28 Sunflowers Photography

A wonderful friend of mine scheduled a studio session to have me shoot her three kiddos, and her grandmother.  Let me start by saying what a wonderful honor it is to be called upon to capture these moments for friends.  Here is the storyboard that she had me design as a gift to GG...  What a beautiful family.  xoxo

No words can express how lovely it is to be in the presence of a newborn.....  I can't explain how heart warming and honoring it is to have parents choose me to capture them in their first few days either.  So in true photographer fashion, I will let my images to the talking for me.  They are much better at it than I am anyway.  xoxo

So, I have this job.....(if you'd really like to call it that).  It's really more like a dream where I get to hang out with some amazing people, and I get make beautiful portraits! Yesterday was no exception.  I got to hang out with Nathan....he is an actor, and soon to be auditioning for college scholarships.  How amazingly cool is that?  His dad called me to take his headshots for the upcoming audition, and I am so happy that he did.  Now I can say, "I knew him when..."  He has star potential.  Seriously. I am always humbled and so thankful when I am trusted to take important portraits for someone.  In closing, I like to say good luck to Nathan!  I am positive you will rock your auditions, and those colleges will be knocking down your door!  I hope you love your headshots also!  ~xoxo~  

I know, it's not Christmas.  In fact it is actually Halloween.  However, for the month of November I am giving you the gift of a hand full of appointments reserved for Christmas Mini Sessions!  I know it is the time of year where we all realize that "Oh S*%t" Christmas (or insert whatever wonderful holiday you celebrate at this time of year) is RIGHT around the corner...  What am I to do!?!?! Well, take a deep breath....  Call me and schedule one of my mini sessions (at the BEST price of the year)!  I will single handedly take care of most your Christmas gift giving needs (and your Christmas cards too)..... Here is what you get:  One mini session either in my studio, or some lovely place around Boulder City.  It will run about 30-45 minutes.  You will also receive 25 complimentary custom Christmas cards (5x7 double sided flat card on pearl or linen paper), and 10% off of your print order!  You will get an online gallery w...

I am not the best blogger in the world..  Actually, I am just about as far from it as you can get!  My intentions are there to get up and blog all of my images from a recent session, but there are days I either don't make it to the computer, or I just don't know what the heck to say.  I need to work on that. Anyhow, I know exactly what to say today!!! Happy Happy Birthday Adam!  We hope you enjoy your very first birthday as a married man (to the oh so fabulous Molly)...  We wish you many more happy and healthy birthdays for years to come! And, in case you didn't know it, Adam is our new (self proclaimed) official 28 Sunflowers model and location tester...  Adam, you might not know this, but we will hold you to that.... ~xoxo~

There is NO excuse not to have a stunning set of bridal portraits.  None.  Even if the actual event photography at your wedding didn't exactly turn out the way you had hoped....It happens. A lot.  Believe me.  Fear not!  The photography you deserve is just a phone call away...  Meet Molly & Adam, an absolutely stunning (AND super fun couple) whom I absolutely LOVE!  Molly was less than impressed with the photography provided by the venue on her wedding day, so we decided to get her and Adam all gussied up again and get them some amazing art for their walls....   We headed out to Eldorado Canyon (Nelson) for a fun and funky out of the box backdrop that would beautifully compliment their great personalities!  I had lighting assistance from Aimee (SeptemberSky Photography), and the results are just fabulous.    The one above is one of my personal favorites from this session....

Well, kind of.... Just about everyone out there knows of my love for the Organic Bloom frame line.  But, did you know all of the fun things you can do with these fun, funky, and fabulous frames?  I will be blogging and posting some fun ideas for these frames in my next few blog posts.  For today we're throwing a charming Fall wedding in celebration of Fall and frames!   Say hello to Johnny, and Carey Grant!  These gorgeous ornaments make PERFECT place holders.  Each frame is custom made to your order specifications, so go wild!  Mix it up with tons of colors, and shapes.  Give the bridal party a huge Organic Bloom frame as a thank you gift with a photo from the wedding.  Use the ornaments as place holders for guests and allow them to take their personal frame as a wedding favor!  I can't think of a better gift that I would love to get as a guest.      5x7 or 8x10's make the P...

But I thought it might be fun to play around with it a little!  The other day was a dear friend's birthday, and we were to bring desserts to another friend's home that same night.  So, what better excuse to bake cupcakes than that???? Oh my goodness, HOW good do those look?  My wonderful daughter Olivia helped with the frosting application, and I think she may be a pro soon...  Cake Boss watch out.  We got our cupcake decorations from a new store in town called The Big Bash.  Cupcakes, they make my heart beat a little faster (and my booty grow a little bigger).      Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! ~xoxo~

Can you smell that smell??? No, I'm not talking about myself....Yes, I did shower today.... I am, however, talking about my fabulously scented studio!  It seriously is the best smelling place on earth.  And, I know you are dying to know how I have achieved this olfactory feat....  Since I love you, I will let you in on the best kept secret....like ever.  Scentsy Go ahead check it out, and while you are at it head on over to Facebook and like DelightfullyWickless:  http://www.facebook.com/DellightfullyWickless Oh, and the best part about these?  Oh well, let's just say that you like scented candles.  Oh, and one day you were maybe burning them on a coffee table in your carpeted living room.  And maybe on that same day, your child decided to see how the flame would light up a piece of paper.... ( Just saying that these events may or may not have happened in real life.... ) Then that curious child of yours tosses said lit piec...

Our studio samples arrived yesterday, and are ready for their big reveal.  Too bad they will spend more time on my body than at my studio!  Hey, I am a walking billboard now.  On a serious note, these pieces have taken my breath away and have surpassed my expectations.  Because I am so excited for these, I will re host any old gallery for previous clients within the past year if you would like to consider adding one (or all) of these pieces to your collection of fine jewelry.  Just give me a call! xoxo

I am a picky lady (if you don't believe me just ask my husband....), and that picky-ness (is that even a word?) is reflected in the products that I offer through my studio.  I only offer items that I personally believe in, love, use, and have in my own home (or in this case wear on my own body)!   I am thrilled to announce that we will now be offering the stunning sterling silver photo jewelery line from Kotori!!!   Now please stop drooling!  If you have any questions, feel free to call me.  Our studio samples are ordered and on their way.  Once we have them in, be on the look out for some great offers....
