Back to business

A lot has happened since my last post.... It's hard to know where to start! Lots of photos (like always) of all kinds of stuff. So this post will have lots of images. This post will also be more personal than a lot of the others.
First off, I would like to apologize to my faithful readers (or blog stalkers :) , whatever). I haven't posted/updated this blog like I have my others. The main reason being that I moved the other 2 over to Wordpress, and truthfully the app for my phone for blogger just stinks to high heaven. I have been out of town a lot in the past month. My father-in-law lost his battle with Cancer on August 29th. We were all hoping it would have been a lot longer before we had to say goodbye to him. He had given such a tough fight. About a year ago he had surgery to remove some of the cancer, and then he went through radiation and chemo. It's been a really rough year for the whole family. Losing him was something that none of us were prepared for. We went to visit him in the hospital several times, and that last time he was sleeping. I held his hand and kissed his bald little head, told him I loved him, and he squoze my hand a little. We lost him very early the next morning. Since then we have spent a lot of time just going through all of the things he left behind. Sorting 30 plus years of accumulated life is hard! The emotional side of it has been the hardest for everyone. It's hard not to feel like he is still here. I find myself often thinking "I will just call dad" when I get stumped on something. So, for anyone who was wondering, that is where I have been. Just kind of taking a break to get back to basics with life. Spend time with family, help my mother-in-law with things, doing whatever I can to help her get ready to sell the house and move.
Anyway, I am so super excited that fall has officially come to Utah! It's GORGEOUS! I love it when the leaves start to turn, even if I have to go for a ride through a canyon to see it. And of course because the leaves have changed I have the camping bug, and I want to go all the time! Which leads me to another reason for my post. For the month of October I am almost completely booked for weekends! So, if you want to get fall photos done you will need to book the end of September or during the week in October. Also, any sessions done between now and Thanksgiving will get a custom photo collage (great for Christmas cards) free! I love the photo Christmas cards (I do them with my own family!) and I can do them in absolutely any size you need.
On to the photos! Here are some of my favorites that have been taken in the past weeks since my last post!

Alright, alright.... I'll do it

Leah at Go 4 Pro has a contest going on for an About Me photo.

Some of you may have noticed that I do, in fact, have an about me page. You can see the link at the top of the page, in the tabs. There is a little bit of a bio on me, and about where I came from. I have been doing Photography Semi-professionally since Spring of 2006, and Professionally since Spring of 2010.  And sadly, the only picture I have up here on my page is the one on my blogger profile... I know! Shame, shame. Tsk-tsk. I have been putting it off, not really realizing the importance behind having a professional photo of myself. A lot of the people that read and follow this blog I am lucky enough to call my friends, and that may be a big contributing factor to why I have put it off. Don't worry, I won't hold it against any of you, it is my own fault after all. ;)

I had never considered that people would come here to my blog, not only looking at/for my portfolio and to see my work, but to see my personality and style. To decide if I would be a good fit as the photographer for their personal event. Considering nobody would want the awkwardness of a photographer that doesn't suit their style or has a personality that clashes, I have decided that Leah Remillét has a very good point. Its about time I had a photo to go with my about me page. That will be my new project as I wait for the current contest to end.

Just for fun, while I am working on this new project, if any of you have any questions you would like to see answered on my about me page leave me a comment or shoot me an email and I will add that info there. :)
