Fun with a BIG PINK DINO!
Last weekend my cousin Lili and Bug (Hayley) came to visit us in Roosevelt. Pretty much there is nothing to do here but go to Vernal, so we were off. We had to stop at the big pink dinosaur. It is a landmark!
I really hate these pictures of me but Lili and Bug look cute.
Bug looking too cute and grown up!
Bug’s pretty eyes
I love this picture of Lili and Bug. I have never done textures before…not sure how I feel about it. What do you all think? I kind of like it.
Lili looking so SASSY!
Paige…Such a Big Girl!
I have been posting a lot of pictures with Paige lately, but with it being the down season for wedding I don’t really have too much to post about. She looked so cute yesterday I couldn’t resist doing a mini session with her and Alex! I think they turned out great!

Look at those big eyes
Look at my toes!
I am getting too big!
Sweet little feet
In Memory…
President Gordon B. Hinckley.
Last night I sat with silent tears as I fed Paige. Alex had just told me that President Hinckley had passed away. He was such a wonderful man that meant so much to all of the members of our church. He was ’MY’ Prophet. I really haven’t known any other one.
Sen. Orrin Hatch said this about President Hinckley “His life was a true testament of service, and he had an abiding love for others. His wit, wisdom, and exemplary leadership will be missed by not only members of our faith, but by people of all faiths throughout the world.”
Here is a linkto the article about him on msn.
I hope that his life of Christ like kindness and service will be remembered forever in our hearts.
With Love, Tonya
Paige is 5 months old
Today Paige is 5 months old. I can’t believe it! She is growing up so fast. She laughed out loud for the first time today! It was the cutest darn thing I have ever seen or heard!!!
Eight Below…
…and I am not talking about the Disney Moviewith the dogs. I am talking about the temperature outside when I left my house this morning. You know what the sad thing is though…as I walked outside today I thought to myself, “oh good, it feels like it is going to be warmer today!” And yes I was being serious! I hate my town in the winter! It was -25 the other day! BRRRRRR!
Taken with my camera phone:
I will be updating again today with pictures of Paige who is 5 months old today!
Blog Love.
Times have changed since I went to photography school. Although Digital was around, a lot of people were still using film. It was only 4 years ago but so much has changed. One thing that I think has changed wedding and portrait photography is
THE BLOG
I must admit I LOVE it! Not only do I love posting my own blogs, but I love looking at others!!! I have a list of favorites that I check every day. They all have inspired so much with their AMAZING pictures. So here is my list.
Amelia is amazing. Her pictures are so beautiful and creative. Her blog was the first photography blog I ever looked at, and it got me addicted to blogs! So thanks Amelia! I had the chance to meet her husband Justin at my cousins wedding and he is the nicest person and an awesome photographer!
the [b]ecker
Okay…can you say awesome! Not only is he an amazing photographer, buy he is a business/marketing guru. he loves helping out other photographers. I cannot even tell you how much his blog has helped me. Thanks [b]!
Extreme Amazing Color! That is what I think of when I think Jessica Claire. Her pictures are so wonderful. She is the queen of back-lit sun flare. So beautiful. I would love to meet her! Plus…she is the inventor of shootsac! How cool is that! I want one so bad!!!
She is truly an inspiration to me. Her writing skills are amazing and her pictures are even better! Just do yourself a favor and check her blog out!!! She totally rocks!
I don’t know she does it, but she always finds the most wicked locations for photo shoots! Amazing old building with awesome colors! I just love her style. I think she is one of the most original photographers in the business.
Just another AMAZING Southern California photographer! Her pictures are truly beautiful, plus she just seems like a fun person! Plus the Boutwell’s Totally Rad Actions mix are awesome. I love using these actions! I use them every day! Her husband Doug also has a blog that is worth checking out blougbloug!
I just came across Millies blog last week and I must say…LOVE IT! She seem like a wonderful person and her pictures are so great! I would love to meet her!
In my opinion, she is one of the best wedding photographers in Utah. I would LOVE to work with her! It is nice to see some locations that are familiar to me! She is always creative and her pictures are just great!!!
There are more that I check but these are my favorites! Anyone who reads this blog should check these amazing people out! I would love to meet all of these photographers one day to thanks them for helping me so much. So if any of the photographers from above read this (hey I can dream) let me know if you ever need a second shooter or anything like that! It would be a dream come true! Oh Blog Love.
Oh…and I hate to post a blog without a picture so here is one of my beautiful baby girl!
Paige x 15 = CUTE!!!
When I first started shooting digital I bought a photoshop book by Scott Kelby called The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers. Aside from all of the some what lame jokes it was a great book to help me in Photoshop. I would recommend the book to anyone who is a beginning photoshopper! Anyways, in his book he did a collage similar to this and I have wanted to do one ever since.
Well this morning I decided to finally get it done. I had taken some fun little pictures of Paige a few days ago and I really wanted some pictures of her for her room. So this is what I came up with. What do you think?
This is also a really cute thing to do for Engagements or Bridals to display at a wedding! I will make one up this weekend to show you!
