I went shooting...

with a camera! My friend Becky was in town and asked if I would like to go along with her to shoot. She is taking a Visual Journey all over the world. :) I COULD NOT WAIT. I was like a kid in a candy store. Taking pictures just for the fun of it?! No pressure to get a smile outta my kids? Just me and my camera and another adult? Wow. Fun. Loved it. She also dug up a little info on the place...

Built in 1909, the much-graffitied skeletal remains of the Ogden Portland Cement Co. plant still stand, adjacent to Interstate Highway 15.

And this is what we found....

Pitcher Sneak Peak

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family sunday. They are so photogenic, it kills me! I'm in the process of editing but wanted to share a sneak peak of things to come!

Holiday Special Section

Hey all! I have seriously neglected this blog. I am debating joining this blog up with my family blog.. that way I'm blogging more often... ;) Well I've had my little hands full with work lately and my creative juices are getting all sucked up there. So I thought I would share the Holiday Special Section cover I just did. I'm pretty pumped about it because I was finally brave enough to photograph my own cover. :) This is Chelsey, isn't she beautiful?! AND you would never guess from the pic she is pregnant! She was nice enough to agree to be my model in a half hours notice. And Hallmark was nice enough to lend us the ornaments. I won't spoil all the goodies, it's a pretty nifty little tab. So by yourself a Box Elder News Journal and you'll find one of these babies inside!

You may have noticed some pretty obvious photoshop action here, but I've learned over the years what I have to do to get a cover to print well. :) It's just lately I have learned how to get things to look good on newsprint. :) It's so frustrating having something look good on your screen and come out less than perfect when printed. My designing buddies hear me, eh?!

Birth Announcement

I so lucked out on being able to purchase my old computer from work. It's a Mac OS X! My new one at work is the new IMAC 24" screen..... yum. So as I was reformatting my new/old mac I found this along with many other treasures I'll share.
