I am a sucker for any type of 'Before & After'.

Makeovers, dental work, weight-loss, reupholstery, landscapes.. you name it.

You have a coffee table you made from a wagon wheel? Sign me up, I wanna see it!

So, I hope you don't mind me showing you one of mine.

I'm very happy with how it turned out, and I'm even happier with the money I saved by putting in a little extra effort.

Who needs a $500 rug when you can make one for $70!

Before:

Ikea Rug $40 (must be flat-woven to ensure the paint doesn't seep under the tape)

Latex paint, green Scotch tape, brush $30 (the green painter's tape sticks better than the blue)

During:

There is something very therapeutic about painting something you wouldn't normally paint!

I enjoyed every second of it. This rug only needed two coats, leaving me with half of a gallon.

After:

Pay no mind to the grumpy pug. She decided the rug felt better than cold tile and wouldn't get off.

2011-02-21T23:12:00.000-08:00

Tasha & Brent

This is the toughest bride I have ever met. Freezing cold temperatures didn't even phase her!

All that cold and she still stayed composed. Amazing.

2011-02-15T20:48:00.000-08:00

My baby sister is having a baby.

CANNOT think of someone more perfect for the job.

This girl has the ability to make any crying infant fall asleep in her arms in record time.

They just melt into her.

Soon she will be welcoming a little (possibly big, she weighed 9 lbs 3 oz :) baby BOY to our family,

and since we have a brood of girls running around we're all very eager to see what it's like to have a boy added to the mix!

I'm so thrilled for you Car-Car, you will be the best little mommy a baby could ask for.

2011-02-07T10:55:00.000-08:00

Have you heard of the 100 LAYER CAKE MARKETPLACE?

I found this great shop over the weekend and I love the idea behind it!

Brides looking to buy or sell wedding decor, dresses, etc. can do just that.

Such a simple and ingenious idea.

All items above are for sale and found via 100 Layer Cake

And then there were three
.more just around the corner.

2011-01-14T17:07:00.000-08:00

I saw this duo sing on Leno last night and I haven't stopped listening to them since!
They are incredibly talented songwriters and their voices are beautiful... alone and together. I'm hooked. Give them a listen here.

Chelsey: Revisited

I found a few more photos that I really love from our shoot in October.
It's funny how certain photos will catch your eye instantly and others will take their time to make an impression on you.
I regularly go back into old folders just for that reason, hoping to find little gems like these.

A photographer's dream.

Never before have I had to do so little editing.
The plants really are that green, the light really is that beautiful, and E's legs really are that long...
Heaven.

Bridals. Jenne.

Is it too late to post photos from spring?
If you said yes, do not scroll down.
If you said no, scroll away!

I really loved this bridal session. Such a sweet girl, such a beautiful bride.

2010-10-15T11:00:00.000-07:00

One of these days I will actually follow the directions I'm given.

I got too caught up making different designs with the felt pieces that I veered from the original plan. Oh well, here's to happy accidents!

I have been in need of a project. My hands neeeed to make something. It's therapy for me.
Behold this week's therapy.

I think it's doable. And my couch has been asking for new pillows. Win-win.

The House That Built Me

I have wanted to photograph my parent's house for years now and I finally got around to it! (pat on the back)
I have always been inspired by this house. I love it's simplicity and openness. My mom designed it, my dad built it, and I was blessed to grow up in it. I joke that I grew up in a fish bowl but I really do love our house...WHITE walls and all!

( p.s. click the title )

Dreamy

2010-08-23T11:53:00.001-07:00

Here is my end of summer playlist. I've noticed a theme throughout my recent favorites and I must be in a somber mood, because only a couple of the following songs are upbeat. Don't let that deter you from giving them a chance, though. Some of the most beautiful songs (in my opinion) are the ones that twist your heart a little or put a pit in your stomach. It's one of the amazing side effects of good music.

Holly Conlan
Come Back Home

David Gray
Holding On

Imogen Heap
Wait it Out

Frank Sinatra
In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning

Missy Higgins
Stuff and Nonsense

Tim Myers
On Your Side

Marina & the Diamonds
I am Not a Robot

Meaghan Smith
A Little Love

Sleepy Rebels
Magic Girl

Justin Timberlake (Featuring Charlie Sexton)
Hallelujah

Mindy is a local gal, but I'm afraid our little town is too small to hold this much talent...

