I’ve been looking forward to posting images from this e|session for a while now. I loved their sense of humor and although they were a little reluctant to be in front of the camera at first, 
I think we got some great images and I am so looking forward to shooting your upcoming wedding! Enjoy this little peek from our day.
We’ve been trying to get these photos of adorable baby c for several weeks now and I’m so glad that we were able to get them done. He was a perfect little smiley guy and here’s a little peek while I finish up editing the rest. Enjoy
I had the great opportunity to meet up with this family on a surprisingly sunny afternoon at one of my favorite spots. When I saw them again yesterday I had told them that we got a lot of great shots and I’m not sure that they believed me…well here is a little sneak peek of our afternoon…and guess what, guys? I have lots more
I had a wonderful time with this family of three boys, what a beautiful family and they were all so fun to work with! Here is just a peek, it was tough to choose which images to show, as there are lots more! Enjoy!
Thanks again, guys! Expect an email from me in a couple days with the info for the rest of your photos!
So many times I will have clients email me and ask what they should wear to their session. This is such a tough question because the answer really depends on who you are as a family. My feeling on photography is that the photos should represent you as you are on a daily basis. Should you come in sweats and pjs? Probably not. But the main idea is to have you and your family (especially little ones) wearing something that they are comfortable in so that their focus is on having fun and not tugging at their clothes. The photo shown here depicts a family grouping that has similar colors throughout that pick up on eachother to accent everyone in a complimentary way. There are so many ways to dress for your session, and remember – the most important thing is to be comfortable and to have fun!
Typically when I plan out my own kids outfits (for photos…not everyday! ) I choose one shirt or dress and pull the other pieces from there. There are also times where I will dress my boys in the same or similar shirts that coordinate with my daughter’s outfit, partially because I like it, and partially because it annoys my brother in law. A win-win .
Just Monday I took my three young ones to a new spot to try out some photos. We rushed home from school and I pulled a shirt out for Miss C. The shirt was mainly brown with some orange and other colors in it (although a bit more purple than I would have liked). I then pulled a mostly orange shirt for Mr J and a different little shirt for Mr M that had orange and brown running through it as well as some lighter colors. So although all shirts were not the same, they all had the same basic colors in them (and if I would have planned a little more ahead, I probably could have done a better job coordinating, but on the spur of the moment, it worked fine!) For instance, Miss C’s shirt had words on it, which is something I would not recommend as it can be distracting. I also would have preferred for her to have a different color of jeans so that they didn’t stand out as being different from the boys, but that entailed doing laundry, and we just didn’t get that far yesterday
Please excuse the not so technically perfect photo above…it seems as though my children are getting a little tired of being in front of the camera. Imagine that I guess I’m paying for acting the same way for my mother’s camera when I was young!
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween this year! We had a great day filled with lots of trick or treating and some haunts as well. Up the street from our house there is a very scary haunted house…which I would not go in (although the kids did!) and some scary characters that hang around. This year I was lucky enough to see one of the “people” without his mask, so if I concentrate on knowing who it is, I’m not quite as frightened!
It’s snowing here in Utah, and I am such a happy camper! It’s not doing a whole lot of damage, and that is for the best. But I do adore the snow! There is something so peaceful and beautiful and calming looking out the window to see the snow coming down.
I’ve been looking forward to posting more of the images from the wedding at the beginning of this month, so here they are. This couple was such a delight to be around, their family and friends were great and so fun to work with. I was so happy to be a part of their magical day, they are a wonderful couple and I wish them the best!
The ceremony took place at Le Jardin and was simply beautiful and elegant. There were so many great spots to take photos and to explore. After the ceremony they headed to Market Street Grill for some lunch and more photos at this very fun venue. The photo below was one that we were able to get while at Market Street and has become one of my favorites!
Later that evening we gathered in North Salt Lake at the bride’s aunt and uncle’s house for more festivities. There was a wonderful spread of food for dinner and many desserts as well as the cake cutting and a nighttime getaway complete with sparklers. Thanks again to the happy couple, I had a great time and I hope you love your images!
I’ve known this family for years…in fact if I think about how long I’ve known them, it just makes me feel old It was a pleasure to head up the canyon with them and get a few photos done, including a four generation girls photo! The trip back down the canyon was a little more interesting, but I’m glad everything worked out! Thanks F family for a great morning together. Enjoy this little peek and I’ll let you know as soon as your gallery is up!
So happy to finally have a new blog home. Editing is easier, importing photos is easier…both things that make my life easier! Please update bookmarks as the old blog will no longer be updated. You will find all old carrieowensphotography|blog content has moved here as well, however old personal Carrie Owens blog info has not (although that wasn’t getting updated very often anyway). Thank you for your support and with the new and easy blog, I hope to be updating on a more regular basis!
