At The Garnet Mercantile

 

 

What a busy Fall!  It has been forever since I posted, but no fear, there are more pictures on the way.  This was at a special Superhero Extravaganza at our local clothing store.  They were kind enough to let me set up some studio shots for everyone who attended.  Hope you enjoy, Aren't they cute!

 

Wedding in Logan

My sweet niece got married last fall.  I can't believe it's been a year.  The weather was fabulous and they were so fun to photograph.  With their year anniversary approaching and me trying to catch up a little, I wanted to share these pictures with you.

Wedding bells

Hi all,

It feels like forever since I posted. It has been a wonderful and busy spring. I'm enjoying many opportunities for service in our small community and have kept busy with the PTO and the White Pine Children's Art Festival. The art festival is new here in Ely this year and it is exciting, but a lot of work. It has left me with limited photography time, although I do have more pictures to post and will post them in the next couple of days. This wonderful couple called a few weeks before they were getting married and asked if I was free. They decided to plan a wedding in two weeks and it turned out wonderful. They were such a cute couple and lots of fun to work with. Other than being absolutely freezing cold, it was June, but it means nothing here in Ely, the locals keep telling me it may snow on the fourth of July and I could believe it, it was a fabulous location. The Northern Nevada Railroad is so much fun, if you haven't had a chance come visit and see the trains, it's great.

Thanks for a wonderful time and congrats on your wedding!

So much fun

Hi All,

I really haven't fallen off the face of the earth. With our move, I have found myself busy in so many areas of my life. I seem to find new and exciting ways to keep myself busy. You should ask me about the White Pine Children's Art Festival, coming to Ely, NV this summer. It should be fun, but is keeping me busy.

This sweet family has been so welcoming to us, They are lots of fun and the girls love flirting with and teasing our youngest son. It was such a pleasure to capture them on film, I took over 250 pictures and we could have taken more.

My concern was their sweet Derek. Derek is an incredible soul, he has some health challenges and is in a wheelchair. He doesn't speak, but when you rub his arm (or his tummy :) ) his face just lights up. We wanted to get some pictures that would capture him, I prayed for days that we would get something that was wonderful for his family, and I feel like we got some great shots.

Hope you are all having a wonderful spring. We are having a few days of beautiful weather so I am off to enjoy the sun.

Love, ALS

Trash the Cake

A friend of mine from when we lived in Georgia is now living in Japan and working as a photographer, we recently got back in touch and I looked at her pictures, one was lots of fun, trashing the cake with a cute baby attacking his birthday cake. I decided with a one year old in one week that we would give it a try. It turned out really cute. I think I definately have a girl because it took some coaxing to get her to attack the cake, but she finally decided to dig in.Let me know what you think. ALS

Family photos

Over Christmas vacation my family finally got a family picture together, it's been years. I think since my mission that we actually took one, so getting us all together was a big deal, thanks to my sister-in-law who let me borrow her tripod since I forgot mine at home, these pictures turned out wonderful. My Dad and brother own a construction company and my parents have always wanted a picture on the equipment. This was the perfect opportunity. Let me know what you think! ALS

Fun Portraits

In setting up for today's photo shoot, I was testing the light and got it a little strong, but with a little tweak in photoshop, changed from color to black and white, this is what I got. I like the almost drawing like quality of these pictures, I think I'll set this up for my older kids. Let me know what you think. ALS