Give all of her songs a listen, but my favorite is Anchor. It's sweet as can be.

"...there are those who think that I'm strange, they would box me up and tell me to change,
but you hold me close and softly say that you wouldn't have me any other way..."

2010-08-19T16:19:00.000-07:00

Back from paradise...

Sunshine, tropical drinks, heavenly sunsets, and fireflies...
it was an unbelievable trip and I am so grateful for the experience.
More of Costa Rica to come.

Exciting News!!

I've been published in this month's issue of NONPAREIL MAGAZINE!
You can see the magazine spread here where you'll learn the how-to steps to becoming a modern day Audrey Hepburn.

I was able to join forces with the very talented Arleene Taylor and Chelsey Jackson
to make the article and I am so proud and excited to share it with you!

Isn't Brittany the perfect little Audrey?

SUMMER IS HERE!

2010-06-12T10:26:00.000-07:00

One year ago today...
I woke up to sunshine after two weeks of rain.
I was pampered and primped and dressed in white.
I was filled with butterflies and spilling over with excitement.
I was grateful for where I came from and where I was going.
I looked at my best friend - and in the blink of an eye - he became my husband.
I saw smiling faces and heard cheers and applaud.
I opened a small box to the surprise of beautiful Monarch butterflies.
I ate cotton candy and enjoyed the company of close family and friends.
I sang a song to my new husband and one to my wonderful dad.
I tried to soak it all in and remember every detail.
I cut and ate delicious lemon cake with raspberry filling.
I never got around to tossing my bouquet, which was okay with me.
I felt tiny raindrops that came at just the right moment.
I held his hand as we ran through bubbles and cheers of congratulations to our getaway car.
I waved goodbye through the rain covered window and laughed at the kids chasing after us.
I drove away with him feeling blessed and loved and pure awe for what had just taken place.

One year ago today...
I experienced a perfect day.

2010-06-05T23:09:00.000-07:00

Found this today and had to share.
Quite possibly the sweetest thing I have ever seen.
This little baby is hearing for the first time after receiving a cochlear implant.

2010-06-04T09:36:00.000-07:00

Have you heard of Ruche?
The clothes are really cute and reasonably priced, and best of all... they have great photography to showcase their line.
Take a peek!
If the clothes aren't for you, at least you'll enjoy looking at them!

2010-05-31T10:34:00.000-07:00

I can't think of a more enjoyable way to spend my Saturday...
Being inspired by creative women and getting to take some of their artwork home with me is so exciting!
Plus, it's a great way to support our local vendors who work so hard at what they do.

If you live in Utah, you must go... You can also visit Bijou Market's blog for giveaways and a list of the amazing vendors!
Hope to see you there!

My very own Snuggle Bear.

2010-05-26T19:22:00.000-07:00

And the winner is...

Thanks to everyone who voted! 58% of you chose color, so color it is! This baby is going up on the wall in my office.
I really enjoyed reading the differing opinions and reasons why one was picked over the other. So much so that I plan on doing this again.
Maybe it could be a weekly occurrence?
Could be interesting...

2010-05-25T10:21:00.000-07:00

I wish blossoms would last all year round. They are so beautiful and romantic.
Perfect for bridals.
And is it just me or does she look like Snow White?

2010-05-24T11:08:00.000-07:00

Digital sunshine.

Because it's snowing outside...

Check back tomorrow for bridals...

You would've thought there was a fire...

My husband walked through our door and let me know there was a baby goat outside.
I was out the door -camera in hand- within 10 seconds. Sadly, I am not exaggerating...

I always joke about how nothing ever looks the same once I get it home.

"I love tranforming furniture because it allows us to
live with the past but not in it." - Janett Howell

It's amazing what a little white paint can do!

