This bridal shoot could be a blog post on is own.
You wouldn't know from the pictures how much of a trial it was.
Part of the reason was because Utah Lake was at the highest level it's been at in years, and we had to basically crawl over rocks and try not to fall in the water.
And I've never seen so many mosquitoes in my life!
(I had to Photoshop them out.)
But I was really happy with how the pictures turned out.


A few days later Evan and Ginny finally got married!
These are my favorite pictures from their special day.

I wish we had more time to take some creative poses like this, but the guests were waiting.
I love the few we were able to get!

This is little Kenadie.
Her mom, Kelly, is a friend of mine and asked if I would take her one-year-old pictures.
I ran this idea by her for a "one-color shoot", which I've never done, but luckily she had faith.
We had a $100 budget and this is how it all turned out.

We chose the color blue/turquoise to match Kenadie's adorable dress and sweater.
Then I found the desk/phone table on KSL Classifieds. Someone was selling it, but I managed to rent it for the day for $20.
The helium tank was another $20. It was one of those Balloon Time tanks, and trust me, you'll find the cheapest price at Walmart or Target. I did my research.
The rest of the budget was spent on streamers, balloons, the giant 32" balloons and the blue phone prop.
Oh, and the feather. You can't forget the feather!
Needless to say, shopping for this shoot was one of the funnest jobs I've ever had!
Kelly brought the blue books and blue treats (see below).

I've had a couple people ask me where I did the shoot.

It's just my front living room.
Moved out the furniture, moved in the decorations.
It probably took about 3-4 hours to set up.
Special thanks to my friends, Ashley and Mallory for helping me for so long, even though they were both pregnant at the time.
I know, I'm a slave driver.

A great couple willing to walk through weeds and climb through fences for me.
