Shayla’s Winter Portraits

Posted in Portraits by Tonya Peterson on December 17, 2008

Shayla works at Alltel with Alex, and she really wanted me to take some pictures of her.  She is very sweet and it was really fun hanging out with her.

Shad, Jaz and Dax

Posted in Family, Portraits by Tonya Peterson on December 14, 2008

Jazlyn was one of my first friends I had when I moved to Roosevelt in 8th grade.  Even though I still talk to my other friends from high school occasionally, Jazlyn is the only one I actually see all the time.  I guess it helps that we both live in Roosevelt!  I love when she hires me to take family portraits for her.  She is very chic and fashionable and always wants very modern/artsy/trendy pictures.  I just love clients that let me do whatever I want!  It is also a bonus that Shad, Jazlyn and Daxtyn are the cutest family in the world!  Makes my job easy!!!

Oh and just incase any photographers are wondering, all of the images were processed with totally rad actions 2: the revenge

If you don’t have them, GET THEM!  They rock!

 

Dax is so GQ!

Family Portraits Somewhere New

Posted in Family, Portraits by Tonya Peterson on December 13, 2008

I had the awesome opportunity last week to shoot with my friend Sandy again for a family portrait session.  Taking outdoor portraits in the winter in Utah has its challenges since everything is pretty brown.  So we decided to take the portraits in Vernal at an awesome location Sandy had found that looks good all year long.  Thanks for shooting with me Sandy!  This was a great session.  The kids were adorable!

I love all of my Ballou girl cousins so much!  I still can’t believe that we have kids sometimes!  This little bundle of joy is my cousin Emily’s.  Apparently  she is the only one of us who knows how to make little boys!  He is a little sweetie too!  

If you follow the blog you know that babies are rarely seen here.  Since I am primarily a wedding and senior portrait photographer I refer any calls for babies to my awesome friend Sandy.  She is so talented with babies.  But I made a special exception for one of my favorite cousins, just because I love her!  I think they turned out awesome!  It almost made me want to do babies more.  ALMOST!  Check it out!!!

Bad Day.

Posted in Engagements, Family, Personal, Portraits, baby by Tonya Peterson on November 13, 2008

I sat on my couch this afternoon a broken woman.  It seemed like no matter what I did crap just kept pilling on.  Nothing could break me out of this sad and depressing slump I had fallen in . . . until Alex came home for lunch with a big basket of beautiful flowers in his arms.  How could I not smile?  Alex asked to to be his wife 4 years ago today.  Thanks my love!  You really made my day!

Now on to business news, I was lying in bed last night thinking how stupid it was that my Christmas sale only lasted until the 15th.  I have decided that these sale prices will be good until the first o December, which is the same day that all orders for Christmas will need to be ordered by.  Don’t forget that Christmas Cards must be ordered by the 22nd!  If you are ordering your photos online the promo code is: XMAS08

To the next order of business. . . I have been a very bad blogger.  I had so much fun in October blogging every day, but I just couldn’t keep it up.  I don’t know how [b]ecker did it for so long!!!  I do have a few thing I need to blog

-UHS Cheerleaders

-Lili’s Maternity Session

-Katie and Robbie’s Engagement Session-Take 2!

I think that I will be up to date after that.  Keep checking back.  

 

Mucho Loves!