2010-04-29T14:34:00.000-07:00

Those of you who know we well know that music and photography are equals in my life.
So instead of pictures, today you get music!
Here is a list of the songs that have been on repeat this week:

1. Permalight - Rogue Wave

2. Whether You Fall - Tracy Bonham

3. Shadow Boxer - Fiona Apple (so old and so good)

4. Horchata - Vampire Weekend (makes a bad mood disappear)

5. Actor Out Of Work - St. Vincent

6. Catalyst - Anna Nalick

7. Sweet Religion (Live) - Imogen Heap (NO ONE'S voice compares to hers - in my mind)

8. Sway - Bic Runga

9. 10 Mile Stereo - Beach House

10. Invisible Sun - Sting (easily my favorite Police song)

11. So In Love - The Icarus Account

12. Trouble - Ray LaMontagne

2010-04-28T17:09:00.000-07:00

Oh hello, springtime.
Nice of you to join us!
Thank you for the blossoms, sunshine, and beautiful photographs.
I hope you stick around for a while.
I like you.

2010-04-27T14:25:00.000-07:00

This is for all of you who didn't believe me when I said I used to be a little blondie!
The funniest thing about this photo is that I still make that facial expression on a daily basis...

2010-04-26T10:03:00.000-07:00

Birthday Girl!
Once again I get to photograph this little sweetheart.
Cannot get over those big eyes.
Happy 1st!

John was great, but he didn't cause me to laugh my way to a six pack like they did.
Well they didn't either, but it was nice to know those muscles still work.

I'm in the process of photographing cupcakes for my kitchen wall.

Here's to hoping they won't cause any weight gain!

So romantic.

2010-03-29T16:03:00.000-07:00

Isn't it funny how springtime makes you feel like a different person?
There's something about the warm sunshine on your face and rolling down your car windows that makes you feel alive again.

What is your favorite part of spring?

Photos taken last year. Can't wait for the blossoms to come out!

2010-03-19T12:58:00.000-07:00

Goodbye, friends!

Hello, John Mayer!

My sister's and I will be hittin' the road this Sunday for what I'm sure will be a trip filled with junk food, laughing 'til our stomachs ache, and a few wrong turns... We won't mind getting lost as long as we can eventually find our way to Denver by Tuesday. Thankfully, I don't think it will take us that long, leaving us time to shop in stores we can't afford and eating food our bodies can't afford...
ha, ha, ha!

Here are a few shots I took from his last concert in Salt Lake.

I have found a new love.

Decorating!

I fall asleep thinking of new ways to add life to our little house. I often find inspiration at decor8 and I'm loving this post. I love the lamp shades and I LOVE the idea of putting birdhouses ON the walls. I imagine them in a little girl's room with lot's of fabric birds flying around.

Today I am attempting to sew a few throw pillows. I had to take a quick sanity break after I sewed my first one inside out. I decided to be a big girl and instead of throwing a fit, I blogged : )

I will shoot a few photos once I'm done. IF they turn out!

Happy Monday, Everyone!

2010-02-22T20:31:00.000-08:00

Day 46/365:

Ahhhh, bath time. My favorite part of the day. I never go without. I think the world would be a much more peaceful place if everyone took a nice hot bubble bath at the end of their day. And no, I didn't make the bubbles into a heart. I just think it's my tub returning the love.

Josh's tie has been hanging on our bathroom door for a couple weeks now. I don't know exactly why, but I like it there. I have no intention to take it down.

I. LOVE. THIS. FAMILY!
This was our third shoot together and like the other two, there was never a dull moment! These kids are cute and hilarious and I enjoy every second of it. Thanks for a great time and also for supporting me and my love of photography throughout the years, but most of all... Congratulations on adding another adorable, dimpled cheek baby to the family.

2010-02-04T18:23:00.000-08:00

Day 27/365:

Today I made a wonderful little concoction. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, milk, and honey. Joshua and I like trade off when it comes to making smoothies. Once the cups are poured we then proceed to explain why this smoothie has trumped the others last smoothie. He seems to think that his have MUCH more flavor while I boast that mine are healthy -yet still delicious- which CLEARLY makes mine the winner. Oh, and the beautiful honey (it really is beautiful) came from my in-laws who have their own bees. It's lovely.
