to dump out anything he can.... pepper salt sugar milk. the bigger the mess it makes the more he loves it. He is also REALLY SMART for his age. He picks things up so quick! Kit Kat turns 6 tomorrow! can you believe it!!!! she is growing so fast it scares me. she is still social as always...wonder were she gets that from?!

we all know I love to play so heres the update of the fun I have been having lately.

I had a group date with adam, joni, and rico plus some.. to the fights downtown! it was oodles of fun topped with homemade icecream :)

next... a girls night with megan which I adore cause we can be lazy in pjs no makeup ...get chilis to go and lots of chit chat

me as the licorice king from the candy land game and megan a dude with a hat lol

I also had one of the funniest dates ever! we had sushi and then off to the.......RV SHOW! you all know how much I love to people watch and this was a great place to do it. I found a sweet toy hauler I wanna get someday... but I need some toys of my own first! anyways we then went for a icecream cone at McDonald's! J.W thanks for the laughs and I wasnt lying when I said IM game for anything! lol

then a TEA PARTY!
yes I know Im a nerd but little things like this make me happy!
fyi I couldnt take a good pic no matter what this day!
so fancy lol

this cake was KILLER and the herbal berry berry tea ..oh yum

totally cheesing it I know

then we had to make a stop at the tailor for joni....
ya random I know

hope everyones having a lovely week! mwah B
heres a sneak peek of my personal photo shoot! My new websites needed new pics...more to come

My favorite holiday

2009-02-16T23:29:00.001-08:00

I heart valentines day...its a perfect reason to get all fancy and go out on the town. I was wondering if my favorite holiday would be a bust like most my others have been lately lol But my morning began with a special valentines breakfast with my little loves. My babies are the best thing I have and they thought that all the hearts and chocolate was pretty cool. Later that evening I had a lovly double date with adam, joni and rico. my date was good at the valentines day rules and brought roses which scored him a few extra points. bravo ;) anyways we ate at hotel monacos Bambara which was a great choice. I love my fish and red meat so the steak we ordered was perfect. after he hit up chilis for the chocolate cake and then the hotel for some movie fun! all and all I had a wonderful night

heres a few pics

joni was sad cause this is her favorite and shes been on a anti sugar diet since christmas... go her!

your all wondering what adam is doing.....well hes being edward for me lol

happy valentines day everyone

All girls know that feeling.....where you just need to treat your self to a few nice things, well thank you juicy for the new gold bag, urban outfitters for some vintage headbands..... and ahhhh justin timberlake,(a.k.a william rast) you know how to make a girl with curves feel oh so lovely! plus totally smart move in the sizing cause I got 2 sizes smaller than I normally do....and ladies Im no 25 . yes I know a number doesn't make my butt look any better but it sure feels good to think it does.
anyways if your more hourglass check out his jeans cause I love mine! ( tip: get the the cuts that are online.....the ones at nordys store I dont like )
xoxo B
ps: I know a group of us gotta plan to see confessions on a shopaholic and hes just not that into you. so plan ladies plan

well Im busy as always! between the kids, photography and trying to keep the house clean..its safe to say Im spread thin :) Im super super excited cause Im stepping closer and closer to my goals. I booked a outta state wedding in cali and I cant wait, its in a vineyard! yea me! I also have some engagements in boston I get to go do which I cant wait to see the city! plus 5 in state weddings booked so far this year. Im gonna do it guys and Im so tickled about it! you wait and see...

Kit kat is fabulous as always and still my diva. she loves school and loves to please everyone BUT me. I do love how she like to have her hair done how ever I do that day. little bill is my smarty pants and my little boyfriend. he likes to brush my hair away from my face and say "mommies prity" he is always ready to give me some snuggles :) love my babies

overall Im just enjoying what I can and always looking to the bright side! Im very blessed and I feel so lucky the way my passion with photography has taken off..I just hope I can keep up :) I need some business savvy persons help haha. Im a artist not a accountant hummm what else can I babble about :) Im town house shopping which is fun and stressful choosing a place on your own. I got a new car about a month ago, my jeep was about to kill over on me so I went and got a four runner. To bad the colors a grey blue ..not my fav but I couldnt pass up the deal. Im just more of a black and white kinda girl!

anyways thats enough babbles..hope everyones having a lovely day

for your viewing enjoyment : the nice thing about divorce is you get a guaranteed babysitter every other weekend...a few of me and c playing around in logan

(I was in my tough chic clothes haha not my norm I know )

a little gas station stop never hurts. I always get lots of yummy stuff in the form of liquids and c always gets gummy candy...good balance. my ice cream wasnt worth the calories so I threw it out after two bites...oh well

it was a bit chilly

good thing I threw that ice cream out hahaha..gotta get my butt smaller

its just what I do

2009-01-09T13:02:00.000-08:00

the wind in her hair

2008-09-09T08:06:00.000-07:00

On saturday kaitlyn deiced she could ride her bike with no training wheels
she came running in the house screaming to come see come see. sure enough she had taught herself how to ride a two wheeler. In the spring we tried to teach her and took her training wheels off but it wasnt gonna happen. plus she had just gotten her barbie scooter so she didnt care much about her bike.
In the spring there were barbie bike commercials on a lot and she had made request for it several times. the deal was once she could ride a 2 wheeler she could get the bike. thank goodness they still had that barbie bike cause she had not forgotten!

kit kats pics of the wind in her hair :)
