I heart bargains!

It may not be to the extreme like the "Coupon Nazi" but, I was pretty proud of myself!


I got all this for $19.40. Had I paid full retail price for these items I would have spent $60.33, now that's crazy!

Funny bit of info: I went to Lee's Market in search of an item that was basically going to be free after coupons and sadly discovered they had completely sold out.. on the first day of the sale! I giggled to myself because I know exactly who bought them all! I'll bet her food storage/basement looks just like a grocery store, no exaggeration. Vaughn and I joke around about the "Coupon Nazi" (who is a real person by the way) who waits outside for the store doors to open, then rushes in to buy everything so no one else can even get a chance. There was a hot item last week which was sold out..she must have gotten there before us. Darn, she's at it again! I think it's so hilarious.

I'll be posting about our 1st anniversary soon (which was a blast!) so stay tuned!

Going Private

Unfortunately, after some childish, ignorant and rude comments anonymously left on our blog we have decided to go private to prevent this in the future.

Please leave your email address if you would like an invite to our blog. We would like to make the change by next week, so let us know! Thanks everyone!

Published!

This makes me happy.

frustrations...

I officially own my own business now and it's quite the exciting adventure. I love the idea that I'm my own boss. I love photography. I love what I do, it's a dream come true for me. I fully enjoy it and my clients are of utmost importance to me. My greatest desire and goal is for them to adore the outcome of their portraits.

However, I got completely frustrated when I was blamed for something that could have been prevented. I will most definitely be making some changes concerning my photography policies.

Vaughn and I were married on a perfectly cloudy, humid, beautiful day.

July 15th, 2008







It has been one year since we were married and sealed in the Salt Lake temple. I really can't believe it. Time really does fly when you're having fun! Every time I think of that heavenly splendid day, the tears begin brimming. It was so special, so sacred and it makes me so happy at the very thought it. We had FINALLY made it, it was such a relief that we would no longer have to part ways at the end of a date.. we could now be together forever, that thought gave me non-stop smiles. It truly was the very best day of my life, Vaughn's too! Just to know that I will be with my sweetheart forever is something that I hold so dear to my heart. Vaughn is so incredibly special to me, he is my whole world and I thank Heavenly Father every day that we get to spend the rest of our lives and eternity together. We honestly have a wonderful marriage and we have an amazingly close relationship. He makes me laugh everyday and he can always make me smile. I get butterflies when I know he's coming home or when he kisses me. He is my best friend and we tell each other that often. I can't even count the times each day that we tell each other "I love you". You can never say it enough! I'm such a lucky girl to have such a hot, handsome and charming husband. May the next 50 years be just as fun, crazy and full of laughter!
I love you with all my heart babe, you're my angel.

Bridals

I teamed up with another photographer who is trying to build up her portfolio for weddings by doing free bridals! How great is that? See her work here. She has been doing family portraits for years and wants to branch out into the wedding field. So this was another opportunity for me to wear my wedding dress and I jumped at the chance! I wanted something different, something Vogue. I wanted to be on the beach in California but, the great Salt Lake would have to do. Aren't they lovely?
